my favorite thing about sam seaborn is that everything he does, he does it with a truckload of emotion. he’s just so damn passionate about everything he does and 90% of the time he talks he sounds like he’s about to cry. i want to give him a hug and tell him he’s doing great

As a librarian, this issue is frustrating too. Because the recognition of grandparents who won't do the work rather than just reading the freely accessible is important. Lots of people have NO idea that libraries can help with the fight to access NYT and WaPo. Many both public and academic libraries have subscriptions to this type of publication but people just have no idea that they can use their library that way. And that is part of the fight for information literacy that we go through.

It’s been said before, but I am all for the idea that, to Snow, Katniss Everdeen was Lucy Gray Baird rising up from the dead to haunt him.

This small, dark-haired Seam girl, making a scene at the reaping. Drawing the Capitol’s attention in the parade, and in the interviews, and with her training score. Haunted by tragic love as she enters the arena. Singing to Rue as she dies, and adorning her body with a rainbow of flowers. Cheating the Games to bring her and Peeta out alive.

And then - unwillingly - figureheading a revolution. Being hailed the mockingjay - the very thing that Snow so hated, that he so passionately wanted destroyed. Refusing to relinquish her own agency, refusing to play the Capitol’s game by its rules. Singing The Hanging Tree, by the lake. Dancing with Prim at Finnick and Annie’s wedding, spinning around the room to folk music.

It must have felt, to Snow, like Lucy Gray (and a little of Sejanus) reincarnated - Lucy Gray, coming to haunt him. Coming to destroy his empire from beyond the grave. Taking her revenge, after all those years.

They said....

That She came from the seam. 

That she had olive skin and black hair. 

 That she takes care of her sister. 

That her father is no more. 

That she made a scene at her reaping. 

That she teamed up with her district partner. 

That she sung in the arena.

 That she won by cheating. 

That she hated the Capitol 

That she knew the lake. 

That Mockingjays stopped to listen when she sung. 

That she talked of running away. 

That she was a rebel. 

 That she had come back from the dead to haunt him.

Renegades Mini-Meme : 5 Heroes

“I’m Adrian,” he said, holding out a hand. A Renegade. Holding out a hand—to her. “Welcome to the Renegades.”

academic networking, or as I like to think of it, hanging around people long enough that they add you to their dropbox of illicit and highly topic-specific pdfs

Joe continues to be a teacher and inspire kids and he plays with the jazz band every weekend and he’s happy, but he can’t help but occasionally wonder how 22 is doing and where she ended up. 

And then one day, a few years later, there’s a new kid in his class. She’s snarky and sarcastic but is so full of life and she comes to class finishing a slice of pizza and when she takes things out of her backpack a bunch of helicopter leaves fall out, and Joe just lights up because he knows.

It’s her.

I think I forgot to add this when I had that ask about West Wing headcanons but Josh 100% does Big Block of Cheese Day in the Santos White House. He gives Leo’s speech verbatim (Sam asks if it’s written down somewhere but he refuses to answer) and yells at anyone who doesn’t take it seriously. Sam gets way with making jokes but he knows better than to call Josh out on his own history of mocking Big Block of Cheese Day in front of the staff. The first time he does it he texts Donna who runs over from the East Wing to watch (he also asks Donna if Josh has Leo’s speech written down somewhere and she also refuses to answer).

Sometimes I think about those high res Jupiter pics and then think about Van Gogh and get emotional because it’s like this one, lonely man that didn’t experience an ounce of fame or recognition in his life time had the image of the universe in his head and he didn’t know it.
