A little subplot from this week’s episode that I thought was really well done and subtle was the dude who quit the baseball team and then chiyo(?) not going to school once she found out the university was shaving points off female applicants exams just for them being, women?? The dude quit the baseball team despite being a star player because he refused to conform to the normalcy of the bullying he was enduring. Ties back into Asa learning to do what she wants to do without worrying about approval from anyone else.

“There isn't a single thing in this world that's completely irrelevant to you. At the very least, you could take comfort in the fact that you're not alone, right?”

Ikoku Nikki, episode 11 "Set Free".

“It’s a wonder I’m even alive. Sometimes I think that. I think that I can’t believe I haven’t killed myself. But there’s something in me that just keeps going on. I think it has something to do with tomorrow, that there is always one, and that everything can change when it comes.”

— Augusten Burroughs, Running With Scissors

About the dark matter holding together the universe, poet and astrophysicist Rebecca Elson writes, “It’s as if all there were, were fireflies / and from them you could infer the meadow.” I saw so many fireflies today; I marched and chanted and wept with 150,000 of them. In my head: At least we are many, at least we are many, at least we are many. We are making a light that proves the existence of a meadow you can’t yet see. It’s a green bright place where children everywhere are allowed to grow old. You can join us there if you like.

“no man can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true”

[arcanumnyx]

getting older is all about getting weirder and sexier and more perverted and gluttonous and intelligent and blunt and eloquent and spontaneous and skilled. i love that for us.
