Choose Life

• writing

In some sense, to read and write fantasy literature is to commit suicide. The Freudian life-instinct can be summed up by the choice of Odysseus (or Ewan McGregor, if you prefer), while the death-instinct is to choose the unreal, the magical, the Othered, the shadows and the mimics.

yuki_onna: In Praise of Blogging

• blogging
• writing

Back in the time known as the day, people used to make fun of me because I was a blogger and that was weird and new and out-there and uncool, with its lack of privacy and social filtering and geekiness. Now people make fun because blogging is so passe and old-fashioned and two thousand and late. They give up more personal info on Facebook in their profiles than I gave up on my blog for years. There was only ever one moment when blogging was both cool and popular, and it's long gone, vanished into respectable journalism's blurry lines and microblogging and animated gifs. When I think about it, I both feel that Mira Grant's Feed was terribly, heartbreakingly accurate in its portrayal of bloggers and their world and also terribly dated, because even now, the revolution will not be blogged, it will be Tweeted, and whatever is after Twitter, and whatever is after that. Trademarks, eating their own tails. But you know what? Blogging is still fucking awesome.

Pittsburgh in Words - Can You Say ... 'Hero'? by Tom Junod

"Holy shit! It's Mister Fucking Rogers!" This was not a bad thing, however, because he was in New York, and in New York it's not an insult to be called Mister Fucking Anything. In fact, it's an honorific. An honorific is what people call you when they respect you, and the moment Mister Rogers got out of the car, people wouldn't stay away from him, they respected him so much. Oh, Margy Whitmer tried to keep people away from him, tried to tell people that if they gave her their names and addresses, Mister Rogers would send them an autographed picture, but every time she turned around, there was Mister Rogers putting his arms around someone, or wiping the tears off someone's cheek, or passing around the picture of someone's child, or getting on his knees to talk to a child. Margy couldn't stop them, and she couldn't stop him. "Oh, Mister Rogers, thank you for my childhood." "Oh, Mister Rogers, you're the father I never had." "Oh, Mister Rogers, would you please just hug me?"
