I have a list of ~900 albums from 2019 that I still want to eventually listen to / review [IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT ALERT]

For this project (already 125+ releases deep), which is just impossibly daunting and makes me head hurt. IDK how to streamline this process or is any “critic” out there really listening to “all” the good music? It’s impossible I guess... BUT needless to say, these have made this list from an even larger pool of music that I either listened to briefly and immediately dismissed or (gasp!) never even came across my radar (radar = many many music blogs I follow via RSS).

Anyway, because I’ll most likely never get to this (whatever this is, an Xgau parody or something)... Here is the list (please ignore some of my notations/typos):

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 413

I’ve been singing Jefferson’s “The emperor has no clothes.” line from Washington on Your Side all day. Because honestly, that’s basically how I feel about Outlander at this point. Obviously every season when the press tour rolls around the cast and crew are going to talk about how it’s their best season yet and yada yada talking point bullshit. And in the segments after each episode they’re obviously going to pat themselves on the back for being so fucking brilliant. But I have to ask, are they delusional and believe what they’re saying? Or are they self-aware enough to realize that they’ve been putting out a worse and worse product every year but they’re contractually obligated to only say good things about the show? (I’m not stupid, I know that regardless of what they really think about the show they’re putting out, they’re never actually going to say it’s not good. That’s not how this works.) Some, like Balfe, I think are aware that the show isn’t what it used to be. And some, like Matt and Toni, I really think believe they’re doing a good job.

But as long as they keep spouting off the same nonsense about how everything is awesome, a certain segment of the fandom will keep agreeing that the emperor’s new clothes are indeed amazing, while I’m just over here like uh, y’all realize he’s nekkid, right?

Anywho, I’m really looking forward to a very long hiatus.

As much as I tend to not like the title cards anymore, this one included, Otter Tooth being like oh fuck this white kid in his racist costume is valid af.

I do appreciate that they show the Mohawk playing lacrosse in this episode and in 4x12. Because as much as it’s associated with prep school white boys today, it was invented and played by Native American and First Nations tribes, including the Mohawk.

(I signed up to play lacrosse in high school thinking that girls’ lacrosse was like boys’ lacrosse, but it’s not. You can’t check or anything. Lame.)

These fuckers are really bad negotiators. Like hey, we *really* want this guy. Like we’re desperate to get this guy. We didn’t just give you the upper-est of upper hands in this negotiation. Nope.

Tehwahsehwke brushing off the stuff they brought to trade with as just trinkets for Roger gives me life.

Has Claire been wearing this stone all season? You’d think they would have shown her wearing it more or something. But why would they do that when it can just pop up again out of nowhere.

Also, like, why the fuck would you wear a stone you found by the skull you think belongs to a Native American ghost dude who was hatchet’ed in the back of the head to a Native American village. Like, sure she doesn’t know the connection yet, but like, seems like something you’d maybe want to leave at home.

Also who the fuck are you guys, Frasers, refusing to leave someone else’s village when asked? You’re in no position to make demands. I know you want Roger back for some reason that I will never understand, because he’s the worst (only partly being sarcastic), but you’re the fuckers who sold him away so... Just leave and come up with Plan B, don’t make everyone hate you on the way out.

Oh the irony that the racist af term is “Indian giver” when it’s the white folks who go back on their deals...

Murtz being indignant about Bree and Lord John’s engagement makes me mad all over again that we were robbed over his reaction to Jamie marrying Laoghaire.

They’re like really leaning into the benevolent slave owner bullshit, and it’s gross, tbh. Like Bree’s just totally chill being waited on by an enslaved person. This show is killing meee.

Claire making demands and Wahkatiiosta being like “bitch, please” gives me life. Like Claire, you fucking idiot, you’re really not in a position to make demands right now.

Otter Tooth really is a tragic figure. I’d say it’s weird to spend this much time on someone that’s already dead (Just to set up Donner? I’m assuming that’s why they’re doing it?), but honestly, giving the Mohawk something to do that’s not about white people is fine with me.

Really Claire, you have all these opinions about ghosts? Since when?

(Since eventually they need to explain Jamie’s ghost. So why weave in ghost-related mythology organically when you can randomly shoehorn it in with a line that makes everyone scratch their head.)

“Not one of my finer moments.” Understatement of the season, Bree. Seriously, wtaf. And putting in this meta line doesn’t make it better.

“Da told me I should forgive him.” I hate that she was doing things because someone told her she should instead of because she wanted to. Because, again, Bonnet doesn’t deserve forgiveness. Part of forgiving someone, imo, is that they need to be sorry for the thing that needs forgiving. And Bonnet is not. So fuck that guy, he shouldn’t be forgiven.

“I already have.” In this instance, Jamie at least admitted he fucked up and is trying to fix it, but that’s like the first time something like that has happened. And honestly, I’m looking forward to him continuing to try to be worthy of this forgiveness she’s granting him. Because if next season starts with them just being buddy buddy, I’m gonna roll my eyes a lot.

Uh, why *would* this Mohawk dude let you escape with Roger. He owes these white people nothing. Why on earth wouldn’t he raise the alarm. He’s not the bad guy here.

Oh good god it’s not even half over yet.

I should be feeling things about Jamie and Claire possibly being separated again, but the show has managed to make them so meh this season that I really can’t be bothered to give a fuck, tbh.

Also, like, we’ve seen them say goodbye like it might be forever so many times already that like it’s kind of losing its meaning if we don’t also see them being *together* like they’re on borrowed time. Which we haven’t this season.

