AO3 forever!
Nice link round-up 👍🏻
Thanks for sharin', man 😉
As, ever too much ground!
For now...
I don't trust NASA to divert an asteroid unless... They have Bruce Willis aboard!
Yippee-ki-ya-space-motherfucker!
Oh, one thing. I agree entirely with your earlier post about the death of the "Third" World. Your piece didn't tell me anything I didn't know (though many don't) but it did put it very, very well. People more important than me in my shed in Cheshire ought to read it.
It reminded me of something I've been pondering. I think age gaps are dissolving similarly. About 15 years ago I saw Blondie for the first time - a band at their height about the same time I was starting primary school. The age range at the Manchester Apollo was stunning.
Alas, that's largely still just cultural age. I wish my hips would still agree with me (currently) streaming Lady Gaga.
It's always been a pet peeve of mine when the photos of the movie stars in a movie poster don't align with their names. I guess I am OCD about that.
On another note, my gun control proposal would be that no unmarried male below the age of 25 can be allowed to purchase a firearm, since the overwhelming majority of these mass shootings tend to be carried out by single males who seem incapable of forming positive romantic relationships with women. They are emotionally stunted immature, and their repeated failures make them angry and frustrated and wanting to hurt the world that they feel does not treat them fairly.
"Bodice rippers" I just find that term funny. I do like my romance novels though.
I had no idea of AO3! And it's true that Jstor charges for its services. I just didn't know how MUCH they made. And Zionist Satanists control America and doomer Russia? Who knew? I hope Ross Douthat is right...
And I should have suspected that high traffic was due to you.
XOXO
