Temporarily embarrassed millionaires are the bane of this country. Can’t pass anything to have the rich carry their fair share because some working class people think it will one day affect them.
don’t think about imogen asking what orym saw on the other side, and don’t think about orym telling imogen about seeing his husband, and don’t think about the quiet resentment that would usually quickly curdle into anger in imogen’s heart (but she’s too tired now, too wholly sad) and don’t think about the next thought that crosses her mind…
that, had they chosen differently, orym could’ve stayed there with him. he’d be with him. and she’d get to be here with her.
Sssssoooooo I took a break about an hour into episode 33 of critical role campaign 3 about a year ago. Just wasn’t feeling it and had books I wanted to read.
I’m now out of books so I restarted listening to the episode…
Sir David Attenborough demonstrates the accuracy of the Mozambique Spitting Cobra’s venom streams by wearing a chemically treated visor that makes the venom turn purple on contact.
When I say “free water, free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free education for everyone” in that “everyone” I even include the people I hate. Too many people get surprised at the idea that I do wish for the people I hate to have better lives.
"Naturalist E. O. Wilson writes, “There can be no purpose more
inspiring than to begin the age of restoration, reweaving the wondrous diversity of life that still surrounds us.” The stories are piling up all around in scraps of land being restored: trout streams reclaimed
from siltation, brownfields turned into community gardens, prairies reclaimed from soybeans, wolves howling in their old territories, schoolkids helping salamanders across the road. If your heart isn’t raised by the sight of whooping cranes restored to their ancient flyway, you must not have a pulse. It’s true that these victories are as small and fragile as origami cranes, but their power moves as inspiration. Your hands itch to pull out invasive species and replant the native flowers. Your finger trembles with a wish to detonate the explosion of an obsolete dam that would restore a salmon run. These are antidotes to the poison of despair."
