Here’s a little anti-civ essay about why I’m not a fan of holidays. It touches on their psychological and environmental harms, but also delves into the philosophical waters, analysing how holidays are a big part of an oppressive, exploitative structure that we’ve taken for granted. Read to learn more.

RIP Alfredo Bonanno (4 March 1937 – 6 December 2023). He kept it real.

"The only thing that might happen is for new, more attractive and more complex enigmas to appear which are increasingly difficult to resolve. Or the destruction of everything."

Pro-tip for making your roommates want to murder you: Refer to every banana as "Lieutenant Bonanno"

Fam, your Were-wolf Eliot head canon post came up in my queue for reblog and I re-read it and gotta ask,

Does Lieutenant Bonanno know? And if so how did he react?

Tara was with them long enough to find out, how did she react to "Sparky"?

(Also I am majorly inspired by the image of Quinn just showing up when he's in town for a wolfy play date (and yes both Eliot and Quinn have threatened Hardison not to call it that, Parker gets a pass calling it that cause she's Parker and she'll call it that anyway threat or no threat) and I was wondering if you'd be okay with me trying to write that scene and tagging you when it's done?)

Ahh thanks so much for asking!! You've made my brain start thinking about this fic and headcanons all over again!!

Bonanno finds out during the events of The Boys' Night Out Job. After all the other crazy stuff he has to deal with from Nate Ford & Friends, he just throws his hands up and says, 'of course you are. of course werewolves are real. i should'a known.' and goes about his life. But every time they play cards, he squints at Eliot and warns him against using his enhanced abilities to win.

"No funny wolf business, y'hear? We try to keep it a clean game." Eliot just blinks at him. "I don't have x-ray vision, dammit!"

Tara figured it out before the rest of the team did but she never said anything about it, knowing that he was keeping something like that secret for a reason. But when Sophie calls up to rant about something Eliot's done (after the team's found out), Tara just laughs and says something along the lines of "classic Sparky". Sophie is like, wait, you know??? And Tara's like, oh you know now too?? Finally!!! And then they gossip about Eliot and werewolves and all the weird stuff they've encountered on grifts. Because, really, finding out Eliot Spencer is a werewolf is one of the least-weird things to happen in Tara's life.

WOLFY PLAY DATE OH MY GOSH YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!! Ahhh you may absolutely write the scene, I would be honoured! Though fair warning that I have plans to include it in my fic of this whole AU, The Full Moon Job. And if I read your version of it before I write my own, I may be influenced by what you write. So as long as that doesn't bother you, have at it!

If you are interesting in vintage clothing (specifically Victorian menswear) I recommend you check out Valerio Bonanno on instagram. He describes himsr of as a “Antique clothing enthusiast”. He posts included details of what men wore in that era, from underwear, to suits, to outerwear. (Link below)

Hurry comrade, shoot the policeman, the judge, the boss.

Now, before a new police prevent you.

Hurry to say No, before the new repression convinces you that saying no is pointless, mad, and that you should accept the hospitality of the mental asylum.

Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you.

Hurry to refuse work before some new sophist tells you yet again that ‘work makes you free’.

Hurry to play.

Hurry to arm yourself.

— Alfredo M Bonanno

Me as soon as I clock-in at work:

[nando161mando]

No real joy can reach us from the rational mechanism of capitalist exploitation. Joy does not have fixed rules to catalogue it. Even so, we must be able to desire joy. Otherwise we would be lost.

The search for joy is therefore an act of will, a firm refusal of the fixed conditions of capital and its values. The first of these refusals is that of work as a value. The search for joy can only come about through the search for play.

— Alfredo M. Bonanno, Armed Joy (VI)

The reign of death, i.e. the reign of capital, which denies our very existence as human beings and reduces us to ‘things’, seems very serious, methodical and disciplined. But its possessive paroxysm, its ethical rigour, its obsession with ‘doing’ all hide a great illusion: the total emptiness of the commodity spectacle, the uselessness of indefinite accumulation and the absurdity of exploitation. So the great seriousness of the world of work and productivity hides a total lack of seriousness.

Make It So Friday

This is a sort of sequel to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (my definite favourite of the Star Trek movies, it’s ‘the one with the whales’ heh…).

The probe (hence the title ;) ) that nearly destroyed Earth in the movie is back, and, it’s making its way towards the Romulan Empire. Meanwhile, the Romulans and Federation are actually trying to hammer out some sort of peace between their peoples, and, this probe definitely throws a wrench into that. Can Kirk, Spock, etc. save the universe…. again?

In addition to being a good read, this novel has quite the story behind it. Having been first written by Margaret Wander Bonanno, but, then, re-written by Gene DeWeese apparently. I haven’t read “Music of the Spheres”, the book that apparently Bonanno wanted to publish but was changed. (The PDF is a little hard to find), but, it might be interesting to see what was changed and what wasn’t. On the whole, to me, it seemed like a book from the same time period (this book was published around the same time that The Next Generation numbered books were being published). A fun read and continuation of an amazing movie.
