Love Tomita’s The Planets.

Isao Tomita was a big influence on me, which I owe to my father who played his music for us as children.

Now playing: Tomita - The Planets (1976)
I can’t even begin to express how excited I was to find this for $5 today. An album of my childhood & a major influence for my love of synth/Moog based music.

Letter from Tolkien to WH Auden, June 1953

Stories are like gardens that are nurtured — twisting along unanticipated paths, as they reveal themselves to even the authors.

If you relinquish all choices too early, give them up in the name of efficiency, fully formed from the outset — you lose something.

Wander curiously.

This. Stop anthropomorphizing the tech.

“No, they don’t have sunlight, they don’t know what the fuck a green lantern is.”

“Then what do they call it?”

“They call it an F-Sharp Bell.”

“What do they call a ring?”

“Rings a ring.”

My sigh can be heard all the way to the center of the universe. What a whiff on a concept.

The Arkkis Chummuck trial, something real nitty gritty alien legion like would make an amazing pilot episode, I feel. Instead its dusty detectives.

It’s the Tobias and Lindsay “could work for us” meme over and over.

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)

The Green Lantern teaser has such a “but for serious adults” vibe to it. I’m sorry it’s a no from me.

Beware the Mynock Zine - Dan Membiela's Ko-fi Shop A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, a dark-winged detective investigates the suspicious events of an Imperial crime scene.

"Do you ever look at the galaxy and feel like it?

And leatherin fuck oot aw guys all night?
Scarin the fucking shite oot of them?"

If you answer, "Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae!" have I got good news.
