Title: What I Learned From the Trees

Author: L.E Bowman

Rating: 3 out of 5

Review: I'm trying to read more poetry and honestly just picked this up because of the title. If I'm perfectly honest, this wasn't for me. It took a bit of reading before I connected with any of the poems. I can appreciate that they were well written but there was no emotional connection, no response of any sort. I felt like they all seemed to say the same thing. Of course there were a few I did enjoy but all in all, not my favorite poetry collection.

Joan E. Greve at The Guardian:

Summer Lee, a Pennsylvania congresswoman, easily beat back a primary challenge on Tuesday, delivering progressives one of their most significant victories yet of this election cycle as they brace for a wave of pro-Israel funding targeting pro-ceasefire candidates. The Associated Press called the 12th district Democratic primary at 9.21pm, roughly an hour and an half after Pennsylvania polls closed at 8pm ET. Lee defeated local council member Bhavini Patel, who had criticized the progressive “Squad” member over her calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. Patel had pitched herself as a “pro-Biden Democrat”, suggesting she would better support the president’s agenda in Congress.

But Lee waved off that criticism, and she often pointed to the $1.2bn in government funding she delivered for her Pittsburgh-based district over her first term as evidence of her legislative effectiveness. “I am so humbled and proud to win my first primary re-election to be the congresswoman for this incredible district I’ve spent my life fighting for,” Lee said in a statement celebrating her victory. “Our campaign was built on a record of delivering for our democracy, defending our most fundamental rights, and expanding our vision for what is politically possible for our region’s most marginalized communities.” That argument appeared to sway many of Lee’s constituents as well as local Democratic leaders. In February, the Allegheny county Democratic party formally endorsed Lee for the first time, after the group backed her rival in the 2022 primary.

Lee’s 2022 primary made national headlines because of the involvement of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac). According to OpenSecrets, the Super Pac United Democracy Project, which is affiliated with Aipac, spent a total of $3.3m against Lee in 2022. She ultimately defeated her opponent, Pittsburgh attorney Steve Irwin, by less than 1,000 votes, or 0.9 points. This year, progressives largely expected pro-Israel groups like UDP to again invest heavily in attack ads against Lee. But surprisingly, they chose to stay out of Lee’s primary, a choice the congresswoman’s allies credited to her popularity and legislative record. Despite the absence of the pro-Israel lobby, one Super Pac did get involved in Lee’s primary to boost Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, which aims to support centrist Democrats and is largely funded by Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, spent more than $600,000 supporting Patel. Lee and her allies turned Yass’ involvement in the race into a campaign issue, lambasting the billionaire’s Super Pac contributions.

[...] Although UDP opted to stay out of Lee’s race, progressive leaders believe her successful campaign strategy could still be instructive for other pro-ceasefire lawmakers expected to be targeted by pro-Israel groups in their primaries. Aipac and its political affiliates reportedly plan to spend $100m this election cycle, after pouring nearly $50m in to the 2022 midterms. At least two other “Squad” members, Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri, have already attracted primary challengers, and Aipac has already endorsed their opponents. Lee alluded to Bowman and Bush on Sunday, telling supporters that her victory would reverberate around the country.

AIPAC and pro-Israel Apartheid groups got handed an L last night, as incumbent pro-Gaza Ceasefire progressive Dem Summer Lee holds on in the PA-12 primary, fending off Bhavini Patel.

Book: The Evolution of a Girl, by L. E. Bowman

[sleidog]

Learn about my OCs! post #1 Slei!

Come learn about the big lemon! Firstly; slei has two commonly used armour sets, mainly it's the chest piece that changes; the first striped outfit is his outlaw/pre commander fit that he also brings back for path of fire, the other outfit he wears as commander/in colder climates. He also uses a raven mask when his identity needs to be kept hush-hush and a big feather mantle when it's truly bitterly cold.

[ Name ]  Sleibhain/Slei [prefers his short name!]

[ Species ] Sylvari

[ Height ] 6'2"

[ Age ] 12-22 [30-40 by more normal age conventions]

[ Class ] Druid Ranger

[ Cycle ] Dawn

[ Gender ] Male, He/Him

[ Status ] Single [in an on/off open relationship]

[ Orientation ] Androsexual 

Slei is the reluctant new commander of Dragon's Watch. After taking over from Destrey, the original commander, Slei took it upon himself to make his best effort at pulling a splintered pact back together after monumental losses after the seige on Mordremoth.

He ends up being the first line of defense against 4 more elder dragons and finally, albeit reluctantly when it comes to the final dragon, ends the dragon cycle.

[ P e r s o n a l I t y ] 

Slei is easy going and easily mistaken as being lazy and flippant. His attitude towards most things is usually that it can wait until it's absolutely necessary. However, when it comes to matters of importance he's a focused and dedicated individual until that task is complete.

