Would just like to point out that while it's true Irish were never systematically enslaved, plenty of Irish people were snatched by Barbary pirates or Vikings and taken as slaves. This is not the same thing as the systematic attacks on Black communities, but it did happen.

I believe, but I can't swear to it, that this is because they were in talks for a spin off or maybe even test filming? We were robbed, clearly.

My local network habitually aired Power Rangers episodes all out of order when I was a kid – we were lucky if both parts of a two-parter ended up airing consecutively, much less anything further-reaching – so I always had a fuzzy idea of how some of the plot points lined up.

For example, I didn't realise until just now that the gag where Bulk and Skull got turned into chimpanzees wasn't a one-off thing? Apparently they just stayed that way for the next fifteen episodes, and continued to serve as the show's comic relief B-plot in spite of being monkeys, voice-acted Garfield style by their regular human actors?

Now I'm wondering what else the out-of-order airing made me fail to connect the dots for.

8 TV Shows to Get to Know Me

@sailorsol tagged me in this. My list is in the order I think of them, not in any sort of ranking. I could list a few more but these are probably the foundational ones.

Star Trek, mostly TNG or Picard but also TOS, DS9 or Voy.

Earth 2. (First female lead in a sci fi show, Devon beat Janeway by two weeks!)

SG1/SGA.

Power Rangers, mostly in Space, Wild Force or Samurai, but any series (I don't think I've seen all of Zeo but I'm pretty sure I've seen everything else.)

Charmed season 6. Chris is my boy.

Dr Who, Matt Smith or David Tennant eras. Yes in that order.

The 4400, original flavour. Shaun is my boy.

Merlin. They're all my boys, except the girls, who are my girls.

No tags, we die like free men!

I use over the counter anti-histamines to prevent itchy skin. (Doctor approved, I have dermographism, it's not just dry or a food intolerance.) Then my skin stops itching, and given the post we're on you can guess what my dumb ass does next...

Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise.

“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!”

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

Star Wars Promptlet

In one universe Obi-Wan Kenobi bows shallowly at the end of his formal report of the Battle of Naboo and requests the Council free the mother of his new Padawan from slavery on Tatooine. The Council makes agreeable noises and Obi-Wan tells himself that they will act on his request. However, wary of being accused of attachment, wary of his Padawan being taken away from him because he's too young, too inexperienced, too emotional, too much of a failure, Obi-Wan never checks and he never asks again.

In another universe, Obi-Wan Kenobi sees the dismissive body language of the Counselors during his report - it can't possibly be a Sith they whisper in the eddies of the Force - and he doesn't make a request before he leaves. Instead, he shows up at Quinlan's door in the middle of the Temple's night cycle and his creche mate takes one look at his face before putting on his Shadow blacks and sneaking them past the Temple guard.

Forty one cycles later, Obi-Wan picks Anakin up from where he'd been undergoing the crash course of So You Think You Want To Be A Jedi Night in the Initiate's hall (which went shockingly well, Anakin making friends left and right and filling in some severe baseline knowledge gaps most of the Temple inhabitants took for granted). He hands his Padawan a small, carved bracelet - a broken chain - made from one of the few native plants of Tatooine, a gift from Shmi, and watches Anakin's eyes grow liquid-wet in joy and wonder.

Most people gloss over that Qui-Gon had bought Anakin and not Freed him, Anakin had noticed. Obi-Wan never needed to be told the difference. And Obi-Wan hadn't bought Shmi, he'd simply provided her what she needed to Free herself. And maybe a substantial portion of the Mos Epsa slave quarters along with her. (But that pesky little slave rebellion that started while Obi-Wan and Quinlan just so happened to be on planet absolutely definitely for sure couldn't be traced back to them. They'd made certain of that.)

The Temple still just shy of outright forbids Padawans contact with their birth parents, but every so often - although at least once a year - Obi-Wan sends Anakin on some strange errand that inevitably ends with him slipping into a booth and finding himself sitting next to his mother for a few precious hours of catching up. Their first meeting (after hearing all about how his mother Freed herself and so many others of course) is all about the new friends he made during his moon-cycle in the Initiate's dorms and how four of them have decided to claim him as a crechemate since apparently every Jedi needs crechemates and he came in too old to get them the normal way. Anakin thinks from watching Obi-Wan with Quinlan and Bant and Garen that this means he has siblings now.

