Thanks, looking forward to it.

i have seen the 04 Dawn remake, but only once and I've been thinking about rewatching it because I had so much fun watching all the original romeros.

memeoffice.

didn't think msoffice would be the easiest platform to build memes/diagrams on.

I actually didn't even know office could build something that complicated.

thanks

"Where are you getting "roll over and give up" from?"

from the cowardly statement about how nobody should fight back because there's nothing to be done.

that's simply not true.

dozens of executive orders have been halted by lawyers, judges and civil rights activists.

all of your anxieties you are pretending are real are false echoes of the other person who doesn't know what they're talking about.

you being afraid of fighting back and recommending giving up doesn't make you brave, it's pathetic.

it's even worse when you attack the people that are fighting for your civil rights every day, despite your selfishness and cowardly propaganda.

huh, i much prefer libreoffice to msoffice, i can't even think of a reason why anyone could prefer msoffice.

Im a but gobsmacked at the notion.

what do you use the drawing for?

28 days was my favorite for a long time.

i recently watched through all the romero films and think Day of the Dead from 85 is my favorite, the emotions and story are there most disturbing for me there.

but I've probably watched Shaun of the Dead the most number of times.

i didn't know about return, by the way, but it's on my watch list now so thanks.

thank you, this is a very good point and I'm going to remember it.

"how they're being ignored and nothing happens."

this is flatly incorrect, although it is what rump wants you to believe.

he's signing a lot of executive orders, asking his cronies to find loopholes to attack vulnerable groups, but lawyers and judges are managing to stop a lot of those orders and unconstitutional actions.

there's no use rolling over while the fight has just begun.

a lot is legally happening and things would be a lot worse if we didn't have a lot of brave lawyers and judges on the side of the sane.

Even if legal and judicial activism isn't as exciting or getting as much attention as the 5 million strong protests, those legal consequences and judicial developments are saving people's lives and should be respected.

you missed or ignored the explicit subjects and objects of their sentences, then.

"50501 and crew are baby stuff"

it's not perspective.

Luckily, this time there are judges, lawyers and civil rights activists as well as the millions of people showing up for protests.

all of them are doing what they can to hinder the embarrassing horrors of the rump administration.

I cannot remember the first time I read this series, but I can't imagine thinking anything other than "ah, The power of friendship!"

Which upon this reread is hilarious given how clearly the authors wanted to portray a gay couple in 2000, which wasn't done often in a series fronted by a major publisher.

spoiler

This time, I was like "oh right, the andalites living together, and then I was inundated with the hunts of gardening, super fitness, pink furniture, shunned by society, debilitating incurable illness, cared for by "best friend", androgynes, and especially the poetic language of how the became friends, they were both pilots and their wings tangled together and they crashed to the ground together.

Pretty awesome that when so other few authors were willing to have gay characters, especially in a young adults series, ka and grant went full bore and even named this title "the other".

I always thought the "Marco" being bi what sort of and unsupported gimme afterthought, but they already had an unmistakably gay couple having badass adventures.

I wonder if they made them both pilots because of top gun?

And this title is not merely a showcase of queer culture, the story is as developed and well told as any of the other books, and of course more so than some of them.

I find the thought-speak across great distances very interesting, how visser 3 doesn't want anything to do with either of them because of andalite culture treating difference as an embarrassment, and also how ax is very openly hostile toward both of them.

It's another good book!

It is very creepy when the ant begins turning Cassie, but it's downright horrifying when the Buffalo begins to learn how to speak while it's morphed into chapman.

That is so yikes that it makes perfect sense. They have to fry him at the end.

Yikes.

They really get at some horror here.

Ax gets a big ol' crush on

spoilerA genocidal sort of asshole.

Still, the heart wants what it wants.

This is a great book, testing ax's loyalty again.

A very good example of people insisting they're doing some necessary thing for the greater good by becoming the thing they're fighting against.

The characters and their Dynamics were very interesting in this book, non-stop action.

 

And the tiny desk concert after you watch this video and you're like oh my God they're f****** amazing.

I remember this book because as soon as you realize that Jake is gone, you're like oh shit.

Wow! This book is really good, dealing with leadership and Marco's criticisms and how poorly Rachel deals with the leadership she thought she wanted,

spoilerand then the absolutely batshit insane plan at the end that foreshadows Rachel's final act.

I also never understood why the garatron looks so much like an andalite.

Are they just like hey isn't evolution weird? This one thing looks like another thing but they're not the same thing.

I don't get why that was so important.

Also, I was so glad that Jake spoke with Rachel shortly at the end of the book. Perfect ending.

Since I learned the word estreen, the andalite word for an extremely talented morpher, I searched for fanart based on that and found some interesting stuff.

Beautifully colored, is this oil painting?

Artist is artbyLars

Update: Estreen! That's the word. Found it!

An exceptionally talented morpher is an estreen! I knew there was a word for it.


I can't find the word.

Isn't there a specific andalite word for how good Cassie is at morphing?

Artist - iara catunda

 

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

Thanks. it's fine if nobody knows the answer to this or has not seen the movie, it's not a very good movie.
