saying “you are a burden on society” is just such a weird framing of priorities It’s like saying “wow, think how much better gas mileage your car would get if you weren’t sitting in it” or “think how dry that umbrella would be if you weren’t holding it in between you and the rainstorm”. the things we create? they’re for us. they are meant to carry us. they are meant to protect us. we are meant to hold them up to keep us dry.

why do we even have a society if not to take care of each other?

Ok it’s been so hard for me to pin down my love for The Raven Cycle but I think I am finally hitting it.

I will preface this by saying that I’ve been calling this series epic poetry—there’s loosely a plot but I don’t think anyone is here for the plot. The plot sucks, if you can even call it a plot. It’s even hard to recall the order of events sometimes and i’ve read this series many times.

Part of the beauty of this series is how Maggie has a thesis statement “time is a circle” that she states over and over “memory and clairvoyance is the same thing in different directions”. She starts the series—the first line—by telling you exactly what happens at the very end of the series. “Blue was going to kill her first love” —“gansey died”. You can feel it even if you don’t see it at first. Maggie uses prophecy not as a play-by-play of the plot, like most prophecies are used for (i’m thinking of percy jackson specifically but that isn’t the only one) but as proof of her thesis that everything has already happened and will happen and is happening. and i think that’s so cool!!!!

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

My therapist always says “reading is a healthy hobby” and every time I’m like “girl not how I do it.”

I don't think every character ever needs to be shipped with someone maybe they just need to be shipped in some sort of box alone to a location

minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son

Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.

Why is measles back in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.

Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.

Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.

What contributed to the Covid outbreak?

Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.

“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.

Please give credit to Matthew Cortland, the disabled lawyer and activist whose work is reflected in that last screenshot. They work hard on documenting what Trump and his cronies have been doing & they deserve credit.
