therapy is such a scam. all you need to do is buy a 5'6 zweihänder and swing it around your home now and then to feel better. been doing it for years and im the very picture of good mental health

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

perhaps find a place outside to swing it around now and then. One's yard, perhaps. Or a friend's yard.

Helps prevent damage to self and property.

But otherwise I 100% agree. Archery is also wonderful therapy for mind and body too.

“My berries cluster black and thick

For rich and poor alike to pick.

I’ll tear your dress, and cling, and tease

And scratch your hands and arms and knees.

I’ll stain your fingers and your face,

And then I’ll laugh at your disgrace.

But when the bramble-jelly’s made,

You’ll find your trouble well repaid.”

~The Blackberry Fairy, Cicely Mary Barker

Thought I’d posted the finished one, but apparently not.

This drawing (Legolas and Gimli Depart by Turner Mohan) made me cry the first time I saw it. Gimli looks so old and so frail, Legolas is having to hold his hand to get him on the ship to Valinor. Legolas is looking much older and much wiser, too.

But the thought of Gimli and Legolas' platonic love being so great that it would lead to the ONLY dwarf ever arriving to Valinor, that's so moving to me. It's a testament to male friendship that you really don't see often in life. Look at how gently Legolas appears to be in guiding Gimli onto the boat. He's letting Gimli hold onto him as necessary; he's there if Gimli needs him. They'd been best friends for centuries but he knows that even in a situation like this, Gimli wouldn't want to have to rely on him ALL the time.

I dunno. The drawing really does a great job of how it's such a moving testament to their friendship. Romance is wonderful and beautiful and all, but the beauty of platonic love needs more appreciation and celebration.

It’s a privilege to study, many women around the world are barred from this human right: to read, write and learn. Be grateful anytime your pen touches paper, or you are learning theorems developed by intelligent, hardworking men and women from ages ago.

It’s a pleasure and a privilege to learn. Not only is it a privilege to study, but you should be aiming and striving to take science, medicine, law, philosophy, art further than the marker we have reached. It’s a comforting thought to think, from your work generations of humanity down the line will benefit.

How many brilliant women were in the shadows of amazing feats of science and technology and life changing patents? Contribute while you can. If you pour into knowledge - it will pour back into you.
