Definition of a tropical depression, according to NOAA

“Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) are usually called “tropical depressions” (This is not to be confused with the condition mid-latitude people get during a long, cold and grey winter wishing they could be closer to the equator ;-)).”

I finished #LesMiserables today.

6 months’ worth of lunch hours as I found, time and again, that a 150-year old book set 200 years ago on another continent continues to be relevant in ways I wish it wasn’t.

I wish everyone had the time and patience to read it. I think a lot of people would gain valuable perspective from it. Or maybe not. There are people who read & watch superheroes & take the use of power as the lesson, not the efforts to help the powerless.

I’ve been posting more on birdsite than here, and collecting my thoughts on my blog. For the previous read-through I ended up doing way too much plot summary, but this time I managed to keep focused on reactions and (some) analysis

Recent posts include Javert’s breakdown and the way Valjean’s ending tracks with a descent into depression.

No one accused it of being a happy book.

Telling people to ignore/power through depression/anxiety/etc. is like telling them to ignore low battery alerts. Even if it works for a while, they’ll eventually crash. Workarounds are like battery saver mode: helpful, but not as good as fixing the app drain, battery or charger.

@natecull I think The Last Jedi pushes back against this. Poe fits the description a lot better than Luke does, and his whole arc is learning that it’s a problem. Finn’s a counter example. And I see Luke more as someone dealing with depression and trying to push everyone away than someone who equates being a jerk with heroism. And even then part of the point is that he has to push through it.

Valjean also dies because he gets so depressed that he stops eating or drinking.

screaming-in-the-dark:

I just watched les mis with my sister and I was thinking
What did Jean Valjean even die from
Now that I think about it how did Fantine die
Did anyone in the movie actually die from anything or did they just expire or something

Fantine dies of tuberculosis.
