Knowing that Polish wikipedia is replete with holocaust revisionism (which has partially spread to English wikipedia articles regarding Polish topics) and that similarly alarming things have happened in Croatian wikipedia, I wonder “What sorts of extreme biases are present in English wikipedia?”

I was a shape shifter In a lions fur coat

Was I trying to be brave?

Save the sinner, become the saviour

I was a pawn in a losing game

You’d strike a match

I’d douse the flame

All because I wanted you

to call me by my name

I hid it well for a while

Wore a mask to cover my gloomy disposition

Braved storms that I did not beckon

Lost myself in your ocean

I put you on a pedestal

I became a safe house for your suffering

All you did was waste my salvation

Sacrificed myself for nothing

Played it off like I was living the dream

But inside I was screaming

Wondering if I was losing my mind

Kept myself from leaving

It was all sadistic

I’d twist And turn

At every inch, every curve

Ready to fight back just as dirty

Had this dream I had it all

I was chosen

Yet it wasn’t by you,

it’s what I longed for

Then I woke up screaming

I watched it crash and burn

As the seasons turned

From summer to fall

~About my trauma bond of a relationship, losing my mental health, losing myself

quote from my book

If the moon could talk, wouldn’t she say thank you?

Suns and moons, little children of the universe, now taking their place in the sky.

My son is the star of my eye, shining a path for others to follow, and so following his example, you will be the stars lighting the way for the lost.

Mother and son, hand in hand. It was lovely to be loved.

All must bow to Time, but I must press my face into the dirt and beg.

Hi! A prompt for DADWC: Hawke and crew using the turtle with a candle on its back. Are they doing a robery? A rescue? Infiltrating the Chantry? The Gallows? It's up to you ;) Have fun! <3

Thank you so much for this prompt! I absolutely love the turtle trick :) I hoe you have fun reading this :) For @dadrunkwriting , 451 words

"We can't just let them rot in there." Hawke was set on this. "Sure, but we also can't fight them all off," "And," Varric added pointedly, "you don't wanna get Knight-Captain Cullen Rutherford angry at you." Hawke basically ignored the comment and insisted : "We just have to go there discreetly, and then send them away. No one will ever know." There could have been a little note of despair in there, or maybe it was Hawke trying very hard but Varric couldn't quite be sure which. "How does this work exactly? We just get in, say hi and pray nobody else is in here?" asked Fenris, in a very sarcastic voice. "Definitely not." Anders chimed in. he seemed ready to add something else, but Varric interupted him. "I have an idea."

The air is stiff and warm in the dark rooms of the Gallows. It would be very silent, was it not for the occasional footstep. And also: "Who has the turtle?" "Hawke, I thought you had the turtle." "What do you mean you thought I had the turtle?" "Did you not catch it when it got blown off?" "How could I catch it since it was turned off and I couldn't see anything?" "It was right in front of you, I don't know!" A deep sigh was the only response to Varric's question. He could very well imagine Hawke pinching the bridge of their nose, but he was very much upset. This was one of the times when he would wonder why he's following this imbecile.

There was a slight sound of ruffling fabric, and the tell-tale sound of the flint. Varric turned to see Fenris's grumpy face. He moved forward without a word and barely a sound until he reached Hawke and handed them the candle. "Find the damned turtle."

It was a few more minutes of frustrated silence until Hawke finally whisper-shouted : "I have it" and lighted the candle on the turtle before blowing the one in their hand.

They held the turtle in front of them for light until they reached the rest of the team, which was not so far away, luckily. "Ok, let's go then!"

The candle-attached turtle gently strolled through each room and was luckily each time greeted only by silence, whether the room was lit or not. There was one time, when it was about to go in an inhabited room, but they had heard laughter right before they let the turtle in, so they didn't have to burn their cover.

Anders named the turtle lucky and though it did not lend its back to more of this experiment, it did keep all of them quite lucky on their adventures.

You claim to know your flaws by heart

Claim that you land on

god's own feet to beg for

divine forgiveness

That the priests and believers and the son himself,

call for you in

perfect unison.

