Got a surprise writing day today, and I'm muddling through an intense WWI battle scene with alien, starfish-shaped walking tanks and heat-rays a la H.G. Wells.
I know the outcome of this battle, just not how to get there.

I don't really post much to social media anymore, but I thought I would report that after 29 years I finally watched all of #Babylon5 - I gave up during the telepath arc in season 5 when it was first shown.
Turns out that was a mistake, because it got pretty darn good after that! The Centauri story was really well done (and tragic, even though we basically knew what was going to happen).
The LotR analogies I've heard about the show held true given they gave each of the major characters a sending off at the end too 😁 (also "going beyond the Rim" is really obviously "sailing to the West"). And the last episode "Sleeping in Light" was really nicely done and very sad.
Though they did leave a few threads dangling... (like what happened to Bester's girlfriend, and what happened with that urn at the end)
But overall, it's a fantastic show and was really fun to watch it all again :). I'm off on vacation for a few weeks but maybe afterwards we'll watch Call to Arms and Crusade. #scifi

An apt visual representation of our times.

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
