EMMA: What a delightful day. Nothing has gone horribly wrong yet.
BOOM-BOOM: Heeeeeeeeeeey fuckos I'm home!
EMMA: This is why I drink. If my mouth is busy, I can't call down my own doom.
BEAST: Does that work for everyone?
EMMA: Mimosa?
KITTY: What are you doing? There's a crisis!
EMMA: Drinking.
BEAST: Emma makes amazing mimosas.
EMMA: It's all in being heavy-handed with the champagne.
KITTY: ...does drinking help?
EMMA: Let's find out together. You're of legal age now.
BOBBY: What the heck is going on he--
JEAN: Oh thank the Phoenix, alcohol. Give me alcohol.
EMMA: What's the magic word?
JEAN: I stood next to Remy today. "Boobs" is apparently the magic word. Over and over, forever. It has lost all meaning.
BOBBY: Yeah, to me, too.

In terms of feeling like I Am A Real Writer, I Do Real Writer Things, nothing really compares to being asked to write an introduction to someone else's collection.
Which actually feeds nicely into something I was thinking about over the weekend: that the human brain simultaneously is bad at novelty AND bad at accepting change.
If I go back to the first few months of my Twitter (oh, 2009 Seanan, you had no idea how weird this was all going to get), I am literally counting down to the release of ROSEMARY AND RUE. Like, "186 days to release I am freaking out" is a legit sentiment.

Hey lovely people! Don't forget that we're less than a week away from MARSCON, where I will be sharing a stage, a smile, and a song with my beloved @catvalente for all the world to see.
It's always a good time when @catvalente and I get together, and it's an even better time when I get to see @veryheathmiller. Plus I totes cursed her baby before he was even born, so you know you wanna see that play out.
Williamsburg, Virginia! Be there or be somewhere else, because physical space is annoying!

I'm having my first experience with eardrops and it's a fucking ride.
I mean, sometimes people respond to my "no, was never interested" when asked if I've ever done Illegal Drugs with "really? You never wanted to get hiiiiiigh?"
And it's like buddy. Friend. Compadre. Dude. Pal. Amigo. HAVE YOU SEEN MY LIFE. DRUGS WOULD NOT IMPROVE IT.

BTW, a quick All-ACC thread... was gonna write about this but didn’t have time…

Dabo won’t win ACC CoY. The guy with the most talented roster never wins. But that’s a shame.
No coach in the ACC had a bigger decision to make this year — one that could’ve gone horribly wrong — than Dabo, and he got it absolutely right. The way he handled the QB situation alone warrants ACC CoY.
I’ve also never understood why having a talented roster negates you coaching ability. Isn’t recruiting a part of coaching? And Dabo has built the culture that has made the recruiting at Clemson what it is. Think about where Clemson was recruiting 5 years ago. Night and day.

#BOOM Archbishop Chaput goes #MicDrop at #Synod2018
"If we lack the confidence to preach Jesus Christ without hesitation or excuses to every generation, especially to the young, then the Church is just another purveyor of ethical pieties the world doesn’t need."
"The elders of the faith community have the task of passing the truth of the Gospel from age to age, undamaged by compromise or deformation. Yet too often my generation of leaders, in our families & in the Church, has abdicated that responsibility...."
...out of a combination of ignorance, cowardice and laziness in forming young people to carry the faith into the future. Shaping young lives is hard work in the face of a hostile culture."

In most political debates, the question that repeatedly arises is -

a) Should "change" be driven merely by the plausibility of an abstract principle? Regardless of how radical the principle might be?

b) Should "change" defer to the customs and traditions of the day?

(Contd..)
There is a case to be made for both a and b

In 19th c. US, an abolitionist movement picked up based on an abstract principle in the "Declaration" that "all men are created equal" - a principle that overrode the complexities of reality. Idealism trumped short-term pragmatism
There are also instances where "change" driven by abstractions has caused havoc because it did not factor in human nature and the messiness on the ground. Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution is a very fine example of "idealism" gone horribly wrong.

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

Jack can't see.

There's blood in his eyes, hot smoke stinging in his nose, his throat, his heart is bruising in his chest with how fast it's beating and it /hurts/. He thinks he screams Gabriel's name but he can't tell, everything is too loud and too quiet all at once.
(This is part 2 of the reincarnation AU, read part 1 here)
He tries to cry out again but he chokes on it, gagging, he can't breathe he can't breathe-

Jack bolted upright, hyperventilating, one hand still around his throat. He still couldn't see. He fumbled for his bedside lamp, only convinced he was back in his bed when he could see it.

Keystone. The centerpiece of a pillar. Or in this case, the center piece that would hold together a hollow sphere. So if you remove a significant portion of that, then you collapse the entire earth. #QAnon #electricuniverse
1) Mainstream Science is wrong. Einstein is wrong. The theory of a molten core at the center of planets is wrong.

Nobody has ever proved that a planet has a molten core. Name me the guy. You can't because that proof does not exist.

#QAnon #electricUniverse
2) Do you remember that conspiracy theory that NASA rammed a rocket onto the moon and it rang like a gong for an hour or so? And that was evidence that the moon is hollow and therefore artificial.

That's partially correct if #electricuniverse is true.
