I cannot get this poem out of my head. It haunts me. Joyously, it haunts me. 

[peepingnee]

This poem format is my favorite thing and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it’s origin story. I love it. Every time.

[northstareclipse]

Hyper-individualist cultures go, “Your emotions are your personal responsibility. Don’t burden others. Regulate privately. Maintain functionality. If you’re upset, process it offstage so the machine keeps moving.” Meanwhile certain collectivist or harmony-focused frameworks go, “Your emotions disrupt group cohesion. Don’t create discomfort. Don’t impose disharmony. Transcend or contain your reactions for the sake of the whole.”

Different mythology, same trembling fear that one person saying “actually, I feel terrible” will cause civilization to peel apart like wet drywall.

if I were to tell you Brazilians have been beefing with Koreans and japanese on twitter for like a week now and it began as saying koreans looked better without whitewashing and it's now an all out racism all you can eat

[tetrafelino]

I love how the main line of argument seems to be colorist koreans in their feelings going "well go and enjoy your dark skin since it looks so good" as a backhanded thing and brazilians going "???? yeah we know it looks good, that's what we're saying"

One of the guys I worked with told us a story about how, when they were doing archaeology surveys in the woods they ran into a bigfoot hunter. Bigfoot guy asked if they had seen signs of bigfoot, and he was like "Sorry, nothing like that. We're archaeologists, so we're looking for human stuff." and the bigfoot guy was like "Oh! I saw some Native American cairns on my way out here. I can give you a general location." and when he was like "Yeah dude, that'd be sick. We're actually looking to document those." the bigfoot guy was like "Yeah, they looked pretty cool. I didn't touch them though, because Native Americans built them, not bigfoot."

Thinking about it, I’m pretty sure my ancestors would be horrified with me.

Not because I’m lazy or unworthy or anything like that…

…but because one of my distant uncles was among the eight survivors of the Essex, the ship that inspired the ending of Moby Dick and sank after being rammed by a whale, and what do I fuckin do after my bloodline has this Ordeal at Sea?

I get a fuckin degree in Marine Science and go back the fuck out there.

#op its your job to kill that whale

i think we should stop calling them baby names so people remember they’re not just naming a baby but also a future twenty seven year old with a resume

[starry-night-on-the-impala]

I watch star trek sparingly mostly bcs it's harder to find and has longer seasons than I'm used to, but it never fails to make me absolutely enthralled by random women

[femboycatofmystery]

I don't know man the new Starfleet Academy show is about a generation of faculty that remembers a kinder world doing their level damndest to teach the new generation how to build one better than they've lived to see and if that doesn't sound exactly like what Star Trek should be doing right now then I don't know what to tell you
