We all come from women, no matter our race, color, or religion. To disrespect them is to disrespect yourself. I will teach my daughter what my mother has taught me- be strong, be proud, don’t back down in the face of adversity, speak up (even if your voice shakes), learn, don’t let ANYONE treat you like shit no matter who they are, ask questions, be independent, make your own money, work, laugh, laugh a lot, and when that lightbulb is burned out, don’t wait on a man to change, change it yourself!! 💪🏼💡

I’m putting posts in the queue of my new blog, one post every day. At first only posts from this blog, which I’ll copy and paste.

Alright, I have sent everyone of you ordinary people who follow me a message (if I accidentally left one of you out, I’m glad to send you one if you want to!). I’m still about to transfer my own content but it has been stagnating because of some responsibilities, but I’m working on it.

[root--is--alive]

Alright, I’m hitting all of you up about me moving accounts right now, and I’ve already hit the conversation limit, too... Anyway, I’m still building up root---is---alive very slowly, but I hope I’ll be ready in time for #ShootWeek.

new blog

I created a new Person of Interest blog: link to my blog. 

I’ll build up content slowly and transfer the content from this blog here onto there. Before I’ll delete this blog I inform everyone who follows me personally, and make a post about it here.

Alright, I know Person of Interest has got subtitles for hearing impaired people, but does anyone know if it has got audio description or is available as transcription?

[root--is--alive]

If I'm making this blog into a new one, I want to make it accessible for visually impaired people; mainly referring to pictures and gif sets. Another question came to my mind: does the show have an audio description?

To quote Harold “So now I have to decide (... .) I'm trying to decide (... .) But I need to decide how far I'm willing to go...”.

Don’t worry, I’m not deciding about whether I should change my view regarding my morals, to take down an ASI which has got no concept of morality and could create total chaos and extinguish species; while taking it down would destroy my life’s work which happens to be an ASI that has done quite a few good things after I crippled it so it wouldn’t be hostile and which I ensured to not be abused, and denied myself access to it as well; and about which I’m always uncertain whether it was the right thing to create and if I’m comfortable with it continueing what it does because I have to carry all the responsibility because I created it so everything it does is techically my fault. 

It’s just about my blog. This blog — which is a sideblog, and I’m not active on my mainblog anymore, but I can’t delete my mainblog without deleting my sideblogs. So I’m thinking about creating a new account and transfer the content of this blog onto the new one. 

I haven’t decided yet; and if I decide for it, I’ll inform all my followers personally; but it will probably take some time.

POI motivated me to study today; and I may or may not have created something for #ShootWeek. Yesterday I finished watching season 5 for the third time. I'd love love love to write about it, and turn my memos about season 3 and 4 into text, but I haven't got enough time.

For the ask meme: 1-John, 2-Harold, 19-Lionel, 31-Root, 35-Joss, 39-Shaw. Have a nice day ~

Hello!

John - What does their bedroom look like?

Harold - Do they have any daily rituals?

Lionel - What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

Root - Most prized possession?

Joss - What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?

Sameen - What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?

You have a nice day too, you lovely person!
