So here's my plan for the next three days, such as it is.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to finish my livetweet of Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Tuesday, I'm going to kind of take off. Might not be off Twitter but I'm giving myself space to just... be. For the day.
Wednesday, I'm going to try to come back in a better headspace where I can do the work that I feel called to do, which I think must necessarily include the work of being hopeful, the act of choosing to hope.
I need a mental reset. I've been sick off and on and mostly sequestered at home since before the official declarations started.

Yesterday I said a crisis like the pandemic can function as a revolution simulator.

Think about David Geffen hiding on his yacht. If you could utterly disrupt the vertically-integrated entertainment industry, like 100% break up the systems that make it work?

He's still fine.
He can hide on his yacht living on hoarded wealth until he figures out how to leverage that wealth to control a big piece of whatever comes next. Sure, his holdings are reduced but you know he's not just holding his own entertainment company stock.
Working-for-a-living actors and musicians? They're screwed, in direct proportion to the extent that they're working for a living. Same thing with all the technical crew.

It looks as though there may have been (very slightly) fewer reported deaths from covid-19 in the US yesterday than the day before? Which doesn't mean we've peaked, but does show that the numbers climbing upward is not an inexorable fact.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/…
Worth keeping in mind that the deaths are a time-delayed effect of earlier events so any ups and downs in the rate of change is not about what we're doing now or yesterday, but stuff going back as far as two weeks.
And there were a number of things that happened between about March 15th and yesterday that make me think the death toll is going to accelerate again.

Worst response I received today was the Reply Guy telling me the stated purpose of US copyright laws when I was talking about the purpose they serve today.

Do I look like an 18th century gentleman with eligible daughters?

No?

Then I don't care about Ben Franklin's intentions.
Throw out copyright as a concept and the big money fight goes from who controls the content to who controls the platforms.

Can't really see that being the downfall of something like the House of Mouse, personally. Money still wins, and they still have the infrastructure.
The concept of intellectual property has been abused to absurd degrees by giant corporations but it's also the only thing that somewhat halfway forces them to deal with individual creators equitably, and that allows us to make a living outside them.

I'm not really into Omega Bakugou, but... 40yo unmated omega Bakugou who is the editor of the most important Fashion Magazine in the country (and maybe the world). He's a ruthless businessman with a keen intellect and sharp eye for trends and new designers. He kept unmated bc
He wanted to be taken seriously as a professional and wanted to climb the ladder by his own strength and shut up everyone who said he couldn't do it bc he was an omega. And Bakugou is the best there's in his job - hell, he answers emails during his goddamn heat with a knotted
dildo stuck on his ass. He'll do whatever he has to keep his magazine sales flying high. And that's why he hires a brilliant young alpha journalist. Freshly graduated from Harvard with the highest honors, Midoriya Izuku's resume was the stuff dreams were made of - the only BUT

hehe, okay, so:
It's 5am in the early frosty morning, when Namjoon turns on his small lamp next to his bed, lightening the whole room in a glimmery yellow tone. He hears the wind rustle outside, tossing and turning leaves and gras, the trees slowly rocking from left to right.
He has to refill his water tank for the next three days, already used most of it and he's not very keen on doing it in the night. So he slowly heaves his sleep drunk body up, his hair falling over his eyes as he lazily rubs at the corner of his eyes.
After first brushing his teeth and splashing some of the icy water onto his swollen face he makes way to his wardrobe and puts on undergarments before retorting to his woolen pullover and wind resistant pants. He looks up and out the window, making sure he's dressed warm

Here is a politician from the BJP, India's ruling party which also controls Delhi Police, giving an ultimatum to the same Delhi Police saying that he and his people will not even listen to the authorities and will take the law into their own hands.
One video from today shows a police person in Delhi pelting stones along with a mob

Here the priest is bowing before NabaPatrika(or Kolabou as we refer to her in Bengali). NabaPatrika Snan at MahaSaptami morning is the main ritual of the day.

NabaPatrika means nine types of Plants. Paddy, banana, taro, turmeric, jayanti, bael, pomegranate, ashoka, colocasia.
Paddy tree represents Devi Lakshmi.
Banana tree represents Devi Bramhani.
Taro tree represents Devi Kalika.
Turmeric tree represents Devi Durga.
Jayanti tree represents Devi Kartiki.
Bael tree represents Devi Shiba.
Pomegranate tree represents Devi Raktadantika.
Ashoka tree represents Devi Shokrahita.
Colocasia tree represents Chamunda.

Nine forms of Devi are present in that tree. It is Holy ! That's why he's bowing before her. NabaPatrika is the Goddess manifested. But, heathen Hindu needs to stop this for showing respect to woman😆.

Jaeyong Spin-Off AU✨

Despite of how Jung Jaehyun has prepared himself in meeting his husband, Lee Taeyong, again all these years since latter's disappearance, he was rendered speechless, frozen in his spot as he saw the empty eyes that were once full of life gazing back at him.
NOTE: Spin-off of this Nomin AU

I know that I told you guys I'm going to write Jaeyong NSFW first, but I feel terribly sad at the moment. I think my mood suits this so...

-Quote
-Don't reply
NOTE: Another thing, the "...since latter's disappearance..." of this AU's blurb was supposed to be "...EVER since THE latter's disappearance..." but because of character limit, your boy had to delete some words.

#livetweet thread of Women who Out Steampunked Steampunk, opening with a note about how diverse the Victorian era is and that women of colour very much existed
Straw poll on interest of the room of soldiers and inventors. Talking about how women were soldiers, that there were lots of reasons to go to war, that lgbtq erasure is real and that some women returned and went on lecture circuit;
others lived in male garb for rest of life after war and that many of them are likely what we would understand as trans.
Also all the nurses and wives going to war. Quick anecdote of soldier's wife grumpy about laundry ruined by canon ball.
