I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo Thursday May 12

I know it's crazy all over, and I would like to do these more often, but the day job has exploded, the night job has become super stressful, there's a lot going on personally, and basically I've been overbooked for the past 6 years. So things are falling apart. I have a vacation coming up soon, so hopefully I can use that to reset. But until then it'll be catch as catch can. Sorry about the disruptions.

Patricia A McKillip, and so it goes.

The SFWA Silent Auction. (Grokked from Jason Sanford)

"I am staring at about a dozen, stiff, eight-foot high, orange-red penises, carved from living bedrock, and semi-enclosed in an open chamber. A strange carved head…, also hewn from the living rock, gazes at the phallic totems – like a primitivist gargoyle. The expression of the stone head is doleful, to the point of grimacing, as if he, or she, or it, disapproves of all this: of everything being stripped naked under the heavens, and revealed to the world for the first time in 130 centuries." Karahan Tepe, challenging our story of our cultural evolution.

It's RawStory, so adjust your expectations accordingly… "What started out as a battle between a top campaign adviser to the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and his daughter has become an exposé about the way that Russia has allegedly managed to make its way into influencing the Republican Party over the past two decades… Speaking to the Kyiv Post, former McCain advisor Steve Schmidt outlined the dominating influence of Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Davis over the GOP."
