My college program is making an art sale so I decided to contribute by making a print of Aragorn and Arwen as The Kiss by Gustav Klimt! They’re so perfect for that painting

So anyways with the rapid rise of fascism I feel it’s a good time to point out that it’s perfectly legal to follow unjust orders slowly, badly, or inefficiently

[teaboot]

Breaking the law, even an unjust law, has consequences that not all can afford. But also a very large number of us are also very stupid, or very confused, or very lazy, and so it’s not unreasonable that someone at the bottom of the chain of command might make a typo, or misplace some paperwork, or leave a Friday afternoon email for Monday morning.

When something goes wrong, or an operation slows down, because a low-level worker somewhere sent a package to the wrong address or left someone on hold for an hour or didn’t fill out a particular form correctly- Do you immediately assume malicious intent? Or do you usually just brush it off as some underpaid idiot being bad at their job?

[teaboot]

You also gotta not brag about it. Keep your political opinions on the down low. Be noncommittal or ignorant or undecided. Say things like “I’ve never heard of that”, “where did you hear that?” or “that’s interesting, I heard a conflicting story from here, how weird”. Never be outwardly confidant of what you know. When there is a silence, don’t fill it- leave the space and let the other fill it for you. That’s how you get information, that’s how you find sources, that’s how you reduce the value of anything others get out of you.

Virtue signalling by wearing pins and ribbons and loudly declaring your place is not safe in some environments. It will place scrutiny on you and everything you touch. Nobody believes the guy who says “fuck my boss and everything he stands for” scratches the boss’s car by accident, even if it is an accident.

If you want to slow the march of a tank, filling the path with mud is going do more than laying down in front of it.

i am still early on in reading (and understanding) the locked tomb but my favorite part of gideon the ninth is that you’re introduced to this world and made to think that this is how everyone is in the Empire, that the ninth house sets the tone for everyone you will meet because we are in a third-person limited POV à la gideon. but no. the ninth house are just goth freaks. there are normal–blisteringly normal–people throughout the universe. the lens the reader perceives everything through is just the Angsty Catholic-Adjacent Goth Lens

I don't feel like you guys understand how into pyrrah dve I am like I've never wanted to pounce on a character before but something about her... m

[albaharu]

Me, reading GTN for the first time, biased for the Gideon POV narration: why everyone is so mean to Gideon why arent they befriending her when she is so cool???

Gideon most of the book:

"Gonna spend my time not talking and standing in the shadows full in black"
