There are some shows where I simply mentioned in passing that I'd watched the weekly episode, so I don't have a lot to save from different tv_talk Speak Up Saturday posts.

Back for S1 of Tracker, I think I just have a reply to someone asking about whether E2 was better than E1.

Around S1E2

From here:

The overarching matter of Colter's family and backstory gets some progress, but I'm not sure if it's really enough to hold anyone who can't tolerate the weekly case. (It might be something that won't be easy to judge until later.) Colter didn't meet any past one-night stands or hook up with anyone new and he avoided needing bailed out of jail, so that's not shaping up to be an every episode occurrence. I think in some ways S1E2 was better, but it might depend on how you tolerate fictional depictions of cults and getting someone out of one. For a one-off episode, I could tolerate it, but I'd rather not run into a repeat of this type of case in the show (the resolution is kinda simple, and extracting someone from a high-control group often isn't that easy).

After S2E9

From here:

Woven throughout the case-of-the-week plots, Colter has spent quite a bit of the first half of this season trying to solve an old case where he never found the person he was asked to find (the sister of his then-girlfriend). I haven't found that quite as compelling as I suspect TPTB wanted it to be. He engaged in anniversary-of-disappearance harassment, his gut instinct was sorta right (which seems to justify the harassment), he got a retired cop to help go over the case who physically tortured someone for info, and it was only satisfying that the case was finally finished so all this could stop. It probably wasn't supposed to come across like an escalation of lines being crossed, but I just didn't get this 'how nice that he'll stop at nothing to help someone' reaction.

I know this might seem like a nitpicky detail given how common of a trope it is, but I just don't like when torture is used as an accurate fact finding method. I followed a torture debunking Tumblr for too long to still think that's true; I'm unsure if they're still on Tumblr in 2025, so I haven't linked them (given the heavy topic, they took scheduled breaks in order to safely engage with torture research). I kind of liked that S2E10 had a local cop drive Colter out to the middle of nowhere in order to slow his search down. Just felt like a nice break from the torture happy retired cop.

I'm going back and trying to re-find comments I made in the tv_talk community about some shows.

My family watched season one of Fire Country before I had a DW account. This picks up with talking about season two, which was the truncated one affected by the writer+actor strikes.

S2E1

Here:
I'm still not a fan of a twist in the S1 finale, but this episode does make it clear that this season won't be focused on slogging through the minutiae of undoing that twist since there are two time jumps. (Angst fuel for anyone who likes filling in time jumps via fanworks, I suppose.)

For anyone who wants less vague-to-avoid-spoilers details: The S1 finale was focused on Bode going before the parole board in an effort to be granted parole and released to his mother and father. Basically corrupt prosecutor stuff happened, and the only way that Freddie [Bode's friend in Camp Three Rock] would get his parole granted would be if Bode took the fall for introducing the drugs to the camp that someone else did. There was this whole thing with doctored urine results, and Bode was really set up to look like he'd relapsed and shot his whole season of any possible growth out of the water. So, S2E1 opened with him still plunged into this angsty, annoying 'I'm now evil incarnate' mindset where everyone would be better off without him.

Around S2E4

Here:
The narrative is really trying to get two characters back together, but I think I'm at a point of postshipping them. I'm not interested in another 'will A chose B or C' type of plot line; we spent part of season one doing that.

Also: I'm not sure exactly where, but I did comment somewhere before the end [below] that I was thrown off by Sharon basically having an 'everything is fine' depiction of life post-kidney transplant. I didn't want her to face serious complications, but like, she didn't even have a throwaway line about needing to take her anti-rejection meds or something.

