Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar

Recently I’ve received some asks about events/weeks in the Tolkien fandom, so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I know about. This is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organizers of these events!

Other blogs you can check out are @tolkieneventsblog and @tolkienfandomevents, though I’m not sure how active those are. The @silmarillionwritersguild Discord also has a channel dedicated to signal boosts for all sorts of Tolkien-related & general fandom happenings, which is another excellent way to keep up with fandom goings-on.

Want to run your own event? Here’s some of my tips!

If your event is not on here and you’d like it to be, let me know and I can add it :) Note: I will only add events that have announced dates!

We've got a fantastic month of holidays and activities that DON'T revolve around Valentine's that can help educate, uplift and empower your little ones like never before! Read until the end for an exclusive discount code!

Monday (Feb 5): National Weatherperson's Day

Honoring one of America's very first weather observers, today recognizes the men and women who provide us to up-to-date weather conditions that help us navigate our daily lives. Take the day to make a weather chart together and put on your own weather broadcast for family and friends.

Wednesday (Feb 7): Bubble Bath Day

Although nationally recognized in January, there's never a bad time for a bubble bath. A fun and exciting way for kids to get clean and a relaxing moment of self-reflecting for adults. While we would NEVER ask you to give up mommy's alone time soaking in your tub, consider filling a kiddie pool with suds and teach your little ones the fun and refreshing properties of a well-timed bubble bath.

Thursday (Feb 8): Kite Flying Day

Believed made to send messages in 470 B.C.E. China, today flying kites is both causal outdoor fun and a lifelong hobby for enthusiasts. Think of how fun it will be to create your own unique kites with your kids to fly at your local park or beach for a day unplugged from tablets and phones, except to capture those moments together!

Wednesday (Feb 13): Galentine's Day

Inspired by one Leslie Knope from the popular 2000s show Parks and Recreation, today is a day just for the girls and the power of female friendship. A perfect day to gather your mom-friends and their little ones for an appreciation brunch and together time outside of February's typical romantic celebrations.

Saturday (Feb 17): Random Acts of Kindness Day

While every day is a good day to be kind, today is dedicated to it.  Initiated in 1995, it celebrates how even the smallest random acts of kindness can make a world of difference. Its an excellent opportunity to teach empathy in young children with activities like writing nice messages for neighbors and handing them out, volunteering, or donating to a local cause.

Tuesday (Feb 22): Be Humble Day

Similar to teaching acts of kindness, teaching moments of humility can be equally as important to a young and impressionable mind. But what does it mean to be humble? Take the day to discuss ways to things like, being graceful weather you win or lose, are picked first or last, with praise or punishment, and how to be mindful without others taking notice. 

Saturday (Feb 26): Tell a Fairy Tale Day

There's nothing more captivating when we are young than a well-told fairy tale! A great way to pass down traditions, powerful lessons, and promote creativity. Spend the day flexing that imagination to come up with your very own fairy tale, then gather around in the evening to hear those stories told. Not only will it help the expression and storytelling, but confidence in public speaking to boot!

Don't forget to add viral-worthy matching Mommy & Me outfits to your February holiday celebrations. Tops, dresses, jumpsuits, swimwear, and, of course holiday looks are just a click away with an extra 15% off our Mommy & Me Spring/Summer Clothing collection using code MommyFebruary15 valid until February 29th.

Endowed with excellent surgical technique, Black Jack always miraculously saves seriously ill patients and those on the verge of death. But he always claims an outrageous price for his surgery, which is why his presence is rejected in medical circles.Black Jack lives quietly in a clinic out in the deserted wilderness with his assistant, Pinoko, whose life he had saved. Patients whom other doctors have given up on come to see him every today; he represents their very last hope. With ChatGPT-4 at the helm, Black Jack's adventures take on a whole new dimension. You'll be immersed in captivating dialogues, thought-provoking exchanges, and witty banter that will make you feel like an active participant in the unfolding drama.

Babygate Analysis/Conclusions: A Non-Larry Perspective

(Image Credit: Hollywood Life)

I'm prefacing this post with a few disclaimers:

After some consideration, I chose to write this without factoring in Larry whatsoever. No Larry-related points, proof, or speculation in any way. This is solely analyzing babygate from an unbiased perspective. 

I don't claim to know the entire truth. It is impossible for any of us to know.  What I conclude is based on direct evidence, circumstantial evidence, research, and analysis.

I am willing to discuss opposing views. I’m happy to talk about the topic in a civil, kind, and mature matter. I will dismiss any discourse that is aggressive, immature, and so on.

I did not include every single opinion/conclusion/piece of evidence I found. I condensed my thoughts as much as possible (and this is still a novel-length post). There are so many more points I can think of. However, babygate masterposts cover all of that; I’ll link to some of those at the end.

The conclusion points aren't in a very specific order. I aimed to list related points one after another. Aside from that, it's not in order of "hardest to weakest" evidence.

Please read “Author’s Notes” for additional clarity/input. They interject thoughts/etc. that I feel are necessary to include. 

