My litte brother's reaction to Nimona has restored my faith in humanity
He said "why is killing monsters a good thing? Being a monster doesn't make you bad, if I had 12 arms I wouldn't be a bad person, I would just have 12 arms"
And like he's 9 and he doesn't get the trans/queer metaphor but the fact that he saw that, that he saw that the 'monster' wasn't the bad guy (he also said "Everyone hates her, that's sad", and "Really they had to take his arm, his god dang arm?", and "Do you think he wanted to kill the queen?", and "Aww I think they're dating"(Ballister and Ambrosius) "Awww"(after I told they are), and "are they married now?"(Ballister and Ambrosius)[he thinks they are])
So even if all of the previous generations have gone and fucked everything up, I know the next one is not gonna and even if they do, I know at least one person will be trying to stop them from fucking it up too bad

To any transgender person that is worried for their life, there is hope!
These are pictures from a Trans Rights rally at Purdue University at Lafayette today. HUNDREDS of students showed up and people not even going to Purdue showed up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Citizens from Lafayette and beyond, students from all parts of the world, and even PASTORS from local churches came out to show their support for trans people and the LGBT+ community as a whole
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If people are willing to come out and support trans people they don’t even know, image what they would do for people they DO know. You matter, you specifically, you are loved, and don’t you dare forget it, because you are worth it, these people all care about you enough to fight for you.
Like and reblog and do whatever else the algorithm needs you to do because we need to give as many trans teens hope as possible. the current wave of legislation is so depressing, I can only hope that I reach at least one person. If you want to message me, I am open talk at any time. I already know I would love to meet you! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

"Nobody is going to save you, nobody is gonna help you, nobody is going to care that you're still stuck in the past" But it should happen! Have you considered that maybe all of these things should happen?? Why are you rubbing in my face that we live in a world where people will abuse you and nobody will help you or even care about you afterwards? What's there to be smug about?
Being hopeful that help exists and that some people will care about our pain is what we hold onto, to survive this! It's normal, human, natural and it shows some faith in humanity! What is fun about telling us there's no humanity on this world and to stop hoping anyone decent exists? We're already scared of that!
Yes people will care and yes someone will want to help really badly. Some people do take issue with abuse existing in this world and are working to make it better. Since you're not one of them, go enjoy your heartless world.

End the Occupation--Speak up!
Yemen is the only place giving aid to Palestine, and now they are losing aid for themselves as a poor country.
Congo is bleeding, children are enslaved to mine the materials that go into our phones.
Even if there is a ceasefire, the people of Gaza will have no place to return to, and the occupation will not end with a ceasefire. But we cannot lose hope, and we certainly can not forget.
I want you to imagine. What are you doing today? How much are you vocalizing what is happening in the world? Whatever you are doing is what you would have done during every other major historical event where today we go "how could people have let that happen?" Are you letting it happen today? Speak up--post anything, share it within your community.
So many are dying. People are starting to look away, but we can't let that happen. Continue to boycott, as the boycotts are working. They are putting censors on video's on Palestine on Instagram, shutting down creators on TikTok, and the Isreali propaganda is only getting worse.
We have to stay strong for the people of Palestine.
(Adding tags for my community-writing and whump communities, speak up! If you can stomach writing and reading whump you can stomach this.)

a reminder that insignificance is beautiful. yes, we could be the only living things in the universe - yes, we are tiny and small when its the be-all and end-all. but think about what it took to get to where we are; thirteen billion years of cosmic evolution and growth that the human mind cant even comprehend, and here we are, in the middle of it all.
we're here, surely that makes us something.

Sometimes I’m like “Wow, people are awful” but today on my flight there was a baby crying and the parents were getting a bit anxious themselves not wanting to make the rest of the passengers uncomfortable with a screaming baby. But random people, clearly parents and grandparents themselves, came up to the couple and took turns entertaining the baby and walking up and down the aisle to distract the baby. And. Anyway. Shit like this fills my heart ❤️

I’m scared, and I’m sad. I look at positive news every day, but sometimes things happen that make me derail. What can I do?
It's natural to be scared and sad about this stuff. We live in a world that gives us more information about more people than we were ever designed to handle. And a lot of that information is about really upsetting, tragic, or horrific things.
What I try to do whenever I start to feel like I'm falling into despair, I try to remember to take a long view of history.
Change isn't often visible in the short term because change is so chaotic. But in physics - and I would argue therefore for organisms and humanity as well - chaos at the micro level creates stability at the macro level.
The fact is, statistically, this IS the best time to be alive. It really doesn't feel like it a lot of the time, but it is.
But a lot of things still suck, and sometimes it feels like all the reasons in the world are slipping through your fingers. It can be very easy, sometimes, to give into the despair in the face of all the things humanity has done, to ourselves and to each other.
Here's the one fact I hold on to with all my strength, when all else fails. The one thing that is too powerful to slip through my fingers:
For almost all of human history, until the past roughly 200 years, the child mortality rate was about 50%.
Sure, it varied based on location and century and the hygiene practices of the dominant culture. But overall, it was about 50%, with child morality defined as any infant or child who dies before their 15th birthday.
That means that half of all people born died before their 15th birthday.
Most of human history, as famous journalist and nonfiction author Bill Bryson puts it, was "overwhelmingly a place of tiny coffins."
Imagine how fucking awful that would be to live with. Imagine all the extra grief and pain and suffering flooding the world.
That fact alone basically guarantees that ever single person who ever lived, until very, very recently, was traumatized, or died before they could be. And that's leaving out the rampant trauma of famine, nonfatal disease, exposure, violence, and everything else that can come from a lack of resources or just the brutal vagaries of nature.
But we don't live in that world anymore. We live in a world where we have reduced child mortality from 40% to 3.7% in just two hundred years.
And those rates are going to keep falling as developing nations with higher child mortality rates get access to better infrastructure, medical care, and resource distribution.
So this is what I cling to, when I can cling to nothing else: no matter how bad things are, no matter how much technology fucks things up, technology and progress have freed us from the hell of half of all our children dying.
We have already done so, so much to free ourselves from one of - if not the - absolute worst curses of human existence
The world has improved so, so much more that most people can even imagine - more than our ancestors could have ever expected - just from that one fact. In just a couple of centuries.
What isn't that worth? Very, very, very little, I'd argue.
The challenges we're facing are formidable. Just a few years ago, they looked insurmountable. From child mortality to climate change, we still have so much more to do.
But if we can save ourselves and our children from a mortality rate that was, for almost all of human history, an inevitable part of the human condition...
Then what can't we do? What won't we be able to achieve, in the end?
Again, I'd argue: very, very, very little.

Messing About
In the book Good Omens, Adam gets a lot more dialogue than in the show, and it's quite a bit more authoritative. One part that is of interest to me is when he scolds Aziraphale and Crowley for "messing about" with humanity. It's not okay to fuck with people's free will even when you think it's for their own good, is his entire point.
It's interesting bc that part isn't in the show, but it gets reiterated by Nina and Maggie in the episode six scene where they're scolding Crowley for interfering with them. Which tells me that it's an important thematic point in season three. The whole concept of free will is a recurring theme in the story, but there must be a reason why it needs to be spoken explicitly.
Aziraphale is going back to heaven, a place well known for interfering with people "for their own good." He wasn't there for the lecture, but I have a feeling he'll figure it out anyway.
