"This story is a tragedy because it didn't have to end this way."

vs

"This story is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way."

[sindri42]

I submit for your consideration:

'this story is a tragedy because along the way we got just enough glimpses of alternate timelines and barely-averted prophecies to know that somehow, the way it turned out is the best it could have gone'

Finally, a worthy challenger!

This textile is TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

It looks like it could have been made last year. It is SO bright and whole. I am staggered.

We really are never going to stop stripping this land bare

those mountains are older than Saturn's rings and they want to blow them up and hollow them out for cell phone batteries

[puri-kura]

i don't know if folks outside these mountains understand what a state these communities are left in after being ravaged by the coal and steel industries. they endured well over 100 years of paternalistic brutality to provide the resources that built america with nothing in return and that very much informs the culture and collective psyche. force fed opiates to undermine labor movements and hard-won unions after decades of horrific abuse at isolated company towns. living there you can feel how we're all just one giant open wound that can't heal.

if bringing in corporations to mine raw materials from the appalachian mountains was good for the community, appalachia would be known for how happy, healthy, and wealthy the people are.