Lastly, I included links to every source I cited in this post. However, I did not tag the Tumblr users. I’m not sure if they are comfortable with having Babygate questions/comments directed to their blogs. If you are a linked source and want to be tagged, please let me know! 

My Initial Reaction To Babygate

In February of 2020, I received several messages on LateToLarry requesting that I analyze something called “babygate”. I had no idea what babygate meant at the time. 

I learned what it meant, and prior to any research I felt the theory was so absurd. I also felt uncomfortable analyzing it because I believed I’d feel bias as a single mom. The idea of discussing a random child in depth initially bothered me, too. I declined to analyze it last year.

However, I did a LOT of research over time. My opinion has changed significantly. Below, I’ve shared my main conclusions and analysis about babygate. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy my post! 

1. No Paternity Test Was Performed Prior To The Pregnancy Announcement

Louis was/is a prominent celebrity and has a current net worth of $70 million. From legal, financial, and practical standpoints, it makes no sense for him to choose not to get a test. 

It’s unheard of in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Any sensible team -lawyers, PR reps, managers, advisors, etc. - would not just go along with it. They are employed to protect his career and image. 

The Opposing Views

A. “Briana/Louis didn’t want to risk miscarriage with prenatal testing.”

Non-invasive testing is completely safe for fetuses and pregnant women, so there’s no medical reason for the lack of testing.

B. “Louis chose not to get the test done because he wanted to be a father and was invested in the pregnancy/parenting.”

Time has shown that this is not true. Louis does not have custody; there was a brief custody case in 2016 that led nowhere. He does not have a consistent or prominent role in the child’s life.

Conclusion

There is no logical reason for the lack of paternity testing prior to the announcement unless Louis knew he was not the father and all parties knew this to be true.

2. There Was No Confirmation Of A Paternity Test After The Birth

I’ll keep this section fairly short. A quick Google search returns dozens of conflicting reports. Many of them state that Louis demanded a paternity test shortly after birth. Other reports state that he has never pursued a paternity test. 

Here are a few examples:

“Louis Tomlinson not interested in paternity test” - Business Standard

“EXCLUSIVE: Louis Tomlinson Demanded a DNA Test “As Soon as the Baby Was Born”” - InTouch Weekly

“Louis Tomlinson: No DNA Test Needed ... Positive Freddie's His Son” -TMZ

“Louis Tomlinson & Briana Jungwirth: WhyHe Had DNA Test Done on His Newborn Son” - Hollywood Life

This Twitter thread discusses TMZ reports that - as of 2020 - no DNA test was done.

Conclusion

There is no reliable confirmation that Louis pursued a paternity test. The media cannot come to a general/factual consensus.

Again, there is no reasonable explanation for the lack of paternity testing unless Louis knows he is not the father of the child. 

3. The Conception-To-Birth Timeline Is Inconsistent/Unreliable

Pregnancy and conception as a whole can be rather confusing; timelines from conception to birth are unique to each person. Having said that, Briana’s timeline is full of glaring inconsistencies that don’t add up. 

I’ll begin with this timeline based on bulletprooflarry’s post and my own research. Dates I’ve added myself include linked sources:

May 5th, 2015 - Louis and Briana were first seen together in public.

May 6th to May 31st, 2015 - Briana and her mom followed baby-related social medial accounts.

May 12th, 2015 - Louis and Briana were pictured together in public.

July 3rd, 2015 - Louis is seen with Briana’s brother in Hollywood.

July 14th, 2015 - The first pregnancy report is published.

August 4th, 2015 - Louis confirms pregnancy on GMA.

January 21st, 2016 - The child is reportedly born.

Based on the dates above, these are the possible dates/milestones for her pregnancy:

Scenario A - If conception occurred on May 5th, Briana was 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant on January 21st, 2016. This is considered an early-term birth and about 26% of births occur at 37 weeks.

Scenario B - If conception occurred on May 12th, Briana was 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant on January 21st. This is considered a late-term or late premature birth and about 10% of births occur at 36 weeks.

These dates matter because Briana’s alleged hospital stay was not consistent with a premature or early-term birth. She was pictured in public - healthy and holding a baby carrier - within one week of giving birth. 

(Image Credit: Daily Mail)

(Image Credit: larrysbbrbb28)

If she gave birth based on the dates above, it’s extremely unlikely that she or the baby would be out in public so soon.

Below are screenshots of an additional timeline from an archived Tumblr post. It provides excellent points about more timeline inconsistencies: 

The main inconsistencies and red flags are bolded in the post. It supports the unreliable conception timeline, and it also mentions my next point - the official pregnancy announcement. 

The post above mentions that the Jungwirth family followed baby-related accounts before Briana could possibly know she was pregnant. Here’s one screenshot from skepticallarrie proving it:

I’ve also seen several posts that show inconsistencies with the size of Briana’s baby bump. Unfortunately, the most reliable post no longer exists. You can view a web archive of Briana’s pregnancy photos, but most of the image links are broke. 

