now seems like a good time to remind my fellow alt kids out there that you do NOT wear your political patches on your back.

wear them on the front. that way if someone disagrees and decides to get violent about it, they’re less likely to sneak up on you and catch you off-guard. stay safe.

“Bien, pero es que claro está yo —dijo Aristipo— no me apunto tampoco para la esclavitud, sino que me parece que hay entre ésos como un camino medio, que es por el que intento yo guiar mis pasos, sin pasar ni por el mando ni por la servidumbre, sino por la libertad, que es la que más a la felicidad derecha lleva.” “¡Ah, ya! —dijo Sócrates—: si, lo mismo que el camino ese no pasa ni por el mando ni por la servidumbre, así tampoco pasa por entre los hombres, puede que tengas razón en eso; pero si es que, estando entre los hombres, no tienes a bien mandar ni ser mandado ni tampoco rendir a los que mandan pleitesía, bien sé que habrás de ver cómo los fuertes saben medios para, haciéndoles a los débiles mascar su pena, así en las relaciones entre pueblos como entre personas, servirse de ellos como esclavos. ¿O es que no tienes tú noticia de aquellos que, cuando otros han sembrado y han plantado, se dedican a arrasar los trigos y a talarles los planteles y a asediar por todas las maneras a los débiles que se negaban a servirles, hasta el punto de que los persuaden de querer mejor hacerse esclavos que tener guerra con los poderosos? Y asimismo entre personas, los valientes y poderosos, ¿no sabes cómo someten a servidumbre a los cobardes y desvalidos y se aprovechan de ellos?” “Bien, pues es precisamente —contestó él—, para no pasar por eso, que tampoco me encierro en comunidad alguna, sino que soy en todas partes forastero”.

i've been waiting for gravity falls to become relevant again so i could share one of my favorite underrated bits from the entire show. like it's only episode 2 but this whole segment just makes me lose my shit. i think jason ritter's exasperated line delivery is what makes it

sometimes all you need is one passionate person who goes berserk for your work to keep you creating

In Kalim’s defence half the school is gnc and/or alt. Jamil’s new gyaru friend could’ve been anyone.

star wars fans are so funny bc like you can mention a background clone character who shows up in like, two episodes at most, and there will be some fangirl who's memorized his wiki page, has a pinterest fan page dedicated to him, and ships him with riyo chuchi

— “¿Conoces, Hipias”, —replicó Sócrates—, “ leyes que no estén escritas? "

— “ Sí, todas aquellas que son uniformemente observadas en todos los países ".

— "Y ¿podrías decirme si son los hombres quienes las establecieron?"

— " Y ¿cómo pudiera ser así, si jamás han podido reunirse todos, aparte de que no todos hablan la misma lengua?"

— “¿Quién, pues, según tu opinión, las ha establecido?"

—“ Yo creo que son los dioses quienes las inspiraron a los hombres, porque entre todos los hombres la primera ley es la de respetar a los dioses".

— “¿Mas el respeto a los padres no es igualmente ley universal?”

—" Sin duda".

I must say, as a non-american (who even LIVED in the US for several years), all these state polls really look to me like:

[nmakii]

“what’s this?” sae drops his training bag on the table, observing the… many, many books and papers scattered across. “studying…” you hum, religiously writing notes on your ipad.

at random, sae picks up a stray paper, trying to see your material. maybe if he understood it, he could help.

…then again, he didn’t really do so well at school.

“…i don’t get your lesson.” he pouts. you look up from your ipad, seeing that he was reading your worksheet from a week ago. you snicker to yourself. it was endearing seeing him pout�� it wasn’t everyday that sae itoshi didn’t understand something.

“…well, i guess it’s pretty simple. it’s just that there’s a ton of material to get through…” you sigh. sae hums, hearing that it’s easy to understand. “easy? this?” he quirks an eyebrow.

“yeah.” you nod.

“they say teaching is the best way to learn material. mind teaching me?” he pulls up a chair beside you, and sits down. “…i dunno, sae. aren’t you tired?” you shrug.

sae scoffs to himself, and shakes his head. “i’m alright, i guess. my arms are a bit sore, but i’ll survive. plus, this’ll get you to go to sleep faster tonight.” he hums, slightly contracting the muscles of his forearms under the the sleeve of his team jacket.

“ah.. sure then.” you look through your notes, finding a place to start. he rests his chin in the palm of his hand as he patiently waits for you to start.

you thought this was easy? you must be pretty smart.

his eyes wander down to the scattered papers, formulas and notes all over— just looking at them made his head hurt.

he sighs, shaking out the ache from his over-stimulated brain, and looks back to you. “where should we start, teacher?”

save me from chinese oh @itoshiluvbot i hehe’d and haha’d
