The still-fulfilling promise of a light

ISTJ, Mom Friend, Fandom Ancient. Pretty things, nerdy things, funny things, and sometimes serious things. I love all the characters you hate, probably.

“I still wake up with things to tell you. One day, I won’t. I will learn placid acceptance. I will stop panicking when I can’t perfectly remember the pitch of your voice or the curve of your jawline. The smell of cinnamon won’t make me sad anymore. At this point it’s not about finding someone to replace you. I have spread my love all over the place. It’s about trying to sleep knowing I live in a world that has your hands in it.”

“I Still Forget We’re Not Even Friends” Trista Mateer

this is from my book Honeybee!

This probably sounds obvious, but I learned today that prisoners aren't protected by OSHA regulations, and that this is another reason why employers are so eager to utilize this modern slavery. It's only a couple cents an hour, less transportation costs than the overseas sweatshops, and if you want people to work with hazardous materials without proper training? That's fine too! Prison labor is the ultimate free market solution!

If you want to really change the world, prisoner rights and prison reform is the way to go. Removing the ability of the ruling class to effectively punish the population frees everyone to challenge them in meaningful ways. Arbitrary violence and incarceration is how they keep people scared and divided. There is no crime in our society that isn't generated by our society. Even the worst ones you can think of.

Prisoner rights are human rights. Prison abolition is mass freedom.

what if at the end of succession Logan just bursts into worms

[leannihilation-deactivated20230]

roman: oh fuck you guys! Dad's not - actually worms, alright, he's just fucking with us. it's a mindfuck, it's textbook fucking cave painting shit

Kendall: uh, I'm pretty sure he burst into worms, bro

shiv: but not... really, right? not actually worms. like it wasn't ... worms? are we sure? did - did Hugo say that?

frank: (raises eyebrows) Worms.

Tom: surely not? I mean, earthworms?

frank: pink and everything.

Connor: (inexplicably crunching on an apple like brad pitt) Yeah, but that's classic Pa, though, right? he used to do that all the time when I was a kid

Kendall: yeah no I remember that

roman: oh fuck off! (standing on the table for some reason)

(later)

Greg: so Uncle Logan - he was, um, he was worms the whole time?

ewan: Greg, I tried to warn you of the insectoid rot poisoning this family. of course he was worms.

Greg: Yes, but you didn't... I thought, in a sort of, um, metaphorical way, like in terms of - I don't think you quite elucidated the actual nature of the situation, to me, um...

-

(even later)

Greg: (on the phone) YES MOM, like the oogie boogie man!

hey there! i hope you’re doing well. do you have plans to update your hp fic soon? no pressure, of course. you’re a talented writer and i’ve really enjoyed the characterization - thank you for sharing with us

Oh my gosh! I hadn’t even seen this before I updated today. I am so glad I could give you that update after WAY too long. Fact is, I had a baby this year, so I’m a little reprioritized. :) I want to be better though (I just about kicked myself when I saw a year had passed), and I’m hopeful I can update again soon.

Thank you, SO much, for your patience and loyalty.

Hi! I’ve been a fan of Peter ever since I read the books as a kid- and I really love how you characterise him both in your posts and your fic!

Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad, and I am overdue for a fic update—stay tuned!
