Fellow/Fellowhood/Fellowship (secular)

A Capybaran term that means: To be against the spread of misinformation but wanting to remain civil about it, to be against the harm to either side of discourse of any degree and to desire for common ground. Their focus is to make sure no one is harmed or dying first before discussing consequences and political change and often will ultimately argue for abolitionism, healing and unity for everyone.

A fellow may “consort with the enemy” if they see the individual has been harmed and needs support and assistance and they may “betray allies” if they notice that the allies are the ones who in this instance and context are the ones causing serious harm.

To a fellow if you are a person violating human rights then they often will critique you and if your human rights are being violated then they will defend you in that instance and will not differentiate if that person is the same person in different contexts. The harm that is being caused is often what a fellow will prioritise before the harm that could be caused.

it took all of my strength to not respond with the most volatile thing i could think of <3

I love that so much, it is what I'm trying to do! And no, love is not a popular movement. People are very suspiscious of love as a movement. There are some good reasons for that, but not enough to not try anymore. So, let's all try to be a bit kinder, a bit more compassionate. Not only for others, but for ourselves as well, because it feels nicer inside.

Choices

Three years ago, I found Mr. Goodwill standing behind a counter in a gas station. He who wears his heart on his sleeve. Always a pleasant disposition. Often, people with razorblade tongues, pufferfish frames, clunky metal feet charge the skittles fort with their battle cries of I-sipped-the-coffee-and-it’s-too-hot-and-it’s-your-fault waiting for Mr. Goodwill to summon his almighty handy-dandy…

Embracing Simplicity: A Life of Curiosity, Kindness, and Joy Without Hate

Living with Curiosity, Kindness, and Joy: My Simple Yet Meaningful Life Goals In a world where goals are often defined by ambition, success, and material gain, I’ve found that my life goals have become much simpler. At this point in my life, my purpose is rooted in staying curious, maintaining kindness, and embracing every moment of existence. I strive to live in a way that makes room for joy,…

Smile and wave at people who might not wave back and don’t feel afraid or embarrassed when they don’t. Continue being kind even when people aren’t used it to. We especially need to do it because people aren’t use to it.

Yes! The only way to make the world kinder is to be kind yourself. Not everyone will respond, but if even one does, your effort was not in vain. Even if no one does, your effort will still mean something.

Capybaran

Capybaran is a term or group of terms that are not exactly on either side of discourse but not neutral nor impassive and is not without a stance. It is meant to go against the current divisive and absolutist way of thinking that is not condusive to ensuring human rights (as defined by the UN with acknowledgement and grace of the complexity of life) and healing and welfare for every individual that is present currently in discourse. A capybaran is someone who's still somewhat involved with a specific or general opinion if opinionated but can also wish to not to be involved temporarily while having their own ideal/opinion on the matter to themselves for the sake of their own mental health.

The forbidden smooth Machete.

A lot of his head is just fluff, without it he's even more noodly than usual.

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?

Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.

Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.

Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

And then those same people, 15-20 years later, wonder why the kids don’t want to spend tune eyed them.

Going to see children and adolescents dance badly, play ball badly, sing badly, play recorder badly because they are young: YES! YOU ARE LEARNING! INCREDIBLE!

iwtv fandom constantly arguing about who the real bad guy is when shit hits the fan like oh its lestats fault or armands or actually louis is the real villain!! IRRELEVANT. disregard. the reason everything always goes to shit in this show is because unfortunately louis and lestat do match eachothers freak and the resonant harmony of their freakiness sends pure unfiltered wavelengths of suffering to every single characters vampire brainstem and ruins their lives. in this business we call it the invisible chord.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.
