[neil-gaiman]

Dear Neil, I'm telling you this story in hopes it may amuse you.

The first time I read How Much for Just the Planet?, I recognized Peter and Diane.

The second time I read it, probably, I recognized Janet Kagan. I was and am a lifelong Star Trek fan; I had read lots of other Trek novels, along with tons of fantasy and sf.

It probably took me twenty years to realize that "Ilen the Magian" was that guy in the black leather jacket that so many of my friends thought was a good writer--because I never got into comics.

So now I know which Neil "wanted a walk-on" in the funniest Star Trek novel ever written. And I really enjoyed watching Good Omens and The Sandman, and listening to the BBC audio of Neverwhere with James Macavoy and Natalie Dormer.

It does indeed amuse me.

Have you read Mike Ford's wonderful novel Aspects yet?

Ok, a friend told me I needed to be on Tumblr because it’s where all the cool kids are. I’m not sure if I qualify, but here I am! For this first post, I guess I’ll just put down a bunch of random stuff about myself. If you see something you like, great! We might be part of the same tribe of weirdos. If not, that’s ok. I’ll try not to take it personally.

1. I’m a 50 year old straight, married, white, cis female. My pronouns are she/her. I’ve been married for to my high school sweetheart since 1996, and we are the parents of two amazing humans and more furry and feathered kids than any sane person should have.

2. I’m an ally, very aware of my privilege, and though I know I don’t always get it right, I am always trying to learn and do better when it comes to standing up for the rights of other humans. I believe that we need to take care of each other because life is hard and we don’t all get dealt the same cards in life. Learn better, do better.

3. Religion? Nah. Faith? Absolutely. These days I describe myself as a Christ follower, currently deconstructing Christianity as a religious institution. I love Jesus and want to be just like him. I’m reluctant to call myself a Christian because many of them are pretty much closed minded, bigoted, horribly judgmental people and I don’t want to be lumped in with them. My belief system pretty much boils down to “Love God, love people.” And, for the record, I also think that God reveals themself in many different ways. Also, science is real, folks. And magic is just science that we haven’t figured out yet.

3. Politically I am definitely liberal. We should take care of each other, do what each of us can to make the world better, and hold our so-called leaders accountable for doing what we put them in power to do. Crazy talk, I know.

4. Fun stuff: I’m into (in no particular order):

Star Trek (old and new, I love it all!)

Music (my tastes are eclectic, and my playlists reflect that). I also LOVE Broadway musicals, and I sing. A lot. Like, really a lot.

Science fiction, fantasy, and various sub-genre stuff. I also enjoy historical fiction, true crime, and history. Some of my favorite authors are Laurell K Hamilton, Isaac Asimov, Diane Duane, Phillipa Gregory, Janet Kagan, Anne McCaffrey, Kim Harrison, John Scalzi, Douglas Adams, Terry Prachett…I’m probably leaving a lot out.

Medical TV shows: The Resident is my current favorite, and I just finished rewatching House.

I have 5 cats.

I have 3 dogs; 2 of them are rough collies, and I’m obsessed with them.

I have an Amazon parrot named Widget. She’ll be 30 years old this summer, and I have been her mama since she was a 3 week old chick.

I am a veterinary assistant, and my work is also my passion. I have also been a cat sitter, worked in retail, taken care of elderly people, been a resort housekeeper, and worked in tech support.

I am currently learning to crochet.

I like card games, and I play a lot of stupid time wasting iPad games.

That’s all for now, ABC’s of me.

On a sunny day at a seashore in 2016, a 9 foot long lamb made out of Jersey fabric made an appearance. This lamb, created by North Jersey-based artist, Diane Kagan, drew the attention of many. The seaside community was hosting a charity event and the significance of Kagan's lamb was to unite the people — more specifically, to unite Indians and Pakistanis.

It was an emotional moment for the spectators. The lamb was the symbol of love and togetherness to represent the warmth shared by the two nations. To add to that, Kagan adorned the lamb with blue and white paints, which were colors of peace. The symmetry of the colors was to bring out the harmony between the differing cultures.

The lamb and Kagan's mission were quickly spread throughout the community, leading to more people joining the event. The lamb also became the symbol of charity. Kagan hoped that her art would bring out hope and positivity for those in need.

For that day, the lamb made out of jersey represented something bigger than art. It served as a non-biased reminder of the peace and love shared amongst neighbours.

analyse this

So, I said on Twitter that I was going to list off the Star Trek novels I own...

This list is imperfect as I have almost certainly lost a few over the years. On the other hand, if I lost them and forgot them, they must not have meant much to me, right? 

