Hey, everyone!

It's the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, and if you're interested in reading a first-hand account of a college kid's experience on that tragic day, I had recently posted my journal entry on my website that I wrote on 9/13/01 as a young freshman at Lafayette College.

I go into the specifics of when I first heard what had happened, what it was like when I saw the wreckage on TV and it became real, and how people on campus reacted to events that were occurring within two hours from us (New York and DC).

I hope you find it interesting, and I'll have something more comedic up tomorrow! ✌🏼🐔

When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an attitude" and "acting out".

It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities- one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.

It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".

Because I couldn't read at home, I spent all my free time at school in the library, reading with my friends.

When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was toxic and abusive, and the "attitudes" I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.

It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.

That is not how you raise a compassionate, thoughtful, powerful society.

That's how you process cattle.

It's fucking disgusting.

thinking of goldsick thorin, not wanting to part with a single coin, searching through the treasury for the best thing to gift bilbo. finding the mithril shirt (the most valuable item in the mountain if you don't count the arkenstone) and in the middle of his madness thinking "we're going to war tomorrow bilbo needs this"... INSANE

Solas: My people had a saying long ago - "The healer has the bloodiest hands." You cannot treat a wound without knowing how deep it goes. You cannot heal pain by hiding it. You must accept. Accept the blood to make things better.

The veil is a wound inflicted upon us all.

It must be healed.

his favorite color is red and he loves pineapples and he loves the trojans because they are kind and he has to run laps around the bus to keep from falling asleep when they have early games and he doesn’t like running but he knows it’s important so he does it anyway and he learned how to braid thea’s hair for her and he knew what riko was like, if neil wanted to talk and he said he didn’t want andrew anymore so riko wouldn’t hurt him and he used to write jean memories and notes in postcards and he forgave andrew for baltimore without even needing an apology and and and
