I had a weird episode of Jump Around in my head recently, too! Huh.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can barely process the Haiti scope. PMM linked to this list of news and donation resources on LJ.
I didn't even know about Limnic Eruptions
I just read about one of those yesterday and I don't remember where--where did you see it?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I can barely process the Haiti scope
Me neither.

IIRC, it's linked in the comments -- it mightn't have been up when the original post was made.

Me neither.
One of the pictures in the NYT slideshow is a view from above a neighborhood, and all the houses -- 40 or so -- are just timbers on the ground. I can't even get my mind around that, much less how big the whole thing is.

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

Photo #38 from the boston.com link I posted above. Seeing how tiny the people are in that picture is disconcerting.

That's the one. It's shown much smaller on the NYT site, and I didn't even realize there were people in the photo.
(I'm not clicking too many links, because I just can't handle it.)

I didn't even know about Limnic Eruptions (sudden eruptions of CO2 from lakes that asphyxiate everything nearby).
You clearly have not been reading enough weird science.
Poor Haiti sometimes seems like a great cosmic experiment in misery.
