“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”

— Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild (via books-n-quotes)

Murray is so awesome because she's Gandalf big naturals and the personified stuggle of the working class to defend institutions built by and for themselves from being stolen for the use of the rich and also rouge the bat as tall as she is wide with tits to match.

Perfect character i must say.

"We will explore. We will build. We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy. We will found companies. We will bolster industry. We will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other." —Christina Koch, Artemis II Mission Specialist

US 'unchurching' marks the 'fastest religious shift in modern history'

Far-right Christian nationalists are feeling empowered during Donald Trump's second presidency. Idaho-based evangelical Christ Church, led b

"... The U.S. is undergoing its fastest religious shift in modern history, marked by a rapid increase in the religiously unaffiliated and numerous church closures nationwide," Contreras explains in a post-Christmas article published on December 26. "Why it matters: The great unchurching of America comes as identity and reality are increasingly shaped by non-institutional spiritual sources — YouTube mystics, TikTok tarot, digital skeptics, folk saints and AI-generated prayer bots. It's a tectonic transformation that has profound implications for race, civic identity, political persuasion and the ability to govern a fracturing moral landscape."

Contreras continues, "By the numbers: Nearly three in 10 American adults today identify as religiously unaffiliated — a 33 percent jump since 2013, according to the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). That's quicker than almost any major religious shift in modern U.S. history, and it's happening across racial groups, an Axios analysis found…. The shift in religious activity also is leaving behind a trail of 'church graveyards,' or empty buildings that are now difficult to sell or have been abandoned.

The Axios reporter notes that according to Gallup, roughly 57 percent of Americans seldom or never attend religious services — an increase from 40 percent in 2000 — and that an "unprecedented 15,000 churches are expected to shut their doors this year" compared to only a "few thousand expected to open.""

No you don't get it, I'm a Good Person. You don't understand. I'm a Good Person which makes it okay for me to think violently about the Enemy, who is Bad Person. I'm commenting "you should be violently murdered" because I'm Good Person and you're Bad Person. You think saying that to someone is fucked up?? You should be violently murdered, you're probably Bad Person anyway

I wish I could tell 10 year old me that you're doing it all wrong and that is correct. That there is no way to be too good for danger. Or pain. Or sadness. That uncertainty is not a character flaw. That when you mourn a fallen wren or a wind-split tree, you're on the right track.

thinking about fury road and how there is no mythical land where everything is okay, and how the path to redemption is returning to the place you already know and making it better as you better yourself. also thinking about le guin's the dispossessed and "true journey is return" and how the revolution must be constant within us rather than a single act or movement. the citadel is a place of horror and despair but it doesn't have to be