I miss caring about Claire and Jamie. Make me care about them again, show. This season was supposed to be them building a life together and enjoying finally being married and settled and knowing that every minute together is precious because it’s one they never thought they’d have. And somehow the show instead made them secondary characters in their own story to the point where this moment isn’t even evoking a reaction from me.

Young Ian really hasn’t had much to do all season, but what he has been given has been good and I love him a lot. And major props to him for being like yeah, I fucked up, I’m owning it, I’m gonna apologize and I’m gonna be the one to stay. Take note, literally every other dude in this show, be more like Young Ian.

Although, man, as much as I love the growth Young Ian goes through in the books, it’s gonna be so... problematic, to put it lightly, to have a white kid cosplaying as a Mohawk for the rest of the series when we’ve never had a fully developed Mohawk character.

Murtagh’s whole speech to Jocasta can directly translated to our current trash fire of an administration not being able to grasp what the federal employees they furloughed were going through during the shutdown. But this isn’t a political show. Nope.

Yes, I know that this was all written and shot months ago. But discussing privilege and and using your privilege for good is also political.

Murtagh’s pretty chill about Jocasta owning people for someone who was indentured for years.

As great as Murcasta is as a ship name, I don’t ship it. I’m here for them being inappropriate fuckbuddies, but she’s a fucking slave owner and he’s a Regulator. So hard pass on going full Duncan Innes here.

Also it’s cute that the producers were like this is a brand new idea because in the books, Murtagh’s dead! It’s like guys, you don’t get originality points for giving a canon book plot line to a different character.

Also I swear to fuck, they’d better not do the Jocasta is secretly having a relationship with Ulysses. Because not only is that fucked up on its own, but now if she’s banging Murtz, it makes her even more garbage, because not only does she enslave people, and bangs someone she technically owns, but she’s also a cheater.

Also, is Jocasta only against sex outside of marriage for women who have never been married before? (And I specify women since Murtagh has never been married and she’s not giving him any shit...) Or is she only against it if it results in a pregnancy?

“Jenny will be totally cool with this. Yup. Jenny will totally get it and be absolutely fine with this whole situation.” Are you fucking kidding me?

Jamie deserves all of these punches, but Roger remains the worst.

The difference between Young Ian running the gauntlet and Roger running the gauntlet is striking. Young Ian knows that this is his one chance to prove himself to the Mohawk and he is not throwing away his shot.

Young Ian smiling when the Mohawk accept him is like the only thing in this episode that makes me feel things. Because like this kid is the youngest of a whole squad of siblings and has always been the awkward one who gets into shenanigans accidentally, so like it’s really nice to see him being accepted into a group on his own merits.

“Because she said terrible things and turned ye against me.” Weird way to say “because she told you the truth about how awful I am and made you realize that I am, in fact, the actual worst,” Roger.

He’s never going to apologize, is he. Of course not.

“How could you think such a thing?” “Well, you see, my daughter apparently doesn’t care enough about you to tell me anything about who you are. And you’re enough of a dick that her servant thought you were a rapist. Because, you *are* a dick. And I’m enough of an asshat that I sell into slavery first and never ask questions later because lol toxic masculinity is grand.”

“I left because she told me to go. She actually told me not to come in the first place. And I was an asshole to her in our own time. And then I was an asshole again to her in this time. And really I should just fuck all the way off because I’m the worst and she deserves better and has made it clear that she isn’t down for how I’m treating her. But nope. Why do that when we can forget she ever had any issues with me so I can play the victim card forever and then get welcomed back into her life no problem.”

“But even then, I came back for her. Even though, again, she made it clear she didn’t want me.”

I hate Roger so much. He is literally more worked up over the fact that it was fucking Bonnet who raped Bree and how Bonnet made him sail to Philly than he is about Bree being raped. What the actual fuck, bro.

“Somewhere between here and Fraser’s Ridge. You know, casually somewhere on the eastern seaboard. Really narrows it down.”

“I don’t think you can go through with a child.” They keep saying that but like they have no proof of it? Are they really just saying it so much to set up them doing just that in season six?

In this instant, Frank 2.0 is worse than the OG twatwaffle. Don’t worry, Frank is still the actual worst. He’s an emotionally abusive fuckwad and I hate him with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. But Roger here isn’t dealing with someone who left and fell in love with someone else and is having the child of the love of her life. He’s dealing with someone who was violently raped and is choosing to keep the child and love it on its own merits. And he’s fucking hesitating about whether or not he can live with that?! Are you fucking kidding me? Go fuck yourself, Roger. And then fuck all the way off. Because Bree already deserves better, but the fact that you need to fucking think about it, like she’s somehow not worthy of your love because of what she went through, is fucking irredeemable.

I. Hate. Roger.

ALSO! Can we fucking talk for a second about how they’re making Bree’s rape and pregnancy about fucking Roger? Not omg is she ok, not omg how is she coping, not omg is she getting the care and support she needs. No, none of that. Instead we get fucking “are you, a man, ok with this.”

But since we’re apparently making this all about good ol’ Rog. He literally two fucking minutes ago called Bree his wife. Like in sickness and health, richer or poorer, no matter fucking what, married. I know he didn’t fucking think he was going to stay in the past forever or to become a parent in this way, but guess what? LIFE IS FUCKING FULL OF SURPRISES. SHIT DOESN’T ALWAYS GO ACCORDING TO PLAN. YOU WANT TO SAY YOU’RE MARRIED TO BREE? THEN NUT UP OR SHUT UP, MISTER “I WANT ALL OF YOU.”

