You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s weirdly exhilarating and addictive to be terrified all the time, and the people addicted to it, when they say this, may as well be saying “I can stop at any time, it’s just the world doing this *to* me.”
One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair

We offer those services here at great cost because we value the health of our neighbors, and I'm damn proud of that. But our facility served (unpaying, unbillable) residents of something like 87 of Iowa's 99 counties in the past year.

Alien: Earth does a lot of things I love, it’s stylish, it’s dripping with atmosphere, it gets weird in some fun ways. But it seems either completely unaware of its best ideas, or afraid to engage them.
‘Alien: Earth’ is Terrified of its Own Queerness
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write about Alien: Earth one episode at a time or just wait until the season wraps. But four episodes in—halfway through its eight-episode run—the show feels like it’s fin...

iirc also that one episode of the lone gunmen about hijacking an airplane and crashing it into the twin towers
fun fact: although this album was released in November 2001, the art was done in June 2001

not only that, but musk sent his personal goons to follow the whistleblower. when the police who were sent to check out the "threat" found the engineer, he was curled up in a corner sobbing.
musk then dedicated further resources attempting to blackball the reporter who ran the engineer's story.

arrest me but make it sexy
Adam Kelly, who goes by the stage name Adamn Killa, was handcuffed and briefly held in a squad car after interrupting a traffic stop for one of his social media videos. After he was released, he went right back to making more videos.
Chicago rapper Adamn Killa tells cops to 'arrest me, daddy.' Getting arrested won't stop him.

these foods can then transmit those personal or moral characteristics to anyone who eats them, transforming them into a different type of person, degrading/enhancing their character, morals, social status, etc.
and all of this is explained in language that borrows heavily from nutrition terminology

the vigil was pretty affecting. it was great to see all the support from a pretty white rural community, for them to hear the story a daughter told of her green-card holding mother being brutalized, knelt on, and interrogated while the DHS guys tried to make them admit her REAL ID was fake
I'm going to a vigil tonight that will almost certainly be under DHS surveillance to show solidarity with families whose loved ones were kidnapped in broad daylight what the fuck is Sheldon Whitehouse doing to face these 'dangers' of which he speaks, huh?
