"The prospect of freedom?" he said.

"Exactly," said Lord Vetinari. "There is always a choice."

"You mean...I could choose certain death?"

"A choice, nevertheless," said Vetinari.

You must remember that most people don't like to hear when bad things happen. They can tolerate only a little here and there . . . If there are too many bad things, they plug their ears and vilify the victim. But a hundred very bad things happened to me. Am I supposed to be quiet? Bear my pain like a good girl? Or shall I be very bad and take it on the world? Either way I won't be loved.

Lisa Taddeo, from Animal

there was no one left to carry he xuan’s body home. he was alone when he died. he had lost everyone and everything that mattered to him. he should’ve been a scholar, a husband, a loving son, a god, but it all got taken from him in the blink of an eye because he was unfortunate enough to be born with the name he was, at the time he was. he was alone, and it would stay that way.

I know a lot of you buy from my shop so I'm making the announcement here. I did do it on my shop as well, but here it goes.

Effective today, I need to raise my prices on some of my items. This is due to the rising cost of the materials I use. Prices will NOT be changed retroactively. So if a hat is currently listed in my shop at $30, it will stay at that price.

How it will look:

- Adult mittens will be going from $20 to $30

- Adult hats without decorative tags will be going from $30 to $35

- Adult hats with decorative tags will be going from $35 to $40

- Everything else will be staying the same for now

It really fucking sucks to make this decision, but prices on the yarn I use are going up. There is the option to use cheaper materials, but using cheaper wool would mean additional work for me to make it feel nice and I would lose the uniqueness of the hand dyed yarns.

To give context, a few yarns that I use all the time had some massive jumps in price. Malabrigio Rios went from $15.50 to $17 a hank, Encore went from $6 to $8, Brava Worsted went from $4 to $5.50, and even Red Heart Super Saver is going up in price.

I want to stress that this was not a decision I made lightly, nor do I even want to make. But I'm getting boned on material costs and I have to adjust. I'm so so so so sorry.

What’s wrong with being 30?

Just the age where teenagers basically see you as 60+ and older people see you as a teenager🤺 Can’t win when 30🤷🏻‍♀️

How do you handle a work situation where you are confused about what to do? Do you:

A - Ask every stupid question to clarify and understand the problem, triggering the annoyance of your boss and colleagues, and causing them to think you are an idiot and/or disrespectful by "challenging authority". Oh, and they still may not answer your questions directly, so good luck!

OR do you:

B - Keep quiet and do what you believe to be the most "logical" solution, with the limited and often vague information you have gotten. Which will almost always incur the Great Irritance of your managers, who will blame you entirely for "Doing It Wrong".

Ahhh man I have to get up early tomorrow but I just realized episode 10 was released. So I should watch it immediately to avoid spoilers.

But after I watch it I probably won't be able to sleep haha...

[aesthetically0b5essed]

when i have nothing i get depressed but it's a dull constant ache that makes me tired. when i have something to lose i get anxiety and that's not a dull ache. it's an air raid siren next to my head and i can't sleep.

Hamas has done a disservice to the Palestinian people, even the last sympathy for the fate of the Palestinian is now extinguished. Every people has a right to a living space, but fanaticism and terrorism always lead to ruin. IS has shown that pressure leads to more pressure and even destruction. There is a reason of state which, no matter who challenges it, ultimately falls victim to it.

No matter how many poor and innocent civilians the terrorists of Hamas have brought into their power, it will be of no use to them.

reason of state

The principle of reason of state (the term comes from Latin: "ratio status" means "reason of state") had great significance in earlier centuries, when kings and princes ruled over states. It meant that the interests of the state were placed above all other interests.

The reality will be that the Israeli state will become even more defensive and no matter where you are and what you do one day it will hunt you down without mercy. You have publicly chosen to go from being hunters of people to being hunted. Your faces have now become part of a despicable crime and do not stand for freedom fighters as you assume but for war crimes.

The State of Israel will not tolerate this humiliation.

All those living in Gaza should be fully aware that no matter what happens now, they will no longer be shown any compassion. You are now living in a different world, thank those who have spoken for you in the name of violence.

mod

In my eyes, any human being who attacks defenceless civilians, no matter how shitty the ideological cause, is a criminal.

Whoever uses you will not pay in the end, it will be you and the Palestinian people. Well, and everyone will be watching, as in the hunt for Ben Laden.

I deeply regret that so many weak men have chosen this path of violence, but please do not expect understanding or compassion at the end, because you had none.

How stupid can one be to represent one's goals with violence? You have my personal contempt for sure whoever commits an offence against innocent civilians belongs before a war crimes tribunal. Welcome to the prosecution bench.

No matter what happens now, the Palestinian people's cause is buried in dust and will not be heeded for some time now.