(A few years later Anakin's definitely-siblings get sent with him on his weird errand that happens to be on Anakin's life-day and Shmi makes them all a cup of desert-scented tea and welcomes them into the family. Anakin doesn't cry, it's just the steam from the tea making his cheeks wet.)

When Palpatine starts showing a little too much interest in a young Padawan, Anakin listens when Obi-Wan warns him something might be wrong. After all, his Teacher is a Chain-Breaker- why would Anakin doubt him when his words suggest that Palpatine may be too close to a Depur to be trusted? His crechemates also don't like it and his mother says words he didn't know she knew in her own reaction.

The anonymous report Anakin submits to the Senate Guards that they might want to check in on Senator Palpatine and his creepy obsession with young kids stays anonymous, but it does get leaked and the ensuing media storm starts strong and ends stronger with the discovery of a Sith Master.

In short, Obi-Wan helps Shmi Free herself and a war that breaks a galaxy never starts.

One of Magnus’ favorite things in the world, the thing that gives him the most hope, is the friendship between Madzie and Alec. When he watches Alec, almost the head of the New York Institute, playing with Madzie, one of the most powerful young warlocks around, he believes that things really can change, that the Clave may stop treating them as second class citizens.

On the other hand, having to explain to Madzie that Alec is on a mission and can’t play with her is one of the worst things he has to do, and he hates it. “You know he’d be here if he could, Sweetpea. He hates missing you. But his work is important.” She blinks up at him, clutching the Candyland box, and he sighs. “I’ll text him and ask if he’s finished, but I don’t know if he is. Why don’t you go draw him a picture for now?”

She heaves a sigh and goes to sit at the table. Ragnor laughs as Magnus joins them by the fire. “You didn’t kick a puppy, Magnus.”

“It feels like I did,” he mutters.

Magnus stands, rounding the desk to stand between Alec’s legs. “I shouldn’t have closed my eyes to this. You’re right to be angry with me.”

“I’m not angry with you,” Alec says patiently. “I shouldn’t have ever thought about Downworlders the way I did before you. You taught me to look at how a person acts, not what they are. We live and learn, right?”

“We do.” Magnus kisses him lightly.

“Don’t do that here. You know what happens,” Alec groans, “and I have to be official when Lorenzo gets here.”

“To be continued, then.”

This whole thing is amazing but "Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene" now lives in my head rent free

Eldritch Horror Jolene Masterpost

This incredible reinterpretation of Jolene has become one of my favorite things. I have stitched together a master version of the song from the posts here, here, and here. Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man. Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; Please don’t take him just because you can.

Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

For years our town’s been terrorized By the beast who takes disguise In the shell that calls itself Jolene

Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath Eyes closed against the threat of death That lies behind the teeth of that Jolene

The closer that you get to her The more those edges seem to blur To something that cannot be called Jolene

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man. Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; Please don’t take him just because you can.

He screams about you in his sleep, And when he wakes does naught but weep, In terror of the one they call, Jolene.

We cower here beneath your gaze, That sets the earth and sky ablaze, Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.

Before her wrath no foe could stand, Their corpses piled upon the sand, The blood of gods are on her hands; Jolene.

Her hunger barely satisfied, She feasted on the ones who died, She slumbers now in starless skies; Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you, please don’t disturb her sleep. Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep.

Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape From judgement of the Eldritch One, Jolene

Blackening the summer skies, With burning wings and countless eyes, We tremble at the thought of you, Jolene.

Bliss withered from this awful truth, Gone is the ignorance of youth, The unrelenting mark of that Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man. Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; Please don’t take him just because you can.

The foolish who came to defend, Their broken minds will never mend, They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.

But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair My eyes have met your vacant stare And  I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’ll end this story just how it began I’ll take your teeth if you try to take my man
