with Orion's sword the hunter arose
and conquered the world with fury and grace
in him was I born
in him shall I die
in him shall I lose name, station and face

corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
could it be it's the same as the last
swear I seen your face elsewhere before
just as familiar as a bottle and a glass
hey darlin'! sleepin' on the blacktop
hey darlin'! runnin' through the trees honey
hey darlin'! leavin' for the next town
less'n my sense catches up with me

you can sing “Cthulhu” in the “Gigantor” theme song

I get to go home soon.

Really would like a cigarette.

I’m looking forward to not listening to show tunes for a while after this

Remember, it’s just discomfort. It doesn’t need to be anything more to suck big red baboon butts.

Waiting for dinner at my folks’ place. Waiting. Waiting. It’s being not a terrible visit which means I merely would like to go home. Getting to do anything this evening other than get baked has disappeared fast enough to see the red shift.

My father, the never-a-fan-of-Star-Wars-but-liked-Ep-IV, finds that he keeps parsing the name of the popular spinoff as “The Malodorian,” and we agree the show is probably not about a bounty hunter with terrible BO.

It’s a little like how TERFs hate the idea someone else might get their special claim at identity. It hits just the wrong spot in their egos. It’s a little like how telling me I’m white or not a real minority is a bad spot in *my* ego (except having PoCs merely *survive* doesn’t hit that insecurity).

Tbh I think part of the association and sheer hate is drag hits only *some* of the dissonance as transition; a trans woman suggests by merely existing that gender isn’t an immutable truth. But the drag queen suggests not just gender isn’t immutable truth, but a JOKE. That an over the top performance doesn’t really say much about actual gender and a huge F150, firearms and exaggerated heterosexuality isn’t too different from a huge wig, huge heels and huge falsies.

*settles into stance, foil at the ready* so we meet at last, Don Miguel Burrito!

Diane, the sleeper has awakened 🥧☕️

in the two standard years that followed, Mua'dib and the Fremen brought spice production on Arrakis to a standstill. Fearing for his life, Rabban tried to keep this fact from his uncle the Baron. Paul and Chani's love grew.

*very Pink Floyd chords*

whoa WHOA this arrangement of Toto's soundtrack is out of order because they were just at the fall of House Atreides and now they've got the part where the Baron's at the dermatologist.

THE plan. Feyd. Rabban. Go quickly. No-one must ever know of the Baron's involvement. If they found out, the Lansraad would turn against the Baron. *elaborate hand gestures*

*Juergen Prochnow voice at appropriate soundtrack cue*
Yueh! He's sabotaged the house generators!

two thumpers are planted. the worm may not rise for the first he will rise for the second. but remember when the worm approaches you must be utterly still, and close enough to plant the hook firmly under a ring segment. the worm will turn to move this exposed area as far from the abrasive sand as possible and will take you with it to the top. do not get too close, as he passes the sand will engulf you. wait till the head of the worm passes then go, quickly. #mmmmm #ShaiHulud

uh-oh. I put on the soundtrack to the Lynch "Dune" and now I'm thinking seriously about uh, folding space. It's been a stressy few days and it's not about to get easier.

Idk if this is a hot take but Karla Ortiz’s black and white stuff is lightyears better than her color stuff, which is merely fantastic. If I were WotC I’d pay her to do b/w card art.