The only post I have saved is a web archive of a long babygate post. The beginning of the post contains photos showing discrepancies in the size of Briana’s baby bump. 

The Opposing Views

“Pregnancy looks different on everybody, everyone recovers differently, etc.”

Yes, this is true and a valid point! As a woman who has gone through multiple pregnancies and two live births, I truly understand this argument. 

However, the sheer amount of inconsistencies are what make this a red flag. There are too many unreliable and contradicting points to brush this off. It goes beyond the point of “well, each person has a different experience”.

Conclusion

There are a few conclusions/scenarios I believe you can draw from the information above:

Briana was pregnant prior to meeting Louis.

Briana was never pregnant in the first place. 

Both are valid to consider, but I personally believe she was never pregnant. 

(Author’s note: My calculation for dates are based on the date of alleged conception. Most due date calculators, by default, use the date of a woman’s last mentrual period - LMP - to provide estimations.

I also used Date Duration Calendar for my calculations. Accessible due date calculators only allowed me to input dates from 2019/2020. Depending on the tools and dates you use, your mileage may vary.)

4. The Announcement Itself Was Highly Unusual

This point ties into the first and third points. I don’t consider it a major piece of evidence, but it’s noteworthy due to the other points. 

So, there are a few reasons why the Good Morning America announcement stands out. 

A. If Briana got pregnant on May 5th, then she was approximately 10 weeks pregnant when the first pregnancy report was published. This also means she was approximately 13 weeks pregnant at the time of the GMA announcement.

If Briana got pregnant on May 12th, she was approximately nine weeks pregnant at the time of the first report and approximately 12 weeks pregnant at the time of the GMA announcement.

B. The public announcement on Good Morning America raises a lot of questions. I’ve had multiple issues embedding the video; the bolded link takes you to the GMA announcement on YouTube. 

Anyways, these questions/thoughts - disregarding any Larry theories -  come to mind when watching the video: 

This is a segment for promoting/discussing their album/music.

The baby announcement is the sole non-album/music related topic that is mentioned during the segment.

The announcement is not organically worked into the segment as a natural talking point.

Louis’ reactions - such as bringing the microphone to his lips and not talking - is very unlike his standard interview demeanor.

The male interviewer and the band members have noticeable facial expressions and body language that suggest discomfort, stress, or awkwardness. 

A post by skepticalarrie draws similar conclusions. Her post is much more detailed than mine, and I highly recommend reading/viewing it. 

(Author’s Note: I’ve touched upon this on LateToLarry and will make a post here eventually, but body language and facial expressions are valid. They’re valid to the point that they are used in court cases.) 

Conclusion

My conclusions here are twofold. One is that: 

Announcing a pregnancy - especially a celebrity-related pregnancy - this early is extremely uncommon and unlikely.

The announcement itself seems out of place and very forced. 

This particular point, to me, is not extremely strong evidence. I still think it’s worth keeping in mind and is relevant to other points here. So, I’ve included it either way.

5. Briana Posted Stolen Pregnancy/Baby Photos On Social Media

(EDIT: I wrote this piece before the recent release of Briana’s alleged ultrasound and don’t have time to add it. It’s pretty strong proof and can easily be found in recent babygate posts.)

Babygate posts often point out that Briana and the Jungwirth family used stolen/fake pregnancy and baby photos on social media. It’s a well-known topic that’s often discussed. 

I’m condensing this section to a few examples. I encourage additional research if you’d like to see more. 

A. This Tumblr post shows stolen baby bump photos that Briana’s cousin Ashley posted on Twitter: 

B. This Tumblr post and Twitter post show a stolen baby photo that Briana posted on Instagram:

(Author’s Note: Since I was not active in the fandom at the time, I am relying on information from other blogs and social media posts. I vetted my sources pretty well, but any false information is my own mistake.)

Conclusions

The only word that sums this up is “suspicious”. Using stolen photos of a pregnant woman/baby is not necessary if you are legitimately pregnant. That’s really what it boils down to. It lends to the conclusion that Briana was never pregnant. 

6. Photos And Videos Of The Child Are Heavily Altered And Manipulated

It is indisputable that many photos and videos of the child are heavily manipulated to alter his appearance. This goes beyond filters, lighting, and angles. 

Several detailed posts show the manipulations; here are some examples:

A web archive of all Photoshop evidence from tellmethisisnotlove

An in-depth post from genuineconspiracy that includes detailed photo evidence.

A video post from freefreddiereign that shows Photoshop evidence based on photos the child. 

There is no doubt that his facial features are frequently altered. This is easy to conclude using any free software that detects Photoshop. As a photographer myself, I can easily spot the manipulations.

(Author’s Note: I know that directly discussing the child is controversial. When I first heard of babygate, my initial reaction was discomfort about analyzing a child.

I quickly learned/concluded that his family members are responsible for heavily putting him in the public eye. All content I’ve used for research is based on the family’s posts.

