There was an old man who lived by a forest.

As he grew older and older, he started losing his hair, until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. That day, he called his children to a meeting.

He said, “Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it’s completely gone now. My hair can’t be saved. But look outside at the forest. It’s such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they’ll all be cut down and this forest will look as bald as my hair.”

“What I want you to do,” the man continued, “is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your descendants to do the same. It shall be our family’s duty to keep this forest strong.”

So they did. Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them. And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heirline.

I know people like to say that the reason Pippin was overly familiar with Denethor was just because of a difference in dialect, but personally I like to think that when Pippin heard ‘Steward of Gondor’ he went, “oh, like the Thain of the Shire” and proceeded to talk to him the way he’d talk to the Thain—which is to say, politely, but like an equal

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

I wish people didn’t regard mobility aids like a form of gender expression but for disability instead. this is not an “fit”. this is not a look or presentation or show for other people. this is me ambulating and that’s it.

Reblog and put in the tags the book or movie or something that you read earlier than you should have but that altered your brain for better or for worse

(and I don't mean fandom brainrot)

#Dragens kys by Josefine Ottessen #may have been a bit too young for the cunnilingus and heavy sexual metaphors #but stars was it also good and tackled a lot of things that changed me

One time my rabbi told us, “imagine you had a box with a little bit of god in it. What would you do with the box?”

So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”

by out loud, i mean a discernible “haha,” giggle-type noise (or whatever your laughter sounds like). basically if it’s not audible enough to be used in a laugh track of some sort, it doesn’t count (example: exhaling through the nose).

#so much it embarrasses me a bit now that I live somewhere with quite thin walls

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

if he was still alive I know in my heart that Terry Pratchett would have done a bit about Igors and Igorinas doing gender confirmation surgery by now. going into a lab full of bubbling vials and picking out a penis from a tank the way you pick a lobster. that one, please. you gotta be careful though because they'll really try to upsell you into getting two or three installed. people going to the clinic as pairs and just having parts swapped out for a discounted rate. maybe you actually just trade brains, that's even easier. Igorth have already been doing that thurgery for thenturieth.

I've been trying not to call people mean names when I get into arguments so now my default when I get a lil frustrated is to say "babe" which as u might understand is not particularly conducive to customer service

In my book someone is eating some sci-fi baked good for breakfast and immediately a craving for frøsnappere hit me like a truck. I miss my dad's baking so much. Maybe I'll pass by a café and see if I can at least find a decent danish. (<- I hope I'm using that word correctly despite being Danish I am not one hundred percent sure. I think it's the english term for wienerbrød, which is in and of itself ironic since the direct translation of that would be along the lines of "bread from Vienna")

#danish baking reigns supreme #and most of all my dad's croissants and kanelsnurrer reign supreme #kirokiro

I think if Harrow saw a baby she would cry. I think she would be too scared to even touch the baby and would hate the way it cries but she would not hate babies. My poor wet rat of girl knows the value of life and probably thinks the fact that babies have more bones than adults is cool
