Words of the Day

mimesis: (or mimetic) 

representation or imitation of the real world in art and literature.

the deliberate imitation of the behavior of one group of people by another group as a factor in social change. (more this one for me)

pundit:  an expert in a particular subject or field who is frequently called on to give opinions about it to the public.

evangelist : a person who seeks to convert others to the Christian faith, especially by public preaching.

embattled:  (of a place or people) involved in or prepared for war, especially because surrounded by enemy forces.

(of a person) beset by problems or difficulties.

~~~

I wish I was a pundit when it came to film/tv but in order for that to be true, I’d have to watch EVERYTHING. I do NOT want to do that LOL. I just want to watch my cartoons. Plus I’m not sure I enjoy the preachy evangelist attitudes that a lot of pundits have. 

I’m noticing a large change towards mimetic behavior online. It happened after the pandemic. It’s clear that everyone is doing the same things....”whatever works” so to speak. I’m about to become embattled based on what I have in my head to do online next. Either people are going to hate it, or (if I’m lucky) no one will see it 😊 (This is why I love my Tumblr)

Elton John, John Lennon

We began spending a lot of time together, whenever I was in America. He'd separated from Yoko and was living in Los Angeles with May Pang. I know that period is supposed to have been really troubled and unpleasant and dark, but I've got to be honest, I never saw that in him at all. I heard stories occasionally - about some sessions he'd done with Phil Spector that went completely out of control, about him going crazy one night and smashing up the record producer Lou Adler's house. I could see a darkness in some of the people he was hanging out with: Harry Nilsson was a sweet guy, an incredibly talented singer and songwriter, but one drink too many and he'd turn into someone else, someone you really had to watch yourself around...

But I genuinely never encountered that nasty, intimidating, destructive aspect of John that people talk about, the biting, acerbic wit. I'm not trying to paint some saintly posthumous portrait at all; I obviously knew that side of him existed, I just never saw it at first-hand. All I ever saw from him was kindness and gentleness and fun, so much so that I took my mum and [Elton's stepfather] Derf to meet him. We went out to dinner, and when John went to the toilet, Derf thought it would be a great joke to take his false teeth out and put them in John's drink: there was something infectious about John's sense of humour that made people do things like that. Jesus, he was so funny. Whenever I was with him - or even better - him and Ringo - I just laughed and laughed and laughed.

You're a joke, man. Other writers update their fics weekly, yet for several months all you've done is add more 3/10 shows to the equation after already proving you can't handle the existing workload. It's genuinely funny to see just how HARD you fell off

Personally, I think what’s genuinely funny here is that you’re saying this in reference to some guy on the Internet writing fanfiction :P

This is a hobby, my dude! One I dearly love and am quite passionate about, and one I wish I could do full time, like I could a couple years ago (presumably before I fell off HARD, as you say), but not something that’s gonna let me, y’know, engage in capitalist society :P

I’ll give you this: I have been very slow with the updates. I could be making more time to write, for sure, cutting out gaming time or watching fewer episodes. But a lack of updates doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything - quite the opposite, in fact! I have half a dozen chapters that are either finished or very close to it, just missing a few tweaks and editing or waiting on other updates to go first to avoid spoilers. As I’ve said before, no matter how much I wish I was faster, I’m just not gonna put out something I’m not reasonably happy with.

Tell you what: my New Year’s resolution is gonna be updating more often - not for the likes of you, but for however many (or few!) people still care about the series.

Anyway, thanks for reading! Sorry for not updating more often. Thanks for being an asshole about it!

I actually do like the trailer as a "meet the gang" trailer, I think it's fun and quirky in a good way. But it never should have been the launch trailer, and it was a massive marketing screw up to make it one

ANATOLE BROYARD "Portrait of the Inauthentic Negro: How Prejudice Distorts the Victim’s Personality " [July 1950]

Authenticity is difficult to attain. To make it even more difficult, no one seems to know exactly what it consists in. Authenticity, as I take it, would mean stubborn adherence to one’s essential self, in spite of the distorting pressures of one’s situation. By the Negro’s essential self, I mean his innate qualities and developed characteristics as an individual, as distinguished from his preponderantly defensive reactions as a member of an embattled minority.

We now interrupt your life to bring you CRCNA Synod 2022 part two, featuring homophobia, LGBT+ activism, obscure complaint procedures, and anger that previous disciplinary decisions have not been enforced (because they were appealed). In the meantime we queers and our accomplices watch old men destroy the tenuous sanctuaries we had built, leaving nothing for the children who follow us