Still, I have personally chosen not post pictures of the child, but the links I am sharing contain photos/videos of him.

Additionally, I used FotoForensics on photos of myself prior to writing this. It was important to me to feel absolutely certain about this point. I’m fine with sharing my own FotoForensics images if anyone is curious.)

The Opposing Views

A. “Freddie looks like Louis in pictures that aren’t Photoshopped.”

Parentage cannot be based on whether or not a child looks like his mother/father. I understand the viewpoint, but it’s simply not evidence. Additionally, thinking the child looks like Louis is a matter of opinion. 

There’s also the fact that appearance means nothing overall. Science backs up this statement very well. Examples and references:

“How can children from the same parents look so different?” by HowStuffWorks

“My Baby Looks Nothing Like Me: A Genetic Explanation” by FamilyEducation

Additionally, here is a personal anecdote. I have two sons close to Freddie’s age. One of them looks exactly like his father and nothing like me. The other looks exactly like me and nothing like his father. Despite how they look, they are both of them are our biological children. 

Conclusion

There is no reasonable explanation for altering the child’s appearance - particularly to make him look more similar to Louis. 

I cannot think of a single argument as to why the Jungwirth family would do this unless they need/want the child to look a specific way. 

7. Johannah Deakin’s Official Obituary Does Not Mention The Child

When looking into babygate, I read the argument that the child is legitimately Louis’ son because he is listed as her grandchild in Internet-based obituaries and announcements. 

I also read the counter-argument that Louis’ mother’s official newspaper/print obituary does not mention the child.  I recall seeing proof, but I did not save it at the time. I did some research and this appears to be true. 

The Doncaster Free Press is a local weekly newspaper in Doncaster, and it published an article about the funeral. The article is NOT an obituary itself, but it does list her obituary details. The publication does not list the child among the surviving family members. 

If a mistake is made regarding these details, it’s typical for newspapers to post a correction addressing a misprint. Upon further research, the Doncaster Free Press did not issue a correction at any time. 

(Author’s Note: I lost my own mother and am personally familiar with how local obituaries are written. Immediate family members - i.e. spouses and adult children - provide information regarding surviving family members.) 

Conclusion

The conclusion here is straightforward. Louis and his family chose not to include the child in his mother’s official obituary. This strongly suggests that he is not legitimately related to Louis. 

My Opinion-Based Conclusions

Update: After some consideration, I am saving my opinion-based conclusions for a separate post. I originally intended to include them here; transparency is important to me.

Unfortunately, the section became rather long and took away from the main post points. So, I’ll be working on a post that’s just my opinion-based conclusions. In the meantime, feel free to message me with any questions. 

Final Thoughts

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read my post! I appreciate the interest expressed for it, and I hope it lives up to expectations. 

Again, I want to reiterate this is:

Not an all-inclusive post; I narrowed down my findings to seven points.

Not a masterpost on babygate.

Purposely omitting any potential Larry-related points to remove bias. 

I’ve reread this quite a few times, and it’s as error-free as possible. If you spot any mistakes/errors, I’m completely open to making corrections. Just kindly let me know. 

This list contains references/research about babygate that I consider the most reliable. It includes Larry and non-Larry related Babygate content.

Lastly, if there’s interest in an opinion-related post or Larry-related post, I’ll consider writing them. Feel free to let me know as you all did with this post. 

Thanks!

Spitballing a pseudo-format idea: Digits Magic

Pic is an excel sheet where every standard Magic set released since 2000 is arranged based on the last digit of the year it was released. For example, all sets released in the years 2000, 2010, and 2020 are grouped together.

How it works:

What year is it? 2021. So this year we’re building decks from standard sets released in years that end in 1. As the year progresses and sets are released, they enter into the format just like they enter into normal standard. So currently the format includes the following sets: Magic 2012, Planeshift, Apocalypse, Odyssey, Mirrodin Besieged, New Phyrexia, Innistrad, and Kaldheim. When released, the following sets will be added: Strixhaven, the D&D set, and both new Innistrad sets.

When the first released standard set of 2022 rolls around, we rotate to the next column and decks can only use cards from sets released in years ending in 2.

The main way of playing would be 60 card constructed decks with no more than four copies of a card except basic lands.

Bans would be any card banned during its time in standard.

Why pseudo-format?

I think of this more like 10 mini-formats or even sort of like the Planechase deck in that you could do other formats with this tacked on top as an additional guideline. Commander/Brawl Digits 4. Chaos Draft Digits 7. Peasant or Pauper Digits 8. You get the idea. Heck, you could even do like a Legacy Digits 2 or something, using all products released for those years, not just standard sets.

Why not go back to Alpha?

Two reasons. First, we don’t want super broken stuff like the Power Nine involved here. It would automatically break Digital 3. Second, we don’t want to deal with stuff on the Reserved List.

