MESSAGE TO ALL BITCHES: WE ARE SURVIVING THIS YEAR NO MATTER WHAT.

alr srs question. i want to name a new oc i have thats essentially a fantasy character. hes v much that soft looking outside but tsundere and a bit violent if that makes sense? anyway ive been searching and i came up w/ 舞英 (wǔyīng) and from what ive found it means dance; flower, blossom. i just want to check if thats accurate. i want a flowy flowery kinda name for him idk how to describe it. these are first names btw. i was also thinking 青蓮 (qīng lián) meaning blue, green, young; waterfall, lotus

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

remember those who could not make it to today. honor their memory. live for them.

this year, more than ever. remember those who have perished. live for them. live for yourself. existence is resistance

internet's been real messy

we all probably need a break so have this cat

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

I know this isn’t viable for all Americans and in general I wouldn’t recommend it (given how difficult it can be) but I know a lot of vulnerable people are desperate and feeling very unsafe in the USA right now. I’m not judging anyone, which is why I am providing this information with no bias what so ever.

Americans should also know that Canada has every single systemic social issue that the USA does, so moving here is not going to necessarily get rid of these issues. They may be less severe in some ways, more severe in others but there are serious issues here, so if you are considering this please don’t uphold Canada as some kind of utopia.

I am also available anytime to answer any questions.

I just woke up and.... to my American friends: "There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men bad enough for......all this."

I offer a shoulder, a hug and a venting space during these hard times.

no matter the outcome of this election: organize, build local community, build strength in masses. elections aren't the only time politics happen, it also happens on the streets, in the community and by mutually supporting each other.

the way forward is together. we build power from the ground up. in the US and everywhere else in the world.

a better world is possible and we can start building it now, by ourselves. anarchism starts in the now.

It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus!

Hocus Pocus (1993) dir. Kenny Ortega

don't you think going out in the woods would be great? don't you think seeing sunlight peaking through the trees would be beautiful? don't you think hearing the soft breeze caress all the leaves would be healing? don't you think breathing the clean and natural forest air would be truly marvellous? What about all the soft moss, don't you think touching it would be wonderful? don't you think that?