Original Series:

On my shelf at the moment:

Log Two - Don’t think this is originally mine as it's got a UK price on it and I don't remember it. And it's older than I am. (Alan Dean Foster) Enterprise: The First Adventure (Vonda McIntyre) #1 The Entropy Effect (Vonda McIntyre) #13 The Wounded Sky (Diane Duane - If you read only one Star Trek novel, read this one) #21 Uhura's Song (Janet Kagan) #25 Dwellers in the Crucible (Margaret Wander Bonnano) #41 The Three-Minute Universe (Barbara Paul) #49 The Pandora Principle (Carolyn Clowes - Massively retconned by the post-2000 Novelverse) #52 Home is the Hunter (Dana Kramer-Rolls) Prime Directive (this book was a Special Entry and not numbered - Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens) #59 The Disinherited - An oddly long list of authors:  Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman, and Robert Greenberger #62 Death Count (L.A.Graf) #70 Traitor Winds (L.A.Graf) #76 The Captain's Daughter (Peter David) Novelisations for movies 1-5 but not 6 for some reason

Books I know I owned but cannot find right now:

#22 Shadow Lord (Lawrence Yep) #47 The Kobayashi Maru (Julia Ecklar) #55 Renegade (Gene DeWeese)

Books I know I owned but deliberately disposed of:

#14 The Trellisane Configuration ... pretty sure at some point I bought either the Romulan books or the "Spock's Lost Son" books, didn't like them, and immediately got rid of them, but the details are fuzzy

The Next Generation:

On my shelf:

Imzadi (Peter David) #10 A Rock and a Hard Place (Peter David) #16 Contamination (John Vornholt) #23 War Drums (John Vornholt) #24 Nightshade (Laurel K Hamilton) #27 Guises of the Mind (Rebecca Neason - Of all of the TNG books this is the one I remember least, and am looking at going 'What was that about?')

Deep Space Nine:

On my shelf:

#2 The Siege (Peter David) #3 Bloodletter (K.W.Jeter) #4 The Big Game (Sandy Schofield) #7 Warchild (Esther Friesner) #8 Antimatter (John Vornholt)

I read many other books in those series from the library or borrowed. To the best of my knowledge I never read a Voyager book and I quite certainly never read an Enterprise one.

It’s also worth noting that both Uhura’s Song and Dwellers in the Crucible pop up repeatedly in Yuletide requests, as they have fans of their settings and characters beyond simply the star trek verse as a whole.

PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER!

TAGGED BY: @alchemic-elric TAGGING: m @canisfuria @encyclopedichead @heymans-breda @flexarmstrong @cromwellharvests @cheualier @citrinexdreams @mckeitbeautiful @ whoever else wants to steal it from me, tbh

ONE ( ALIAS / NAME )  Katie TWO ( BIRTHDAY ) August 28th THREE ( ZODIAC SIGN ) Virgo  FOUR ( HEIGHT )  Just shy of 5′8″ FIVE ( HOBBIES )   Writing, drawing, reading, cosplay, learning in general (seriously I love to learn there’s so much neat stuff out there to learn and know and make connections with!) SIX ( FAVOURITE COLOUR(S ) Pink SEVEN ( FAVOURITE BOOKS ) Oh dear ^^; This could be quite a list. I’ll try to condense it. The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer; Usagi Yojimbo series by Stan Sakai; Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis; The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom; Uhura’s Song by Janet Kagan; Double Helix, book three of six. Red Sector by Diane Carey; Beka Cooper, Book One, Terrier by Tamora Pierce (the audiobook is masterfully done); The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman; Those are just the ones that I can think off of the top of my head, tbh. There’s a ton more that I really enjoy! EIGHT ( LAST SONG LISTENED TO )   Oh frick, I don’t remember. Probably a praise and worship song from church, tbh. NINE ( LAST FILM WATCHED )  Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Funny movie. Good movie. TEN ( INSPIRATION FOR MUSE )  I mean, Riza’s just awesome? And I tend to like the female characters who are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, but also aren’t afraid of their femininity, bc media likes to take one or the other often times. I like the balance.   ELEVEN ( MEANING BEHIND YOUR URL )  I mean, with as much as Riza shoots guns, you’re telling me she wouldn’t be slightly scented by gunpowder?

Book Meme taken from my Dreamwidth Reading page: 100 books recommended for 2019

Snagged from davidgillon, which he snagged from legionseagle who got the list from this blog post over at Tor.com: 100 SF/F books you should consider reading in the New Year.

