Upswing
Any activity before 12 noon comes
with its own license to linger, still
on the rise, the ball arcing upwards
towards its sunshine crescendo.

Soak in all the light you can.
Be you flora, feline or even man.
The day may ask from you a lot;
Find repreive in your sunspot.

역사를 탐구하는 것은 미래를 선취하는 길이다. 추세를 바꾸는 변곡점을 찾아내고 해석할 수 있어야 지속가능한 미래를 설계할 수 있다. "우리는 미국 사회의 위대함이 정상에 도달했던 순간을 노스탤지어의 눈빛으로 바라보려는 게 아니다. 우리의 시대와 아주 유사한 절망적인 시대를 보고 그 속에서 영감과 교훈을 얻으려 하는 것이다. 과거의 그 절망적인 순간에 미국인들은 역사의 방향을 성공적으로 전환하여-이것은 측정 가능하다-더욱 유망한 방향으로 나아갔다. Our thesis is not that we should return nostalgically to some peak of American greatness, but that we should take inspiration and perhaps instruction from a period of despair much like our own, on the heels of which Americans successfully—and measurably—bent history in a more promising direction." 로버트 D. 퍼트넘, <업스윙> #Book #Upswing #Individualism #Community #History https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGm2iyvwIM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you’re a woodland park witch and you realize you’re enjoying being outside for the first time in 21 days due to a combo of illness + heat wave — and you’re in the upswing of your recovery AND the heat wave breaks enough for an absolutely glorious evening orchestra courtesy of cicadas + a gentle fresh breeze rustling the leaves + happy kiddos playing at the park across the street + the sound of your familiar catching up on all the smells he’s missed.

Axie Infinity (AXS) set for a 50% upswing on this bullish thesis
Axie Infinity (AXS) is now beginning to report some bullish consolidation. The coin had declined steadily since Might 12, and there have been worries it may retreat under $10. Nonetheless, we’re seeing indicators of enchancment, in actual fact, AXS may escape over the approaching days. Listed here are some key info:

A seasonal offering for you: a scene from my old fic Only Lovers See The Fall, in which Caleb and Essek contemplate endings and beginnings at a Harvest Close festival in Zadash. The right kind of autumn red looks just like the Vermaloc of Rosohna and the home Essek has left behind.
My strength as an artist is in nature subjects and simplified, gestural comics, so it was fun to stretch myself a bit by attempting a full scene with people and buildings. Happy Autumn! 🍁🍂🌻

wow i forgot how terribly alone daisy is this season. she's basically operating solo for the entirety of 5a. she's fresh off healing from the trauma of the past seasons, and BARELY so. and then she finds out she's going to be responsible for DESTROYING THE PLANET. and then she gets back home and finds out coulson is dying. her usual support system has all but completely abandoned her. and NOBODY is listening to a single word she has to say or considering her feelings. she gets strapped to a table and has SURGERY performed by one of her best friends WITHOUT any anesthetic, and she begs fitz to stop. afterwards, there's nobody to comfort her and her best friend leave her completely alone to go support the man who just violated her. homegirl literally digs up her dead mom's corpse to even have a shot at saving coulson. and she does find a way to save him. but she has to ditch that to save the world. then fitz dies. AND THEN HER DAD DIES.

I remember a bit you posted positing that the whole point of Worm is that the correct choice of which of the Big Two superhero settings to live in is "none of them". I do kinda wonder: How do you think one would go about creating a superhero setting that doesn't kinda suck to live in, assuming such a thing is even possible/desirable (fictional settings that don't suck to live in are honestly rare)?
Astro City by Kurt Busiek I think got closest, sort of by the nature of the project- it's a multifaceted vignette-based look at the ups and downs of a superhero setting with a 100+year-long internal timeline, and therefore it's kind of inherently predicated on the idea that things are generally going to turn out all right on balance, in an anthropic principle sort of way. (And this is an attitude that's generally been adopted by the populace within the setting; one of the earliest issues involves a sequence where the residents of an apartment block set up a party on the roof to watch a giant galactus-type crisis situation, because they have no control over whether or not the heroes will be able to deal with it, but all things being equal it's a hell of a thing to see.)
Of course, many, many capes within the setting end up dead on the job or weighed down by the events of their past, but less in a way that feels like the story is trying to aggressively make a point about how dark the underlying conceit of superheroism is, and more in a way that if you took a birds-eye view of any subculture over a 100-year period, you'd obviously see a bunch of luminaries die or retire because that's just a really long period of time even before you get into the lifestyle risks.

While I still have Bane on my mind, I would like to propose the following AU: We increase chaos by moving Bane's 'Hey, Bruce I think we're brothers' arc from Gotham Knights to take place at the same time as Under the Red Hood.
So Bruce is over here getting terrorized by Jason when Bane shows up and is like 'yo, I think we're brothers'
Alternatively, Jason pulls his duffel bag full of heads gambit only instead of Batman and Nightwing showing up to confront him, Bane gets out of the passenger seat
Jason trying to have a dramatic confrontation with Bruce, but Bane is just there because he refused to leave. He doesn't know who Jason is or what this whole deal's about.
Bruce is having to simultaneously confront the fact that his son might have come back from the dead and the fact that Bane might be his half brother
He has the paternity test running on one lab bench and the jason dna test running on the other
I'm not sure what Jason's opinions on this are, but he probably has no idea who Bane is. Look, this mysterious brother of Batman wasn't in any of the files Talia gave him!
(He was, but it was is in the Knightfall file he didn't read underneath the plague and earthquake and joker last laugh and bruce getting arrested for murder files he also didn't read and the gang war file that he at least skimmed)
On a more serious note, I bet Dick and Tim and Barbara, etc think that Bruce about to go off the rails again because they came out of the gang war and Bruce is dealing poorly with the Jason stuff and also, he's hanging out with Bane????
idk. I just think this would make things worse in entertaining ways
