How fucking DARE you talk about due process and blocking legislation. You worthless fucking swamp turtle. Go home and die.

If this were another police shooting of a black person, I’d expect it to be filed under Racism and discuss how racism permeates police culture. If it were a rape, I could expect it to be filed under Misogyny, and address that topic. Even if these are not the motives for the individual events, refusing to address…

As a Kansas City resident, this saddens me to no end. No one should endure these kinds of abuse and pain. People are people, and if you hurt or try to hurt another person you are a monster.

That’s fair. Though, I’ve read Colour Out of Space, Roadside Picnic and Book 1 of Southern Reach (trying not to sound smug, I promise), and the latter two just would not exist without the former. It’s more than just the first; most that followed are reminiscent of it. My thinking is that the author of this article…

As I understand this article, the Colour Out of Space certainly has a Zone, but it doesn’t fill the same narrative purpose of Zones as they have in later works. This article is about how these stories have people who enter the Zone in order to reach a destination or attain a goal, but the victims in Colour Out of…

*MAJOR SPOILERS*

It’s pretty strange to write a brief history of The Zone and not bring up The Colour Out Of Space. That novel is basically page one in the history of Zones.

The cool thing about Area X(the name of The Shimmer in the book series) is that, if you pay attention, it’s entirely explained by the end of the series.  Also it doesn’t even really matter because the story is about the characters and not Area X.

That’s basically how much garbage I produced when I lived by myself.  If you can get it down to a bag or less per week I think you’re doing pretty good, personally.

Geeze, and I was mildly smug about my single, not even all the way full, bag of trash a week. I couldn’t come close to this, though I can at least say I rarely ever throw any food away. I meal prep and Sunday is prep day. I produce 90% of my garbage on Sunday, which is unfortunately a lot of plastic (my worst offense,…

It’s fine, if you can compost. Otherwise, it’s just more garbage being shoved in a plastic bag, sealed and buried in a landfill. 

I mean... of COURSE it was a Mason jar.  *eyeroll*

Fitting all of your nail clippings into a mason jar, however, is pretty easy.

I am wholly convinced that I would wind up rightfully convicted or arson if I lived in an HOA neighborhood for more than a year.

This is a prime example of why I refuse to live in a neighborhood with an HOA. HOA’s exist solely to breed petty tyrants with nothing better to do than take rulers to your grass or some shit.

My small children would also find this hilarious.

My mother in law got cited by her HOA for having a loose dog. She doesn’t even own a dog. Even worse, the head of the HOA is someone she knows (and had a bit of a falling out with) and is fully aware she doesn’t own a dog. Living in one of those communities would be my personal version of hell.

I have small children and would find this hilarious. 

This is what you get when you live in an HOA neighborhood. If you think your HOA won't eventually turn into this you're a very naive person.