So, going by this list, it looks like I'm not very well-read at all. Though what this list really shows me is that I haven't read much of any SF/F published after 1980 -- I think that's because my main access to the genre was through school libraries and public libraries, which tend to have more older books on their shelves than book stores. Some of these book titles (and their summaries on Wikipedia, when I look them up) ring very faint, foggy, bells. I very well could have read them, but I'm not confident enough to actually “bold” them.... Particularly Up the Walls of the World -- if I didn’t read that book, I read one that was influenced by it... I'm glad Patricia McKillip is on this list.  Although I read The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, the book of hers that kept me up all night until I finished it was The Changeling Sea ... I had such a fiction-crush on that wizard (*blush*). And although it is not SF/F, I also really liked The Night Gift, though I acknowledge it's not a "Significant piece of Literature" of the sort that gets on lists like this (the pop culture references, put in to ground it firmly in the present, real, world, end up making it terribly dated), but it's a bittersweet exploration of how mental illness affects a close-knit group of teenage friends, and how they band together to try and help the one who's suffering. Anyway, all that means is that I have a whole lot of good first time reading to look forward to.

Bold = read it. Italics = not that one, but another by the same author. Strikethrough = did not finish.

Roots of The Dinner Party | Feminist Flashback Friday

The core group of “The Dinner Party” workers participated in consciousness-raising exercises and “rap sessions,” allowing them to better facilitate the completion of the project and simultaneously, to encounter and incorporate feminist methodology into their lives and work. The core team included Project Coordinator Diane Gelon, Installation Designer Ken Gilliam, Head of Needlework Susan Hill, Head of Research Ann Isolde, Head of Ceramics Judye Keyes, and ceramics specialist Leonard Skuro, among others.

Posted by Isabella Kapur Some core staff of The Dinner Party photographed at the work's inaugural exhibition, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 1979. In the background a photo mural shows Judy Chicago's 39th birthday party in July 1978 at her Santa Monica studio.

COMMENTARY:

Frank Luntz, like David Brooks (not David Brock) is a hard-wired Fascist push-poller. Everything he does or says or writes is inclined towards the movement Conservative side of the dial, no matter how innocuous or neutral or objective it may sound.

I used to regularly pick up a service he provided to Congressional Conservatives called “Language that Works” that contained the talking points every right-winger in Congress would parrot by the nightly news. He had an office on Wilson Blvd in Rossalyn Virginia, back when he was still slim and gaining his place in the Conservative firmament and I’d get a call once a week to pick this sheet up and I’d take it to the Dirksen Building. It was always reframing issues to the advantage of the Conservative agenda.

He was interviewed on WAMU/NPR at some point, maybe Diane Rehm and he illustrated how he would reframe issues. Drilling on the North Slope of Alaska was the issue du jour and explained to the host how the damage done to the environment was, ultimately, no more than a pipe sticking out of the ground, forgetting, of course, the bulldozers which scraped the ground bare above the perma-frost like a Vietnam-era firebase for the roughnecks to do their work. The whole idea is to constantly shape the narrative to fit the ideological trajectory of American Fascism.

As I say, David Brooks (not David Brock) is another example of the same thing. All these guys, John Bolton, Robert Kagan, etc, are trying to adjust their coloration to fit back into the liberal background noise, but their objective remains constantly aligned with the agenda of the GOP Deep State that Sheldon Whitehouse described in perfect detail in the Amy Coney Barrett hearings this week and it is all a piece with the vast right wing conspiracy Hillary Clinton described in 1993 that Main Stream Media continues to discount. There isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the way Bunker Boy treats his opponents on a daily basis or the way he acted in his debates with both Clinton and Biden and the way the neo-cons of the Bush-Cheney administration treated anyone who objected to the idea of invading Iraq. I mean, Nicolle Wallace was up to her eyebrows in that con job, along with Charlie Sykes, Joe in the Morning and the emerging heros of the Lincoln Project. All of them. That’s how they earned their livings and made their fortunes and, now, they are shuffling as hard as they can to the side of the angels.

But they all want to continue their ideological quest (Nicole Wallace being an exception) and Frank Luntz is a case study in the phenomena.

You “progressives” aren’t even aware of the battle you are fighting. I went to Vietnam on the basis of advancing the Atlantic Charter which shaped the ideological battle against Sino-Soviet tyranny. By 1965, Vietnam was a battle of attrition against the Soviet economy (not the NVA, who happened to be the Soviet proxies). The Oliver Stone version of Vietnam is that America was the aggressor nation: we lost the battle of Vietnam, fair and square, but the Soviets lost the Cold War because of that strategy arising from the Atlantic Charter, which is not the popular version of events.

