So, I'm bed bound right? Which means I can't walk or stand appropriately. It takes a lot of effort for me to stand and I can only do it seconds at a time. They told me I had a testing policy violation, revoked my rights to test online at home and keep telling me I have to go to an online testing center. I do not have the means to do so. I'm completely and utterly without hope. I feel so defeated. I can't take my tests now and I'll never go to college unless I get money to pay for my courses without getting a g.e.d.

Does anyone know of ways to go to free college without a highschool diploma or g.e.d? Someone has to know.

I passed my social studies exam for the G.E.D. Next is to do Language Arts and math, I'm keeping science for last.

This came up in my memories.

As we spiral ever faster toward extinction it feels even more relevant than during the times it was written.

If only we had taller been

The fence we walked between the years

Did balance us serene;

It was a place half in the sky where

In the green of leaf and promising of peach

We’d reach our hands to touch and almost thouch that lie,

That blue that was not really blue.

If we could reach and touch, we said,

‘Twould teach us, somehow, never to be dead.

We ached, we almost touched that stuff;

Our reach was never quite enough.

So, Thomas, we are doomed to die.

O, Tom, as I have often said,

How said we’re both so short in bed.

If only we had taller been,

And touched God’s cuff, His hem,

We would not have to sleep away and go with them

Who’ve gone before,

A billion give or take a million boys or more

Who, short as we, stood tall as they could stand

And hoped by stretching thus to keep their land,

Their home, their hearth, their flesh and soul.

But they, like us, were standing in a hole.

O, Thomas, will a Race one day stand really tall

Across the Void, across the Universe and all?

And, measured out with rocket fire,

At last put Adam’s finger forth

As on the Sistine Ceiling,

And God’s great hand come down the other way

To measure Man and find him Good,

And Gift him with Forever’s Day?

I work for that.

Short man, Large dream. I send my rockets forth between my ears,

Hoping an inch of Will is worth a pound of years.

Aching to hear a voice cry back along the universal Mall:

We’ve reached Alpha Centauri!

We’re tall, O God, we’re tall!

AO3 has been down for almost 20 hours. I would suspect a DDoS attack, but when the 2023 one happened, they were pretty open about it. Who knows.

It's been done!

conradveidt community is up and running! There a Movie Tournament Poll happening, and the film that wins will be highlighted for a whole month!

And under the cut, Lancelot stained glass, but made with coloured pencils.

Just to say that if I appear off grid a bit in the next few days, it's not intentional. I'm supposed to be getting my wifi upgraded tomorrow, but given my rubbish track record with technology, not feeling confident it will go smoothly (not helped by stories such as my one coworker having Openreach cancelling on her and my other coworker keeps sharing a story of how they kept his daughter waiting for 7 months in London. At least I have something already so if they do cancel I can still use it, so luckier than them.

So I keep trying to do ramble posts re fannish stuff and keep failing miserably. Maybe this year will be the year I'm more successful in that.

Supposing you see a show, or a film, that's adapted from a book. Do you find it jarring if it goes in a completely different direction from the original, or actually enjoy the change? It's something I was thinking about after having seen the first episode of 56 Days (I read the book when it had not long since been released). For anyone not familiar with either but considering checking out, I've cut anything specific to that canon.

Okay, so at the time the book came out (summer 2021) some did feel that it was a bit too soon for that particular thing featuring much in books and shows (a few years on with a bit of distance from it, maybe it's easier. But that's a whole separate discussion anyway).

( Read more... )

When the eventual outcome is wildly different to the original, does that jar with you or do you just go with it? I can remember wondering why exactly an old Miss Marple once years ago changed the identity of one killer in The Body in the Library, and also how exactly there could be an adaptation of Sara Shepard's The Perfectionists books without the character Julie and Parker considering how pivotal they were to the plot (considering that was canned after one season, I may not have been the only one!) If it's just something like an actor not being how I'd pictured someone in the books, I don't really think anything of that (although I've heard Mum plenty of times saying things like "He is not So and so!" in that situation.)
