Hi, Clair. I’d like to come in and talk with you. Would that be all right?

[exvind]

This is the Batman we need to see more often. The one who remembers what it was like to be a scared child, one who knows how to handle situations delicately.

[valwing]

One of the reason why I love batman so much. He is portrayed as a very careful and guarded man. But he is probably the most human out of anyone. It’s why he is the knight that gotham deserves.

Re: that last panel - 

Batman, when he’s written correctly, is an extremely compassionate person. 

[ren-of-rationality]

I always feel the need to reblog this because it’s definitely something I feel was lost in the Nolan films. 

[kakaphoe]

The thing about Bruce is he believes he is not a good man, but he is.

[futureevilscientist]

More than just being instinctively compassionate, the Batman in the photoset, at least, knows (and was probably trained in, i.e. actively sought out the knowledge) how to handle a person who’s been traumatised and their sense of self threatened without further trampling all over their boundaries. he asks for permission to talk to her, he warns her he’s coming closer instead of just imposing his presence on her. That is not something you know instinctively even if you know what it’s like to be scared or went through trauma yourself, it takes awareness because it means not acting as one usually would.

This Batman is compassionate, self-aware and sensitive, so I’m not even surprised the machismo fest that was Nolan’s version did away with all that.

It is always so IMPORTANT to me when I see Batman interact with kids; he knows what it is like to be a kid who is upset, angry, sad, afraid, and hurt.

Debt.

Student loans. Grad school loan interest. Credit card.. credit cards. GOD. Im drowning under a mountain of debt. And I may die.

“… And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. ” — Romans 5:2-5 NIV.

I confess ive been foolish with where I placed my hope. I know God has called me into ministry, and so naturally I must have faith that God will provide and preserve me in every way. Why wouldnt he? And that confidence still remains. It must.

However, my hope has been short sighted. Meditating on verse 5 i noticed how a confession of faith can turn faulty. My hope had not been left to shame away. 

But not because i had milked a faith that glimmers hope for financial provisions or for some godly man to start a servant-heart family… no. Hope does not put us to shame because of the LOVE of God poured into our hearts. That HAS BEEN pouring into my heart. Most importantly, that love has been pouring into me through the Spirit, who has been GIVEN us.

My hope is (and must be) in the fact that God has been giving me himself. He didnt promise me riches or fame. He gave me himself. So although I do not doubt his providence and preservation of his people….

I will not wait and hope for it. Because I HAVE everything I can hope for. My hope that is God. That is God’s love. That is Him dwelling in me. So even if I never receive any such financial relief for the duration of my entire life… even if my womb closes up… thats okay.

I will starve. I will remain baren. I dont mind. 

If I perish, I shall perish. So long as my hope can remain in Him. 

Oh.. and remain it shall. Forever and ever.

[shoomonkey2]

Personal reminder: I spent most of today restless and anxious. I wrestled with the lot of my emotions and all I could do was cry. And I wondered where the weight dwelling in my heart came from. Then as I sought the Lord's counsel, i saw that God had placed a great burden in me. A burden to pray and cry out on behalf of the adult KM of this region. But at the end of the day, I retreat to my post. And as I lay my head on my pillow, with great intent, I comply to the discipline of rest. I decidedly entrust the day and all of its works and worries to the Lord, for I acknowledge that He is the finisher. I go to bed acknowledging that I am but a speck of dust... All because I have faith that God is faithful to complete His own will and purposes. So tonight, i will rest. I will rest so well that He will give me dreams. God-sized visions. And then I will wake up to live out those dreams in the morning. But tomorrow, I will remember the Sabbath. I will remember why I chose to rest; to bring glory and honor to Him who brings the world into completion. #happySabbath #trust #faith #hope #love #joy #peace

Word of the day: Consider. "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" ---Psalm 8:3-4. Yes. Dare I say... After all my consideration (and reconsideration) of who you are and what you have done, you are indeed worthy of all my praise and worship. O LORD, my Lord, how majestic is your name over all the earth! #reactiontoHisactions

JK Rowling`s Harry Potter Revenge on Stephen Fry.

Saw Stephen Fry live last week, and he told us this story: Just after the first Harry Potter book had been released, he was offered the role of narrating it for audiobooks. He hadn’t read it, and was simply told it was a children’s book, so figured it would be an easy afternoons work. When he met JK Rowling, she mentioned that she was writing a sequel. Stephen replied very condescendingly “good for you”.

A few years down the line, the books are selling well, and he is doing the recording for the Prisoner of Azkaban, when he runs into the phrase “Harry pocketed it”. Stephen could not say this line. It always came out as “Harry pocketeded it”, unless he said it ridiculously slowly. They tried time and time again to get it right, but to no avail. Eventually, he called up JK and asked if he could say “Harry put it in his pocket” instead. She thought for a moment then said “no”, and hung up.

The phrase “Harry pocketed it” appeared in the next four books.

The thing about this is, you can barely see their muscles straining from effort. The effort to keep each other and themselves balanced, definitely, but that guy’s hand is barely shaking. The amount of training and strength and balance to go into this is fucking insane.

Flowers float in the Mediterranean Sea in honor of migrants lost while making the perilous journey to Europe. Last night more than 80 Syrians and Palestinians refugees have drowned in the Mediterranean close to the Libyan shores trying to reach Europe.

By the way, a cautionary tale

If you find a bunch of bones that are A: untouched and B: supernaturally clean, there is definitely a reason for both of those things. Sometimes that reason is ants. Sometimes those ants are fire ants. Sometimes those fire ants have made a nest over the entire three meter area around those bones

[nonbinary-entomologist]

Sounds like someone had an adventure with fire ants

어버이주일 2015: Succulent families. Our family needs to shed some pounds, so instead of taking the Parents out to dinner, I wanted to do something more meaningful. Mom likes arts and crafts, so I figured a DIY project while soaking in a foot mask would be perfect. We had a pleasant time. :) Good night.

i like to eat alone.

sounds like a selfish excuse. because it is... but. i like to eat alone because i don't want to care about being considerate of my existence to the other person. in other words, i don't want to think when i eat. but being with others makes me feel like i need to be cautious or sensitive. from the amount i eat to the time it takes to eat it all, i don't want to think about it. 

so leave me alone. let me be.
