My Mind Wanders After Midnight

I'm a writer. I'm a student. I like Firefly, Lord of the Rings, and many other films, tv series, and books. This blog page is (hopefully) going to be a mixture of interesting things I find, random scribblings I come up with in the early hours of the night, as well as my thoughts on various things. In real life, I'm quite shy, but I'm less shy here. Feel free to say hi or to ask me questions :) CURRENTLY ON SEMI-HIATUS Those of you who have known me a while or even just talked to a bit sometimes can totally ask for my skype or RP blog url to stay in touch, since I don't lurk here so often anymore.

The RNC sent me a notice of official census material that was actually a fundraiser for the republican candidates running in the midterms. The paperwork was presented as being an official document required to be filled out by law, but it was patently false. This is corruption. This is meant to deceive people into giving data and money to a political party under the guise of nonpartisan census data. This undermines trust in the census, local government, and the democratic process. This is beyond disgusting, and I’m mailing back the form to tell the RNC how I really feel about their bullshit.

Introducing Gay Representation™ now in two original flavors: 1. Dead lesbian 2. White gay boy written 100% for the female demographic

[thiefqueenftw]

how could you forget number 3

gratuitous inaccurate lesbian sex scene made for straight men

[wheresmyphonemp3]

and of course the 4th

gay character gets five seconds of screentime at the very end

[fabulesque]

This is great but it’s missing the 5th: character who is only revealed to be gay by the media’s creator outside of the canon and whose sexuality is never actually present in any capacity in the media

[velvetsugar]

Thank u all for properly extending the Gay Representation Menu

So, I looked in the comments, expecting to see discourse or historical background etc, but I found none. Therefore, I decided to learn more and add background. Apparently this machine was used because of polio because polio paralyzes your lungs. According to the wiki article on this bad boy, patients would spend two weeks in there sometimes. They still have these machines, though much, much more modern but they’re barely used at all anymore: “In 1959, there were 1,200 people using tank respirators in the United States, but by 2004 there were only 39. By 2014, there were only 10 people left with an iron lung.” (x)

When you try to skip ahead in your WIP but then realize there’s so much more background / foundation you need to write first:

Aragorn: “I let Frodo go.”

Boromir: “Then you did what I could not.“