I HATE THIS FUCKING SHOW SO MUCH.

“And we will choose his birthday wisely, but ye can be sure the lad was born in wedlock.” Oh fuck off, Jocasta.

Thank fuck this season is over because the are they/aren’t they married whiplash about the handfasting is annoying af. Literally one scene ago Roger was saying she’s his wife and now they’re lying about birthdays because she’s not married.

Ok this is shallow but did they decide that Sophie could wear makeup this season and Caitriona could only have the bare minimum to try to make the age gap seem bigger? Because honestly, the difference in their faces is quite noticeable.

Unpopular opinion alert, but I’m totally fine with Claire and Jamie not being there for the baby’s birth. I mean, I’m kind of sad Claire wasn’t there. But she can be there for the next one. But like, Jamie hasn’t earned being with Bree in such a personal moment. Their relationship isn’t at that level.

“We told him everything. But since he’s the worst and loves the *idea* of you and not *you*, the truth was too much for his imaginary version of your relationship so he bounced. Like an asshole.”

We’re gonna be stuck with Bonnet for two more seasons, aren’t we. Ugh. They could have just killed him and been done with it, because honestly he’s not interesting enough to keep around, but the more they keep talking about how he died in the prison, the more it’s basically guaranteed that he’s going to show back up...

I’m glad Claire and Bree get a moment alone, tbh. But Bree will be “surrounded by family” at the Ridge? Really? Because pretty sure it’ll just be you and Jamie now. Since Ian is gone. And Roger went AWOL. And who knows where Murtz is gonna go...

They really love using no dialogue dinners instead of doing actual work on the characters’ relationships with each other this season, don’t they. Le sigh.

Cool that everyone is super down with Jocasta now. Because clearly ep. 4x02 didn’t happen.

Oh ffs. The literally did a running toward each other and meeting in the middle with a hug shot. Fucking kill me.

Ok, so Bree and Roger had a kind of flirty friendship that was basically just based around them both knowing about time travel. And then they sort of did the long distance relationship thing. And then Roger proposed in the most awful way possible, refused to listen to Bree’s very reasonable response, slut-shamed her for being ok with sex before marriage even though he himself had had sex before, was a dick to her when she tried to have another conversation with him, and then he followed her into the past when she expressly said not to and implied that she wasn’t planning to stay in the past permanently. Then we’re somehow expected to just accept that she’s over all of her reservations about marriage and Roger being the worst when she agrees to handfast with him, but then he’s the worst again and she rightly tells him to fuck off. And then he can’t decide if he can accept a woman he “loves” after she’s been raped?! And now we’re supposed to think that they belong together and should get the cheesiest, most cliché shot of all time? Are you fucking kidding me, show? How the fuck are we supposed to ship this?

Roger is the literal worst.

This isn’t earned at all and I hate it.

Also, wtf is up with this ending? Why not end it with Bree and Roger going back into the house?

Although, Claire’s face when Murcasta are forehead fucking is my everything.

Like there’s no reason to end on a cliffhanger that’s not even really a cliffhanger? Because like, we already know that Tryon was eventually going to call in this favor from Jamie? We’ve known this since they accepted the land grant? And like, the tension between Jamie and Murtagh over being a Regulator is already established and clearly Jamie isn’t going to actually kill Murtagh?

This is dumb. This show is bad. Thank fuck it’s Droughlander.

candy epilogue , ah shit! here we go again...

instead of reading it in a one nighter during a weekend like i wanted, i decided i wanted to pass parasitology this year and studied instead (i passed btw, oh and NEVER GO SWIMING IN A LAKE/SWEET WATER WITOUT COVERING YOU NOSETRILS OR YOUR BRAIN IS GOING TO BE DEVOURED BY AMOEBAS)

it took me 1 day (karkat’s b day it seems, i only remember 413 and the others i trust the fandom to remind me, also it seems corporate overlord vizmedia docent believe in homestuck magic numbers to make upd8s, no matter the fandom will do stuff anyway)to read the entire thing, honestly it feels longer than meat but i cant tell if it was actually longer.

[spoilers]

i was expecting some things (because i got spoiled with memes/fix-it comics) but the most basic thing i expected wasnt there, i thought that caliope was the narrator of the non canon earth c narrative, that we would get an unexpected twist, the color of the letters of narration would change to red to reveal dead caliope as the master of narrative of these universe, but that didnt happened, every interaction, opinion and personality trait was untainted (at the very least, it was untainted after jonh chose to stay, its posible dirk was manipulating jane and jake for his agenda before jonh fucked his plans.) its very clear if we look at how jake behaves in candy compared to meat, then again candy has timeskips and meat docent, so maybe in the future of meat eart c, jake will also, in the end do the right thing and save his son from jane.

once again no one acted ooc, just acted in the worst posible outcome,but we cant be sure about this because of how bizzare everyone is acting , and it docent help that our narrator is jonh in most of the story, its not until the talk with roxy that we can start to understand this, he thinks no ones actions are real or of their own will, roxy proves its not true. however i still dont understand where does alive caliope stands in all of this, at first i thouhgt this was her master plan, but as the story progressed things went to shit and she didnt seem bothered by it, so she wasnt pulling any strings at all.

