Hi everybody. My sleep cycle is totally fucked, my uterus and ovaries are conspiring to kill me (again), and I missed watching the US-Algeria game due to the above. And then our oven decided to drive Katie insane last night. Not on.

But that's okay! There are other things in the world making me happy. Like the Life (the TV show, not The Game Of) fic that [livejournal.com profile] thespatz posted yesterday. It's called Here, and it's a quiet little piece of post-finale gen, and it just makes me really happy. It's all sunshine and painful memories, and partners, and you should all go check it out. ♥

Speaking of Life, I've been meaning for ages to link to this article from the New Yorker: Is solitary confinement torture? (It can be hard to read at points, fair warning.) I started reading it mostly because I was curious about the solitary confinement backstory in Life and doing research, but the article turned out to be really eye-opening for me on a lot of other levels, and I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you're interested in Charlie Crews or not.

Huh, I'll definitely have to check out that New Yorker piece. And that fic. I'm still like 7 episodes away from the season finale though.

Wait, you still haven't seen the whole series? OMG IT'S SO GOOD WATCH IT NOW. And definitely don't read the fic until after. :)

The New Yorker piece is really excellent, and especially so if you're invested in Charlie Crews.

So after reading that article, I would say, Yes, solitary confinement is torture. And really, really gross.

Yes, this was pretty much my reaction.

Hi, I hope you won't mind but I found you through the friends list. I just want to thank you for sharing the article, it gives what Charlie went through such a new light and what Olivia Dunham is going through so horrific!

Not at all, I love new people! Especially ones who are fans of Fringe AND Life. :D

Ohhh, I'd forgotten about Olivia in relation to this. But you're right, it's totally applicable, plus she's being kept in the dark to boot; light deprivation is another form of torture. And I'm sure the idea that she's quite literally beyond the reach of any of her friends or family (who have no way to get back across without the cortexiphan kids), who are ALSO in unsuspecting danger from her doppelganger...well. That can't be comforting. Poor Olivia. I hope she burns that place down around their ears when she breaks out. :)
