(Skip this one if you're not in that great of a place mentally🖤)

I wake, before the morning bell A day inside a concrete shell I misinterpret every sign A misdirection in a perfect world...

I've got a blade I've got a reason I've got a trick up my sleeve I've got a blade I've got a reason I've got a way out

And it's a painful thought And I have given all I've got But I don't feel a thing

Her eyes can turn me into sand Poured through the gaps between her hands I've found a reason to complain again Convince me it's a perfect world

And I've got a blade I've got a reason I've got a trick or two my dear I've got a blade I've got a reason I've got way out

And it's a painful thought And I have given all I've got And I know there's something wrong with me I don't I don't feel a thing

I don't feel a thing (x14) (It's a painful thought) (x3)

The list of the fastest and the highest known flights ever recorded by the Lockheed Blackbird family

Which member of the Blackbird family was the faster and which one reached the highest altitude?

The iconic SR-71 Blackbird spy plane is known for being the official record holder for the fastest jet-powered, piloted aircraft of all time.

The SR-71 was based on another Mach 3, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, the A-12 Oxcart.

Another Blackbird, the YF-12 high-altitude, Mach 3 interceptor was developed from the A-12 to defend against supersonic bombers. The YF-12 was never adopted by the military as an operational aircraft. The YF-12 too was, however, a precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane.

At this point, one might ask which member of the Blackbird family was the faster and which one reached the highest altitude.

How U.S. secretly tested the A-12 RCS during the Cuban Missile Crisis

A-12

Linda Sheffield Miller (Col Richard (Butch) Sheffield’s daughter, Col. Sheffield was an SR-71 Reconnaissance Systems Officer), who runs Habubrats Facebook page, may have some answers.

She explained to The Aviation Geek Club:

“The A-12, also known as Oxcart, altitude and speed are unofficial because the A-12 remained top-secret until 1982. Ken Collins, A-12 pilot and SR -71 pilot [who also flew with Col. Sheffield] has revealed an altitude of 94,000 feet!

“The maximum design cruise speed was Mach 3.2. The speed was limited by structural temperature restrictions.

NASA YF-12s

YF-12s

“The SR-71 flew faster than the rotation of the earth.”

She also listed the fastest known flights:

YF-12A (60-6936) – Mach 3.14 (2,070 mph), USAF, official, 1 May 1965

SR-71B (61-7956) – Mach 3.27 (2,158 mph), NASA, unofficial, 14 December 1995 and 4 March 1997

A-12 (60-6928) – Mach 3.29 (2,171 mph), CIA, unofficial, 8 May 1965

SR-71A (61-7972) – Mach 3.32 (2,193 mph), USAF, official, 27 July 1976.”

How high could the Blackbirds fly?

“The Blackbirds were designed to fly as high as 90,000 feet, but typically operated between 70,000 and 85,000 feet,” says Linda.

Highest known flights:

YF-12A (60-6936) – 80,257 feet, USAF, official, 1 May 1965

SR-71B (61-7956) – 84,700 feet, NASA, unofficial, 18 October 1994

SR-71A (61-7962) – 85,068 feet, USAF, official, 28 July 1976

SR-71A (61-7953) – 86,700 feet, USAF, unofficial, circa 1968

A-12 (60-6932) – 90,000 feet, CIA, unofficial, 14 August 1965

Actually the Blackbird’s incredible speed enabled it to gather intelligence in a matter of a few seconds while streaking across unfriendly skies. Thanks to these astonishing flight characteristics, the Blackbirds have set numerous speed and altitude records during their career.

HIIII from where is the mileapo vintage date from? The one where apo wears a white tank and cap and mile in a black shirt. I keep seeing clips but never a full video!!! And im dying bcos they’re giving me hongkong movie stars/ models vibe i loveeeee

hi! so according to Bee (@xzybkp on twitter) it was a vlog posted by a fan club, and now that fc deactivated. Bee posted clips and photos they had compiled 🥰

Because tumblr sucks I'm not going to post the videos since I'm too lazy to pull them from twitter and then re clip them into one video but you can see Bee's thread here.

This took place in July 2021, which for context was when Filmania's KPTS was officially cancelled (circa July 3) and they were working to gather sponsors and hustle to put together BOC

and also yes there are multiple vintage dates... at least three they posted enough videos/photos that we have a general sense of what they did that day (multiple outfits = probably not the same date).

also. feeling a little 🫠🫠🫠 over Apo's lesbian trucker look

[copperbadge]

Hi Sam, could you share the timeline for the Shivadverse please? Because the epilogues tend to be little time jump and the books overlap, and Twelve Points confused me a bit in regards to when it takes place, ngl. Like, Eddie went for the coronation, stayed, he and Greg dated for a year(?) and get engaged. Are still engaged when Jess and Noah arrive. Are married during Euro Vision, but engaged (?) when the song is written at the start. And Tiger happens somewhere too, but Alanna and Jerry haven't gotten married yet...

