The North America and Pelican Nebulas : Here lie familiar shapes in unfamiliar locations. On the left is an emission nebula cataloged as NGC 7000, famous partly because it resembles our fair planet’s continent of North America. The emission region to the right of the North America Nebula is IC 5070, also known for its suggestive outlines as the Pelican Nebula. Separated by a dark cloud of obscuring dust, the two bright nebulae are about 1,500 light-years away. At that distance, the 4 degree wide field of view spans 100 light-years. This spectacular cosmic portrait combines narrow band images to highlight bright ionization fronts with fine details of dark, dusty forms in silhouette. Emission from atomic hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen is captured in the narrow band image in scientifically assigned colors. These nebulae can be seen with binoculars from a dark location. via NASA

Every time minorities on tv get killed off, showrunner keep trying to make excuses by telling us they died to ‘further the story’. 

What they’re really saying is “This was never your story.

You’re not the hero. 

Even if you thought you were. 

Even if you thought you could be.

It’s never going to be about your struggle, your journey, your feelings, your triumphs. 

It’s never going to be about that, because you don’t matter enough to have that. 

You’re just a tool in someone else’s life. 

You’re disposable.

We can lose you, and things will be better off for it. 

It was never your story, and it never will be.”

And, again, if you can’t understand how damaging it is for marginalized people to constantly have that be the message they get from media creators, idk what else to say, really.

not to sound dramatic but the scholastic book fair in elementary school is the most pure and genuinely happy place i’ve ever experienced in my life

[pruholcombe]

AMEN. It was one my favorite parts of every school year.

One time, right before third grade, I had an uncle who actually drove the Book Fair truck, and he let my sister and I sneak in and take as much as we liked--it was like being in a candy store.

Looking back, I realise how messed up that was, but still. Best present an extended relative ever gave me.

modern fallen angels shivering in their beds at night with an ache in their bones and an itch under skin that has never felt like theirs, a feeling that they are something biggerbetterbrighter and blinding themselves with incessant memories that neverstop and missing home, missing their wings and their divinity

angels texting each other at 3 am “i miss the sky” and “do you remember what it was like to hold the world in our jaws because that feeling feels further and further away every second”

angels in classrooms, angels taking the bus, angels at grocery markets, angels in art studios on friday nights, angels at coffee shops, angels in bookstores, angels working minimum wage; people shudder when they pass by, or they stare too long from across the room and their eyes sting a little because there’s still power there, mortals can still feel it, even if they could never put a name to it.

fallen angels with a righteous sense of justice, still too good to know evil, not sure what’s right or wrong anymore because this world is not dichotomous; there is no easy choice. modern angels with guilt and regrets, what that must mean on a divine level. angels with glowing palms and golden eyes, the remnants of a god too big for any room. 

angels who feel nostalgia for planes they can’t even comprehend anymore, angels earth-bound and wingless and clinging to each other in raw daylight when everything feels like too much and not enough. angels with anxiety, angels with sweaty, shaking hands, angels with ptsd, angels at dusk imagining god in the city lights and trying to understand what purpose means. maybe not theirs, but at least its something tangible.
