“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal... To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.”
-Rebecca Solnit
(Follies of God)

My unasked for thoughts on “Stranger Things” Season 4 Vol. 2, ie “I’m Not Mad, I’m Just Disappointed”:
Just a PSA, I couldn’t care less about all this ST ship discourse and that’s not what this post is about.
Vol. 2 did not do it for me, and it’s because the stakes were so obviously and painfully low. It was beaten over fans’ heads from episode one that Eddie was going to make the sacrifice play. We all knew deep down that Max was going to be okay in the end. Blah blah blah doom and gloom Hawkins, blah blah blah we fixed it somehow with only one of the main characters biting it. Predictable.
I miss when Stranger Things made you question who was going to make it out. Main character or not, everyone was on the chopping block. No one was safe. It made you feel for and love the characters all the more. Characters weren’t added for the sole purpose of being a plot sacrifice. Time and energy was given to their development and it wasn’t thrown away at the drop of a hat.
I know characters change and develop. And I was hoping Vol. 2 was going to act as both plot and character study for the main crew. But it focused so much on predictable plot “twists” that I feel like certain characters got left behind *cough* WILL *cough*
Anyways, Murray was the only part of S4 I’m willing to accept because they’re finally doing my dude justice and the soundtrack was bangin.

Okay, here it is, less than 5 minutes before stranger things season 4 volume 2 comes out and I've managed to put together my bingo card. Feel free to use it however you wish.
Bonus:
-Michael Wheeler cries
-001 is Eleven's biological father
-Will has powers
-*bury your gays*
-long bittersweet flashback
-short traumatic flashback
-the entirety of Hawkins gets swallowed up like at the end of It
-Joyce warpaths her way through Hawkins and single-handedly destroys Vecna to save her kids. (Admittedly this one's a stretch)
-more of Eddie's uncle (I like him)
Extra Bonus:
- if it turns out I got queerbated so hard I have to delete my Netflix account
-if there's a plot twist that genuinely knocks my socks off
-If Will Byers snaps... like emotionally and becomes the righteous menace I know he can be, I will be the most happy I can ever be.

My chosen mode of traversing the globe through the decades has necessitated that I deposit ‘time capsules’ far and wide — bits and bobs of a life filed into long forgotten storage units, bus station lockers, basements of friends, attics of family and who knows what and where else.
Stuff changes meaning over time. Things you drag across the country in one direction or another, precious enough to save, years later you may not remember that you ever owned it, much less that it had some deeper value.
One of the most un-archival locales where I’ve chosen to drop my things has been my father’s attic. @livermore_lab would be hard pressed to mimic the extreme conditions found there and the effects of decades of freeze/thaw cycles that my various materials have undergone. Glacial winters, furnace-like summers under the bubbling black asphalt shingles as hot as a kiln. Malarial humidity. Some of my things have literally turned to dust. Diaries of thoughts now illegible, ink faded, papers eaten by microscopic bugs, electronics coagulate into molten masses. A stone plucked from the crest of some distant mountain summit, now far removed from it’s mother strata, patiently awaits for the inevitable collapse of the house and shifting tectonics to be absorbed back into the earth’s crust to confound some future geologist.
I’m home for the holidays and dad presented me with this — a roll of exposed film that he found up there amongst boxes of my detritus — best guesstimate is that it arrived there during a transcontinental move of mine in 1989.What’s on the roll? I’ll never know. Something worth photographing, I would have felt, in the late 1980s. However, Kodak ceased production of Kodachrome 64 in 2009, and processing of #Kodachrome worldwide ended on January 18, 2011. The proprietary and complicated chemicals and processes involved in developing Kodachrome were only available at a handful of labs in the world, even during the heyday of production, and do not exist now.
On this roll are the latent images, the stored ghost images that rest in limbo in between the clicking of the shutter and the chemical development, stories waiting to be told, in the dark, for eternity.

Why Do The Black Keys Still Feel Like Underdogs?
Why Do The Black Keys Still Feel Like Underdogs?
Jim Herrington
After six Grammys, countless commercial spots, a handful of world tours, and one hilariously misattributed VMA, it’s weird to think of The Black Keys as underdogs. And yet, that’s how drummer Patrick Carney says he and singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach now see themselves.
“When we took five years between records, it felt like an eternity, and I think we kind of got to underdog status…