I would love the proper chain of events! How much time has it been since Eddie's arrival and the end of Twelve Points?

Oh sure! I have it all written out (more or less) so find below the cut.

You do kind of have to squint a little in places; they're cramming a lot into a short amount of time and I was deliberately vague with real dates because it makes it easier to sort of slide stuff in, and with the first three books I was shuffling events around a bit. Spring 2022 saw a lot of action and fall 2023 is looking to be the same. :D

To short-answer your question, between the start of Fete For A King (February-ish 2021, don't look too hard at that) and the end of Twelve Points (May 2022) it's been about fifteen months. If we count to the true end of Twelve Points in the epilogue (November-ish 2022) it's been a year and nine months. By the time we hit the end of the planned-out novels (Spring 2024) it will have been three years.

SPRING 2021

Events of Fete For A King (except epilogue): Eddie arrives to cater the coronation; Gregory and Eddie begin a relationship. Michaelis retires and Gregory is crowned king.

Pre-LATT: Jerry is diagnosed with ADHD.

SUMMER 2021

Pre-LATT: Jerry begins medication for ADHD at the start of Infinite Jes.

Events of Infinite Jes (except epilogue): Jes and Noah arrive. Jes and Michaelis begin a relationship in late summer.

FALL 2021

Prologue of Twelve Points: Noah begins school at the Maritime Academy as a Junior. Caleb sees him and Michaelis interacting and composes Young Prince.

Events of the short story Love Like A Freight Train: Gregory and Eddie get frisky in the bedroom.

SPRING 2022:

Events of the short story A Pizza For Purim in March: Eddie makes pizza for Jes and Michaelis.

Epilogues of Fete for a King and Infinite Jes, plus short story Theophile and The Kings: Gregory and Eddie become engaged at Gregory's coronation anniversary ball (April-ish, possibly a bit earlier). Michaelis gives them 18 months before he starts pestering them about grandchildren.

Events of The Lady And The Tiger: Alanna and Jerry travel to Galia; they begin dating and become engaged. Ofelia Ansevali is installed as Duchess.

LATE SPRING/EARLY SUMMER 2022:

Beginning of The Twelve Points Of Caleb Canto: Caleb wins the National Final and meets the royal family; Buck comes to Fons-Askaz to write his next album.

Events of the short story The New Duke: Eddie is made a duke. Michaelis reminds Gregory that they have 16 months left before he starts pestering them about grandchildren.

Events of the short story Gold Digger: Jes fights with their parents about dating Michaelis (prior to attending Eurovision in Turin).

SUMMER 2022:

Ending of The Twelve Points of Caleb Canto: In May, Caleb and Buck compete against each other at Eurovision National Finals.

Noah officially/legally becomes a prince.

PROSPECTIVE: Beginning of The Royals And The Ramblers; Eddie, Gregory, Michaelis, Jes, and Noah visit the Rambler family in California, escorted by Georgie. Monday Rambler is asked to be the royal Surrogate. Monday becomes pregnant circa July.

FALL 2022:

Epilogue of The Twelve Points of Caleb Canto: Buck returns from touring to spend the winter in Fons-Askaz. Noah becomes first mate of the Dychev.

PROSPECTIVE: Royals/Ramblers: Georgie begins a relationship with Monday Rambler. Eddie and Gregory meet and adopt Ioanna. Eddie and Gregory have a huge state wedding.

Events of Cryptofauna Of The Shivadh North: Eddie and Gregory go on vacation and hunt a Svichwurm.

Now, all of that has been written and all but the start of Royals/Ramblers has been published or at least posted. The rest of 2023 is planned out as well so:

SPRING 2023:

PROSPECTIVE: Ending of The Royals And The Ramblers (around late April). The novel spans almost a year, since it begins prior to Monday's pregnancy and ends shortly after she gives birth.

SUMMER 2023:

PROSPECTIVE: The Chicken Salad Wars: Simon LeFevre begins publishing a recipe blog and is recruited into helping plan the Reclamation Day festival. Spans roughly April-August.

PROSPECTIVE: Noah will graduate from the Maritime Academy in June 2023. In theory, if I write his gap year novel, it would begin somewhere around summer 2023. I may not write this one in chronological order (IE, I may write other books set later first, then come back to this one).

FALL 2023:

PROSPECTIVE: Beginning of the yet-untitled Football Novel; Felix Giddings begins building Shivadh RFC and recruiting players for the team's first 11. Spans the midseason gap and will likely end in spring 2024.