OH and thank you whoever wrote this for making 50% of all of jade’s tag in rule 34 canon. im sure most of the fandom wanted that specific part of her anatomy to be adressed in the story for reals (i had to take deep breath everytime it was brought up to avoid either laughing like crazy or ragequiting)

in the end i noticed that, you can read meat without reading candy for it to make sence in a narrative point of view, bad things happen, villian is revealed, more bad things happen, heroes gather up to defeat villian, story ends with a sequel expected. (with the exception of the afterscript)

in candy things happened that make no sence unless you have read meat first, if you see both epilogues as one singuler story everthing makes more sence however. but also candy ends kinda...halfway there, we know lord english is about to fall in the middle of a human-troll war and that dead caliope will deafet him in order to cross into meat/canon earth c to stop dirk, but just like int the animation before the homestuck credits, all of that is left for the readers to guess.

also you cant convince me that holo-obama wasnt an invention of dirk to fuck up dave, everything in that part screamed “DIRK’s EVIL PLAN FOR DAVE INCASE HE DIES” so yeah i dont know where he stands in the sence of against dirk or with dirk, but i think he will be with dirk most likely

also i hope the new kids get to play a role later on.

so to end this i have to say..uh...FUCK GAMZEE AND JANE?? I GUESS?

Hazards and Waste

There are numerous chemical, biological, natural, and cultural hazards we can suffer from on earth. These events create hazardous waste, and with that comes ways to figuring out how to deal with it. This week’s chapters discuss how to handle hazards and waste, be it toxic or not. In addition to hazards that are man-made and natural, there are lifestyle choices that also have a large effect on human health.

Depending on these choices, humans' life expectancy and disease risk changes. Some of the other major factors that affect our health are poverty and gender. These factors can diminish human health because people in poverty are more exposed to unsanitary drinking water that carries diseases. Malnutrition is also more common and there is an increased susceptibility to normal nonfatal infectious diseases (Miller and Spoolman 427). Furthermore, biological hazards are expressed in different ways such as: bacteria, viruses, parasites, transmissible and non transmissible diseases. Strives in this area include technology and advances in medicine. “According to the World Health Organization, during the last decade vaccines have saved more than 10 million lives” (410). However, in the current pandemic we are seeing the negation of a significant percentage of the population that does not want to take the vaccine that can potentially bring back a sense of normality. This puts strains in surpassing biological hazards. Another strain for overcoming/suppressing biological hazards is climate change. The increased use of carbon dioxide has raised temperature, creating more space for mosquito-borne diseases to spread more easily, as these animals thrive in warmer climates (411). There are other significant viral killers throughout history: the influenza/flu virus, HIV, and Hepatitis B virus. These are viruses that have spread all over the world and have had their toll on the population’s lives (413). Some of the ways to prevent these viruses from spreading and having such an effect on the world are the following: “Increase research on tropical diseases and vaccines, reduce poverty and malnutrition, improve drinking water quality, reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics, sharply reduce use of antibiotics on livestock, immunize children against major viral diseases, provide oral rehydration for diarrhea victims, conduct global campaign to reduce HIV/AIDS” (417). These solutions or approaches are largely achievable but require the help of governments and organizations.

Chemical hazards can cause cancer, mutations, and birth defects (418). For these reasons it is important to prevent and have control over toxic chemicals that are put out for the world to consume. Some of these chemicals are: arsenic, mercury, pesticides, and lead. Chemical hazards are determined through estimating toxicity. These methods can be unethical at times since they use animals for testing. These animals can suffer and even die during these tests, can take up to two to five years, are costly, and involve hundreds of animals. Alternatives to animal testing are running computer simulations and using individual animal cells rather than animals as a whole (425). However, it is argued by scientists and economists that the best way to move away from all types of hazards is to apply the precautionary principle and diverge from using substances that could harm the population and the environment.

Humans take a lot of space just as is, and the waste that we produce is also significant. We produce solid waste and hazardous waste. The ways for dealing with these are waste management, waste reduction, integrated waste management, burying waste, burning waste, detoxification, and storing hazardous waste (541, 549, 554). All of these methods require a lot of materials and involve complicated processes, and some of these methods have proven to be unsustainable in the long run. We have a limited amount of space to put our waste. What is proposed we should do instead is to reduce, reuse, and recycle/compost more of our waste rather than incinerate and bury it (542).

Figure 21.7 (Miller and Spoolman 524)

It has resulted in a challenge transitioning to safer, more efficient practices because of costs, subsidies, different types of resins in plastics, unrecycleable materials, and the mixing of materials in bins. Solid and hazardous waste has to be dealt with better.

Turning to a low-waste economy will not be easy but it must be done. Some ways to do this are: citizen action, international treaties, encouraging reuse and recycling, and spreading awareness. Citizen action has accomplished demanding government to pass laws because of campaigns like “Not In Anyone’s Back Yard” (NIABY), and international treaties regulate what countries do with their waste and decrease the use of harmful materials (558). To encourage these practices, governments have to subsidize and give tax breaks for recycling and reusing (559). These are only a few examples of what can be done worldwide and locally to spark change in the ways we handle waste.

Essentially, we must come to understand that just because things are out of sight, they should not be out of mind. Waste in landfills, rivers, oceans, and lakes still affects our ways of living. The pollutants will reach our way of life eventually and can have a large impact on the environment. It is essential to move aways from purchasing and creating these single-use products and using harmful materials and chemicals.

