Human endurance is staggering, both as individuals and as a collective
Siege warfare.
Every civilization has a grasp on military actions to one degree or another. It's almost unheard of for any save for the most utopian gardenworlders to not have a history shaped by conflict.
Skirmishes, extended front lines, major offensives, charges, artillery, even WMDs. Everyone is familiar with such and many more related concepts in theory and practice. Too much practice for some...
What Humanity introduced to us through their history was, at first, simply an extension of certain realities of what war can be. Then the same individual battles in their past continued. On and on. Page after page, book after book. Some lasted for months, even years before any kind of resolution.
Constant engagement and casualties, seemingly with no regard for the lives of the individuals doing the fighting. Because as a collective they either decided or, more commonly by orders or circumstance, were forced to accept a new reality of suffering and death.
And the Humans learn to bear with it, even embrace it. Even laugh at it, for what else is there left. The survivors are forever changed, certainly, yet fundamentally most maintain their humanity, many even gain a sort of heightened perception and understanding of what it means to be alive at all.
Soldiers and civilians alike are not spared the horrors in Human wars, how could they be? There is barely any period pre-first contact where some part of Earth wasn't burning.
Certain conflicts stand out sharply, which is quite a morbid achievement, most notably to us any that have Humans fighting roughly in the same place for extended periods of time. We can barely imagine how a battle could last more than a few hours, let alone weeks and more. Wars can go on for decades and centuries, that is not new to us, but to endure the stress of an active battlefield for so long... the physical and mental fortitude required for that is something seemingly only Humans have in abundance.
However, what staggers us most are the first hand witness accounts of such battles. The full spectrum of Human emotion is on full display there - hope and desperation, love and hate, disgust and apathy, fear and amusement. There are countless stories of individual bravery and cowardice, ingenuity and obstinance, sacrifice and abandonment.
Yet the most staggering fact is that they are still here to tells us those stories themselves. Individually they all come from such pasts, but as a whole they manage to keep moving on despite everyone holding within them such pain. These stories are how they share the pain, and Human communities can withstand near limitless amounts of individual torment by supporting one another, even when each is already suffering beyond imagining. It is no wonder then that Humanity managed to survive and thrive even after turning their world into a Deathworld among Deathworlds.
Woe is be to any who incur the ire of Humanity. Their enduring patience will outlast any should brutal swiftness prove insufficient.

What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless
Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.
2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.
3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.
4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.
5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up.
6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.
PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

Mental Crop Rotation
When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.
To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”
So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.
Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.
