        RUSH

        I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath,
        Before I start off again driven on,
        Without a moment to spend to pass an evening with a drink and a friend

        I let my skin get too thin I’d like to pause,
        No matter what I pretend, like some pilgrim who learns to transcend,
        Learns to live as if each step was the end
        Time stands still
        I’m not looking back but I want to look around me now
        Time stands still
        See more of the people and the places that surround me now
        Time stands still
        Freeze this moment a little bit longer
        Make each sensation a little bit stronger
        Experience slips away
        Experience slips away
        Time stands still…

    I really don’t like this game Dorothy is playing. I know she is fighting her own feelings of inadequacy, and is trying to hold herself to a higher standard, but she’s being really …cold… to someone she supposedly loves. You don’t push those people away, they are there to give you strength when you need it.

              Possibly, but browsing that site has proved.. problematic.. (eg. It often makes Firefox ask to record both audio and video) and I don’t always have the patience to wade through all the painfully bad fanfics. Or the unfinished, abandoned ones.

              Omg, poetry! 🙂 It’s like a cross between Lewis Carroll and Hoid. 🙂

                I don’t know who Hoid is (please, let me know!), but writing like ol’ Lewis Carrol is everything I aspire to.

          I’m usually not into reading fanfics (might be, because I basically spent my teenage years with a friend together in a big meshed up fanfic we created in a messenger while writing. Thus our mutual love for writing was born… but I’m drifting of.)
          Loved the first one with the twins (also still want to read the others), it made me snort a lot (I’m currently pretty sick, so I needed something like this – even though it was intended for inahc) 😀

            (snort as in “that’s funny”, because I can’t really laugh right now. Just wanted to clarify, ’cause on a second thought, it sounds pretty strange saying “it made me snort”)

                Aw- thanks, I’ll be sure to read it (and the other ones as well)!

                And thanks – it did lead into me and my friend studying languages and myself producing a bunch of pretty long – and sometimes reaaally bad ones, ’cause I knew nothing of thoroughly planning a story, I simply wrote (until university kinda punched creativity out of me, but I’m slowly starting again with my ideas and motivation) so thanks 🙂

    Okay, is the rooftop inaccessible to those who aren’t superheroes or… adventurous enough to climb through the elevator roof hatch?
    Or is the roof perfectly accessibly by lift yet inexplicably not a popular hangout spot?

    Or do Americans not appreciate a good accessible rooftop as much as I do?

    Yes, Walky likes doing that ‘Luke watching the sunset’ thing and he isn’t deliberately trying to appear wistfully heroic. The thing is that I’m wondering if that imagery is now going to be playing on Dorothy’s mind!

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.

Kids and adults standing on a pedestrian bridge over the highway with protest signs that say fascists out and no Trump no ice. The best one is green and says Trump eats boogers.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings
