Fly It Free for All to See

I've been listening to KMFDM's Hell Yeah more and decided that I definitely like it. While WTF?! had some great songs and some eh songs, Hell Yeah is more consistent. (For those interested, Hell Yeah is dance-y electronic laced with industrial and metal crunch, while WTF?! is more straight industrial and metal electronic.) Also, it's a great album to get yourself pumped up to Resist, be a badass, do all the things, work out, dress and make yourself up to go out to a club, decorate your Christmas tree to (I did), go assassinate some people, whatever.

Though there are some brief moments that sound a bit like Duran Duran(!!) to me, like a musical bit at the beginning of "Rip the System V2.0" and the "Rise up" vocals in "Freak Flag."

I appreciate how many badass female vocal songs the band has given me over the years.

As another proof that you shouldn't use the number of comments on a fic at AO3 as an indicator of that individual story, my "Clarity" is blatantly getting comments about the whole And Yet, Hayama Hayato Can Still Surprise series for being the last fic available in it since the end of September.

Speaking of which, I got a positive comment on it that contained an assumption about where the series is going that I disagree with in a big way and I'm trying to figure out a good way to say the commenter is so wrong. The struggle is real.

According to Tumblr, there are some young folks social-justice-shaming older LGBTA+ folk for using the word "queer" to describe themselves and others because they think that historically "queer" was a slur. What? Kids, that shows you don't know jack about history, and every word you use to describe yourselves was and is a slur. Self-identify as you please, but don't impose on those of us who've actually lived through times and have our own self-identification and an urge to use a word that's an umbrella all of us can get under. Educate yourselves. I'm not gay, I'm not a lesbian, I'm bisexual and thus queer so, to quote a slogan, I'm here, I'm queer, get used to it.

I was checking out free songs available at Amazon.com and saw that Foo Fighters have a free 5-song EP called Saint Cecilia if anyone's interested.
