Syd saying she needs Richie, and he's her partner now.

Not Carmy.

When she knows all about his Mikey stuff.

Carmy telling Syd he's leaving, when he knows the last thing she wants right now is to be alone?

That last scene is them very intentionally trying to hurt each other because they both refuse to say what they really feel and want from the other person.

Doing some rewatching and feels like all season they've been working to try to make the other jealous and come clean and neither of them want to make the first move.

Shapiro literally told Syd he was going to call Carmy. She just didn't know the timing of it.

Carmy is sitting there making plates based on what she's wearing in front of her face, I'm no longer sure any of that shit was ever subliminal? He was trying to get her to act or say something and she never does.

Dancing with Claire in front of her at the wedding to get back at her for dancing with Richie.

Remember earlier this year when Boeing very clearly had a whistleblower executed? And law enforcement didn't even look for anyone or release any info about it or anything?

People keep comparing Luigi Mangione's case to the subway murderer who got off because of systemic eugenics, but I think there's something more apt about the fact that a CEO had someone executed in recent memory, with zero attempts to find a culprit, while they spared no expense at all to find (and probably frame, it's beginning to look like) someone who shot a CEO. It's always fine to slaughter if you're rich, but if you kill the rich, they will hunt you down.

you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you people are next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!

[cadillacjohnf1]

all the CEOs shocked that the general public would celebrate their deaths...as if they wouldn't sign off on the deaths of thousands of 'customers' just to get a slightly bigger Christmas bonus

"We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."

~ CS Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Is it just me, or does this seem even truer today than it used to be?

[kamala-laxman]

No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened. - C. S. Lewis

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization — these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit — immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.”

-CS Lewis, The Weight of Glory

How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been; how gloriously different are the saints.

Do not waste time bothering whether you “love” your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone you will presently come to love him.

[blackwoolncrown]

not to be divisive or pit two bad bitches against each other but too many of you romanticize the idea of being Mary, mother of "wtf do you want from me, woman? You DO get that I'm the son of god, right?" and not Mary, Jesus' favorite disciple, rich and generous, who made half the other disciples jealous and got ~secret teachings~ after class

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Palestinian author Diana Buttu said something that struck me and that is regarding the ways Israel is trying to conceal its genocide in Gaza, and one of the ways is in fact continuing to kill Palestinians so that their testimonies are no longer there.

Remember this the next time you doubt the value of sharing and posting online; you're not only elevating Palestinian statements and amplifying their calls for freedom, you're also helping keep their stories alive despite Israel's efforts to disappear them.

according to zionists, you can just say that your god promised you something and you are therefore allowed to steal from innocents and slaughter them to get it.

Also it means basically anybody could claim an already existing country and say my ancestors were here 2000 years ago, god promised this to me and now im gonna kill every single one of you, colonize this land and make it MY home (a home i have never set foot in and im not originally from).

Do you hear how fucked up this is ? Nobody should be allowed to do this shit but here we are.
