Battle at Carp Creek
In the shadow of the 80s, two gangs of high school boys turn a quiet creek into a battleground, wielding tridents in a savage fight for dominance. As the water runs red and bodies fall, nature watches with eerie patience, ready to feast on the aftermath.

I can die happy now that I've been boosted by @lisamelton. #RiteOfPassage #LisaBoosted
Forget graduating school: the passage into adulthood should be sailing around the world solo. Call it the Rite of Circumnavigation.

Cheese rolling: an ancient Celtic rite? Another cheese roll and wake is behind us. Our UK correspondent, Liz Williams, reports from Cooper’s Hill and raises some hypothesized Celtic origins of the festival.

Interesting article about #FrankOcean at #Coachella and the mass production approach of some groups like Blackpink and performances including DJ sets. -> @timjonesbooks
Music festivals are a great place for some people to discover new music & I'm enjoying the livestreams. For in person attendees it seems to be a dance party and an experience, almost a #RiteOfPassage
For performers the experience is more mixed. The bigger the listing, the higher the expectations. https://www.theringer.com/music/2023/4/20/23690896/frank-ocean-coachella-festival-weekend-1-2-cancellation

Psychogeography at the threshold of desire: Andrei Tarkovsky's sublime STALKER (1979) is on #BFIPlayer from today

The characters are fully realized. The tropes of the genre are respected, but critically examined. The pace is fast moving, the action interesting, the technology appropriately awe-inspiring, and the humanity of the characters evident.
How do you rate the absolute pinnacle of a series, the Heinlein Juvenile, that doesn't belong to the series? I rate it highly. /FIN
The character's progress from annoying misfit to engaged member of her authoritarian polity, told in the first person in the guise of a memoir of her Trial, is engaging and thoughtful. The book is steeped in the overpopulation issues of the 60's, but the ecological collapses brought on by various forms of fundamentalism, economical and religious, still resonate today. /3
Respectful to the genre while sometimes savagely and subtly commenting on it, Panshin has written the story of a young woman who is the daughter of the administrator of starship made of a miles-wide asteroid as she faces her rite of passage, her Trial. /2
My #BookReview of #RiteOfPassage by #AlexeiPanshin:
https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/comment/2233637172
One of the cornerstones of 1950's SF was the Heinlein Juvenile, a series of a dozen young adult science fiction coming-of-age novels written by Robert Heinlein. Authors who grew up on them have attempted to reproduce them, since. None but Panshin have gotten it exactly right. /1

@dajbelshaw It's definitely a #RiteOfPassage issue - in the US, the recognized legitimate paths for the last generation or two has been university for middle/upper class and military or college for lower class. It seems like this transition to the new world of work needs new rites...
