what’s the vibe of your blog. everyone has their own. is it an art gallery exhibit serving canapés. a nightclub. a knights of the round table situation. a book discussion meeting. a lonely hearts club newspaper section. a bedroom where you and two friends are chatting. the school of athens debating matters of consequence. a garden tea party. a bacchanal. an agatha christie murder novel style tense dinner party. etc

There’s an episode of the 90s Outer Limits in which a man lives in an underground bunker by himself after some mysterious apocalypse, enjoying his favorite movies and books and such. Holographic people keep him company but he mistreats the holographic people and they realize they don’t need him and ignore him as he descends into madness.

That’s the vibe.

Seeing these impending drought and heat barrage reports like yep we better get used to that dying world fashion.

Time, I think, is like walking backward away from something: say, from a kiss. First there is the kiss; then you step back, and the eyes fill up your vision, then the eyes are framed in the face as you step further away; the face then is part of a body, and then the body is framed in a doorway, then the doorway framed in the trees beside it. The path grows longer and the door smaller, the trees fill up your sight and the door is lost, then the path is lost in the woods and the woods lost in the hills. Yet somewhere in the center still is the kiss. That’s what time is like.

John Crowley, from Engine Summer (Doubleday, 1979)

as a new-ish star trek fan part of my experience is realizing just how haunted i am by star trek actors having appeared in things i grew up with without me realizing it. every day i go to the internet movie database and every day i’m like “whoa holy shit that was that person the whole time!?” and it like rewrites my entire experience of that piece of media

everyone put in the tags what star trek actor in something else moment that just rocked your fucking world when you realized it. i’m curious
