23 hours out of 24 I am anti-feudalism and anti-monarchy. That 1 hour is dedicated to smooth brained hype of the northern army going hard as fuck for Ned and his daughters

1 hour only. After that I go back to being a socialist with media literacy

Yeah! Teamwork!

oh one of the saddest sentences I said and might haunt me forever was simply this

It's time to retire that dream.

How do you feel about people leaving comments/tags on your blog posts?

On my more personal posts it varies. Usually I try to make those unable to be reblogged but sometimes I forget. I can’t control people though so I’m never really too upset about it. I put it online anyway

On AMM posts or my art I LOVE them!! Obviously I don’t respond to every one but I do see them and love seeing how people react or what they have to say!

do you guys know that moment where you're reading a book and you're just lost in it but then you finish it so you have to put it down, and then you see the real world and it's so loud and you just wish you could go back

or is it just me

Help stellar firma is taking over my brain

[battlemaiden13]

Sorry I gotta rant for a second.

I just finished reading a book and I hated it. The only reason I finished it was because someone close to me recommended it otherwise I would have put it down well before the halfway point.

It's so badly written and not at all what it's advertised as but the thing that is annoying me the most is all the good reviews I'm seeing on it?? Like I don't understand why there's so many good reviews when they can't even explain why they like it? And I'm all for people liking what they like but even if this book was advised as just a cute romance the characters are all so flat and it's so cringy and I don't get it and no one can explain why they like it but everyone who doesn't can clearly list exactly what it is they hate about it.

The neural connections within the brain give rise to the feeling of self, which we experience as consciousness. Humanity is not merely a "lump of meat" but rather possesses a self that feels, suffers, and finds joy. A central question is why humans suffer. In modern society, suffering has become a prominent issue. Suffering seems to be an inherent part of survival, as it prompts us to think, to act, and to strive for relief. Although unpleasant, it appears to serve a purpose.

A person can indeed "die of a broken heart," a notion that now seems more than just myth or folklore. The body and mind are interconnected, meaning that mental struggles can manifest physically, and physical problems can impact the mind. To achieve internal balance, one must seek tranquility in both body and mind, a harmony that often feels elusive.

Ultimately, humans are composed of a physical body, with the brain—a complex organ formed over millions of years of evolution—generating the feeling of self. The brain, akin to a supercomputer, holds mysteries we are still uncovering.

To alleviate suffering and find solutions to our problems, I recommend writing down your thoughts, examining them critically, and working towards rational solutions. Thoughts arise because we have brains.

I've Raised my Hands against the Evil Spirits

Maria Nephele: I've raised my hands directly against the black mountains and the evil spirits of this world. I've asked love 'why' and rolled her on the floor. Wars occurred and recurred, and not even a rag was left to hide deep within our things and forget it. Who listens? Who ever listened? Judges, priests, gendarmes, which is your country? [ . . . ] Antiphonist: I've raised my hand directly against the unexorcised evil spirits of the world, and from the sickly place I returned to the sun and the light self-exiled! Maria Nephele: And from the many tempests I returned among the people self-exiled!

from Maria Nephele, Odysseus Elytis (A. Anagnostopoulos transl. 1981)
