“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” - Gandalf the Gray

Please continue to be kind to yourself and to others. Love is the strongest weapon we have when facing despair

i was late for vespers only because a holy and divine mission had been laid upon me

this defenceless Snayle had interposed itself on the path and i had to observe it and guard it until it had safely crossed

OK so I was reading up on cloning in Star Wars and found out that:

the idea of "Palpatine's clone-based gambit for immortality" has been around LOOONG before the shit writing of the new trilogy, it's just that it was in the noncanon Legends continuity.

his clone vessels suck shit and age super fast and he can't make them stop aging super fast. This is because cloning "breaks the natural chain of life" or some shit, so his vessels have zero defense against the ravages of the dark side.

But like, what is the functional difference between birth from an artificial womb and birth from an organic one?

Well. The microbiome doesn't get established quick enough.

It's possible that the millions of living microscopic organs in everyone's bodies may play some part in shielding the body from the adverse health effects of the dark side. This is a shield that newborn clones would lack, since they couldn't inherit the microbiome their parent passed down to them.

But noooo, ol' Palpatine just HAS to throw force lightning around or psychically manipulate his underlings or something 0.1 seconds after he's decanted, thereby busting his telomeres clean off his chromosomes! Noooo, he CAN'T cannonball into a vat of probiotic yogurt first!

Update on watching thw LotR movies for the first time! Just finished the Two Towers and omg????? Very good movie. I know I'm 20 years late to the party but oh my what a party it is! Sat the last hour with a hand clutched over my chest and only recognized it towards the end. Had the Song Rohirim by Feuerschwanz blaring in my head from the moment Eomer met Aragon and company and ahhhhhh when he and the riders appear at the battle of Helmdeep and charge down that mountainside! Led by Gandalf and his white horse friend!!!! I am so giddy oh my god. And the Ents wrecking Isenguard!!!!!!!!! My heart felt so much lighter!!! Am I mistaking or was there an Ent song that wasnt in the movie? Maybe I'm misremembering a post I saw years ago hmm....

But !!!!!! So excited to watch the next movie tomorrow!

oh man i know the archival instincts are in me because there's nothing better than writing in my journal, outlining my essays in my journal, and sending letters to my friends in the mail