Question: How can we prevent the plastics/different materials being mixed so that its recycling is not affected?

i just remembered i made a fanfiction for homestuck back in 2014. for a creative writing section of english class. with the prompt of using voicemail as the focus.

i recall most people made serious stories while here i go telling a more humourous story.

Reach you later

*BEEEEP* *BEEEEP* *BEEEEEP*

[Hello this is Rose, please leave your message here after the tone so I can reach you later]

“Hello? Uh, hi Rose. Yeah this is this is John. I’ve never really called anyone. Now that I think about it I’ve only ever texted people, you’re special! Hah. Ok so, the reason I’m calling you is, oh wait you didn’t answer. Ok I’ll put this into that voicemail thing. Another thing I’m new at, I’m growing up in the world! Joking, anyway. So this is really important, so I’d like to call you in real time. Can’t really see you, as I’m busy in my little slice of the earth” [VOICEMAIL SENT AT 8:00 PM 13TH APRIL EST]

[Sup, you’ve reached my voicemail instead of the real John! I’ll reach you later, just send me a message after the beep!]

“Oh, dear, John you could’ve had the decency to respect a phone call from me. This sounded really urgent. Congratulations on learning stuff I guess. I feel so honored. What exactly are you even doing in America any ways? The colleges are not as good as here in Europe, or so one of my online friends who actually lives in America always claims. I don’t think we can actually call each other, I doubt our schedules can match” [VOICEMAIL SENT AT 1:00 AM 14TH APRIL EST]

[Hello this is rose, please leave your message here after the tone so I can reach you later]

“Man, I forgot what I wanted to call you for. Maybe it was something about wanting to share this new game I found, but it’s glitchy and stuff. Forget about it. And yeah I’m sorry. I forgot about the wonders of this strange phenomenon called time zones! Didn’t I tell you about what I wanted to major in? Programming! America is basically where all the important computer stuff is at, I’ll be rich! Bet you’re using an iPhone and on it recently searched on google and followed a link to Wikipedia or the like. And who’s your friend? I might like to meet him, or her.” [VOICEMAIL SENT AT 7:00 PM 14TH APRIL EST]

[Sup, you’ve reached my voicemail instead of the real John! I’ll reach you later, just send me a message after the beep!]

“John! I was worried that you might have gotten into some serious trouble, like you got robbed, or expelled. Not something as benign as a video game that you recommend! *sigh*, you were always a jokester, like father like son as that saying goes I suppose. My mum has always said that your dad always was of a nonchalant tone. Wait, who do you want to meet? You do know our phones don’t give us a copy of our calls of course. Oh well, at least you know what you’re doing jobwise. I’m busy balancing this small vet job while studying chemistry, it is not fun.” [VOICEMAIL SENT AT 2:00 AM 15TH APRIL EST]

[Hello this is rose, please leave your message here after the tone so I can reach you later]

“I forgot who I asked for, sorry. Our times don’t really match. I can still show you the game sometime. It’s called Urbn, it is spelled U-R-B-N. it’s trendy like that. We really need to get a better for of contact, I don’t know why but my phone plan didn’t give me a good amount of texting. We should get one of those messaging things online, instant messaging I’m pretty sure it’s called. I hardly ever have my phone on me, but it is literally my future job to be on the computer all the time.” [VOICEMAIL SENT AT 8:00 PM 15TH APRIL EST]

[Sup, you’ve reached my voicemail instead of the real John! I’ll reach you later, just send me a message after the beep!]

“I’ll remember to look up Urbn later, with a name like that it has to be good. And about some type of instant messaging, I have actually been using a type of messaging for a while! The messaging thing I have been using is called Pesterchat, un-trendily spelled as it sounds. When you download it find me, my username is spelled R-O-S-E-T-T-A-4-1-3. Lucky I was only the 413th Rosetta to have an account on it. We should be able to figure out a good time to chat. You know how a while back you said you would like to meet one of my American friends? I have been messaging him for a while, his name is Dave, and I believe he said he lives in New York, where are you studying at? Lets finally just talk on pesterchat, it’ll be much easier than doing this long term back and forth.” [VOICEMAIL SENT AT 12:00 16TH APRIL EST]

{Pesterchat messaging opened on 11:00 PM 17th April EST]

JohnTheNerd: Hey, Rose. You got this message?

Rosetta413: Hi John. While this is a good time for me, is this fine with you?

JohnTheNerd: Over here it is 11, but I can manage with this time. Youve checked out Urbn yet? An update has been scheduled for some time this week to fix the more broken parts.

Rosetta413: Ive been reading about it, sometime later I’ll give you Dave’s phone number.

JohnTheNerd: cool, I’ll reach him later.

Rosetta413: I need to leave for a second, I’ll talk to you later.

JohnTheNerd: ok, later.

