what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{4.5/5} “The Hoveny… had spread itself that far and possibly farther before its interstellar empire collapsed — around the same time Humans were four-footed shrews. Study of the Hoveny Complex was one of the most highly funded fields of research among Trade Pact cultures, given that newer species were determined not to repeat whatever mistakes […]
Albert Bierstadt was an American painter who painted a lot of landscapes from the American West in the 19th century. The painting of his that I had a poster of when I was at university is “Among The Sierra Nevada Mountains, California.” Here it is: Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California (1868) He has many […]
{5/5} “I remember everything.” Dollhouse season 2, aired in 2009-10 Ballard tries to take down an arms dealer, with Echo’s help. He becomes her handler, and promises to help her rescue the actives. When Senator Daniel Perrin tries to expose the Dollhouse with Madeline as his witness, they are surprised to find that Perrin himself […]
{4.5/5} “There was, I granted grudgingly, reason for the Clan to be so desperate, to act with such disregard for individuals. It was at the root of every being’s existence: to have a living future. That, as Morgan would say, did not make it right. There had to be other choices, better methods. Some costs […]

She talks with them about acting but also other topics such as motherhood, feminism, […]
{4.5/5} “You have touched the M’hir. Part of our unconscious selves is always there, mingling on some level with all other living Clan, as the air on your ship moves in and out of all our bodies. The M’hir is inseparable from the Clan; it gives us abilities and strengths your species needs machines to […]
{5/5} “Suddenly the Bandage-Men were fighting their beasts and taking their outcasts. And passing word from one village to another, and though that seemed the least of what we do, ten years has shown me it’s actually the biggest change of all. As the Order grows and prospers, villages will become more and more used […]
{5/5} “We are cast out, all of us… See what that means? No lawgiver will come save you. No community will step in to provide for you or protect you, save that which we make together. Leave me and starve, if you will… Or stay with me and obey me, for to me is given […]
{5/5} “The ancient order of environmental engineers and first responders traced their lineage all the way back to the Farm Revolutions that ended the Anthropocene on Earth, and started the calendar system people still used today. According to old Handbook lore, the Trickster Squad — Sky, Beaver, Muskrat, and Wasakeejack — founded the Environmental Rescue […]