Bill Clinton should have won a Nobel Peace Prize for the Dayton Accords, which represented the actual end of the Cold War and was made possible by the Atlantic Charter.

And this is where John Bolton comes in. The Atlantic Charter is a direct result of the failure of Wilson to ratify the League of Nations, which might have mitigated the circumstances in Europe that led to WWII and the soldiers like George Marshall and politicians like FDR recognized the lost opportunity for global stability and were determined not to repeat the mistake.

That mistake was the result of American isolationists and Copper Heads generally associated with Henry Cabot Lodge, an original American First demagogue who led the campaign to veto the ratification of the League of Nations. John Bolton represents the latter day Henry Cabot Lodge isolationist agenda in the GOP Deep State and the Project for the New American Century, which was authored by Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan, is the antithesis to the Atlantic Charter. The object of the exercise isn’t just to withdraw America from the structures that  have provided the stability and economic renewal from WWII, however flawed it may be, but to dismantle the global rule of law the Atlantic Charter represents. When I was growing up, NATO and the United Nations represented the leading edge of the League of Nations cum Atlantic Charter and, when I went to Vietnam, those structures had been augmented by the liberation theology of the Green Berets and the Peace Corps in the crusade for a global Pax Americana.

And Bill Clinton’s Dayton Accords represented the state of the art at the time in Peace Keeping. It is important to understand that the UN-NATO intervention in the Bosnia conflict was not possible without Putin’s deliberate commitment to allow the enterprise to proceed and the incident at the Prestina Airport, where a Russian Flying Column handed the keys to the airport to a furious Wesley Clark at the head of a NATO column, represented a new era of NATO-Russia co-operation which became essential after 911 in our Afghanistan mission: we couldn’t have done it without Russia.

And John Bolton represents those political interests in the GOP Deep State determined to “dismantle the administrative state” that made our presence in Afghanistan possible. I went to Vietnam so that possibility had the time and space to evolve and John Bolton’s entire career has been committed to blowing that possiblity up.

And Frank Luntz, along with the Oliver Stone version of Vietnam,  is part of the apparatus that Sheldon Whitehouse described last week organized to advance John Bolton’s agenda. And “progressives” like you and Cenk Uygur and Sam Seder get your panties all in a knot because Biden doesn’t align with Bernie, chapter and verse.

Don’t stop doing what you are doing, but to the degree that you still hold the opinion that Clinton was a terrible candidate, to that degree you are main-lining the ideological Kool Aid of disinformation operatives like Frank Luntz and David Brooks (not David Brock).

Until you know what the box is, you can’t think outside of it. The Oliver Stone version of Vietnam is that box.

The Barrett Hearings

Like most Americans, I have been watching the race to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett as an associate justice of the Supreme Court with a strange brew of mixed emotions:

·       awe at how fast the Senate can move when properly motived (which is apparently not the case when it comes to acting decisively and meaningfully on behalf of America’s COVID-era unemployed),

·       amazement at the impressive, almost astounding, hypocrisy the Barrett nomination has elicited from both sides of the aisle as the Republicans effortlessly and unselfconsciously put forward the precise argument the Democrats put forward at the end of the Obama years in the wake of Justice Scalia’s death and the Democrats just as fervently insist on the correctitude of the position embraced at that time by the Republicans, a line of thinking that they could not possibly then have opposed more vociferously, and

·       anxiety regarding the prospect of there being on the Supreme Court a justice so openly and unabashedly committed to her conservative Christian faith. It’s that last thought that I’d like to write about this week.

The point that Judge Barrett is a deeply involved, fully committed member of her faith community has been made repeatedly in these last weeks. Like most Americans, I suppose, I was unfamiliar with the People of Praise community until the Barrett nomination brought it to the attention of the public. Nor is that at all odd that I hadn’t heard of it before—the community has, all together, about 1700 members, about a tenth of the number of students who attend Nassau Community College! But, even with such small numbers, it is an interesting community to consider from the outside: an organization that self-defines as a “charismatic Christian community” and membership in which is open to all baptized individuals regardless of their denominational affiliation. And that definition seems to mirror how things actually have worked out for the People of Praise: their website notes that among their members are professed and affiliated Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Pentecostals, as well as a selection of other kinds of denominational and nondenominational Christians. (To read more on their own website, click here.) The group has its meetings on Sunday afternoons, in fact, precisely so as to allow members to attend church services in the congregations of which they are actually members. The website is very clear that People of Praise is a community of like-minded Christians working together to attain specific goals, not a church in the conventional sense of the word.

