“The man who lies ill in bed sometimes discovers that what he is ill from is usually his office, his business or his society and that through them he has lost all circumspection with regard to himself: he acquires this wisdom from the leisure to which his illness has compelled him.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human, 289

I had so much fun doing this Emmrook DA:I-style tarot card commission for my sister that I decided I wanted to do one for Fitzsimmons, so here it is! Showcasing the medpod and Fitz's sacrifice (and Jemma's rescue) for maximum emotional damage because that's how I roll. I took inspiration for their pose from the cover to the 1987 edition of Robert Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land by artist James Warhola, of all things. I think it turned out really well.

If you're interested in a print I'll be posting it to my Redbubble (shop @/eclecticmuse, Tumblr hates outside links) later today and if you'd like to commission me, I'm open! Info in my pinned post.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

shoutout to those moments when you're writing and not only can you get the words out of your head, but you can get yourself out of your head too.

I love it when the story itself is so clear in my mind that the specific words I'm using to tell it don't matter half as much as just getting the story out and sharing it with someone. When I can turn off the parts of my brain that worry it'll be bad or obsess over finding exactly the right word, and I can just allow myself to get it close enough instead of forcing it to be perfect.

honestly, I think that's half the reason why I write directly into the AO3 form (I know, I know). Doing that forces me to just keep going and get the chapter done instead of futzing with it or worrying forever. It also keeps me from being too precious about my own writing because I know that if AO3 goes down while I'm writing that chapter, I'll have to start all over.

I know that method doesn't work for everyone, but it makes the whole process more alive for me. It makes me decide things faster, edit things less, and relax about the fact that there will indeed be typos.

it's a unique kind of rush, and I always miss it when it's not around. I've posted more than one fic just because I wanted to feel it again.

they're called human rights because you get them by being human. No ifs no buts. Everyone gets them. Yes even those people

This map illustrates the early global migrations of Homo sapiens—our species’ remarkable journey from Africa to every inhabitable continent. Tracing movements that began over hundreds of thoussands of years ago, it highlights how small bands of early humans ventured out of eastern Africa and gradually spread across the globe. These migrations unfolded in waves, shaped by shifting climates, coastlines…

the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try And if I get burned, at least we were electrified I'm spilling wine in the bathtub You kiss my face and we're both drunk Everyone thinks that they know us But they know nothing about All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation My hands are shaking from holding back from you (ah, ah, ah) All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting My hands are shaking from all this (ah, ha, ha, ha)