Generally fun to be around and very easy to get along with, Slei is a particularly low maintenance friend who's just as happy to give others space as they need it and have no problem if the same is given to him. Vastly prefers his own company and that of his pets rather than other sentient races.

  [ L i k e s  &  D i s l i k e s ] 

✔ Animals/Nature                        ✔ Catching a break                    ✔ Adventuring/Exploring  ✖ Being Misunderstood ✖ Loud noises       ✖ Small/enclosed spaces                  

 [ H o b b i e s ]  • Animal handling • Woodworking for bows and staves • Treasure hunting  [ S t a t i s t i c s ] 

 [ A b i l i t i e s ] 

De-escalation; Very apt at de-escalating a situation with his passive nature, it's hard to argue with someone who doesn't have the energy to argue back!.

Skilled bowman; Slei has an inate ability with a bow and arrow. He's extremely precise and will often wait for the perfect shot if he isn't shooting multiple arrows into the sky to rain down on a large mob of enemies.

Woodworker;  Slei enjoys carpentry when he gets spare time, usually in the realm of repairing things that were broken, or making bows and staves. Back when he was just a common thief in his younger years, he often made a lot of his own equipment like this. He would also sell the things he made to get enough money to get by in his outlaw years [given his stolen money usually went almost fully to refugees]

Animal connection; Slei perhaps has a greater understanding of animals than he does of sentient races, to the point that he synergises very well with animals, more so than he does with other races, unless he has prior experience with that person.

[ T r i v i a ] • Prior to his promotion to Pact commander [and eventually Dragon's Watch commander] he was planned to be executed for a crime he didn't commit.

• Slei's choice to be involved in criminal activity was purely to spread funds and goods to those less fortunate, anyone aligning with his gang who hurt or robbed someone less fortunate was severely reprimanded and removed from his group.

• Slei's been arrested more than once and released on bail. One such time he was doing community service around winters day, he delivered a gift to Destrey, who would go on to be the original Pact commander in this canon. Destrey cherishes that gift to this day and has no knowledge that Slei gave it to him.

• Slei's primary weapons are from the Warden's set, though he can also be seen with Pact weaponry or his favorite bow, the Bright Inquisitor's longbow, a gift from Delanaich.

• Slei never intended to become the Commander of the Pact, he just found Destrey's resignation note.

• His iris is small in relation to the rest of his eye, giving him a very intense stare despite his day-dreamy attitude.

• Slei's leaves on his body are ripped/torn in places from his rough background in his early years.

• He has leaves on his chest and underarms that mimic body hair.

Fernseh-Helden

Erinnerungen, die bleiben...

Robert Addie als Guy of Gisburne (leider allzu jung verstorben), der Gegenspieler von Robin Hood hatte es mir total angetan. Ich glaube, ich war eine von vielen, die sich in der ersten Episode prompt in ihn verliebt haben. He was such a cute guy! Sein jugendliches Auftreten, verbunden mit einem wundervollen Testosteron-Timbre, seine Autorität, die oftmals ins Wanken geriet, wenn er in ein Fettnäpfchen stieg, und sein verzweifeltes Suchen nach Anerkennung beim weiblichen Geschlecht (meine Güte, wie konnte man so einen Mann ablehnen?), seine imponierende Größe, seine Reitkenntnisse.. all das trug dazu bei, dass er bis heute unvergessen bleibt und auch in Zukunft sein wird. Leider ist er viel zu früh verstorben (an Lungenkrebs), RIP, best Guy of Gisburne ever!

Als erster mir in Erinnerung gebliebener Held der Mattscheibe ist mir das inzwischen leider von uns gegangene Spitzohr - mit der manchmal ebenso spitzen Zunge- Mr. Spock (L. Nimoy). Seine Coolness, selbst in brenzligen Situationen, seine Selbstironie und unerschütterliche Loyalität waren für mich einfach nur "faszinierend". Als einzige emotionale Regung ein Hochziehen der ohnehin schon nach oben zeigenden Brauen oder Andeutung eines milden Lächelns war schon das höchste der Gefühle beim grün-blütigen Vulkanier. Wie oft hab ich diese umwerfende Coolness herbeigesehnt, während meiner Schulzeit vor allem die Logik, die mir so sehr fehlte, wie bewunderte ich die Helden im Pyjama-Look und schwarzen Stiefelchen (die Damen in atemberaubend kurzen Kleidchen), die sich jeder brenzligen Situation im All (oder auch komischen: "Kennen Sie Tribbles?") unerschrocken stellten. Sollte Spocks Umgang mit seinen Mitmenschen und Eltern auch von einer gewissen Unterkühlung geprägt gewesen sein, ich wünschte mir diese Nüchternheit zuweilen nach Austeilung der Mathematik-Schularbeiten-Hefte. Ach, wieder ein Nichtgenügend, aber das ist doch kein Weltuntergang, ich verstehe das ganze Theater um die Noten nicht. Piep. Hier Bowman. Ende.