Goals:

Rediscover old cards (or discover them for the first time if you weren’t around when those sets first dropped)

Re-contextualize these cards in a new format

Enjoy an extended format that regularly changes

Issues:

The biggest one I see is the intent of the whole format rotating every year. Build up and tune a deck over the course of a year and then come the first release of the next year (usually in February in the past) it’s all done for and you have to start from step 0. Theoretically that same deck is completely legal again in a decade, but that’s kind of absurd.

The second big one I think is how the “Magic year” doesn’t fall in line with the calendar year. Which means a set like Zendikar (2009) gets cut off from the rest of that block (2010), which is going to undercut some mechanical themes. Landfall is nonlinear and non-parasitic so that one will still shine, but I suspect the Ally creature type won’t fare so well.

Much more minor, but it displeases me that the way core sets fall in the year prior to what’s in their name means they’ll always kind of look out of place.

Thoughts and ideas?

FTH 2020 -- all the details

Look, shit is pretty bad right now. We appear to be in the early stages of a major global war. Large parts of the world are literally on fire. Antisemitism and anti-blackness are on the rise throughout the US, and both LGBTQ+ rights and women's rights are under increasingly dire threat, at both national and local levels. It’s a crappy way to start a decade.

If you’re like us, you’re feeling torn between wanting to retreat into fandom and wishing you could do something to help fix at least a little bit of everything that’s going wrong.

The good news is: you can do both at the same time. Fandom Trumps Hate is back for a fourth (fourth!) year, raising money for a host of excellent organizations that are resisting the Trump agenda and fighting to protect those whom it seeks to harm. We’re hoping you’ll be back to join us, and help make this the biggest and most successful auction yet.

This post has (almost*) everything you need to know -- a full calendar, plus links to all of the important information about this year’s auction all in one convenient, easily-rebloggable post! Please help us spread the word to friends and followers.

In case anyone missed the announcement: 

We are moving the P4A dates from December to February.

For the past 13 years, P4A has taken place at the end of the calendar year, and while it’s been a lot of fun to coincide with the holiday giving spirit, December is an extremely busy time for all of us. Not just for the P4A team and our DFTBA warehouse, but the creators and volunteers we work with as well. We've heard it's also a hectic time for everyone who submits videos, donates, and watches! After careful consideration, we’ve decided to move Project for Awesome to a different time of the year, President’s Day weekend, which will be February 12-14th, 2021. While this means there won’t be a P4A in 2020, we're excited about having more time during a calmer month to create an excellent event. If you have any questions or concerns about the date change, please email us at info@projectforawesome.com. Thank you to all our donors, volunteers, and everyone else who supports us!

Happy Lunar New Year

For my first blog post, I will be talking about the Chinese Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year, also known as Spring Festival is a festival often celebrated in China and other Asian countries, in celebration of the first new moon of the lunar calendar. Even though it is hard to figure out what exact date the festivals started, the Chinese new year started in 14th century BCE. Every year the date of the beginning of the Lunar New Year changes, this year it was celebrated on Friday, February 12. The festival lasts 15 days and ends on the lunar calendar’s first full moon. Every Lunar New Year comes with traditional family celebrations, dances, and fireworks. At the end of the new year celebrations comes the Lantern Festival. During this last night, lanterns are used to light up the night sky. Traditional foods like fish, sticky rice balls, and noodles are served at dinner so families can come together and celebrate.

Origin of the Zodiac Animals

Every Lunar New Year is connected to a Zodiac animal. Each animal represents unique attributes and themes for that year. This year is the year of the Ox, the theme of hard work and progress. For centuries, the Ox has been used for man to build and grow a better life. Every year the zodiac animal changes and has a whole different meaning. In the Chinese culture, a person’s Chinese zodiac sign is matched to the year they were born, for example, I was born in the year 2001 meaning my zodiac animal is a snake. Even if this year’s animal is not my sign, I can still view this year of the Ox is a time to reflect and learn until my year comes. In the American culture, we use zodiac animals in connection to our birthday days instead of birth years. That’s the cool thing about cultures, we may have differences but we have similarities as well.

Origin of my Dish

In honor of the new year, I decided to learn and cook Chinese Lo Mein noodles. The Chinese believe that every meal needs equal amounts of grains and Tsai (fruits and vegetables). Noodles are an excellent dish for this perfect balance. Even though noodles are used in Chinese dishes year-round, during the Lunar New Year and other celebrations, having noodles is a dinner must-have because of its symbolic meaning. In Chinese culture, noodles are a symbol of longevity and having a longer life. In my cross-cultural course, I have learned more about the importance of cultural differences and the traditions that make them different. Making this dish, I learned that in the Chinese culture, they do not cut noodles because in their culture noodles are meant to be slurped when eating. During this experience when eating with my family, I made sure to tell them this information, so when eating the dish I made sure we ate following this cultural practice.

Overall Reflection

Making the dish of the Lo Mein noodles was a success and I enjoyed learning the origin behind the dish and connecting it to information found in my class. I have had Lo Mein noodles before, but getting all the ingredients and fixing this dish myself brought me a closer experience and deeper insight into the Chinese culture that I do not usually get. I am excited to see what cultural dish I describe to make next! Stay tuned for more.

