girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

Here is what my mother told me when I was young: the world is harsh. It is unforgiving and it has teeth. Take no shit.

Here is what I have learned from the world: it is wounded and the humans scattered throughout it are rarely the rats of Rat Park, they are the tired, trembling experiments in need of more kindness, not less. Do no harm.

Here's what I have learned from the world: humans are good. They are soft, and gentle, and they are wounded, all of them. When humans were young and wild, they looked at the snarling beasts that came to their fires, the ones with sharp teeth in their long muzzles, and they saw soft fur and the welcome-home wag of a tail.

Here is what I have seen: Given an opportunity, humans will choose creation and love. They will create art, and music, and community. They will tell each other stories, sing each other songs, help each other heal. Even without safety, even when it wounds them, they will love. They will love each other - their family, their friends, their mates - and they will love the world.

Here is what I have seen: there is hope. Sometimes it is ugly and twisted and burns, but humans will hold onto it with both hands and their entire heart. They will share it with one another. They will use it to tame beasts with fur and teeth as well as the ones that live inside of themselves. They will create because of it; they will say I hope this makes someone smile, I hope this makes someone cry. I hope this saves someone. And it will.

Here is what I know to be true: evidence of a healed broken bone from thousands of years ago reminds us that what makes us human isn't our wounds, but how we care for one another through them.

Here is what my mother told me: the world will gnash its sharp teeth at me. It will try to wound me.

Here is what I know to be true: I am human, and humans heal one another and can turn sharp teeth into wagging tails.

NASA advertising "do you want to be an astronaut" to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?

I like how you can genuinely tell how familiar all the archangels and Crowley are. Crowley is not talking to them or acting like they are unknown power figures that once were his bosses in any scene. But like he is speaking with familiars who he has so much of a past with and he knows inside out. Aziraphale regards them with a feeling of carefulness, he both regards them and their position respectfully and very tense, has to put on a different , careful face to them even in the second season as well. He has such kind of a forced respect for them that shows.

Crowley looking at Micheal and Uriel in the elevator to the earth and saying funny old world, while both of them looks at Crowley with really? expressions but not disregarding him or smiting him for daring to say things like that, not acting to him like he is a low class demon. Weirdly they regard him higher than they regard Muriel, a fellow angel no matter what. Sarequel does actually trust him and let him lead the situation himself.

And the way Crowley knows Gabriel inside out, how he would stand there looking at his angel statue, how he actually believes after talking to him alone that he is genuinely telling the truth about his memory because he knows him very well. The way he is testing him at that scene, his careful and calculated attitude to the other archangels while he is with Aziraphale turned into 'ok we are two of us in this room you don't have to keep up the pretense, I know you and you know me.' attitude.

It is weird how Aziraphale didnt catch up on that.

I'm a law abiding citizen but something about working six times harder than my grandparents for a sixth of what they had is persuasive

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

#everyone who’s ever died of a disease had an immune system #antivaxxers are basically eugenicists who believe themselves to be ubermenschen #they are social darwinists. it’s nazi ideology #’I’m healthy and fit and better than all you other plebs survival of the fittest I’ll survive and my superior genes will thrive’ #that is what they believe #they believe that using ‘artificial’ means of protecting yourself from disease is cheating at nature #they want ‘inferior’ humans to be weeded out by passive means so that they don’t have to actively do the genocide themselves #like seriously whether they realise it or not they are subscribing to nazi ideology #and it’s a way of making themselves feel special and superior #it’s also very ‘leopards eating faces party’ because they never think the disease-leopards will eat THEIR faces #antivaxxers #anti maskers
