Am I taking these pictures right?

I don’t know but I’m enjoying this book.

[stranded-in-wonderland-world]

I started reading Jane Eyre. I haven’t been able to finish it because of school and work. I’m enjoying it tho! I wanted to read more classics because I started my MA in literature and feel like I haven’t read enough. As compared to my classmates I feel stupid.

“why does it have to be at my expense?”

[stranded-in-wonderland-world]

books I read in 2021: The Bridge Kingdom, Danielle L. Jensen

“Fear and bravery are often one and the same. It either makes you a warrior or a coward. The only difference is the person it resides inside.”  

add me on goodreads

Just to share a positive LGBTQ message from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Tom Daley an openly lgbtq UK diver with a husband and a kiddo finally won his gold medal after competing in 4 Olympic games for 13 years, and he said this in an interview afterwards:

"I feel incredibly proud to say that I am a gay man and also an Olympic champion."

“When I was younger I didn’t think I’d ever achieve anything because of who I was. To be an Olympic champion now just shows that you can achieve anything.”

“I hope that any young LGBT person out there can see that no matter how alone you feel right now, you are not alone. You can achieve anything.” 🌈🌈 (x)

My weekend is gone, dedicated to satiating this question. But I feel no regrets other than any unwanted emotions this piece gives to you. I am so sorry. ❤️😖 Animation references: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNNAxCuaYoc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni_mS4cKPXY …and a bunch of Michael Phelps videos

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

I was so emotionally invested when Aeilin was in that coffin. It broke meeeeee.

Friendly Reminder

Remember when Rowan counted all those days, years and centuries since Lyria died?

And that at the end of EoS, when he finally knew who his real mate was — locked in an iron coffin while bloodied and whipped, and at the hands of a Valg queen — remember when he counted all those days they were apart?

r e m e m b e r ?

because i fucking did and i'm bringing y'all along with me.