Transiting Mercury enters Retrograde Zone

I had been unsure of how to write about the latest Mercury retrograde, and eventually decided on a “mark your calendars” type of post. (With a couple of brief definitions when appropriate!) I’ll write more extensively about each of these steps in the process as they occur, via the daily astrology forecast.

An excellent resource for understanding Mercury-Sun cycles can be found at this link.

Sunday, February 2, 08:42 UT - Mercury enters retrograde zone, 28:13 Aquarius

A planet entering its Rx zone, simply means that it has reached and passed the degree of the Zodiac which it will eventually retrograde back to. This is the beginning, in other words!

Monday, February 3, 11:37 UT - Mercury enters Pisces

Monday, February 10, 14:00 UT - Mercury’s greatest eastern elongation, 8:58 Pisces

This is a point in the Mercury-Sun cycle that is equivalent to the Last Quarter lunar phase - when we “turn away from” patterns that aren’t working for us any more. Mercury is now as far ahead of the Sun, in the Zodiac, as it’s going to get, this time.

Thursday, February 13 - Mercury enters “Storm”

This is best explained by the source, namely my Llewellyn’s 2020 Daily Planetary Guide: “Mercury enters its Storm (moving less than 40 minutes of arc per day)...as it slows down before going retrograde. The Storm acts like the retrograde. Not favorable for new projects - just follow through with the items that are already on your plate. Write down new ideas with date and time they occurred.” This is a long Storm, too: we won’t be out of it until March 20!

Monday, February 17, 00:54 UT - Mercury stations retrograde, 12:53 Pisces

Wednesday, February 26, 01:45 UT - Mercury-Sun inferior conjunction, 6:55 Pisces

The inferior conjunction occurs when Mercury is both retrograde and conjunct the Sun. This is a bit like a New Moon - we get the “seed” of an idea to germinate.

Wednesday, March 4, 11:08 UT - Mercury Rx back into Aquarius

Tuesday, March 10, 03:49 UT - Mercury stations direct, 28:13 Aquarius

Not out of the woods yet, though!

Monday, March 16, 07:42 UT - Mercury back into Pisces

Friday, March 20 - Mercury exits “storm”

Advises Llewellyn: “Look over your notes on any ideas that occurred to you while Mercury was retrograde or slow. How do they look now?” I can’t decide if they mean that sardonically or unironically.

Tuesday, March 24, 02:00 UT - Mercury’s greatest western elongation, 6:08 Pisces

Similar to the First Quarter Moon in “feel,” the greatest western elongation occurs when Mercury is as far behind the Sun, in the Zodiac, as it’s going to get, this go-’round.

Monday, March 30, 02:32 UT - Mercury exits retrograde zone, 12:53 Pisces

Finally, Mercury leaves the narrow area where it’s been focused for the past couple of months. New territory now!

*you all get impromptu airport selfies because I didn’t have time to make anything nice !*

LET’S DO THIS THING SPRING SEMESTER 2020 !!!

Word of this semester is discipline! Time to get life in order! Lots of fun things happening this semester - I’ll be at the Kennedy Center Region 8 Festival in Los Angeles in February for a ten minute play I wrote (still surreal to me, namely because I’m not a theatre major hehehe). I’m gonna need all the good vibes! Still not sure what we’re doing for an honors contract but that’s okay! We’re down to three plays - Love’s Labour’s Lost, Romeo and Juliet, or As You Like It.

This break was busy - got my first job! (That took up most of my time). Started to doing research for a little side project that I’m interested in learning more about. Saw my wonderful friends, took many aesthetic looking pictures, just had a fun time! Last night I finished listening to/watching Thomas Adès’s The Tempest - more on that later (spoiler: I loved it). Still trying to get through Madama Butterfly...

It snowed this morning! First time I’ve seen snow for a few years, so that was fun!

Anyway, I hope y’all have an excellent start to the semester, calendar year, all of it! Thanks for riding on this crazy train with me. Love you all!

On y va!

Black Plague Returns to San Francisco

1900 — The Chinese Year of the Rat. The Dragon visits San Francisco and brings the Black Plague to San Francisco.

1960 — The Year of the Rat again but the Dragon fails to visit San Francisco.

2020 — The second cycle of 60 years. The Chinese Year of the rat. The Dragon visits San Francisco again and brings COVID-19 virus to revive the Black Plague that lies inactive beneath San Francisco.

History repeats itself for those that do not thoroughly understand the cycles of time. All ancient cultures, B.C., developed their calendars based on the 360 degrees of the circle. The Black African Egyptians, The Chinese and the Indians from the sub continent of India used calendars based on the rotation of the Moon around the Earth. However, the Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle but more of an ellipse. Through observation, the Black African Egyptians developed the solar calendar with 3651 days to replace the Moon calendar known as the Metonic calendar. The Black African Egyptians adopted the solar calendar of 365k days in approximately 4126B.C.

