Was Ruvina even a goddess of Sorrow before her sibling died??

[lassieposting]

Yes, I am an ardent hater of today's "if you feel powerless, don't forget that you can donate :))) even though you can barely feed yourself :)))" culture, where the average person has no power or agency to fight for what they believe in beyond stumping up cash.

Yes, I am going to remind y'all anyway that the American Civil Liberties Union is there to fight for your rights and they could use your support if you have any to spare. If you subscribe to their newsletter they send you regular updates on what they're doing to fight Drumpf and his force of fascist fuckwits.

*SLAMS YOU AGAINST MOULDY CELLAR WALL* LISTEN AND HEAR ME WELL NOW, GOT IT?? IM NOT FUCKING AROUND.

PRINT OUT YOUR DIGITAL ART. PRESERVE IT. DO NOT WAIT.

What would be left of you if your computer bursts into flames? Hmm? All those years of honing your craft? Who would know of it? Your tablet could die tomorrow, fall victim to the plague, THEN what? There'd be no trace of you. Your art account with years of accumulated passion? Gone with the flick of a server switch. Do not trust the cloud it is ephemeral in the eyes of time.

Place your trust in papers gentle hands and it will sing of you even after you have gone quiet.

Print your art.

*walls you in*

etoiles telling tubbo "gg" when there's still so much time to server close, when there's still so much time to turn things around and tubbo is there desperately trying to save them all and etoiles tells him good game, when the game wasn't even a competition, when the whole team went down and they weren't even there to resist it, when the fight wasn't even over quite yet and even still etoiles was resigned to it or maybe he knew even then where the winds were blowing and he accepted the end of this battle his team couldn't even fight. when tubbo is there begging to help him and etoiles tells him good game.

i do not like poetry, but i am rolling do not go gentle into that good night around in my mind right now

[trailandkale]

we gotta fight against the despair

[softgothbabe]

Do not go gentle into that good night

Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Keep going

Love, the world

[former-leftist-jew]

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[kaurwreck]

I won't promise it'll be okay, regardless of what happens over the next few days, but I can promise the outcome is navigable.

[beauregardlionett]

one rant. i'm allowing myself one rant and then i'm not complaining again because it gets me no where. people in my class - people my age who i have been in the same room with almost everyday for three years as i complete this degree - voted for trump. it infuriates me. it scares me. i'm not safe in my classrooms, on my campus, on the streets, no where. it sickens me. someone who i have considered a friend since our first semester posted on her instagram story today "elections will come and go. don't let politics ruin your relationships. one of the truest signs of maturity is the ability to disagree with someone while still remaining respectful." in most other situations i would agree, but in this context that is some fascist horseshit.

if you voted for trump, or if you refused to vote because you "hated both options", i don't like you. i don't respect you and you are the problem. i have no more sympathy, empathy, or mercy for you. you are not my friend, and i don't want you around me. we could have reasoned with harris. we cannot reason with trump. he has admitted to sexual harassment, he openly does not care about people who are different from him, and he is a convicted felon. and he is in charge of this dumpster fire country yet again.

so i will maturely tell you to respect this boundary and fuck off. do not speak to me because you clearly do not respect me if you support trump. i hope karma finds you and gives you the exact amount of grief you deserve.

and to everyone who is like me, who did not want this, who is terrified - do not give up, do not leave this world. hold my hand, and i'll see you on the other side.

that is all.

Every single night I ask myself, “do I want to go gentle into that good night, or do I want to rage & rage against the dying of the light?” and the answer to that question determines whether or not I take melatonin.

Six Seven Eight Sentence Sunday

Jamie has too many words he wants to say to Roy running through his head, mixing through each other like players on a pitch. He can’t keep track of the ball, of the words he wants to say, he can’t make them lineup, they all jumble together fighting for dominance.

I’m sorry.

It’s all my fault.

Don’t hate me.

Please forgive me.

I’m sorry.

Too many words that can never be enough.

[natethehydra]

Very, very understandable reaction to finding out your loved one is kidnapped.

Best way to describe my reaction to such a thing should it happen? Well…. There’s a reason why this phrase exists;

“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”