PROSPECTIVE: Events of the yet-untitled Roman Ruin Novel; crews hired by Jerry to clear and cultivate portions of the Shivadlakia estate uncover a Roman floor. Unclear how long this novel will span but likely a relatively short period of time.

There are also several stories in the pipeline that have indeterminate dates assigned, but presumably they are further out.

“A 22-year-old man confronts the camera from a rusted-out shower stall, wearing only spiked hair, acne scars, and an expression that snarls, “What do you want?” Beckoning and hostile, the vibe is Manet’s Olympia meets Sid Vicious. This is a self-portrait of Mark Morrisroe, a queer punk artist whose photography was seminal, influencing two generations of photographers (so far), but whose name more widely is more or less forgotten.”

/ Mark Guiducci describing “Untitled (self-portrait standing in the shower), 1981” in “Mark Morrisroe, A Pioneer of Queer Punk, Re-Emerges“ in Vogue magazine, 2021 /

“Mark Morrisroe was an outlaw on every front - sexually, socially, and artistically. He was marked by his dramatic and violent adolescence as a teenage prostitute with a deep distrust and a fierce sense of his uniqueness. I met him in Art School in 1977; he left shit in my mailbox as a gesture of friendship. Limping wildly down the halls in his torn t-shirts, calling himself Mark Dirt, he was Boston’s first punk. He developed into a photographer with a completely distinctive artistic vision and signature. Both his pictures of his lovers, close friends, and objects of desire, and his touching still-lifes of rooms, dead flowers, and dream images stand as timeless fragments of his life, resonating with sexual longing, loneliness, and loss.”

The great Nan Goldin reminiscing about her friend and peer, doomed queer performance artist, photographer, troublemaker and punk provocateur Mark Morrisroe (10 January 1959 – 24 July 1989) who was born 65 years ago today. I first read about Morrisroe’s vivid, wrenching art and brief, turbulent life via Dennis Cooper's blog years ago. Pictured: Untitled, circa 1988.

idk where we're at in terms of our T and BB timeline i.e. when they got together, but T donated money for her production of Antigonick (which is very sweet actually) circa July 2021 which suggests they were pretty serious at that point. Sorry if this is old news though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah, it’s been established that they started dating middle/end of 2020 :) but thanks for the info!

Well Guys

It's officially been one whole year since we as a system found out about our plurality.

Our syscovery was an interesting one to say. It started with Lily discovering the age regression community circa November 2021. Then jumping around May or June of 2022, we started to fully explore the plural community. By around July or August, we had both a "wait a minute" and "eureka!" moment upon realizing we were a system.

Though, we initially didn't come out to friends as plural until we were ready to and they were so supportive of us.

We're incredibly happy to call ourselves plural and thank you to the plural community for your guidance and support.

-Milo

This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out: It’s not as bad as California, so it’s alright ND & PASOK soon to become 1 billion ‘Save the beaches’ movement is here to stay The debt of ND and PASOK cumulatively is circa 840 million euros and rising with no repercussions on the two parties. And that’s probably all you need to know about Greek politics and the finances of the state. 

Some 48,700 hectares were burned (Opens in a new window) during the 17-30 July wildfires in Greece, but the head of the Greek Climate Change Committee claims it is not too bad compared with the California 2021 wildfire. The Greek PM promised free vacation for tourists affected in Rhodes before taking care of the local communities. 

The good news is that a new movement reclaiming Greece’s beaches by denouncing illegal beach bars and sunbeds is spreading throughout the country and has already woken up the authorities, who have been turning a blind eye for decades. 

It cannot be recommended strongly enough to read and share this week's updates on the events and developments in Greece here: https://steadyhq.com/en/athenslivegr/posts/f1fd7e96-3dbe-4935-890a-966550fc0e9b

For anyone with a wish or need to follow and to gain an insight into recent events in Greece and to read and support independent and investigative journalism in English, the weekly newsletter from AthensLive should be a core element in the reading flow.

If you want the best overview of the events and developments in Greece right now, this is the place to go. Not the mainstream Greek news, but independent journalism with sharp analysis and links to interesting and important topics from a variety of sources.

“Are you sure this is going to be fine?” There’s a tone of self-doubt that creeps into her voice that has Fezco snickering softly into the receiver of his phone. “C’mon now Lex, actin’ like you ain’t sleep over before.” She sighs hella dramatically into her AirPods. “Yeah but like, that’s different. Like it’s one thing to fall asleep watching a movie with you and crawl into your bed at like, 3am when one of us wakes up, or to crash at yours when a party goes late. Tonight’s just like, a sleepover. Like I have with Rue sometimes.” “So you can have a sleepover with yo’ other best friend, but not me?”
