Escape Velocity

Ben Brazee. Pronoun: Motherfucker. If you go fast enough, you can escape earth's orbit and become a free flying body in space.

I here pledge to use whatever privilege I have to defend those who will be targeted as a result of this election.  (feel free to reblog with details of what you’ll do, I’m donating money to pp tonight as well as making a list of what ways I can use my privilege to keep other people safe.) **also if its not safe for you to openly pledge or admit privilege, don’t feel pressured. If it’s not even safe for you to openly act as a shield for others, don’t. It is safe for me to protect other people, and even if/when it becomes unsafe, I’m over 18 and ready to accept those consequences. Don’t let yourself be pressured into doing something that wouldn’t be physically/mentally/emotionally/whatever-ly safe for you. Protect yourself, so I/we can also protect you.**

I was asking myself just now why they have “16 and pregnant” but not “16 and impregnated a girl” but I realized it would be pretty boring to watch a 16 year old boy play video games and go to school and live life as normal

Black lives matter is nothing more than an anti-white hate group, unfollowed.

[quoted-books]

theladiesofhistory said to quoted-books: Oh, I’d love some recommendations too! I’m a huge Neil Gaiman fan and usually avoid YA. Anything with a female lead is 👌🏻

I do love Neil Gaiman! I love listening to American Gods especially his intro- I think he would be a fascinating author to have a conversation with! Here are some books that I think would be worth you looking into to see if they interest you or if you have read them before!

I hope you don’t mind- I’m going to split this one up over two days as I’ve never done a readalike for Neil Gaiman! So today shall be books that are related to loving him and tomorrow I’ll post some strong female leads that may interest you as well! :)

1. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell by Susanna Clarke - Gaiman, himself, wrote an article about why he loves it so much. You can find that here if you are interested!

2. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett -This is a bit of a cheat, but I think Pratchett has some quirky tendencies in his own books much like Gaiman…this is a good one to start with to see if you like Pratchett’s style as they wrote it together! I love it!

3. The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell

4. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon

5. Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

6. The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton - one of Gaiman’s inspirations

Thanks for the question! I love getting them! Happy reading!

An excellent selection.

“I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”
