“You know, ‘I can’t breathe’ – that wasn’t just George Floyd. A lot of people have felt they couldn’t breathe.

Every day you’re waking up and getting these tweets and you just don’t know, and you’re going to the store, and people who have been afraid to show their racism are getting nastier and nastier to you.

You’re worried about your kids and your worried about your sister and ‘can she just go to Walmart and get back into her car without someone saying something to her.’ And you’re spending so much of your life energy just trying to hold it together.

This is a big deal for us just to be able to get some peace and have a chance for a reset and the character of the country matters and being a good man matters. I want my sons to look at this, you know… It’s easy to do it the cheat way and get away with stuff, but it comes back around. 

It comes back around. This is a good day for this country.

I’m sorry for the people who lost, for them, it’s not a good day. But for a whole lot of people, it’s a good day.”

“Everyone saw in my face evil traits that I didn’t possess. But they assumed I did, and so they developed. I was modest, and was accused of being deceitful: I became secretive. I had a strong sense of good and evil; instead of kindness I received nothing but insults, so I grew resentful. I was gloomy, other children were merry and talkative. I felt myself superior to them, but was considered inferior: I became envious. I was ready to love the whole world, but no one understood me, so I learned to hate. My colorless youth was spent in a struggle with myself and with the world. Fearing mockery, I buried my best feelings at the bottom of my heart: there they died.”

— Mikhail Lermontov, A Hero of Our Time (trans. Vladimir Nabokov)

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

#wtf haha

You ever read something so disgusting and abhorrent that you want so desperately to force your soul out of your body, never to return, because existing on the same planet as some people is just that painful? Yeah, fuck whoever wrote this.

sometimes i think about how constellations are an entirely man-made construct and don’t actually exhist inherently in nature. i mean, the universe just gave us stars, and we saw art and myths and stories in them. the capacity that humans have for seeing purpose in the incidental makes me realize just how lonely we are on this planet, desperately searching for meaning elsewhere in the universe.
