Etudiante, fainéante, républicaine et bonne à rien. Who: Thirtysomething ambiguously autistic rationalist-adjacent.5 fannish recovering academic and fake musical theatre geek. Devotee of Vidocq, Lyonnaise at heart, an accidental scholar of the nineteenth-century French penal system and a quasi-expert on Hugo's "Le Dernier Jour d'un condamné." My primary contributions to the fandom are the #Toulon asks tag and a Toulon-era, Chenildieu-centric fic on permanent hiatus. You may also know me as the source of the words in Susan Bin's Rudolph rant [http://yosb.tumblr.com/post/42990681512/its-a-metaphor-yosb]. What: This tumblr started out as repository of 1789-1848 French geekery but evolved inevitably into a Les Mis blog. It retains its original purpose by being the home of the Toulon ask. I talk about nineteenth-century French convicts most of the time and often blur the line between fiction and reality while doing so. Toulon-only sideblog is toulon-bagne-official. When: From March 2013 onwards. I don't post as frequently as I should. Where: New York. Why: Because I have to talk about The Thing somewhere.

Fun Fact
Tumblr has a low social media market share in South America.

honestly there's something to this. the insane versatility of petroleum, how it really CAN make everything. Including toy dinosaurs, whence the "a trace of the true self remains" meme
i feel like petrochemicals are a fantastic untapped base for a religion. from crude oil all things(?) come, to oil we will all one day return. you could have a fucked up giga trinity with every derivative of oil as well

"a big one is that terminally online leftists live in social media bubbles as distorting to reality as boomers hooked on fox news, and anyone who has leftist political leanings but doesn’t blindly accept the insane shibboleths repeated in these spaces gets yelled at as a shitlib. because people like you aren’t interested in political or material reality; you’re interested in looking cool to your internet friends"
this is why I stay off leftbook as much as I possibly can, it's unfuckingbearable
Consensus on tumblr seems to be that Trump's actions on Iran are the fault of the Dems because they allowed him to run as a peace candidate/failed to run someone more electable.
well, there's no pleasing some people. murc's law, innit? somehow only the democrats have agency, only the democrats can be held to standards, the republicans are a force of nature that cannot be reasoned with or expected to govern responsibly, etc, etc.

‘We need more loud, unashamed queers’ yes but some of you can’t even seem to handle a bisexual woman liking men.

I mean I just think, sorry, but the whole "porn (I guess straight porn) causes men to view women as objects" discourse is a part of the larger "fiction media inculcates beliefs into people in a really direct, naive way", which like... maybe if you are stupid? Like maybe if you are actually dumb. But I don't know how to express that if you have actual deeply-felt principles, and contemplate your actions in light of these principles honestly, uh. This just does not happen?

same thing when people talk about "experienced psychics" or whatever
I love when paranormal investigators appeal to their long experience for credibility. I've been playing pretend for seventeen years, and let me tell you in that time I've imagined some shit you wouldn't believe.

this is what collaborative writing is for tbh. get a cowriter who can do the prose thing but needs someone else’s plot and structure
A few years ago I was considering idly daydreaming about writing a novel that takes the form of a history book from the 2090s describing 21st century American history. And literally the point of departure from our timeline that I envisioned for the start of the book was a war with Iran in 2025.

courtesy of DALL-E finally brought to life my counterfactual glam rock musical set in East Berlin where Patti LuPone plays a state-approved pop star [Tosca], Mandy Patinkin is her subversive muralist lover [Cavaradossi], and Kevin Kline is the Stasi agent who wants her to betray him [Scarpia]
I would trade this for Rent in a heartbeat

apparently the reconstructed date range for proto-Kartvelian is as early as like... ten thousand bc?? that's crazy. especially for such a small, geographically compact language family. are they just insanely diverse languages?
