20 percent of a novel draft done, baby!

“is there a technology that the left is excited about?”

Trains. We love trains, actually

2026 basically

It’s hard when you KNOW there are a bunch of bangers episodes coming but you got to slog through the bad and mid.

A scene from the Star Trek episode Suddenly Human. A young white man sits at a table while Captain Picard, played by Patrick Stewart stands behind him.

“Suddenly Human” is a mid TNG episode and it could have been great if they just had Jono bond with Worf instead of Picard. You know, the character adopted by another species…

But there were plenty of men waiting for their services.

Being a "stay at home" mom? HAHA. What??? Survival drove them. They worked, often illegally, because they had no education and needed to survive.

Women have *always worked*. They were just un(der)paid, unappreciated, exploited, & ignored.

Something that's been on my mind as I research this topic of seamstresses is how many women work. Really work. Work from their young teens forward. And some turned to sex work to provide when their craft could not.

There were no men waiting to make them "honest women." There rarely are.

No

joan from MAD MEN

she should have been allowed to kill one guy per season

I'd rather volunteer for a SAW trap.

And both of them are a reflection of the previous generation!!!

I read the Wikipedia page for “Wuthering Heights” and like…. Wat?

I really do wish more adaptations adapted the other half of the book! Catherine and Hareton are interesting characters!!!!

Wow that was the most upsetting video I’ve seen involving a Kennedy!

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

A Star Trek show with with men wearing dress, an atypical Klingon in Starfleet, a person with a disability visible and atypical women in positions they typically haven’t had in Trek before?!?!? How dare they?!? How woke!

The Next Generation is wildly woke.

My tbr is huge…

Vito Corleone played by Marlon Brando and Tom Hagan played by Robert Duvall

The scene where Tom Hagan tells Vito about Sonny is probably my favorite in The Godfather. It’s both an employee speaking to his boss and a father and son. Both parts of their relationship shift and blend together in a few minutes.

It is so pretty!!!

Babe ;_; I need to read Detransition, Baby. My coworkers speak highly of the book.

She is incredibly beautiful in that movie!

The perfect meal is an espresso martini, a big salad, and a side of fries

Finished Stag Dance by Torrey Peters, and I love Babe Bunyon with all my heart.

A white woman holds a cabbage leaf in front of her face. She is surrounded by a spread of food do a hot pot. The hot pot is full of brown broth

Hot Pot date for Valentine’s Day!

the more you learn about the antebellum south the more you transform into this

every plantation owner should have been put to death

You can see how the writing just takes a huge leap in quality.

After a long pause, I’ve resumed my Star Trek TNG watch through. Getting to The Best of Both Worlds in proper order made me appreciate it more.

Thank you!!! 😊

It was inspired by "The Wife's Story" by Ursula K. LeGuin!