Wednesday, 20 February 1833

OUR GALAXY MAY BE AT THE CENTER OF SEVEN CONCENTRIC SPHERICAL SHELLS OF GALAXIES

By Jake Hebert, Ph.D. A fundamental Big Bang assumption is that there are no special places or directions in the universe. However, even observations made by Big Bang scientists call this “cosmological principle” into question.1-3 This assumption requires that neither our Milky Way galaxy nor Earth can be in any way special. According to Scripture, however, Earth is very special. God spent five days preparing Earth but only one day creating the heavenly bodies (Genesis 1:1-31). Earth is the place where the Lord Jesus Christ became a man, dwelt among us, bore our sins on the cross, and rose from the dead for our justification (Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Given the centrality of Earth to God’s plan for the ages, it would not be surprising if it, or at least our galaxy, were located in a special place in the cosmos. According to Scripture...Earth is very special. For this reason, creation scientists have long been interested in observations that might confirm this. Both secular and creation scientists have claimed quantized redshift data show that the distribution of nearby galaxies is not random but that galaxies are preferentially located at discrete distances from Earth.4-7 This would imply our Milky Way galaxy is near the center of a series of spherical, concentric shells of galaxies. Because such a “chance” distribution of galaxies is extremely improbable, this phenomenon, if real, would be powerful evidence for special creation and against the Big Bang model.8 However, this is a stupendous claim, and we would prefer not to simply take published reports at face value. Unfortunately, some earlier creation studies that seemed to confirm this result failed to take into account “selection effects” that could bias the results.9 In 2012, ICR scientists began, in conjunction with other creation scientists, an effort to see if we could confirm this claim with our own analysis of the data. Although preliminary results did show an apparent series of concentric galaxy shells surrounding our Milky Way galaxy,10 this apparent pattern was not pronounced enough to rule out an illusion caused by selection effects.11 However, this may not be the final word on the issue. Our work so far has given us a much better understanding of the pitfalls in this kind of research.11-13 More data and a more sophisticated analysis might change this outcome, but for now we haven’t been able to confirm this result for ourselves. Given the centrality of Earth to God’s plan for the ages, it would not be surprising if it, or at least our galaxy, were located in a special place in the cosmos. So, although there are very good reasons to question the cosmological principle, we caution our fellow creationists against making strong claims regarding quantized redshifts. This intriguing possibility is definitely worth further study, but for now it seems the only evidence for it lies in the original published secular reports. Hence, it would be prudent for creationists to hold this idea loosely, viewing it as a hypothesis rather than as a confirmed result. Original Article from ICR.ORG References Thomas, B.

2 meta combo: Bellamy/baton + leadership themes after s4

I. Some disorganized thoughts on Bellamy and the hollow baton…

So I had a particular reading of the presence of the bottle prop in the end scene of 413 and didn’t think about it again afterwards, but this week I’ve read a lot of talk about what it means. So I decided to spill my reaction into one giant post. This is my general contribution to the broad discussion of the Baton as (one of several) symbolic prop for Bellamy’s character state. FYI it should go without saying that anything I write is in the context of being my opinion, but also I speak in declarative sentences a lot because I tend to believe my opinions pretty confidently. To the point: I don’t think the bottle is empty bc Bellamy is getting a fresh start.* The straightforward meaning is this: the bottle of liquor is drained when Bellamy gets to it because, as a symbol of power, it’s literally and metaphorically empty. Circumstances have rendered it sad and meaningless. A hollow consolation. It’s like… a really explicit piece of visual irony.

((* fyi, the positive hopeful element in that scene is not the bottle, it’s Raven’s steadfastness + Bellamy honoring Clarke’s memory through survival.))

Just going off of a lot of initial fandom reactions I’ve read on tumblr, some fans were so excited about him getting this baton at the finale that they missed that it was empty. And now that folks are discussing it being empty, there’s like this desire to see it still as a wholly good thing. To hold onto that excitement. Which I totally understand, because it seems like such a romantic idea. That he could inherit the thing that Jaha and all the Chancellors in history had. There’s appeal in that. But… he didn’t, and it’s not–emptiness is not a positive symbol in western media, guys. The bottle is empty because the Baton is a hollow dead object now. No more chancellors, no more Jaha, no more Ark ambitions of old. It represents a past dream that is out of sight of the current characters. He gets to a place where this potential symbol of leadership is in reach, and what’s it to him? This symbol that meant so much to Jaha has been reduced to a passing curiosity by a window. It’s not part of his future. Bellamy can’t preserve it and he can’t even drink it, just like he can’t act on the future of the rest of his people when he’s stuck up in space. His family is out of reach and the girl he loved is gone and the promise of a fresh start on Earth (written! right there on the bottle!) turned out to be an empty promise. They never had a chance… the world was gonna end in 8 months regardless of his and Clarke’s choices. This show is so fucking sad you guys. This is why I made myself cry writing about Bellamy in the Ark after I watched the finale.

The Baton is a piece of visual irony because the bottle now represents the hollowness (the ending) of the thing it used to represent in s1. They could have had Bellamy pick up any prop that had a positive and hopeful indication of his role, but they chose to give him the saddest and darkest prop they could. It’s marginally less depressing than a handgun or a photo. He picks it up but because it’s empty for him. (unlike the friend/family standing beside him, who together represent the true hope and the final image of the delinquents’ fortitude.) That empty hollow bottle is the fragility of life and the tenuousness of survival in the face of a burning fireball of nature fucking you over (note: also a big whopping symbol visible in the same shot.) It’s the UNFAIRNESS of everything that has happened to these kids since the show started–they tried so hard and got this far and the bottle (the dream of Earth)–is *fucking empty*. They never had a chance on that world. It was always going to end.

[read a lot more below the cut, including meta #2.]

