when i find myself in times of trouble
terry pratchett comes to me
whispering sam vimes once arrested a motherfucking dragon
you are capable of literally anything
Sam Vimes once arrested two opposing armies to end a war.
Sam Vimes fought an ancient mind-controlling spirit and won. Sam Vimes killed a werewolf with his bare hands. Sam Vimes happily wears the awful lumpy itchy socks his wife knits him. Sam Vimes causes traffic jams in order to be home in time to read his baby a bedtime story. Sam Vimes fought at the barricades— twice. Sam Vimes waited until his interviewee had left and then put his coat over his head so no one could hear him laughing hysterically at her silly name. Sam Vimes is my hero.
Sam Vimes overcame a crippling alcohol dependency. Sam Vimes examines and confronts his internal prejudices. Sam Vimes lived in poverty because he was giving his salary to the widows and orphans of fellow officers. Sam Vimes cleaned up a corrupt police force and made it inclusive of the different ethnicities in his city.
Sam Vimes is my hero too.
He turned to leave, then seemed to have a thought. “Sergeant Dorfl!” he said, turning back. “D’you think you’ll believe in gods now?”
Every eye in the Watch House turned to the golem sergeant. “Not Gods, Yet.” said Sergeant Dorfl. “But Always Sam Vimes.”

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.
^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.
and a preface to the Wilderness Years 2.0
In The Unexpected: Narrative Temporality and the Philosophy of Surprise, Mark Currie writes, “[T]he relationship between an open future, which is still to come, and a closed one, which has already happened, is the defining feature for the relationship between a reader and what has traditionally been called a protagonist or any other participant in the action of a written narrative.” We identify with the character whose temporal experience most closely mirrors ours. The premise of Doctor Who conflates this unimaginably vast gap between story time and narrative time with the characters of the Doctor and the companion. The Doctor is a time-travelling being that has lived for billions of years and the companion is one deep and striking glimpse into aspects of that life. It builds on the premise of the Doctor and us. The story of the Doctor is unending and heartwarming but there are episodes we watch foregrounding the Doctor’s grief whose story time spans much longer than we’ve lived. Much longer than the lives of star systems. Here, nostalgia is a compass spinning haywire. This is an essay about the failure of the mechanics of nostalgia in Doctor Who as incurred during a period known among persistent viewers as RTD2.
I wrote about nostalgia, narrative theory, and RTD2.

genuinely this is so well written and well thought out. It is 100% worth the read and will make you think.
give this a read and consider supporting the author so they can continue writing more amazing things.

the circus is empty, all of the monkeys are here
You are allowed to find things hot in theory while also never wanting to actually do them in real life btw. You can get off on whatever wild shit in your imagination and still prefer to be very vanilla in real life. Or not want to have sex at all in real life. You don't owe the universe anything in exchange for your dirty mind.
i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is and always has been fascist rhetoric everyone.
Who determines what you should have to hide? The cops used to literally peek through people's windows to try and catch gay people engaging in what was then illegal activity.
What are you doing today that tomorrow will be determined to be illegal?
I know this sounds like the deranged ramblings of a senile old man but I swear it used to be possible to look up information on the internet
How is YOUR bingo sheet looking rn btw? Have I missed it or has it not been part of your reading updates for a bit?
lmao I was going to say there haven't been any notable updates but then it turned out it's been longer than I thought since the last time I actually posted my sheet. I've been adding books but not sharing...
three left !!

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
Give credit to the 30-year-old who worked on this for free and offers this service for free!
WHAT?!
I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3
I use this and it’s fucken great. No bullshit. Really works. Sometimes the world is kind.
Objects as spaceships, by Eric Geusz
My favorite is the fidget spinner space station. It almost feels like someone designed it first and then fidget spinners came out and now everyone laughs at it… instead of the other way around.
It’s Eric! He was one of my best friends in highschool!
He also does series of space cats, and one of the ones floating upside down and looking at you is based on my cat Ginger :D
The kitty herself, Ginger!
He’s a super cool dude and seeing his art on tumblr is nuts!
Check out his website, which includes an area to buy prints
You can see more of his work in general on Instagram
And buy T-Shirts too!
God yeah I will hype him every chance I get lol!

1) This is hilarious
2) Her work is all really awesome! And she’s got a ton of short stories available for free online. Some of my favorites:
“Bluebeard’s Wife” -- what would happen if a woman Bluebeard married just didn’t look in the room?
“The Dryad’s Shoe” -- an aroace Cinderella who has zero interest in the ball or the prince but does love gardening
“Jackalope Wives” -- takes the skinshifting conceit of selkies and applies it to jackalopes (folkloric horned rabbits) in the American Southwest. Also stars the absolutely iconic Grandma Harken, whose left to clean up the mess when her grandson tries to catch himself a jackalope wife. This one won a bunch of awards and there’s an audio version read by LeVar Burton.
“Sun Moon Dust” -- a young farmer inherits a sword bound to the souls of three warriors, all ready to teach him to be a hero... but he has no desire to be anything but a farmer. A very sweet M/M story!
The rest of her free fiction is linked to on her site. She’s also got some great novellas and novels, including a f/f “Snow Queen” retelling!
omg she wrote "The Seventh Bride" which I love you tricksy woman!!!

One of my all time favorite characters Mr. Spock for @creatingblackcharacters' Melanin Beam Challenge! Thank you so much to CBC for running this challenge and for all the wonderful education you provide!
Loc design is from CBC's Lesson 2, specifically this Pinterest board that is linked there (specific reference pic under the cut!)
Currently reading/listening to: The Good Neighbor by Maxwell King
It is so. so nice. so appropriate that the audiobook of the biography of Fred Rogers is narrated by LeVar Burton. I just got the most cozy feeling starting it.