Nostradamus predicted the events of 911 in Quatran 10:72, (see Geoff Stray Beyond 2012 page 265.) Stray shows that the Quatran states that the event, 911, would happen in the 7th month. Geoff Stray fails to distinguish between the solar calendar which has the 7th month in July and the Metonic calendar that has the 7th month in August or September. TheMetonic calendar begins its new year the second new moon after the previous Winter Solstice. Winter Solstice is December 21st-23rd. Therefore, the new year for the Metonic calendar is either January or February and the 7th month would be August or September. What causes the fluctuation in months for the Metonic calendar is their practice of intercalation, adding a month every 12 years to adjust the calendar to keep up with the procession of the Equinoxes. Nostradamus was being esoteric because in the 16th century practicing alchemy was considered witch craft and his safety was at stake. So Nostradamus used the Metonic calendar instead of the solar calendar for his predictions. He was correct to the date and day for 911. It happened September 11th 2001.

2020 is the Chinese Year of the Rat. The Metonic calendar has 12 zodiacal signs the same as the western solar calendar. 12 houses in one revolution of the Earth. However, the Metonic calendar repeats the same way that the western calendar does but on a 60 year cycle, 1900, 1960, 2020 all Years of the Rat. Its a different method of accounting for the revolution of the Earth around the Sun. Its just that the Metonic calendar is based on the revolution of the Moon about the Earth but remember its the Sun that the Moon is reflecting. Its the same source of light for our solar system its just that the ancients used the circle 360 degrees as a calendar base as opposed to the later discovery and implementation of the 365 1/4 actual number of days for the Earth to rotate about the Sun. Intercalation is the Metonic followers method for adjusting the Metonic calendar to coincide with the processions of the Equinoxes. There is an intercalation made every 12 years. There are three books that establish the relationship between 2020 the Chinese Year of the Rat, the Bubonic Plague of 1900 and the current pandemic of COVID-19 that arrived in San Francisco in February-March 2020 the Year of the Rat. The Dragon returns with a virus that can revive the Black Plague in San Francisco if the health officials are not prepared, vigilant and careful.

1. The most recent book: Black Death at the Golden Gate, David Randall published December 2019( coincidence??)

2. The Coming Plague, Constance Garrett, 1994 & 1999

3. Aids The End of Civilization, Dr. William Campbell Douglass MD (1920–2015).

A word about the authors. David Randall with the latest book does and excellent job in his narrative discussing the historical and sociological as well as medical problems that occurred during the outbreak of Plague in San Francisco in 1900–1903. He reveals what it took to arrest the Plague. Constance Garrett writes about the newest viruses that have come along in the late 20th century. Ebola, Marburg virus and the others and how the are communicated and vectored.

I don’t believe that Garrett covered the San Francisco plague. Due to COVID-19 I am unable to verify that statement. No library is open, I did not purchase her work nor is one available in the book stores. I will not comment other than her information was very well researched. Dr. William Campbell Douglass MD. (1920–2015) deals with the history of plague down through the ages and gives the reader a concise picture of the role that plagues and pestilence have played in world history. He establishes the symbiotic relationship between the rat, the flea(cheopis), and the bacillus that the flea carries that causes plague when the flea bites its victim. In certain cases if the rat dies or is killed and the symbiotic host is unavailable the flea relies on its astounding abilities to find another host usually a mammal including human beings. The flea can leap 10 to 20 feet and climb a vertical surface. Dr. Douglass avoids nonsense and speaks directly to the issue of the rat, flea, bacillus trinity as potentially being able to cause unparalleled death and devastation once a plague is initiated. The Plague is second only to botulism. Dr. Douglass MD is of the highest intelligence and wastes no words in warning that there is a very definite probability that the Plague can return to San Francisco under specific circumstances. Whats is of the utmost importance is what motivated Dr. Douglass MD. to write his book, AIDS the end of Civilization in the first place.

Dr. Douglass MD. wrote his book at the time of the AIDS epidemic and he obviously saw the probability that if the public health system of San Francisco became overloaded with AIDS cases and the sanitation barrier that separates the fragile health system from epidemic disease that the rat would return to the streets of San Francisco from its underground retreat and wreak havoc on the population. The critical factor is the strength and resilience of the health system. If overloaded and breached then the rats will return.

Fortunately that breach did not occur. However, currently there is a triple threat to the sanitation barrier in San Francisco. The first is the pandemic of COVID-19 virus, the second is the number of AIDS patients known or unknown that have compromised immune systems and then there is the rat with the flea that carries the plague beneath the City.

I don’t even mention the elderly and those with respiratory diseases that currently live in San Francisco. Will history repeat itself and to what extent if it does will the plague return to San Francisco.

