This Month in History - November
There’s quite a few pop culture landmark anniversaries this month, here are a few:
Nov. 2, 1992: Harvest Moon released
In Nov. 1992, Neil Young’s 19th studio album was released. The 90s was a really great era for Old Neil and this was actually one of my favorites from that prolific era. It has a real classic folk rock sound that harkens back to Old Neil’s best 70s work. Still sounds timeless. Happy 30th HM!
Nov. 2, 2007: American Gangster opens
In Nov. 2007, Ridley Scott’s crime saga was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 15 AG!
Nov. 3, 2017: Last Flag Flying opens
In Nov. 2017, Richard Linklater’s pseudo-sequel to The Last Detail was released. It at once a road movie, a comedy about men of a certain age, a commentary on both Vietnam and Iraq Wars, and an anti-war / pro-military statement! Bravo to the cast, especially Bryan Cranston! Here is my movie review from 2017. Happy 5 LFF!
Nov. 6, 2012: Music From Another Dimension released
In Nov. 2012, Aerosmith’s 15th studio album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 10 MFAD!

In Nov. 2002, Todd Haynes’ magnum opus was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 20th FFH!

In Nov. 1977, Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi epic was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 45th CEOTTK!
Nov. 18, 1992: Malcolm X opens
In Nov. 1992, Spike Lee’s biopic of Malcolm X was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 30th MX!

In Nov. 1982, Michael Jackson’s greatest album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 40th Thriller!

Idk I just go feral when the Plot necessitates the main character going back to the same point in time in order to beat the bad guy. It's like Groundhog Day, but the entire universe is at stake. Bonus points the angrier the villain gets at the hero's annoyingly indomitable spirit.
#idk since i included mlp on my last post i might as well let my freak flag fly#also is anyone else watching maws?? it's actually so good#clark is babygirl#finna make me a supes stan fr and i did NOT care about that character in the slightest before this series#then again i'm also unversed on the different incarnations. my apathy was due to ignorance so don't come for me#ik other superman incarnations are good too#this one just hits a lil diffy#anyway actual tags#mlp:fim#mlp#twilight sparkle#starlight glimmer#doctor strange#dr strange#mcu#marvel#avengers#maws spoilers#maws season 2#maws#my adventures with superman#superman#lois lane#clark kent#tropes#favorite tropes

“The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting [immigrants] who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.” -Greg Abbott, Texas governor
Hey, so in case y'all aren't aware, the governor of Texas is defying the Supreme Court's order to take out razor wire on the border that severely endangers the lives of people trying to cross, under the grounds that Texas is protecting itself from invasion. Abbott is threatening to pit the Texas national guard against Federal troops. It's probably a bluff, but praying for Republicans to be rational rarely works. Extremists are literally calling for succession from the United States.
I don't think it'll come to fighting, but the fact Abbott is so openly defying federal orders and blatantly threatening militant action is pretty terrifying. Especially if he's just allowed to do this, which would set a very dangerous precedent for what states can get away with.
#im breaking the blackout for Palestine for this one bc like y'all. I'm getting kinda freaked out here#I hate it here so much#literally the other day i was like 'at least I'm not in Florida' and then#I mean people fly confederate flags here they've been itching for a second civil war ever since the last one ended#Texas would be quashed but also we're full of 2nd amendment nutjobs so I imagine there'd be guerilla fighting#idk. I think Abbott will be forced to back down so I don't want to fear monger but it's not great here#politics#usa politics#greg abbott#texas#this blog has gotten so political ah#:(#something to nom on

its four days til the conference and i threw my back out completely. the pain is dizzying. OH NO.
this IS my fault. I DID ignore the prof saying "this stage of the project involves lifting something very heavy so have AT LEAST one other student help you when you need to lift"
I instead decided, for some idiotic reason, to solo deadlift the sucker (a gallon bucket of adobe plaster) myself.
onto a table.
that was almost my height.
...so anyway yeah I'm STUPID
#ffffffuuuuuuck#ow!!!#injury mention#poor! life! choices!#also i just kept being super active w activities after that. for two days. ignoring the red flags my body was flying#until last night when my body dropped ALL subtlety and introduced me to what may be the worst pain ive ever known

i know its 90% venting at the bleakness of american politics but like...
it really fucking blows to know that most people are probably not gonna vote this year. i cant wait for the fallout of that.
#rem rambles#last time trump was elected i was spit on and called a nigger to my face at work.#lets see what happens this time. surely not worse than that.#like fuck joe biden. i will personally beat him to death with a rock. i hated him last time. i hate him now.#but the swiftness that people are like 'no actually i'll take my chances with the republicans who have been flying nazi flags and actively#putting forth legislation to eradicate trans people and flirting with the klan and pushing for genital checks on kids' is...staggering.#like i see the strategy you think youre doing. as if democrats dont get off on losing constantly....#its not moral strength to sit down and let the worse motherfucker win just to say ''haha see! you need me! you should be nicer to me.''#if that was the case the democrats would have picked it up with hillary losing. but they didnt. obviously.#get local. start supporting local politicians that are more leftist than what we got. but by god to not expose people in red states#to even worse shit. do not encourage those bitches to visit my goddamn city AGAIN.#like what do you even think will happen outside of negative outcomes for people who arent you? like some republican will tell israel to sto#again i know its venting. so let me vent too. because holy shit is it wildly tone deaf to use the minorities that the republicans are#targeting as a fucking bargaining chip with people who dont care about us anyway.#as if saying ''im willing to sacrifice native americans to show democrats that i mean business'' will even work.#these people are so far gone that televised genocide will not move them. but you think digging your heels in will. absurd. childish behavio

Wet dreams are strangely freeing to write because you don't have to worry so much about the why and how and even where things are happening. It's a dream. It doesn't have to make total sense or always be in order or have a reason for what's going on. You can be symbolic with stuff or just make something happen because it's a dream - things are just Like That. And because it's a dream, you can explore ideas or interactions without worrying about it affecting the "real world" interactions of your muse. It can just be fun nonsense.
So here's a little sinday advice - if you're not confident in writing smut, try writing a wet dream. It's a great way to get the practice in.
#Time for Maintenance (OOC)#Not Safe for Working (smut)#(some advice I realized while writing the last drabble)#(it's so easy to overthink writing smut but wet dreams are a great way to get past that)#(go wild and let your freak flag fly! it's just a dream after all!)

#ugh the podcast version doesn't have a Russian accent#when its established that the captain is russian#maybe this is my own little quibble#but I have such a pet peeve for slavic characters with Anglophone accents#don't get me wrong his voice is good#but let down on the accent front#i also have this slight frustration with the last voyage of the demeter#I suppose you could argue flying under a Russian flag doesn't make the captain Russian#but....I think it is pretty firmly established as a Russian vessel