There’s no question that this is a very conservative operation. Until recently, the highest position a woman could hold in the community was that of “handmaid.” (The name has lately been changed to “woman leader.”) Each member is assigned a spiritual advisor called that person’s head. Men have male heads and single women usually have women as their heads, but the heads of married women are invariably their husbands. You get the idea.

No one is arguing, nor (I hope) would anyone, that Judge Barrett doesn’t have the right to affiliate with whatever spiritual community or faith group that she wishes. Nor, as I perceive it, is the problem some are having with the idea of her sitting on the Supreme Court tied specifically to the fact that she is a religious woman whose sense of purpose in life is strongly tied to her religious affiliation. It’s more bizarre than that, actually: the problem at least some of the people opposing her nomination seem to be having with Judge Barrett isn’t that she is affiliated with the religious group of her choice but that she clearly take the tenets of her faith seriously and has allowed them to shape her worldview. According to this line of thinking, it’s okay for Samuel Alito or Sonia Sotomayor to be Catholics because they are perceived—rightly or wrongly—as not being especially fervent believers. (Whether that is actually true or not, I have no idea.) Nor is this a specifically Christian issue: RBG’s Jewishness was celebrated, or at least tolerated, in at least some quarters precisely because she wasn’t actually a religious person who lived her life in strict accordance with the dictates of Jewish law, just a proud Jewish woman who saw no need to dissemble regarding her Jewishness. And the same is surely true, albeit in different ways, of Elana Kagan and Stephen Breyer, both of whom are openly identified as Jewish individuals but neither of whom is perceived—again, rightly or wrongly—as being especially observant. According to this line of reasoning, then, you can be publicly identified with a specific religious tradition and serve on the Supreme Court as long as you don’t take the tenets of that faith all that seriously. But Judge Barrett clearly does take her religion seriously. And that is where she is running into all sorts of trouble.

Traditionally, this race has been run in the other direction. The Constitution says unambiguously that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office of public trust,” thereby making it unconstitutional for anyone to be barred from any public office as a result of having failed a “religious test,” which is to say, because of not holding the dogmatic beliefs connected with any specific religion. In other words, not being a religious Christian (which is certainly what the Founders had in mind when they wrote about “religion” with no other qualification) may never be considered a just reason for not permitting someone to run for public office or, if elected, to serve. But here we have the inverse of that idea: someone who is being considered for public office whom many would bar because she does hold specific religious beliefs. When Senator Diane Feinstein turned to face Judge Barrett in 2017 at the latter’s confirmation hearing for her seat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and observed that “dogma lives loudly within you,” she did not mean it as a compliment. Nor did anyone miss the point.

I was very impressed by an essay I read this last week by Meir Soloveitchik, the rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel on Central Park West in Manhattan. (Click here to read it too.) In it, the author—whose writing I’ve long admired—argues that religious affiliation has been deemed not to bar any citizen from holding public office, including judgeships, since the founding of the republic. In this regard, he cites the 1790 letter George Washington wrote to Moses Seixas, the leader of the Jewish congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in which he wrote that in the American republic citizens of all faiths would be granted the “immunities of citizenship,” including, obviously, the right to serve as public officials. And he—Soloveitchik, not Washington—concludes that it should be considered both morally and legally wrong to disqualify a nominee to the Court a priori because of the perception that that person is possessed of even fervent religious faith.

Rabbi Soloveitchik’s analysis of Washington’s letter rings true to me. But not invalidating someone merely because of her or his religious beliefs does not invalidate the actual question of an individual’s worthiness for the Supreme Court. Indeed, the whole point of having these hearings in the Senate in the first place is precisely to determine Judge Barrett’s suitability for the job. In my opinion, however, the question of whether she should be confirmed should be a answered primarily with reference to the degree to which she is prepared to commit herself unambiguously and wholly to upholding the Constitution and is prepared openly and no less unequivocally to say that she will never allow her religious beliefs to lead her into decisions that, for all she personally may feel them justified, run counter to her own interpretation of the Constitution. In other words, her confirmation hearings should be about the likelihood that she will adjudicate the cases brought before her in accordance with the Constitution, and that she will do so even if doing so runs counter to her own Christian values. To disqualify her for consideration because she cannot commit to upholding the law even when it runs counter to her personal beliefs would be wholly legitimate in my mind. To disqualify her because she is passionate about her religious beliefs or because of the specific nature of those beliefs, would not only be wrong, but would be a denial of the basic freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment.
