I think I took a mild bitch-slapping a few (more) threads back in the weft over my "casual" use of the acronym of BLM, with several taking issue of the ease of conflation with Bureau of Land Management. I'm not bitch-slapping here myself, just exhibiting my PTSD-trigger and wondering if I will bother to dump KSR/RCT/ACT through a search engine? I do love a good TLA myself, so maybe I will dive down that rabbit hole (or up the gyre of falcon/falconer <https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming>). > On 9/16/21 9:30 AM, Roger Critchlow wrote: >> There's a PTSD character in "Ministry for the Future" who is the sole >> survivor of a mass climate fatality.
