Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Good for you, meara! And best of luck to you!

I overdid it yesterday and am completely useless today. Stupid body.

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

I want to submit my photography for publication [link] but it requires me to write about myself and my work, and I'm paralyzed!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why do you do photography? When did you start?

While nothing can shut off the hypervigilance, instead of scanning the vicinity for nonexistent threats, composing photographs gives my brain something useful to do with the information it is bombarded with, and can be quite soothing.

I doubt that's the kind of biographical detail that they're looking for, though.

I mean, it's not bad.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Yeah, I agree with Jesse -- that's the kind of thing that would be interesting to know about the person behind the photographs.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've been handed another month of May gut-punch. My cousin who's been battling cancer for the last year has just gone into hospice, and we're scrambling to figure out what to do and when/if we should drive down for last visits and to comfort the immediate family. It just can't be said enough: fuck cancer.

Any ~ma folks can spare for his wife, kids, and sister would be appreciated. I think for my cousin himself there's not much left but making him comfortable, which the hospice staff should be excellent at.

I'm so sorry, Matt. Best thoughts to all of them.

In other news, there are so many scandals (and "scandals") around my job right now, it's kind of exhausting.

And seriously, Tom, you could use that sentence as-is as an artist's statement or whatever. I say, not knowing anything about art or artist's statements!
