I will be calm, I will be mistress of myself!

The difference between bravery and cowardice is action. Do not dance on the knife’s edge between the two, wield the blade and push through.

I always loved how back in the day before cellphones, people were unreachable if they weren’t at home. You can call but I won’t be there to answer. You can leave a message but you don’t know how long it’ll be until I hear it. You don’t know if I’m home, but you will have to make the trip to come to my house and knock on the door, hoping I’ll be there. And if I’m not…you can’t reach me!! Now that everyone has a cellphone the expectation of being reachable 24/7 is so disastrous. And let’s not even get into read receipts. I think one of the worst times of my inner peace is when I had an apple watch and suddenly every text and phone call and notification was on my freaking wrist, even if my phone was giving the illusion of distance by being in my pocket or bag or charging in another room. I stopped using it in 2022 and I’d rather eat a jean jacket with no water than ever be so connected again. “oh you can just turn off notifications!” not the point.

i do think there is something so exceptional that something as rare and beautiful as an eclipse is something you should not look at directly because it might permanently damage your vision. a partial eclipse is so bright it hurts to look at, a total eclipse breaks and the light overwhelms your vision.... at the risk of sounding trite it does feel like that element of cosmic horror that is too much for a human to behold without losing something of yourself. i luv space

Hey, can I challenge the Christian userbase in here to consider how we use language, specifically the word 'retard'

I've only ever seen that word put on my dash by the Christian blogs I follow, and it makes me very sad. We should be using loving words that uplift and build people up, not words that are slurs and used to put people down.

It's careless and thoughtless, and serves only to anger people or put them down. It's a word with a long history of abuse towards people with intellectual disabilities, and we should be aware of that. (And yes, I am aware that it was originally a clinical diagnosis. But words change meaning overtime, and is that really the context you're using it in?)

I like my men like I like my horses: tall, about as afraid of me as I am of them, eating hay, never mind this was funnier in my head

Not to be a luddite on main but the defense "well you're just like the people who were against cars or who thought cinemas were just a passing fad" is actually faulty at its very core. There are thousands of things that WERE passing fads. That didnt last. Thousands of things that were unsafe and didnt work out. We're removing asbestos wherever we can. We're removing mercury. We stopped bleeding people to cure them. Eating goldfish alive and standing at the top of a pole were fads. Even heelies didnt last, for a more benine example. Just because the thing that is being opposed is 'recent' doesnt it mean it will last forever or is necessary a good progress.