S2E9

Here:
While Fire Country did bring up the sentence shortening credit [for lifesaving acts of heroism] early enough that it doesn't fully feel like some sort of deus ex machina tactic, I can't help but wonder if having this short season for S2 interfered with the writers wanting Bode to finish his sentence at Camp Three Rock a little slower. Him being nominated for this credit really feels like a way to have him suddenly out for the last episode instead of feeling like we really saw this coming. (No one else in camp has been nominated for this credit before, and it wasn't like Bode got nominated a few episodes ago and just found out his case made it through the paperwork and stuff. He found out he was nominated, passed all the way through, and will be released shortly in, like, one sentence.)

S2E10

Here:
Gabriela married Diego in the season finale, and I really hope the narrative will move on from Bode/Gabriela. It spent, like, nine out of the ten episodes in this short season with some amount of trying to at least nudge (if not push) them back together, and I've reached a point of post-shipping them. I don't care if someone new has to be introduced for Bode, but it feels like there's so much that we could be covering if the narrative would stop focusing on that ship.

While Three Rock turned out to say goodbye to Bode as he was officially released as a parolee, it kind of felt flat when Bode was only ever shown positively interacting with one other inmate there this season. Did he actually have any acquaintances or friends there? [Someone having a sorta friendly conversation in an episode where he gets a terminal diagnosis and panic-runs away from camp isn't what I mean.] I can understand why we're not seeing fully fleshed out stories for all 10-15 other men, but with this season including a brief arc to save Three Rock from being closed, it just seemed like we could've seen more about inmates other than Bode.

Sharon just magically is completely fine in a post-organ transplant life, and while I wouldn't want to see complications just to spice things up, it's like there's absolutely nothing about adjusting to having gotten a transplant. Considering that this season introduced a work injury to Vince [electrocution] that led to heart issues, there could've been something about Sharon understanding why he was clinging to being able to work so much. S1 showed her already being treated for kidney issues, so we didn't really find out if she had a phase of being in denial. I dunno, it just feels like we definitely had a short season that didn't actually address certain things.

The week of October 30th to November 6th [2020]:

For tagging purposes, I’m still putting #hitching post on this, but this probably won’t be satisfying for those accustomed to the usual list. This has pretty much been the week of not thinking about the 2020 election, which led to marathon posting that will be gradually revealed.

Podcasts community - In an effort to distract myself on Nov 3rd itself, I posted a promo for Khôra Podcast [here].

I shared “We can’t vote in San Quentin prison. So we held a mock election” [here].

PC - From this comment thread, Matrix is a federated alternative to Discord [see matrix.org]. The most common way of accessing it is through Element, which has desktop and app options.
For those who may not be aware, Supernatural is in its last season (only two episodes left, for realsies this time), and this week there was a bit that has caused a stir. Jak’s post has a link to the scene if you want more than the briefest spoiler in a tumblr post.
The role of Grindelwald will be recast because Johnny Depp exits the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

Lots of state specific election news have been crossing my dashes (and some of my FB feed), but I definitely don’t want anyone to think these are just the most important highlights. Heads up for brief talk of drugs:

“Oregon became the first state to decriminalize small amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs.

The Oregon measure would make possession of small amounts of what have long been considered harder drugs a violation, similar to a traffic ticket, and no longer punishable by jail time. The law would also fund drug addiction treatment from marijuana sales taxes.” [New York Times; also explained in “Oregon leads the way in decriminalizing hard drugs”]

Several other states had drug measures, as well. [“From Marijuana To Mushrooms, Voters Want Drug Laws Eased”]
“[...] Turner — a queer, Black Muslim who wears a hijab and identifies as nonbinary — won a seat Tuesday in the Oklahoma state legislature‚ becoming the first openly nonbinary state lawmaker in the country.

Elliot Imse, the group’s communications director, said that Turner’s win was one of several on Tuesday to break the “rainbow ceiling.” Voters in New York elected the first two gay Black men to Congress, while Sarah McBride in Delaware became the country’s first transgender state senator.” [The Washington Post; Sarah McBride also mentioned in “Transgender Candidates Make Election History”]

The week of October 16th to October 23rd [2020]:

More collectively mourning Covid-19 content: Turns out some people have not been watching the weekly PBS In Memoriam segment since April 17th (and think No One’s Airing Anything), and they don’t seem to have thought of the social stigma around coronavirus and Covid-19 when coming up with a window decal to indicate households affected [link]. I mean, I get that it’s old content by now, but it kept turning up in search results and I had thoughts.

