Freminet: So, um... I guess I'm not invited to the family barbecue any more, am I?

Arlecchino: Oh no, your attendance at the cookout is still mandatory. However, you have been demoted from "son" to "weird cousin who nobody likes that sits in the corner and we all talk about you behind your back".

Freminet: No...

Arlecchino: Every time you set your gaze upon my face, you will have to exist with the terrible knowledge that I am not mad, I am just disappointed.

Freminet: *gasp* You're a monster!

‘Books keep our minds free’: US prisons ban reading materials at alarming pace

New PEN America data reveals incarcerated persons are being robbed of magazines and even recipe books

by Olivia Empson

Reading bans are rising at an alarming rate in prisons across the country, with new PEN America data revealing that those incarcerated are being robbed of the occasional magazine and even recipe books on how to make ramen.

For almost 22 years, Zeke Caligiuri subscribed to the New Yorker magazine from prison in Minnesota. He was meant to receive 52 annual issues but claimed during his sentencing to have never gotten the full amount. Instead, a non-delivery notice with vague wording would arrive at the prison post room, sometimes flagging an advertisement that was deemed inappropriate or just one article in an issue of many. After searching for information about what he couldn’t read, Caligiuri would sink into a period of overwhelming defeat.

“I realized that my world needed to get bigger,” he said. “But the things I needed to see and know were being held back.”

During this time, the words of New Yorker writers like Adam Gopnik, Ariel Levy and Emily Nussbaum were means of escaping the monotony of incarceration. Prison was programmed by a rigorous schedule, with days hardly extending beyond what was for lunch or when inmates could watch television. Searching for meaning, Caligiuri sometimes slept on the bunks with a book next to his head. When he could get it, poetry was the first thing he read when he woke up.

“If you take the books and culture out of these places, you have a zoo,” he said. “Language is the building block of creation. For me, in prison, it was the biggest thing. Words were the only thing connecting me with the world, with my family, and with my community.”

‘I offer you a light desk job, comparative freedom of movement, working in the fresh air … no, I feel that my offer might well be unusual, but cruel? I think not. However, I believe we do have down in the cellars some ancient punishments which are extremely cruel and in many cases quite unusual, if you would like to try them for the purposes of comparison.’

Six-Month Reassessment (with extra whining) 

Having predictably fallen into a crack between two fandoms, I’ve been delighted to find out I can still fall upon GO by default.

Unfortunately, no matter how I filter, something S2-compliant inevitably pops up, making me physically nauseous at the thought of what we can objectively expect from S3.

Because, as someone astutely pointed out on my other social media, “let's face it: we can hope there is a great plan to magically fix everything in the next season, but one thing ‘Sherlock’ taught us is that sometimes bad writing is just bad writing.”

 I'm disproportionately proud of never touching the final season of ‘Sherlock’.

The only difference between the latest version of Aziraphale and MF's Dr Watson – besides the fact that Dr W doesn't own ShH millennia of friendship and the several life debts, that is –  

The only thing that currently stands between my perception of Aziraphale and last seasons’ Dr W is Michael Sheen's personal charm.

Michael Sheen was damn charming as a serial killer.

Who am I kidding, I'm going to watch it to the bitter end, then resolutely declare myself “strictly book but for the two lines describing Crowley's apparent age and hair color.”

But, given the company I'm keeping, the part where the show no longer lets me ignore that character A is treating character, well, C like shit – and, in retrospect, it's always been the case – is the part where I should start wishing for a healthier happier relationship for my favorite character.

Sadly, in this situation my favorite character is (an) A :-(

Sometimes i think I'm a masochist because holy fuck did it hurt to finish this edit

I wanted to actually toss my redesigns into the show more, especially since the last edit I did was of Pidge, and he got pretty simple changes Ended up choosing Allura and Keith to be my lab rats, which was a MISTAKE because I underestimated how much VF refuses to use curves Seriously, there's more sharp corners in the designs than goddamn character development in the show

Original screencap from episode 18 Flash Form Go and is attached under the cut open image for better quality <3