In terms of leadership this is the irony of the hollow Baton: Bellamy, who tried so hard to be a leader who was good and strong, and struggled to find his way, has finally has grown into a person who has a more balanced leadership style. This was foreshadowed in him letting go of Octavia and thematically cemented by him letting Clarke go in 413. Thus meaning he is finally “ready” by The 100’s morbid storytelling standards, finally balanced. Except now he’s faced with a situation where the ONLY thing he actually is in charge of is 6 people in a ghost-filled space bucket. Ding ding ding, it’s irony time! Whoo. XD …Meanwhile the world burns below and his love sacrificed herself…brings us to the other half of the irony, where i agree with pretty much the whole shipdom: they never got to have that drink. Because he didn’t carpe diem, didn’t open himself to the person he loves (thanks @velvet-tread). The universe is having one sick laugh at Bellamy Blake in 413, visually epitomized in that bottle.

I know my dramatic self has repeated this several times, but for real now ok— the Baton is literally empty bc it’s metaphorically empty. Drained of purpose. The old ways are no good, they’re surviving on their own, together. New generation. What matters here and now is that Bellamy and his friends will fight to stay alive as long as they can, even as hope burns away. They have each other and they have time so they’re going to stick together and try to survive. But what does the symbol of the Baton mean to that equation? To their future? Nothing–it’s empty. He’s holding it, accepting leadership, even as it’s a working like a visual pun.

ALL THAT BEING SAID---I do think it's fair to say that it being empty has little to no meaning aside from the fact that it was already drunk in an earlier episode and they needed to keep continuity. In that case, the only symbol that matters is the fact that it says "BATON" on it. Which is legit. BUT if we're going to speculate that its emptiness has meaning, then I'm going to say it definitely has a tragic and ironic meaning.

II. That age old leadership contest this fandom is obsessed with? After 4 seasons I think the point of The 100 is that it’s futile and nobody ‘wins’ bc it’s actually an endless struggle of self that C,B,K,A and J all wrestle with, where the “person” they’re competing with is their own failures until they individually learn to be wiser. That’s why the person who ended up in charge was the young interloper who wasn’t even a player til now….bc our main politically-driven characters aren’t in the story to win the leadership prize in the eyes of fandom, they’re in the story to grow.

I’m gonna go right to the explicit symbols of leadership in 413 and point out this: as of 413’s ending, Clarke’s *not* in charge of the future of their people and Bellamy is *not* in charge of the future of their people–Octavia is. While the show gave Clarke a heroic “death” and gave Bellamy friendship + an empty liquor bottle of used up dreams, Octavia was given the clothes / headpiece of the commander and stepped out to make a speech in front of the last of humanity. She has the support of the former leaders and the faith of the remaining majority. ((Whether you like Octavia as commander or not, that is what’s happening on the show right now. FWIW, I was hoping all season that it’d end with Indra.)) While Octavia is probably gonna be spending 6 years off screen going through what Clarke and Bellamy have gone through the last 4 seasons (i.e. emotional tests of being in power), Bellamy and Clarke both have a *reprieve* of leadership. AND ISN’T THAT KIND OF AMAZING? Bellamy only has to be strong and protective for six of his friends–that small team stuff is right up his wheelhouse. He doesn’t have to make decisions of mass death that cause him a season and a half of self-recrimination and doubt. Likewise, Clarke only has to be strong and protective for one person–she doesn’t have to make those mass death choices that cause her to break down crying or have horrific nightmares. She can love one person, unreservedly, without being torn apart by disparate loyalties.

One of the major themes for all the main characters on this show (except Octavia, who is on a different track) has been “How do I learn be a good leader?“ Well, I think 413 wrapped that up with a pretty bow–if the “bow” is the head/heart convo, Clarke’s choice to sacrifice herself, the Baton, and Octavia’s commander wardrobe. Honestly I could make a whole separate and much longer post about leadership as a journey for Clarke, Bellamy, Abby, Kane, and Jaha (guest starring Lexa and Roan as static roadmarks), but not today. I’ll just summarize and say that I think the last 4 seasons have been about the maturation process of Clarke and Bellamy’s leadership skills, starting as people who have the traits but not the wisdom/practice. Then pile on 4 seasons of triumphs and mistakes. By 413, Bellamy’s maturation process ends in letting go of attachment and Clarke’s maturation process ends in self sacrifice (foreshadowed by her taking the nightblood in 408).

I really really hope that the show uses the timeline to age up the characters in a way that the writers move on from this leadership question. That journey is done–Clarke, Bellamy, Kane, and Abby have all gone through a lot. When we meet them again, I don’t want to see them question their decisions every episode. Let them own their choices and move forward!! They’re grown-ups now omg. Give them all new dilemmas please.

If this is really a reboot for the show and for the characters then let’s tell a new story. “What will we do to survive?” is always gonna be the center of the series but I hope the writers approach it in a new way, that it’s not about the toll of constantly escalating power. That journey is done. It’s been told, and by the end of s4 our favorites have all grown and changed as a result of it. When the survivors emerge from the bunker neither Clarke nor Bellamy will be in charge–so I hope the show takes this opportunity to try new things for their characters. For example, explore the drama of small group politics. Explore family in a way that isn’t just about conflict. Explore discovering love again when everything you used to understand about your loved one has changed. Explore new people and new alliances and new tests. Let’s see ADVENTURE again.

By s5, Clarke and Bellamy are free of the agonies of traditional leadership, now responsible only to their small family clusters. We’ve never seen them this separate from group obligation. I want to see what kind of people that reprieve has made them. Please @the100writers, show us the characters growing new directions.