Claim that your love isn't

conditional, that it's

open and holy and

unfaltering

But you weave the crown

of thorns

You twist the twine

together while blood

pools at your feet

You place it on the heads of

those you call ungodly

and drip by drip their

wicked, red wine blood

fills your empty cup

This is holy communion,

you say

Devour it

[featherafter]

Love is God

love is a poem misunderstood Its true meaning concealed yet obvious to a mind that can see and read beyond words tucked carefully in metaphors and similes

love is God

"I dreamt a dream within a dream."

"And what did the dream said?"

"It said- 'if you are not ready, don't do it. But if you are, my dear, then jump with both eyes closed. For you will fly without fail.'"

Wow! I wrote this poem almost a decade ago! 🤯 It has been some time since I last shared it publicly so I thought I would bring it back out into the spotlight because I really love the imagery I used throughout it! Let me know what you think! 🥰😄 #rhymes #rhymetime #poetrylover #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #iwrotethis #poetry🥀 #poet #wordsmith #creation #sourceofinspiration #paintingwithwords #imagery https://www.instagram.com/p/CnybsmbOgAk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Banana Skirt

Young with fruitful purpose

Blossoming into words-

“I am Woman”

Grown from the seeds of home

Born fruitfully endowed into trial

With berries of milk

Leaves of pink

Curves of bursting corn

“I, a black Woman”

My skin, a peeling

Covering the buds

Blossoming into overt

Speech against the weeds

Who pretend to be flowers

Occluding to capitalize on Sun

Too young

To understand there is enough

For me, too.

Why I like Totto Land

1. Like Water 7, it’s one of the only places where the story isn’t one of a virtuous leader being usurped by an evil one.

2. It’s a weirdly good analogy for the IRL first world: its inhabitants are exploited, but not as much as the inhabitants of the islands their ruling pirates raid for ingredients. People from all over then move to Totto Land for a little bit of safety from pirates like the ones who rule Totto Land, and then Totto Landers chauvinistically pat themselves on the back for living in a diverse country.

“You’re a fucking liar in the worst way”

You can tell everyone whatever you want about me if that helps you sleep at night.

And I know you will. There are three sides to every story. Yours, Mine, and the truth.

You will blame me for it all, when I was never the one to blame in the first place.

You’ll tell them that I stopped caring, when in reality it was you, even before I welcomed you to this city with open arms.

You’ll forget to tell them how hard I tried to support someone that never wanted to change, the person that would just lie to save face, so they didn’t have to face their own demons or emotions.

You’ll forget to tell them how many times I had left before, somehow crawling right back because I was scared, not to lose you, but I stood to loose everything I had so worked hard for while you played victim. You’ll forget to tell them how many times I bailed you out of shit as a result of your own doing.

You’ll conveniently forget to tell them so many things. You’ll fill their heads with lies as if I’m the villain, when I was nothing but a beacon in your darkest nights.

You have never been able to take responsibility for your life, your choices.

You will cry wolf, you will blame everyone instead of blaming the monster you’ve become.

Mistakes only happen once.

You were my greatest one.

[icanyon-lyimagine]

Sometimes when I watch you sleep, I wonder what fantastical events are unfolding behind your eyelids. Are you thinking of me in your slumber? Sometimes a gentle smile spreads across your face and you snuggle in just a bit more, it's these times that I hope that visions of me are dancing behind your eyes.

Before we ever said "I love you" in the waking world, I would whisper the words into your ear as you slept. I would trace them onto your skin with my fingertip and punctuate each letter with a kiss. I prayed, upon waking, you'd let the words wash over you until you could say them back to me. And when those words left your lips for the first time, it was as though I had never heard them before, not really. I knew right then that no one could love me in all the ways you do. -j.guenette

Watch "The Right Compartment - HASITHA (Visualizer) | 1 minute version" on YouTube

My heart starts beating like an express train

I'm missing my breakfast just to see your face

Im trying to smile but you keep fading away

And I'm always struggling to find the right compartment. You are going in
