#WritersCoffeeClub 26: A snippet of a favourite scene

After basically hijacking Cascade with his Main Character Energy despite not being a POV character, this is the first bit we get (unless you have read the limited edition tie-in chapbook) from Ian. Here, he's reflecting on three years of captivity and torture (fun).
You’re a field mouse. A fuckin’ field mouse. And at first, you have nothing but choices.

From your low vantage point in the tall, golden grass, the sky is azure and big as God. Your tiny mouse heart flutters, your tiny mouse brain incapable of contemplating the infinity that dwarfs you. You can run in any direction. The grass is a forest, an ocean; you grasp a stalk with your tiny mouse hands to hoist yourself to the surface. Here, a hawk swoops; there, the steel teeth of a combine lie in wait to crush your small body in its jaws. Here a creek sings to pull you under and fill your straining lungs with water; there, a snake scents your blood. You’re a field mouse. A fuckin’ field mouse. And at first, you have nothing but choices.

With each direction, a death, inconsequential to the murderer, apocalyptic for you. With each direction, a closing of possibilities, an extinguishing of your small selfhood. And what was once an open field is now a labyrinth, through which you may scurry, hunted by the world, and from which you will never escape.

Until the day that steel slams shut on all sides of you, and there is only the gleam of cold metal, your own starved and deformed reflection stretched in its sheen, only one path forward. Not a labyrinth of bad choices but a trap of none, no longer a field mouse but a lab rat. No longer a thing to be hunted but a thing to be vivisected, to lie pinned and flayed at the world’s mercy. To live, and suffer, and die, and live again, the air forced into your lungs and your heart squeezed into beating. And you marvel, a skinless, bleeding nub, thrashing beneath the scalpel, at how powerful you once thought the hawk. With each direction, a death, inconsequential to the murderer, apocalyptic for you.

I try to imagine myself doing the challenges, but somehow I always end up getting yelled at by Ramsay while a medic sews my fingers back on.

"Tlaib Says Netanyahu 'Should Be Arrested' in DC"
by Brett Wilkins for Common Dreams [Jul 23, 2024] [bird video incl]

https://www.commondreams.org/news/rashida-tlaib-netanyahu

"It is a sad day for our democracy when my colleagues will smile for a photo-op with a man who is actively committing genocide."

"Netanyahu is a war criminal committing genocide against the Palestinian people," Tlaib (D-Mich.)—the only Palestinian American member of Congress—said in a statement ahead of the Israeli leader's scheduled speech on Wednesday. "It is utterly disgraceful that leaders from both parties have invited him to address Congress. He should be arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court."

"While the ICC has not authorized Netanyahu's arrest, its chief prosecutor has applied for warrants to apprehend the far-right prime minister and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged crimes including extermination and forced starvation, as well as three Hamas leaders for war crimes allegedly committed during the October 7 attack on Israel."

"Dozens of Democratic U.S. lawmakers and Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont have said they will skip Netanyahu's speech. Vice President Kamala Harris—the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee—has declined to preside over the prime minister's address as Senate president, although she is reportedly planning to meet privately with him on Thursday."

"It is hypocritical to claim to be concerned about the massive death toll of innocent civilians, and then turn around and welcome the person responsible for these war crimes to our Capitol," Tlaib added. "Their silence is betrayal, and history will remember them accordingly. Our government must stop supporting and funding this genocide now."

"Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Democracy for the Arab World Now, said Tuesday that "it's hard to imagine a greater blow to American credibility and standing around the world than for our Congress to host the prime minister of Israel, an indicted and hopefully soon-to-be-arrested war criminal, responsible for the gravest mass atrocities against Palestinians the world has ever seen. "It's a great stain on our nation that our elected leaders have chosen to honor the leader of a country facing prosecution for genocide, apartheid, and illegal occupation," Whitson added."

And libs wanted this guy for POTUS?

Over 180,000 unhoused people in California. How many of those booted from encampments will get a shelter bed, let alone permanent affordable housing?

Tommy Seiler: "The lesser of two evils, indeed. If you look at the massive 'homeless budget' of CA, you will find only a small fraction goes to building units. Of course. The top rungs of the Dem party are controlled by real estate speculators, and big finance scum. They are not going to build say 40,000 or so units, to try and replace the ONE MILLION that have been lost in just ten years in CA. That would be competition for the rich landlords and their rising rents, and evictions to convert etc. So when he says, in another article, "this is to put pressure on the cities to do their job", he knows damn well cities DO NOT have the money to build tons of affordable units. cites have NEVER had that money. It always was mostly fed and state money. So here you go....the ruling opens up , even though it was legal to sweep before note that, tickets and jailing of homelessness. LA is such bad shape. My god. "There were still 45,253 homeless people counted in the city and 75,312 people unhoused in the county, the authority reported."

Some do. For years I have thought he was too slick and would not support his—seems likely—Presidential run until he got nominated.

But, always remember that in California politics, the Republicans have, despite terrible results since Schwarzenegger, never moved to the center. Even with the obvious note that Schwarzenegger did not mess with all the things, like culture wars, that the current GOP emphasizes. Thus we vote in Democrats who disappoint over the troglodytes.
