Mar. 22nd, 2019 09:21 pmAh yes, that feeling when you go long enough without updating that suddenly you have about fifteen half-written but not super interesting posts in your head. So, quickly:
1. It's been above freezing so everything is melting, which is both good (sidewalks are no longer considered difficult terrain!) and bad (my poor basement). We're too far north for the massing midwestern floods, though the Mississippi is supposed to crest up here next week.
2. New Lizzo Music video:
3. Supernatural is ending . . . next season. It was a huge part of my life (though I only got into fandom in season five, when I was convinced that there was an end date and could easily move on). I watched it in college and was proud of my ability to guess Season 2 era-Dean's lines before he even said them out loud. I still have some fanfic on A03. But I haven't watched for about six years now, so.
(Maybe I'll finish that Bela-in-boarding-school fanfic I had sketched out in celebration. Because if there was ever anything that was popular in that fandom, it was horror genfic about female characters)
4. My mother is apparently backing Toni Preckwinkle, but because she's Machine, as opposed to any worry about police accountability or Rekia Boyd or anything. You know what, I'll take it.
5. I just need everyone to know that the Carlsburg display of restoration noses is a real thing.
6. If watching the revoke article 50 petition is a thing you would like to do, you can watch its progress on twitter and twitch with less of an impact on the site proper.
7 - 9. I've been spinning a bunch of singles and it's all very pretty, but should probably be its own post with pictures. The end of the Iditarod was super interesting but also is like ten links on its own, and that's before I even get into the Nic Petit coverages. Also something on planning encounters better in D&D.
10. Star Trek: Discovery has managed to become a lot more watchable for the last couple of episodes, to the point where I would consider recommending it to people, though maybe not enough to get CBS All Access
11. On the Cult of Originality: What Byzantine Literary Culture can Tell Us about Fanfiction. Interesting!
12. It seems like a lot of good stuff has just gotten announced - the Murderbot Novel has a title, Deadwood has a trailer, and I'm sure there was more. Exciting things!
13. This visual for the layout for the Hawkeye 2012 #1 cover is pretty damn impressive.