At the end of the first chapter pages 45 & 46 Dr. Douglass fictionalizes a true story. Its a story that tells of a man named Tony Neel, a science student or laboratory worker at Stanford University. Tony Neel studies Xeenopsylla Cheopis the oriental rat flea that rides the rat and carries the plague. Tony Neel is amazed at the fleas ability to move about physically. The flea is a member of the Siphonaptera family, meaning a wingless siphon. The flea can bite and siphon its on weight in blood in very few minutes. The flea siphons the blood and injects the bacillus. Tony Neel was tasked to locate the fleas that caused the Black Plague of 1900–1903. He indeed found them under San Francisco and as far south as Palo Alto. Same breed of rats, same fleas and same bacillus that were around in 1900 the Chinese Year of the rat when plague arrived in San Francisco. Neels task and investigation occurred in the 1980s in connection with the AIDS epidemic. Neel realized then that a breakdown of the sanitation system would cause the rat to return to the city streets with the plague vermin. Fortunately that did not happen in the 1980s. But now there is an additional problem, the COVID-19 virus. Now let us deal with the COVID-19 virus that is invading the City. The virus like all phenomenon always seeks the line of least resistance. That is the law of Nature.

COVID-19 virus is contracted through the respiratory system, the lungs. The genius of Dr. Douglass MD. is that he realized that any threat to the respiratory system could break down the health system, destroy the health safety net and sanitation barrier bringing the rat with the flea and the plague back to the City streets which would allow the fleas to spread the plague immediately. Who in the population are those on the line of least resistance. The old, infirm and seniors and a large section of the San Francisco population conscious or unconscious that they have AIDS . They have compromised immune systems and would be a target for COVID-19 virus. Hypothetically, the hospitals are overloaded and the health safety net frays and breaks and unsanitary conditions on the street increase exponentially. Who would be the first victims that the rats would seek to spread the plague, the homeless. I lived 20 years in New York City and its against the law to sleep on the city streets between 10:00PM and 6:00AM. I have witnessed rats attack people in New York after dark if people contest the rats territory, garbage cans allies etc. Rats are rats and San Francisco is no exception. So we have an entry point for the plague due to the COVID-19 virus, the overloaded health system and the homeless sleeping on the city streets.

There would be a sudden upsurge in pulmonary disease from COVID-19 which would mask the pneumonic form of plague. DR. Campbell Douglass MD is very experienced and he has found that younger, more inexperienced physicians misdiagnosis pneumonic plague for pneumonia, a common mistake.

Its just according to Dr. Douglass MD that victims of pneumonic plague die almost immediately if not treated with the antibiotics streptomycin or chloromyacin. David Randall, author of Black Death at the Golden Gate does a excellent job of showing that the autopsy method is the only way to definitively determine when the plague has run its course. But again you have at least 2 other diseases that would possibly mask the pneumonic plague.

They say 3 is a charm. The Black Plague beneath the streets of the City, the AIDS population and COVID-19 virus. I would not speculate on the mortality rate but the British modeled 2 million Americans from COVID-19. What would the plague add ? You must remember that the pneumonic plague is vectored by the infected person every time they exhale that accounts for the ferocity of a plague epidemic. I look at it mathematically according to the 10 steps of the logarithmic process of nature. Each 10 steps of the logarithm is an ascending level. From the 1st death to the 10th step represents 1032 deaths. The second logarithmic steps or level 2 start at 1032 and stops at about 1 million. Add an epidemic of pneumonic plague and we are talking about 40 to 50 million people dead very possibly. The biggest thing is where are the antibiotics streptomyacin and chloromyacin being stock piled. Without a stockpile you could not stop the pneumonic plague when every time a victim exhales the plague which is within their lungs would be vectored to anyone and everyone with in a very small radius.

How to stop it.

1. The weak link and most immediate problem are the homeless living on the streets of the City. I imagine that the rats are watching now. The homeless must be housed immediately and removed from the City streets, at once. No need in wasting money renting hotels. ALCATRAZ is the best place. If you don’t get them off the streets the homeless will be the first vectors of the pneumonic plague. PASS an ORDINANCE, sleeping on the City streets is prohibited between 10PM and 6:00AM. You have shelter in place now. Round up the homeless and take them to safety. They will have 24 hours to store everything that they want to keep and they can bring only what they can carry with their hands. Confiscate all unattended property at their sights and burn.

2. Sanitize the areas where they were living with live steam. the only method I know of to completely eliminate germs. I Del Monte foods back in the botulism days of the early 1970s. Steam does it not disinfectant but live steam at 212 degrees. Street, sidewalk, gutter everywhere. Above all don’t get kill crazy with the rats. the steam will cause them to retreat. If you kill the rats then you have the fleas leaping around trying to find another mammal to host it.

3. One of the biggest problems you might have is controlling the western citizens ‘unbridled individuality’. Its my freedom and I will live on the street if I damn well please. China conquered COVID-19 because they believe the individual is limited in his personal freedoms when the population’s safety might be compromised through allowing one person to exercise their freedom at the expense of the population under emergency conditions.

You will have to remand the homeless to Alcatraz until each one has a place to live off the city streets. Build a field hospital, chow hall, and bring all emergency services to Alcatraz needs during the shelter in pace order.

Get started.
