my girl cousin and her husband and two babies, plus one of the guy cousins are evacuating south to edmonton. my two other guy cousins were forced to evacuate to the north because the fire had spread and cut them off from the others. so my cousins aren’t all together and their homes may very well be gone soon, but at least they are all on the road and not trapped in a burning city. i really hope they all make it safely to edmonton, which is quite far. my girl cousin’s husband has family in calgary, so there is somewhere more permanent to stay if necessary.

"Gaudete" by The Mediæval Bæbes:

I've been re-watching DS9 from the beginning and took a brief detour into DS9 vids. I also watched a couple of Star Trek 40th anniversary vids that had me turning on the waterworks.

There's just something about this universe and these characters that never fails to stir up all my emotions. It's visceral.

Has there ever been a more thought-provoking SFF universe created? Even with its flaws, even when it has failed to live up to its potential, has there ever been a shared fictional world which has inspired us to dream bigger and work harder for a better tomorrow? I'd say no, unequivocally.

(This post was brought to you by Kira Nerys' fantastic character development and Avery Brooks saying, "Fuck it, I'm forcing Paramount to hire as many actors of colour as I possibly can.")

I understand that atpotch recently posted his thoughts on the manifestos of the five major UK political parties in anticipation of the election. He has not tagged these posts, unfortunately, but they begin with this introductory post and conclude on April 26, 2015, with the Labour Party. For those of you voting in the UK, I highly recommend checking out TCH's comments as he's an astute thinker and a brilliant writer.

Do you guys have any travel plans of your own? Exams are over, I think, for those of you in university. Do you guys have jobs for the summer?

I haven't watched any new TV yet! Hopefully I will find time this weekend, but work has been too busy. My list of shows to watch is relatively short and may become shorter very soon:

Shows I have to at least try out:

• Gotham
  
• The Flash

Shows I may give up very soon:

• Agents of SHIELD - I have no enthusiasm for this show. Even though I love a handful of the characters, I utterly loathe most of the plot choices and basically want to write AUs in which certain characters just vanish off the face of the earth and/or drop dead on the spot (I'm not too picky on which) and other characters get happy, fulfilling lives as a team of badass agents who save the world on a regular basis.

Shows I can't wait to see (again):

• Elementary
  
• Castle - but seriously, that cliffhanger was ridiculous
  
• AGENT CARTER - though if the showrunners take their cue from Agents of SHIELD, I'm gonna be singing a very different tune

I can't believe sga_santa is closing after this year! Well, I suppose it's fair given that the show is long over and the fandom has died down so much. But still, it's the end of an era... While I'm tempted to participate one last time for nostalgia's sake, I've defaulted on all my ficathons this year. It's incredibly sad, how little writing I've done in 2014. Stargate was my most prolific fandom, too. :(

But I would love to see other people sign up for SGA Secret Santa! For folks who have a LiveJournal, you can sign-up here. Alternatively, you can sign up on this post if you don't have an LJ. (And I realize after typing this paragraph how outdated "LJ comment"-style sign-ups are compared to sign-ups done on Google or AO3.)

If you're looking for something more low-key than a fic exchange, then check out space_swap's Space Fest! This is a chance for you to create fanworks based on a prompt you've claimed. All forms of media are welcome, not just fic!



Prompt claims opened yesterday and stay open throughout the posting period. The last day to post your fanwork is November 6, 2014.

*waves* Hi, guys. I'm... not really here? But I figured this was something I could cross-post, you know, in case you wanted to hear about art I've seen recently.

Admission to the AGO is free on Wednesdays, 6:00pm-8:30pm, so I decided to swing by after work and take a look at some of their current exhibits. Photography is hit or miss for me, but there's a new collection that spans the history of photography from the 1840s to today. I hadn't realized it'd been invented so early!

I also saw Fan the Flames: Queer Positions in Photography, which opened during Pride Week, I think. Mostly photography as well, but somehow the queer focus, the activism implicit in the art, the commentary, elevated it for me beyond a series of well-designed shots. A decent balance of dykes and gay men, mostly white people but with black drag queens well-represented. A whole table of gay men's magazines with buff naked guys. The Vanity Fair cover with k.d. lang and Cindy Crawford. *g* Some genderfuckery that I probably would have failed to appreciate five years ago, but which I really enjoyed.

Then I wasted time in the European Art gallery, revisiting the Dutch and Belgian painters--they're gorgeous, so I can't just walk past them even though I've seen them before. I stopped at the metalwork (see nautilus cup above) because there's a bit of Daja Kisubo in me--metals are so much more interesting than textiles. (Sorry, Sandry.)

Before and After the Horizon: Anishinaabe Artists of the Great Lakes looks really fantastic and I didn't get to spend nearly enough time there. I love Norval Morrisseau's art, all bold colours and well-spaced shapes, everything balanced, nothing crowded. But there were new artists I'll need to check out more carefully. Again, I prefer metalwork and paintings over photography and textiles, but that was at a quick first glance. I don't know much about Aboriginal Canadian art, let alone this Anishinaabe school, so I definitely have to come back.</p>

This is an unpopular opinion, I suspect, but I really really hate those posts that mock Harry for naming Albus Severus after Snape (and Dumbledore), and basically argue that Harry should have named his kid after Remus, Neville, Fred, etc. -- anyone but Snape. And yeah, I totally accept that argument if you're saying that Harry should have backed the hell off and let Ginny name one of her own children, because dude -- I feel you there.
