Support/Action/Resistance Thread (31/208)

As I've said now on both twitter and tumblr, I do not fear terrorism. I fear what bigots in positions of power will do in the name of fighting it.

L watches the MCU* in order

The continuation! This week, we watched the second half of Guardians of the Galaxy, having watched the first hour or so last week before the blu-ray crapped out and I had to send it back to Netflix. The replacement disc worked perfectly and we were able to finish the movie.

I'll post my comments once the threads are collapsed.

*It occurs to me I'm really only watching the movies, since I've already watched all of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter, and didn't really feel like watching all of seasons one and two again where they fit in with the movies we've been watching, mostly because that would be a slog, since the show didn't really find its footing until late in season two.

Plactus Finishes A Song of Ice and Fire: A Dance With Dragons
...and Watches Game of Thrones Season 4

Yes, that's right. I've got ~270 pages to go, so going back to my old 60 pages/day pace means I should be able to finish by Friday, even taking a half day tomorrow. And at this point I want it done, so that's what I'm going to do.

Two weeks ago, I got through chapter 53.

As for the show, I'm going to try to do an episode each day Mon-Sat now until I finish (with a little bit of slip time between the projected finish and the start of S7). If I keep to that (and I actually think I can, now), I'll get through:
4.04 "Bnguxrrcre"
4.05 "Svefg bs Uvf Anzr"
4.06 "Gur Ynjf bs Tbqf naq Zra"
4.07 "Zbpxvatoveq"
4.08 "Gur Zbhagnva naq gur Ivcre"
4.09 "Gur Jngpuref ba gur Jnyy"

Plaintext spoilers for what I've read/seen.

TW: To be on the safe side, assume any triggers related to blood/gore/injuries, war/violence/death, pnaavonyvfz, slavery, misogyny, and sex (in particular, incest and rape/consent issues). Anything that needs mention beyond that will get a specific warning.

I've been avoiding updating iTunes, but I did so today and now the font is impossible to read. Half the letters are cut off, and the sidebar menu is illegible. I keep my computer font larger because I have trouble seeing it otherwise, but apparently iTunes wants me to squint at things. This is why I usually never update iTunes.

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Kabi Nagata


Something I wanted to help spread the word about that came out today. Not so good at writing descriptions so I'll let the official synopsis speak for it.

"The heart-rending autobiographical manga that’s taken the internet by storm!

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness is an honest and heartfelt look at one young woman’s exploration of her sexuality, mental well-being, and growing up in our modern age. Told using expressive artwork that invokes both
laughter and tears, this moving and highly entertaining single volume depicts not only the artist’s burgeoning sexuality, but many other personal aspects of her life that will resonate with readers."

Very powerful story that I think most people could relate to in some way.

TW: Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self harm, suicidal thoughts.