Potentially of interest:

Coy shared [link] that TAAP has added Dreamwidth as an option for the monthly Pride Chats.

Siggy shared [link] an AUREA article looking how the definition of platonic varies.

TJ - Crowdsourcing suggestions to ‘try to live my life in a way that creates an environment so there's not pressure to reveal information about attraction or gender any more than other personal info’ [link].

~Killer300 - The way therapy is (and is not) shown in fiction [link]. I don’t have enough thoughts all together to make a comment, but one of my (not abandoned, just percolating on the backburner) fics features therapy, so it’s more that I have a little mental flag saying that I should pay attention. Another therapy post [link]. I feel horribly seen, in a “learn to bottle emotions for coping reasons for years and then walk away from therapy at the beginning of this year because it’s so frustratingly focused on emotions” sort of way.

More collectively mourning Covid-19 content: The Covid-19 Week of Mourning ended this week, but there’s a March For The Dead online memorial coming up on the 18th of October. (March For The Dead is based out of NYC and times are based on EDT in those event details.)

For some reason, I read some articles from the latest Transformative Works and Cultures Journal (#34). While I shared the gender identity exploration quote from a piece about expanding the idea of white, cis women as the Default Fan, I was a bit ‘eh’ about the gender breakdown used in the paper (in comment). I also managed to trigger some dysphoria around gendering voices and podfic [post].

Instead of the yearly ‘it’s okay if you can’t Come Out’ type of post on National Coming Out Day, I shared a pdf about Inviting In [post].

History Community - I reblogged this post into it (sharing news of the Indigenous Digital Archives Treaties Explorer) because I just momentarily forgot I could post directly into the community without posting to my fort first. (Sorry >.>)

~kosame’s been looking at some ace fic stats {part two, part one}. It seems rather timely given this ask sent into ao3commentoftheday’s tumblr, but I’m a bit confused by the use of “aro-ace spectrum” in the answer and replies.

The AUREA Feedback Form will be open until October 10th.

Comments:

Coy - How do you decide who to make friends with? I didn’t leave a comment, but I did reply. (I disagree with the basic premise that I can look at someone’s outfit and determine how much effort they put into it, but I also suspect this bumped up against personal baggage. As a fat person, I have to put what seems like ‘more’ effort into not looking like a ‘lazy slob’ to others, especially when you add in the unclean bit. Like, someone could see me walk out of a shower and put deodorant on, and they’ll still comment that “some people need to learn what a shower and deodorant are” because fat.)

Sennkestra - Commentary on the book Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski (comment 1, 2 - this brake metaphor sucks (although, I am being reminded that parking brakes are a thing), and 3 - stop with upholding normalcy).

Coy - Masks should be free. Nothing important in my comment, but thanks to this comment thread, I did find out that the US Postal Service proposed a plan to deliver 5 face masks to everyone in the country back in March/April.

Siggy - I left a non-productive, fluff comment, but after reading this post, I did find out that David Jay is not some random ace guy who sometimes gets name dropped (nor is he just that tri-parenting dude).

Ezran - Thoughts on transandrophobia [link]. I’m not necessarily opposed to it, but it currently makes more sense as a concise and easily tagged term instead of using a phrase on tumblr. (Comment thread eventually got distracted by how people use transmasculine and transneutral.)

Sennkestra - Wug drama [link].

Potentially of interest:

Apparently, poison pen letters are a thing.

Ezran got a conversation going about childhood associations of gender, color, and/or personality with numbers (and some letters) [link]. I didn’t feel like commenting would be worthwhile because I didn’t do that as a kid.

