WILLOW: Buffy! How come you weren't in class?
BUFFY: Vampire issues. Did Mr. Whitmore notice I was tardy?
XANDER: I think the word you're searching for is 'absent'.
WILLOW: Tardy people show.
BUFFY: Right.
WILLOW: And, yes, he did notice, so he wanted me to give you this. (hands her an egg)
BUFFY: As far as punishments go this is fairly abstract.
WILLOW: No, it's your baby!
BUFFY: Okay, I get it even less.

Cleaning ALL my non-fandom links out of my to-rec list. Enjoy?

How Nicki Broke the Blueprint (YouTube) by FD Signifier. She's been going ever farther off the deep end the past few years, but damn when she was good, she was good. I really loved this older look at the hip hop landscape at the time she got big, and what she meant to a lot of female hip hop fans at the time. EDIT: LOOOOL apparently FD retitled this and put a new thumbnail on it a month ago. The video is still good, though!

The Year Without Sunshine by Naomi Kritzer. Short story about mutual aid and community building during an apocalypse. Hopeful.

Older LGBT science fiction database. I've not really explored this yet, but seems cool.

Why the Democratic Tea Party Failed (and How It Could Succeed) (New Republic). What this article says about the giant hole in mainstream normie liberal media has shifted my whole perspective of the political landscape and the barriers we're facing.

Twins’ peaks: The Gilbertson brothers want to rewrite your country’s map (originally NYT). About two mountain climbing brothers who are measuring a bunch of tall peaks with more accurate instruments. A fun coda to all my mountain climbing reading last fall.

What Horrible Things Did We Do To Our Penises Last Year? (Defector). You cannot read these all at once; it'd be like looking into the sun. You have to savor.

‘I can understand being brought to your knees’: Amanda Seyfried on obsession, devotion and the joy of socks (Gaurdian). Really interesting interview Amanda Seyfried and director Mona Fastvold on The Testament of Ann Lee. I read a number of pieces on the movie, but this was my favorite.

Buffy: Well, I'm patrolling!
Willow: Buffy, you're sick.
Buffy: No, I feel fine. I mean, I'm... the world's spinning a little bit, but I like it, it's kinda like a ride.

Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

Gunn: "So, are we talking Armageddon - or bad house number? Is it a bad event - or a bad guy?"
Wes: "It's not clear on that. It predicts the arrival or arising of the Tro-clan, the person or being that brings about the ruination of mankind."
Gunn: "So it's a two for one. Isn't that nice."
Wes: "And I'm not sure on the translation. Ruination may in fact mean purification."
Gunn: "Purification? So this Tro-clan is a good thing?"
Wes: "I doubt that. But it's purification in Aramaic, ruination in ancient Greek and in the lost Ga-shundi language it means both."

January music post

Feb. 1st, 2026 08:41 pm
snickfic: (anya bunnies)
[personal profile] snickfic
I have ambitions of writing up monthly music roundups. We'll see how long I last, lol.

First, to make sense of my music listening at all (and reading, and movie watching, and...) it's important to know that my brain ties media really closely to the season and the weather, so whatever time of year I first read/watched/heard that thing, that's when I want to do so again. At this point I'm familiar enough with how this works that I can explicitly identify music that will make my brain happy for various scenarios. "Cold and sunny? Time for Endless Summer Vacation again."

Themes of the month
1. Women of hip hop! I returned to my old favorites Glorilla and Doechii (discovered January 2025). I also listened to a TON of music by other artists. I went through several Megan albums, Cardi B's most recent album, and then spread out and explored albums by a bunch of newer artists like Monaleo and KenTheMan.

2. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants by Oasis (discovered January 2020). It turns out my fancy earbuds combined with being able to download music in higher quality means I can hear more things. In fact I found out in January why "Fuckin' in the Bushes" has that title. Overall this will never be an absolute favorite, but Gas Panic and Where Did It All Go Wrong are always great, Roll It Over is solid even though it was better live, and I guess I'm warming up to Go Let It Out. Also I don't care if Put Your Money With Your Mouth Is is nonsense fluff, it's a vibe, don't @ me.

3. Love and War by Fleurie, an album apparently designed specifically to make fanvids to, or possibly to use for end credits. (Or even to get sampled by Kendrick Lamar, just to cross some streams.) I first heard it in December and listened to it some more this month. Is "cinematic emo soprano" a genre? Great stuff.

Top artists (by # of streams)
1. Oasis
2. Megan Thee Stallion
3. Glorilla
4. Cardi B

Favorite songs:
* girl, get up by Doechii featuring SZA. This one really grew on me: that mellow beat, SZA singing the refrain on the chorus, and of course Doechii doing her thing. "I'll address it on the album." Yesssssssssss, I cannot WAIT.

* S/O to Me by Latto. I'm really conflicted about this one, because I love her flow and the theme of forging her own path, but OTOH the whole verse about how she doesn't like women and specifically doesn't want to hear about "post-partum or menopause" feels pretty gross. A very mixed bag. Still one of the songs I listened to the most this month.

* Accent by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Glorilla. Dark heavy beat with very silly subject matter. Just a fun time.

* Wrong One by Glorilla featuring a bunch of other female rappers. Glorilla and her girl group!! Again, just fun.

New artist to follow:
YK Niece, entirely for Goin On and specifically the "way way bigger" line. I love it so much.

WILLOW: So scabby demon got away?
BUFFY: Scabby demon number two got away. Scabby demon number one, big check in the slay column.
WILLOW: I don't like this whole no mouth thing. It's disquieting.
BUFFY: Well, no mouth means no teeth. Unless they have them somewhere else...

Buffy: So you traded up on the food chain. Then what?
Spike: No, please. Don't make it sound like something you'd flip past on the Discovery Channel. Becoming a vampire is a profound and powerful experience. I could feel this new strength coursing through me. Getting killed made me feel alive for the very first time. I was through living by society's rules. Decided to make a few of my own.
