see it's passages like these that leave me no choice but to think those two would have tremendous deranged homoerotic murder potential if left unrestrained by notions of civility and discipline

Pellew who knew him as a mid and acting lieutenant, who was presiding over the trial when it all went wrong, who has been keeping track of the wanton destruction that brilliant and promising young officer has left in his wake, who is dreading finally meeting him again after so many years

Who's going to write this with me?

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.

frodo getting criticized for decades for not doing much / not being a hero compared to sam is fitting when you consider mental health and strength is often trivialized. frodo carried the most dangerous and insidious item in middle earth for YEARS. ancient beings (elves, gandalf, etc) were taunted and tempted by it. boromir was corrupted within weeks without even touching it. men and hobbits turned against their brethren for it. killed for it. and frodo, with a wound from a morgul knife, bore it’s weight when no one else could. had it been anyone else, middle earth would have fallen.

no, he couldn’t have done it without his samwise. but isn’t that a lesson in itself?

One of my favorite things about the Aubreyad is how POB does literature… things. I don’t know the right word here. The Mauritius Command is basically narrative foils the book (Jack and Clonfert, Maturin and MacAdam) Desolation Island is basically foreshadowing the book (can’t say without spoilers but I’m rereading it right now and HOLY CRAP did he foreshadow a lot).

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

Alexandr Alexeevich Borisov - Seals (1912)

From the diaries of the artist: «It was very difficult to work; I had to cut the brushes, make the bristle short, rub the colors was almost inconceivable. <… > The hand is cracking, it is breaking; the roaring hands refuse to serve. But you draw, all thirsty to put on the canvas these bizarre, gloomy, full of peculiar beauty paintings of the Far North» (source)
