Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tom, what sort of credit would you like for me to be able to incorporate that winged hourglass image into an LJ icon?

Go ahead. It's fine. It's not as if others haven't used my photos for their LJ icons uncredited [glares at Hec].

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The University Of The West Indies, where my mother works, and where we spent a shitload of time as kids, is built on the ruins of a sugar plantation. They made, at the time, no effort to protect the ruins from the kids, nor the kids from the ruins. So we spent a lot of time playing around the defunct aqueduct and and stone cellars of a still house now open to the sky, and other remnants of 18th century buildings.
But Jamaica's best abandonment is hands down Port Royal -- one of the world's best, IMO.

Heh. I only steal from the really good photographers.
Betsy, that abandoned asylum site is great.

That is such a good name for (a) an album by The Decembrists or (b) a book by Edward Gorey.

I vote Gorey! Make it so!
Which reminds me -- I was listening to some of my much loved 80s songs. Which were surprisingly bleak. It's perfectly possible that I was filtering my favourites through my Cold War nightmares as a teen, and it's not like I don't like some cheery ones too.
But if I were to sift through top 40 now (or much of the post '80s), I can't imagine having that much depressed (barely angry) about the world (NSM love, more the state of the world) music.

I just bought the DVD set for Live Aid, and I was reminded of the same thing, ita. I'm wondering where are the protest songs of the Iraq War, and forced to admit that I don't know of many outside of Eminem's song.
