Me trying to digest further evidence of my government's hard right turn receiving these news

On this fine Wednesday, I bring you: more Sandbaggers fic. Click through to find out what David Graeber quote I am misappropriating for my PWP

VOLITION - Do it for the city. Go.

SHIVERS - Do it for the wind.

LOGIC - Do it for the picture puzzle. Put it all together. Solve the world. One conversation at a time.

I'm reading it right now and it's so good!!!!!

Every day the urge to get hand tattoos increases

Sending you love and solidarity, and also my cat Sundance absolutely blissed out during his afternoon nap, as well as a picture I took with my dad's old SLR camera on a trip to Cape Town last year because I've been enjoying getting back into analogue photography in this age of AI

If he leaves who's going to watch out for Neil!! No one else is left to care about the man!!!!

Every day I wake up and I think about them... Willie and Neil... Neil and Willie...

Past Sins
Oh, Sister
Mercator
The Notion of Respectability
Two Birds on a Wire

Tlhod is one of those books that can be really special from so many different angles. I read it for the gender, then I read it for the nationalism, and then I read it for the ice, and each time I took something else from it!

Hoy no es un día Feliz, es un día de lucha por los derechos que aún nos niegan, entre muchos de ellos el de seguir vivas.

Hasta que estemos todes.
Keep Fighting 💜✊🏼 #8M

Respectfully, what did Stan Rogers put in the Northwest Passage that it hits like that

YES I LOVED IT SO MUCH

If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next || Casablanca Fanvid YouTube video by FairestCat

#FanvidRec for "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" by FairestCat, from Festivids 2024.

It's a great Casablanca vid that hits a bit hard right now (yes, I previously mentioned it when it was still anonymous).

Very excited to announce my talk at the @rgsibg.bsky.social !! 27 April, both in person and online. 🥳 #NavalHistory

For the noisy valor of future years, for a lofty race of men, I have lost my cup at the fathers' feast, my honor, my cheerfulness. The wolfhound century leaps on my back but I have no wolf in my blood, oh, hide me deep and warm, like a cap in the sleeve of Siberia's coat. Let me see no coward, no sticky slime, no wheel with bones and blood, but silver foxes that shine all night with a grace from before the flood. Bear me off to the dark-flowing Yenisey where pine trees stretch to the stars, because I have no wolf in my blood, and shall only be killed by my peers. March 17-28, 1931

every single day as this wolfhound century progresses i think of this poem by osip mandelstam (who did not escape his own wolfhound century).

но не волк я по крови своей

(the translation is by peter france)

Love to see a man rolling a cigarette on an erratically moving bus. This requires an inner equilibrium achieved by few

Returning to my roots

Man Is (No) Wolf to Man Political Philosophy and The Terror

It also occurs to me that because my phone died, I never shared this here, so let me remedy that. I finally wrote about The Terror, Kropotkin, and mutual aid.

Inaugurating the Neil Burnside/Willie Caine tag and you're all welcome archiveofourown.org/works/78277776

What a pleasure to moderate this conversation. Takeaways: joy, naivety/approaching your work like an amateur, integrity - all sit at the foundation of creative work that lasts in a world designed to make it seem disposable.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Tune in Friday, December 5 during Terror Camp for an EXCLUSIVE TEASER of Alex Stone's film adaptation of The Worst Journey In The World ❄️

when the function got a lil jocularity... #mash

A tuxedo cat stretched out on a blanket, one leg forward, eyes closed, deeply asleep

That's my sweet boy Sundance... He loves to be asleep on my lap. Wishing you safe travels!

HUGEST W EVER

ao3 kudos emails are a beautiful reminder of how fandom is so everlasting. like, someone might read smth i wrote over a decade ago, rejoicing in a new fandom for the very first time, & i may have forgotten that singular joy, but someone will follow in my footsteps. and it's right there in my inbox.

I am constantly thinking about my D&D character. I never understood people who said that and then it happened to me

A tabby cat and a tuxedo cat, snuggling on a wool blanket. The tabby cat is half on top of his brother.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending you hugs and a picture of Cassidy and Sundance 🫂

Last day to submit your abstract! 🩵
