If you, like me, are deeply concerned about this out of season pruning of LA street trees, why not fire up your ol’ email browser and shoot a message over to the good folks at LA’s Urban Forestry division (san.trees @ lacity.org) and let em know your concerns about how pruning at this time of year might lead to unseasonal growth spurts that can cause freezing damage, as well as how it might delay or damage the tree’s dormancy period. Just really worried about those trees and the health of these trees, this has nothing to do with wanting to make sure these evil bastards get punished for their fucked up bullshit. Just pure tree health concerns over here at maeamian dot tumblr dot net.
Two updates, first, LA Controller Keneth Mejia is on the case (thank you if you joined me in voting for him), secondly WGA is asking people to sign this petition because the same fucking studio is doing a construction project that eliminates the sidewalks and has not properly set up barriers to protect the sidewalk leading to a real bastard of a public safety hazard that has already seen two writers hit by cars. Pretty fucked up, if you ask me.
Hey hey great news, LA’s Urban Forestry Division is also Officially Looking Into It, issuing a statement that roughly amounts to “We did not authorize this and will be looking at fining them” All those emails did the trick everyone great work! If you’re still looking to help out, that petition about the OTHER public safety hazard hasn’t been addressed by anyone with the authority to make the necessary changes, so give that bad boy a signature.
yesterday i was talking to a Guy and i asked what time it was and he git really excited and said “time for you to get aaaaa…. SUNDIAL!!” and then started talking about sundials and sounding like a fucking commercial and i pointed out that sundials have to be in one specific spot to work and he got all nervous and asked if i’ve tried a sextant. what the fuck
not to sound like Sundial Salesman Guy but … he’s lowkey right, if you’re in a place with a fair amount of sunlight. two weeks ago i was hanging out with a little kid when she wondered aloud what time it was. i looked at the sun, adjusted my body a bit, put my elbow on the ground with the arm up perpendicular, and told her “it’s about 12:45.”
then she had to get a watch to see if i was right (pretty much — it was 12:50), and then i found myself explaining cardinal directions and sundials to a preschooler
ANYWAY MY POINT IS that no, sundials don’t require a fixed place for efficiency, only enough sun to cast a shadow & awareness of your relative direction, and knowing this is great but going on about it makes you sound horny for ancient Rome
if you don’t know how to make a sundial but need a guesstimate on how much daylight is left, hold your hand out at arm’s length horizontally and count how many fingers fit between the sun and the horizon. it’s about 15 minutes a finger.
sometimes i think about the fact that eden hawkins was named after the garden of eden. sometimes i think about plucked apples and a paradise turned sour and a girl, with nothing to hold onto and everything to lose. Friends who saw her as something to twist, a mother who barely saw her at all.
For months, she lies dead in the well. No one misses her.
Sometimes I think about Eden Hawkins and how the first person to respect her body and her boundaries was the demon possessing her. Sneering at every person who said something about eating, ripping into a boy who had nothing but leering eyes, and telling dodge, telling the world, telling jackie, that she will not be treated like this.
sometimes i think about how the only person who cared about eden hawkins enough to show teeth was the same thing infesting her mind.
sometimes i think about how eden, frozen and dead for weeks, with her eyes milky and her fingers sharp, was thrown off a cliff by people who didn’t care about her at all.
Bode, writing in his diary with a glitter pen : dear diary, today I banished an otherworldly demon by burning it from the inside with my rainbow lightsaber…. *draws a smiley*
if i found out that my boyfriend is a gender fluid demon that tries to steal my keys and acts like a child because they’re new to living, I would simply put a leash on him and say that if she murders someone again or tries to fight my little brother, they won’t get any type of affection from me. rip to kinsey but i’m different