Offsite [tumblr] - A personal comic from the creator of Rejected Princesses, which includes mentions of depression, passive suicidal ideation, and internalized self-hate of men. It’s not connected to the discussion of transandrophobia from above, but I couldn’t not notice the internalized self-hate after going through Grey’s transmasc tag. {ETA: Pillowfort crosspost.}

~redbeardace - August TAAAP Chat Notes: Activism. Planning a day trip like the example given of going to a parade with a group as something to do that “isn’t very hard” takes all the stress of planning an out-of-state vacation, compacts it into a trip to a (potentially in-state) different city, and then acts like very little planning went into said trip.

Siggy - Shared the discussion notes of the Ace Journal Club [comment]. I have the distinct impression that I’m not in the same book and nowhere near on the same page as Przybylo about talking about the erotic.

Sennkestra - The ‘Ammonite’ trailer is reviving criticism of creating a romantic life for Mary Anning. If I’m going to watch historical fanfic via movie, I’d rather cry about Tray [comment].

Comments:

Siggy shared an explanation of Roko’s basilisk here. I still think that Roko’s basilisk actually sounds like a better basilisk (or lizard) species name.

Coy - Has anyone heard of a new site called Sweet? Comment: Some of it sounds nice in theory, but I don’t think I’m rushing there.

Lou has some thoughts on generational slang. Personally, I’ve found that site specific slang fits more than some hazy generational thing because there’s usually some degree of intergenerational usage of a site.

Sennkestra shared a red rainbow, which is not something I’d heard of before.

Potentially of interest:

Siggy inquired into what exactly is meant by GNC/gender non-conforming.

Kate’s submission for Open Questions for Aromantic Research.

{ETA: Pillowfort post about this. The rest of the links still go offsite.} The Scots Wiki controversy.

An American teen with no knowledge of Scots managed to edit/write and mangle approximately one third of the wiki articles in Scots. According to this article, the person began editing articles at the age of 12 (currently 19) and has poorly written 20,000 articles and made edits to 200,000. This article explicitly lists the user and explains a bit more on how this person managed to do so much damage.

The week of (roughly) July 10th to July 17th [2020]:

Offsite [tumblr] - Reposted “This Is Not A Normal Mental Health Disaster” (shared full article under a cut for those who can’t access it).

Offsite [tumblr] - Shared “Gee, Officer: Why Are There So Few Plays About Cops?”.

LGBTHistory - Shared a POZ article about the AIDS Memorial Quilt.

Comments:

~belowdesire - If one were interested in (re)watching shows, Project Free TV might be a useful resource to know about. You can’t find every show, but it might help with watching, say, Netflix shows.

PC - How did the lime green/turquoise quoi flag become more well known than the question mark quoi flag? I don’t know, but I’m also not sure why people don’t use non-quadrilateral shapes in flags more. It might be less than ideal for digital art stuff, but weird shapes already happen with offline flags in other uses, so why hasn’t anyone borrowed that for pride flags?

Siggy - Disidentification with asexuality is essential [comment]. Ah yes, the unexpected and somewhat embarrassing relief of letting go of guilt you didn’t realize you were holding onto. Also commented about wanting past-me to have this in certain Allo vs Ace discussions with some in the tumblr aro community.

Posts of interest:

PC’s post about wishing we could get specific with blacklisting and whitelisting by user. I still have a vague wish for sitewide tags specifically for blacklists to catch that would be separate from an individual’s tags, but I do like this idea for how to blacklist user tags as they get used now.

Coy shared a relatable video about social media algorithms.

PC put this joke post about DNI banners on my feed (the comments go into BYFs, DNIs, and mostly tumblr). I can understand the reasoning for why DNI banners started to get used by aesthetic blogs on tumblr, but I’ve got to admit that what has gone across my dash in the years since then has created a wariness around DNI banners.
