Okay, so not only did the wonderful menomegirl include Disconnected in yesterday's su_herald newsletter even though it's not strictly fandom related, but then I get the wonderful surprise of twasadark asking if I minded if she recorded a pod-fic reading of Theophilus' Kiss! (NC-17 m/m slash, Lindsey/Dean fic). I of course was hugely flattered and agreed - and here's the result! (I haven't listened yet 'cause I'm at work and it seems a bit... not the appropriate thing to be listening to! but I will be as soon as possible! (etea okay I've listened to it now, and man! It kinda rocks! I know this sounds really egocentric but there's a depth to the story that I had forgotten was there, even in my own head I see it as little more than PWP, but there is more. Deliberately so, and the reading of it brings that back to me. *flails* end edit)

So yeah, today? Is a good day.

And a quick message for wenchpixie

That was taken by the smooshable _doodle at one of Jason's gigs last week. My boy remembered me! *flails some more*

Photographers do this for a living, every single day -- they point their lenses toward every single corner of our world and somehow make the mundane mesmerizing through their artistic eye. It's all a matter of being aware of your surroundings and realizing that there are some really amazing and interesting things to look at, even if it may just be something so simple as a wall being covered up by paint.

Oppression can only survive through silence.
