YA books: There are 2 boys, the protagonist girl HAS to date one, but how can she choose? They are so incredibly different in every way!

The boys:

I loved the Artemis Fowl series as a kid, and it's still fun to read as an adult, but if I ever met the protagonist in real life I'd have to put every last modicum of willpower I possess into not punching his lights out on sight

Stop vilifying adults that live with their parents.

We’re still deep in one of the worst economic recessions of modern times. For many of us its not a choice but a requirement in order to survive. For many of us we have disabilities that make finding accommodation that suit our needs a lot harder and a lot more expensive.

Many of us pay into the household. Many of us are trapped in abusive households because we don’t have the means to leave. We aren’t moochers or afraid to leave the nest. The world simply isn’t built to support us anymore.

“survival of the fittest” simply means survival of those most fitted to their environment. it has nothing to do with brute strength

humans have survived so well in so many environment bc of our adaptability. our ability to fit ourselves to our environment is extraordinary, and by far our most valuable survival strategy

our adaptability relies on community. we were able to survive in ways that other species were not–in particular able to survive injury & individual hardship that would be fatal to less social species–through interdependence. 

in humanity’s case, it was never “survival of the strong.” it was “survival of the social, and of the community.” 

when you perpetuate the attitude that only the “strong” survive, you are ignoring a million years of evolutionary history that screams otherwise.

classic vines but they’ve been reshot hollywood style. a man stands over a cliff on a stormy night, his coat billowing in the heavy wind. rain-drenched, hair whipping about his chiseled features, he turns to the camera and–in a voice hoarse with betrayal–gasps: i can’t believe you’ve done this

If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.

Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.

“I know what I want: an ugly, clean woman with large breasts, who tells me: what’s all this about making things up? I won’t have any dramas, come here immediately!—And she gives me a warm bath, dresses me in a white linen nightdress, braids my hair and puts me to bed, very cross, saying: well what do you want? you run wild, eating at odd times, you could get sick, stop making up tragedies, you think you’re such a big deal, drink this mug of hot broth. She lifts my head up with her hand, covers me with a big sheet, brushes a few strands of hair off my forehead, already white and fresh, and tells me before I fall asleep warmly: you’ll see how in no time your face is going to fill out, forget those harebrained ideas and be a good girl. Someone who takes me in like a humble dog, who opens the door for me, brushes me, feeds me, loves me severely like a dog, that’s all I want, like a dog, a child.”
