There's something about being with these boys. I don't know, it reminded me that the only guarantee you have as a human being is that you are going to die. And if you're lucky, you get to choose how to spend those last moments. And you're right, Pete, this moment matters. Every moment matters. Especially at the end.

It's Knight Time; fealty, love, and a whole lot of swords.
Some of these aren't your typical knights, but they protect their charges or kingdom with their lives regardless, and honor their oaths.

read a book review where someone said "I didn't like X character so I skipped all their chapters. really wish this book had [thing present in X character's chapters]."
and.......I guess that's fine because we're all free citizens in this beautiful world, but I didn't know you could do that. I didn't know you could just skip chapters.

I’m still really obsessed with Ratthi for shutting down Gurathin’s argument that Murderbot was only PRETENDING to watch Sanctuary Moon by tricking Murderbot into having an emotional reaction in front of other people by lying to its face about Sanctuary Moon. A very funny and very clever move but also one that could only be pulled off by someone who is himself familiar enough with Sanctuary Moon to know how to piss off a Sanctuary Moon superfan in 5 seconds or less. An icon and a legend.
And It Worked.

“I remember when I first realized I never had to have children. It was like walking out of a narrow alley into a wide open field. I never have to get married. I never have to date anyone. I don’t even have to care about sex. These realizations were like gifts that I gave myself.”

important stats from that article about why calling local leaders matters:
One phone call = 100-1,000 angry voters.
One personal email = 10-50 voters.
One form letter = maybe 1 voter, if they even count it.
This is the economy of political pressure. Individualized contact influences 94% of congressional offices on undecided issues. Mass email campaigns? 18%. Petitions? Worthless.
But here's the secret that changes everything: State officials are sitting ducks.
State Comptrollers generally receive 5-10 constituent calls per month. State Treasurers? Many have never experienced a coordinated campaign. District Attorneys? Only hear from victims and lawyers, not voters. State Legislators? They average 20-30 contacts per week.
The magic happens at these thresholds:
10 calls in an hour = staff notices.
50 calls in a day = emergency meeting.
100 calls in a day = office shuts down to handle it.
500 calls in a week = policy change consideration.
1,000 calls = historical precedent shows this forces action.
Constituent contact increases legislator support probability by 12-20%. The Net Neutrality campaign's 1.3 million calls changed federal policy. The ACA defense campaign's 6,000 calls prevented repeal. At the state level, you need 100x fewer calls for the same impact.
this fantastic article has sample scripts for what to say about ICE in your state and city, as well as what to ask for to help your city and state fight federal over-reach where you live
we can win this fight, but we need to fight. I know on a personal level how hard it can be to make calls, especially to politicians, but we've reached a point that if we don't, the slippery slope into the chasm of tyranny becomes a cliff