Wait a second. Oheck it out. 357.  358.  359. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! 360. - Wow. 361.  362.  363. I've never seen them this close. 364.  365.  366. They know what it's like 367. outside the hive. 368.  369.  370. Yeah, but some don't come back. 371.  372.  373. - Hey, Jocks! 374. - Hi, Jocks! 375.  376.  377. You guys did great! 378.  379.  380. You're monsters! 381. You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! 382.  383.  384. - I wonder where they were. 385. - I don't know. 386.  387.  388. Their day's not planned. 389.  390.  391. Outside the hive, flying who knows 392. where, doing who knows what. 393.  394.  395. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen 396. Jock. You have to be bred for that. 397.  398.  399. Right. 400.  401.  402. Look. That's more pollen 403. than you and I will see in a lifetime. 404.  405.  406. It's just a status symbol. 407. Bees make too much of it. 408.  409.  410. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it 411. and the ladies see you wearing it. 412.  413.  414. Those ladies? 415. Aren't they our cousins too? 416.  417.  418. Distant. Distant. 419.  420.  421. Look at these two. 422.  423.  424. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. 425. - Let's have fun with them. 426.  427.  428. It must be dangerous 429. being a Pollen Jock. 430.  431.  432. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me 433. against a mushroom! 434.  435.  436. He had a paw on my throat, 437. and with the other, he was slapping me! 438.  439.  440. - Oh, my! 441. - I never thought I'd knock him out. 442.  443.  444. What were you doing during this? 445.  446.  447. Trying to alert the authorities. 448.  449.  450. I can autograph that. 451.  452.  453. A little gusty out there today, 454. wasn't it, comrades? 455.  456.  457. Yeah. Gusty. 458.  459.  460. We're hitting a sunflower patch 461. six miles from here tomorrow. 462.  463.  464. - Six miles, huh? 465. - Barry! 466.  467.  468. A puddle jump for us, 469. but maybe you're not up for it. 470.  471.  472. - Maybe I am. 473. - You are not! 474.  475.  476. We're going 0900 at J-Gate. 477.  478.  479. What do you think, buzzy-boy? 480. Are you bee enough? 481.  482.  483. I might be. It all depends 484. on what 0900 means. 485.  486.  487. Hey, Honex! 488.  489.  490. Dad, you surprised me. 491.  492.  493. You decide what you're interested in? 494.  495.  496. - Well, there's a lot of choices. 497. - But you only get one. 498.  499.  500. Do you ever get bored 501. doing the same job every day? 502.  503.  504. Son, let me tell you about stirring. 505.  506.  507. You grab that stick, and you just 508. move it around, and you stir it around. 509.  510.  511. You get yourself into a rhythm. 512. It's a beautiful thing. 513.  514.  515. You know, Dad, 516. the more I think about it, 517.  518.  519. maybe the honey field 520. just isn't right for me. 521.  522.  523. You were thinking of what, 524. making balloon animals? 525.  526.  527. That's a bad job 528. for a guy with a stinger. 529.  530.  531.

You're going 540. into honey. Our son, the stirrer! 541.  542.  543. - You're gonna be a stirrer? 544. - No one's listening to me! 545.  546.  547. Wait till you see the sticks I have. 548.  549.  550. I could say anything right now. 551. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! 552.  553.  554. Let's open some honey and celebrate! 555.  556.  557. Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. 558. Shave my antennae. 559.  560.  561. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get 562. a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! 563.  564.  565. I'm so proud. 566.  567.  568. - We're starting work today! 569. - Today's the day. 570.  571.  572. Oome on! All the good jobs 573. will be gone. 574.  575.  576. Yeah, right. 577.  578.  579.

I know you are team confession but I really think we getting a kiss, I have this feeling, B and E were shooting together 15 january in UD without the rest of the cast include the adults bcs they finished in january 8 Ian words, and I think they are not gonna be separated by the end bellarke is gonna end together maybe in becca's bunker? the youth inert in the earth or something like that and then that cosmic adam and eve I don't think is all random, canon is coming how? we'll see.

I’m still not sold on a canon kiss yet. I think it depends on what we see in the trailer for 413 and the 412.

Billionaire's Club

Chicken tops the global population of about 50 Billion among Macro Organisms, followed by Human population 7.8 B, and then Sheep and Pigs of about a Billion each. Rest of all mammals including Donkeys are in Millions or in thousands or in Hundreds. A ll those species in Billionaire’s club has an accelerated exponential growth rate under the influence of Human Thinking and Intervention.

Humans are strategizing for higher productivity, higher growth for themselves and the species they consume to outnumber other species on natural growth. With the present Global population of 7.8 Billion, the population density stands out to be roughly 50 ( 50 people/square Km.). India tops the world’s population density. It is roughly 413 (413 people/sq.km.), about 8x to 9 times the global density, 40x to 50 times the average natural population of other species. An alarming discovery is that It may most likely touch 2 Billion mark by the year 2054 with the present growth rate of 1.2%. Every living creature when it exhales releases significant amount of heat. If we just measure all the heat of the Billionaire’s Club (7.8 Billion humans and Billions of domesticated animals), they generate approximately 20 peta Watts of Heat. Apart from generating unavoidable heat of ~20 peta Watts of heat, they are generating lots and lots of heat burning fossil fuel. Human Population check and shifting to Plant based diets can help the globe have desired Climate Change. I think populous countries should bench mark their population densities to global population density to limit themselves for optimal natural resources consumption, less damaging mother Earth, lower carbon emissions, heating the globe and make Climate conducive for people and all other creatures to live in peace, liberty, abundance and in harmony with Nature.