Dann war da etwas später auch der ultracoole Dr. House, stets die Lösung für schwierige medizinischen (Not-) Fälle parat, fies zu seinen Mitarbeitern (und Patienten) und meistens halb high durch Vicodin. So fies wollte ich auch zuweilen sein, wagte es aber nicht, aus Gründen der zwischenmenschlich erforderlichen Harmonie. Oh ja, man wünschte manchem schon mal die Pest an den Hals, (selbst das konnte Dr. House diagnostizieren, meistens war es aber Lupus. ) Leider kann ich die Serie aus hypochondrischen Gründen nicht mehr nachverfolgen. Absolut nicht mehr.

Widmen wir uns lieber meinem Lieblings-Neurotiker Adrian Monk, in dem ich einige meiner eigenen Unzulänglichkeiten entdeckte. Z.B. Höhenangst, Angst vor Milch und vor Bakterien. Dr. Google schlägt mir weiters vor: Akrophobie, Aviophobie, Canophobie, Ophiophobie, Klaustrophobie, Achluophobie, Aphephosmophobie, Agaraphobie, , Dentophobie, Enetophobie, etc., eventuell Asperger . Monk schlittert schon mal in einer sozialen Interaktion von einer komischen Situation in die andere. Er liebt seinen Psychiater Dr. Charles Kroger, (Stanley Kamel, leider verstorben) heiß und wurde mit seinem einarmigen Kollegen nicht recht warm, abgesehen von den Gruppensitzungen (eek!). Meine Eltern nervt/e er etwas, ebenso ab und zu seine zwei Assistentinnen; ich finde ihn drollig, er hat was von Mr. Bean, und ich wünschte, ich hätte manchmal auch ein nüchternes, realistisches, nicht in den Wolken schwebendes Beiwagerl (schon wieder ein schulischer Ausdruck), das mir ein Tuch reicht, um Türen zu öffnen. Und nachher zum Desinfizieren der Hände. Ich bin aber damit bis jetzt recht gut gefahren, auch wenn manch einer die Augen verdreht.

Ausflug nach Colorado Springs zu Dr. Quinn und Byron Sully "Es schwebt was in der Luft: Testosteron oh, Byron Sully, der hat viel davon..." Für Joe Lando in der Lederhose war es eine ziemliche Herausforderung, den Sully authentisch darzustellen. In der Prairie spielte er den emotional leicht angegriffenen Sully, braun gebrannt, einen Freund der Indianer und einen oft wortkargen Naturburschen. Im echten Leben ist Joe Lando eher blass unter dem vielen make up und hasst Schmutz unter seinen Fingernägeln. Sully lebt in vollkommener Harmonie mit der Natur und seinen Bewohnern, allerdings ist er im wirklichen Leben allergisch auf fast alles, was darin vorkommt, einschließlich der Hundehaare des Haus"wolfes". Sully reitet, nach anfänglichem Zögern, doch recht flott stets ohne Sattel und wirft gekonnt den Tomahawk, wenn es einmal nötig erscheint, aber Joe Lando's Allerwertester musste nach jedem Ausritt mit Eis gekühlt werden. Er und Michaela liegen sich oft in den Haaren, meist wegen Kleinigkeiten, aber das Happy End gestaltet sich meistens mit: Du hattest Recht, Sully, .. nein, du hattest Recht, Michaela...

🦈DENIED PROPAGANDA🦈

"denied moment"s, and also ones where he's joined by Aldurra

Every silly art he shows up in, again thus far:

These doodles of him from a bunch of others based on chapter 19:

As well as the only legitimate bit of art I uh. Have for him. At the moment. From the still unfinished ensemble piece:

Denied Cellar Merman. A mishmash of many counterparts. Kind of annoying.

And lastly, music inspirations! Themes include:

Mutiny - F-777

Ocean Stars Falling - Michael Guy Bowman/Mark Hadley

Relatives (Bros 2) - MoldyGH (3rd section)

Black Sea - Desolo Zantas

Sushi For Cats music - Epidemic Sound

Reading List (Latest Update Aug. 4, 2024)

The full list of books I'm interested in reading. Spoiler before you open the read-more: This list has 500+ entries so it's a tad long. The only reason it isn't numbered is because of tumblr's character limit on blocks of text, which this far exceeds. It is, instead, bulleted and separated into chunks of 50 after the cut.

I'm pretty much constantly adding things to all of my lists- hence why I'm amending when this was last updated to the title itself- and will update this post anytime I update the wheel I use to randomize my next choice, which usually happens after I've added or subtracted a significant number of options.
