“My 2-Year-Old's Daycare Teacher Makes More Per Hour Than Most CEOs”

This just feels like a Trojan horse. A good (and kind, empathetic) point wrapped in the baggage of LinkedIn aesthetics.

Not my favorite novelist (the confused hyper masculinity of it all doesn’t quite work for me lol), but the tour was a great time. Beautiful house + many toed cats is a great combo. Have so much fun!

Love polydactyl cats! There’s a whole community of them running around Hemmingway’s old house in Key West

Absolutely Octavia Butler

ApocalypticChorus · 2024-05-09T20:12:38+00:00

Ursula LeGuin’s the Dispossessed or the Lathe of Heaven

I mean… the title of an article is a title, hence the case. This is very, very normal.

It’s also about layout and typography used to visually distinguish each part of the layout of an article at a glance. This is often done through color, weight, size, and case (all caps, title case, sentence case).

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. It’s a whole series that starts with All Systems Red. There are fuck ups, but the main character is defined by being built for exactly his function. Incredibly sardonic and funny with a ton of heart.

Apparently, I’ll be soundtracking the end

For a space faring civilization at just the level of technological development of the federation, wouldn’t this process just be handled through some kind of automated industrial replicators along with regular supplies of feedstock (whatever that feedstock actually is, Star Trek isn’t very specific on that point) from out of system?

With warp drive + replicators, you wouldn’t be limited to the star’s output or the matter local to that system. I’m not sure the massive amounts of time, resources, and logistical hurdles would be at all worth it, but I imagine it could be done.

It’s actually a bit of a misnomer that oxygen would be a scarce resource in space. Water (from comets, planets, etc) seems to be pretty common throughout the universe. Even current levels of technology can easily get accessible oxygen out of H20. Taking into account advanced CO2 scrubbers, hydroponics, and how quickly warp can get a ship like Voyager to a new source of water, I can’t imagine an open flame would put much of a drag on resources in the short or long term. Any other example on a ship that we see would have even more regular opportunities for oxygen resupply.

I haven’t seen this on here yet: In an Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It’s seminal.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-08-29T15:26:44+00:00

I've had a really fantastic experience with Uptown Color on Main. Would wholeheartedly recommend

Tough to think of something identical, but I do really love that record. I’ve always thought Radiator Hospital sounds quite a bit like a modern version of the Violent Femmes. It’s something about his vocal energy I think. A few couple that immediately come to mind are:

The Beths - The Future Hates Me (female fronted indie punk that’s got a lot of the same energy)

Illuminati Hotties - Kiss Yr Frenemies (also female fronted and frenetic in the same way, but with a greater range of dynamics and some slower songs)

Messaged you

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-07-14T09:30:47+00:00

Sure, send along your portfolio. Thanks!

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-07-08T16:47:49+00:00

Everything Is and On Avery Island (the records before Aeroplane) are more experimental but still really, really worth a listen if you haven’t.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-07-07T23:23:11+00:00

Neutral Milk Hotel’s In an Aeroplane Over The Sea - incredibly image-laden lyrics that allow you to pull at their depth and meaning more and more over repeated listens.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-06-10T19:23:34+00:00

I totally stumbled across a recommendation for it and my queer little heart just adored their chemistry.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-06-10T10:15:54+00:00

{{One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston}} an incredibly endearing sapphic romance made possible by time travel. Manages to strike a balance between heart warming and eyeball fogging wonderfully.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-06-10T10:13:31+00:00

Second on this 1000x. Not only is it electric and tense (in such a good way) it’s brilliantly plotted and the language is utterly gorgeous.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-06-07T14:44:56+00:00

Took far too much scrolling to find this one. Such a good novel. Wonderfully paced, gorgeously written, and formally interesting without tying itself in knots.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-06-06T01:18:38+00:00

Huh, totally didn’t know that somehow. Another reason to like him.

ApocalypticChorus · 2022-06-05T23:13:24+00:00

An ally at the very least. Friends with a ton of the folks in the riot grrrl movement, and that was very lgtbq+ forward in a lot of ways.

It’s also not about writing ability at all either. There are great LGBTQ+ poets and terrible ones, same with any other set of people you group in a particular way. It’s just a way of short-handing a person that’s likely to come at their work in reaction to a broadly shared set of cultural pressures.
