Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things
Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.
Bring me to Life, but bolded if it applies to Gideon, and italicized if it applies to Harrow
How can you see into my eyes, like open doors Leading you down into my core Where I've become so numb Without a soul My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside (save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) Before I come undone (save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without You can't just leave me Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life
Wake me up inside (save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) Before I come undone (save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life I've been living a lie There's nothing inside Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch Without your love, darling Only you are the life among the dead
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems I've got to open my eyes to everything Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul Don't let me die here There must be something wrong, bring me to life
Wake me up inside (save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) Before I come undone (save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life I've been living a lie There's nothing inside Bring me to life

I know you aren't always into asks, but I would love to hear your thoughts on why it was Marrow's defection and Ironwood's immediate attempt to murder him that finally convinced Winter to defect.
@theseerasures has really already put them into words better than I ever could (see this post, written like three days before Marrow defected and Winter saved his life, thereby demonstrating the exact point of the post), but the short version is: Winter in crisis mode (and she is always in crisis mode) reacts to the things directly in front of her without allowing herself to think about greater implications. Winter is motivated primarily by personal connections rather than ideology. Winter spent all of her formative years as the eldest sibling in an abusive household, ready on a hair-trigger to throw herself on a grenade for whichever younger sibling was the target of father's ire—regardless of if she made herself "the bad guy" in that sibling's eyes by doing so.
So as with everything about Winter, it was actually incredibly simple: she recognized a situation in action that she's seen many times over (now with much higher stakes), and she reacted. Things happen, and Winter reacts. She put on a good show for dad, made an excuse to get younger sibling out of the way, and the moment she was alone with Marrow again and could process what she'd already done—that she had, in fact, already committed treason, for the third time since this started, but this time she couldn't excuse just giving you a head start on account of it would quickly become obvious Marrow wasn't in a holding cell and she had no intention of taking him to one just so that he could get shot for insubordination and desertion later, because even though Winter has made a career out of putting bandaids over cracks in a dam even she can recognize that buying him nothing but a few days and the humiliation of a court martial before his execution was no mercy at all, and for the more practical reason that she would be right there next to him in the firing line now—it was just. WELP. FUCK. MARROW WAS RIGHT. HE SAID WHAT WE WERE ALL THINKING—
(And yes, all thinking, even Harriet's "who cares?" was the most hilariously transparent thing she's ever said and half the things she's ever said are blatant lies about how she feels—you care, Hare, you're just desperately trying to pretend you don't because if you do that means your entire life structure and worldview is a lie and you've been trying to outrun that realization since Gravity because that's a more difficult thing to admit than anything in the entire world, as shown by the fact that in the end you can only admit it when your teammates who got there before you pull your finger off the trigger and then Vine dies for it. I digress.)
—WEISS WAS RIGHT. IRONWOOD IS THE THREAT. WE GOTTA STOP HIM TO SAVE ATLAS. I GOTTA CALL WEISS AND TELL HER SHE WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME. FUCK. FUCK. I'M SO MAD ABOUT THIS.
There's no escaping then, between the previous scene and this one, that Ironwood has become just another Jacques. (Almost like they have the same first name in different languages or something.) And she doesn't repeat Marrow's heartbroken I believed in you, but it's true all the same. But it wasn't the ideological project of Atlas she was truly invested in the way Marrow was: it was the man who made her think he was safe.
Either way, when admiration turns to hatred, it turns hard.

So I really enjoyed the Locked Tomb Trilogy (what I’ve read of it so far, given that it’s not done)
I appreciate that all the characters are fluent in tumblr-speak, just from a standpoint of seeing it in a major publication
It’s just, it takes place 10,000 years in the future, and they’re still using 2018 tumblr memes and it’s weird
Among Us is an elaborate homestuck reference actually

“Tortilla” would match to “torta”, which….is a real Spanish word that just means cake, y’all.
Tortillas are little flat cakes.
in addition, mosca means fly
mosquito does mean little fly
lmfao
‘dump’ is an old adjective that meant “doughy” so “dumpling” is basically “little doughy thing”
Yes but that’s not funny.
Doro still at large
No, that’s the Dorissimo.

@crvggio I’ve been laughing at this for 47 years
if you needed proof that i’m really not cut out for the casual environment of teaching from my living room, just know that today i almost ruined a 20 minute long video i was recording about romano-british culture because i almost said “this dude fucks” while talking about the bitchin outfits worn by british chieftains
in my defense look at this dude! the level of ‘this dude fucks’ here is off the charts
I should make that shirt and also this dude fucks.
Hey so the trolley problem is dumb because the real person at fault for any of the deaths is the person who designed the trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who put in the purchase order for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who approved a PO for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who delivered a trolley without an emergency braking system, the organization that inspected and certified a trolley without an emergency braking system,and the operator who did not make a huge stink about being assigned to a trolley without an emergency braking system.
Whether you pull the lever is irrelevant, because a whoooole mess of people fucked up for you to be in that hypothetical situation.
Seriously, like, as a professional engineer, I find the premise of the trolley problem offensive. Cause like, so many safety regulations have been violated that it's just... insane.
"But, Cody, what if there was an emergency braking system, and it failed?"
Failure to perform regular maintenance and inspection. So, it's still someone else's fault.
"What if maintenance and inspections were done correctly, and it still failed?"
Some engineer somewhere failed to design a failsafe with the necessary redundancies. Again, it's someone else's fault.
"What about sabotage?"
The saboteur is obviously to blame.
"What if it's just a freak accident?"
Once again there's that engineer failing to place redundancies.
"What if it was just an act of God, and the engineer and everyone else did everything right?"
Then God is to blame. Duh. Not sure why this is so hard to get.
Any accident investigator will tell you that an accident is caused by a chain of incidents, and there were always several places the disaster could have been stopped.
Trolley problems are just philosophers being cruel to their audiences.
I would look at whoever is tying people to trolley tracks. That might be the issue right there.
Maybe the real trolley problem was the OSHA violations we made along the way.
