thinking over and over and over of that clip from a maya angelou talk about the importance of knowing one another's history. no matter how brutal no matter how bleak no matter how despairing no matter anything because the only way through it is to go all the way through it. and the only way to build anything with one another is by having gone all the way through it because otherwise there is no connection. whats a connection worth that's built on ignorance? sustained by ignorance? "only equals can make friends" she says. only equals.

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[katharkness]

Caesar was tipped off by a seer and still showed up

*goes to egg your house but I find out you're vegan so I ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce your house instead*

[ruinedhands]

Okay I hear you, but that's not going to work. As always, when you're thinking of vegan egg substitutes, it's important to think about the purpose of the egg in your recipe.

Eggs are used in this recipe because they smell gross and don't come off easily (due to their tendency to harden/cook in the sun). This is not a situation for applesauce, which will come off in a light rain.

While unconventional, the substitute you're looking for here is sourdough starter. It's goopy, it'll smell atrocious in the hot sun, and it'll harden onto the walls like cement. If you try to get it off with water, you'll end up with a sticky dough.

Just make sure to respectfully ask your target if they have a gluten allergy before doing this - wouldn't want to trade one evil for another.

This has beautiful synergy with "let me get this bitch's pronouns before I curse them out" in the game of hate

“Crystalline Light,” reduction linocut, 2025. By William Hays

[testosterowned]

SCROLL UP THAT'S NOT A PHOTOGRAPH!!!!

[neonkarkki]

Okay but I don't think "that's not a photograph" is enough for this. That's a reduction linocut and I'm just going to assume a whole lot of the people here won't know what that means or google it. It means that the artist has had a linoleum block and has made this image by carving pieces out of it bit by bit, printing layers upon layers at different stages of carving to get the layered colours on the final print. Hypereaslistic paintings and pencil drawings and such are impressive, but I beg you all to look up how linocuts are done to get an idea of how this has been done.

[tlirsgender]

Yeah yeah yeah scroll back up it's-- LINOCUT?

The disbelief and fear on Percy's face in this shot after Luke punches him. He is scared of what Luke is doing to him, the way he's hurting him. He disarmed Luke, yet he is STILL hurting him. He is only thirteen, and the guy he thought was his first friend at camp is actually going to kill him

[jazz-i-guess]

there is something SO palpable about the guy who taught him the rules of sword fighting, of honourable battle, to be the first person to break that honour, to hurt Percy in a way that is so brutal and visceral.

Percy has been bullied for most of his life, but this guy who showed him what it meant to belong in the first place is the most vicious attacker out of anyone he has faced. Even Aries, the god of war, held to the rules.

brutal.

Rereading The Way Of Kings sucks because you’ll meet a silly little bridgeman named Pleeb and youll be like “woah I wonder why I don’t remember this guy hes so neat :))” and then two chapters later Pleeb is shot 57 times and then run over by a 2005 Toyota Prius

“I very proudly entered the forestry school as an 18-year-old and telling them that the reason that I wanted to study botany was because I wanted to know why asters and goldenrod looked so beautiful together. These are these amazing displays of this bright, chrome yellow and deep purple of New England aster, and they look stunning together. And the two plants so often intermingle rather than living apart from one another, and I wanted to know why that was. I thought that surely in the order and the harmony of the universe, there would be an explanation for why they looked so beautiful together. And I was told that that was not science, that if I was interested in beauty, I should go to art school. Which was really demoralizing as a freshman, but I came to understand that question wasn’t going to be answered by science, that science, as a way of knowing, explicitly sets aside our emotions, our aesthetic reactions to things. We have to analyze them as if they were just pure material, and not matter and spirit together. And, yes, as it turns out, there’s a very good biophysical explanation for why those plants grow together, so it’s a matter of aesthetics and it’s a matter of ecology. Those complimentary colors of purple and gold together, being opposites on the color wheel, they’re so vivid, they actually attract far more pollinators than if those two grew apart from one another. So each of those plants benefits by combining its beauty with the beauty of the other. And that’s a question that science can address, certainly, as well as artists. And I just think that “Why is the world so beautiful?” is a question that we all ought to be embracing.”
