I Don’t Know Who Made This Artwork, But I Feel Need To Share It Since This Is An Incredibly Important

“I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.”

— Theodore Isaac Rubin

I really need someone to write a book on this

It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.

I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?

Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.

When it comes to phrases and sayings, I've noticed that a good way to test their validity is to see if they also work in reverse.

"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" - If something isn't making you stronger, it's killing you.

"If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid" - If something looks smart on paper but doesn't work in practice, it's still stupid.

"Treat others as you would wish to be treated" - Don't treat yourself worse than you would treat a stranger.

"Any job worth doing is worth doing well" - if something's not worth doing, it's not worth half-assing either.

"When there's a will, there's a way" - If you truly do not want to do something, it will be impossible no matter how easy it should be.

I want to go see this in real life

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

Tumblr fans…

"Miles never went anywhere without carrying an air of his mother’s love about him, always obviously a boy who was loved. And to learn how to love at the table of a woman like Rio and a man like Jeff was to care and care and care until it became devotion."

- from this fic on ao3 (i never got over that quote. i've read it for the first time a year ago and it stuck with me still)

“It’s never too late to start over. If you weren’t happy with yesterday, try something different today. Don’t stay stuck. Do better.”
