Most of the time, if you do something odd you're not allowed to do, getting you out of there is all that people are really concerned with. If you haven't stolen anything, caused any material damage, and clearly have no intention to put up a fight over being removed from the situation, you're not worth the trouble of getting you into trouble. Somebody who's unloading boxes from a company van to a storage and comes back to the truck to find that some weirdo has climbed inside the van through the open back doors doesn't get paid enough to forcibly physically detain you until the police arrive.
Most likely they just go "dude. could you like fuck off? you're not supposed to be there." And as soon as you shrug like "yeah lmao I know, sorry, impulse overtook me" and clearly proceed to comply with the request to fuck off, you're free to go, they're just relieved that you're gone. Most people aren't hell-bent on vengeance and punishment, they just want you to stop being their problem.

Hey I know I'm not that much of a punk circles kind of guy, but just in case you kids don't have anyone more credible to tell you this: do not put endangering badges on your back.
Yes, your battle jacket should consist exclusively of whatever the fuck you want to put on it, but if you've got political badges, rainbow pins, or anything advertising yourself as a member of a vulnerable group (whether that's trans, disabled, any kind of ethnic or refugee background, you probably know what yours are better than I do), only put them in places where you can see everyone who can see them. I'm not joking this is a safety measure. Punk scenes can be rough and sketchy places and not everyone who attends them is safe to be around.
You don't need to come tell me that this is unfair, because you're right. You don't need to come tell me that I shouldn't be telling you not to put a target on your back, but that I should be telling people who assault people to not assault people, because you're wrong. Yeah no shit it sucks but unfortunately if nazis gave a single fuck about who is morally correct, they wouldn't be nazis in the first place.
Be yourself by any means necessary, but protect yourself by any means necessary. Rainbows go in the front of the jacket.
We love the Ides of March because it’s the last example of a senate working together to accomplish something.
Just remember 60 people signed on to stab Caesar and he only had 23 stab wounds, the real moral of the story is group projects have always just been like that
“Dogs don’t know what they look like. Dogs don’t even know what size they are. No doubt it’s our fault, for breeding them into such weird shapes and sizes. My brother’s dachshund, standing tall at eight inches, would attack a Great Dane in the full conviction that she could tear it apart. When a little dog is assaulting its ankles the big dog often stands there looking confused — “Should I eat it? Will it eat me? I am bigger than it, aren’t I?” But then the Great Dane will come and try to sit in your lap and mash you flat, under the impression that it is a Peke-a-poo… Cats know exactly where they begin and end. When they walk slowly out the door that you are holding open for them, and pause, leaving their tail just an inch or two inside the door, they know it. They know you have to keep holding the door open. That is why their tail is there. It is a cat’s way of maintaining a relationship. Housecats know that they are small, and that it matters. When a cat meets a threatening dog and can’t make either a horizontal or a vertical escape, it’ll suddenly triple its size, inflating itself into a sort of weird fur blowfish, and it may work, because the dog gets confused again — “I thought that was a cat. Aren’t I bigger than cats? Will it eat me?” … A lot of us humans are like dogs: we really don’t know what size we are, how we’re shaped, what we look like. The most extreme example of this ignorance must be the people who design the seats on airplanes. At the other extreme, the people who have the most accurate, vivid sense of their own appearance may be dancers. What dancers look like is, after all, what they do.”
— Ursula Le Guin, in The Wave in the Mind (via fortooate)
Hey don’t cry….almost time to stab ceaser again ok?
sorry i cant hang out tomorrow im celebrating the death of a 2123 year old roman politician with a bunch of psychos on tumblr. yeah its gonna be all day
After you gave your master the standard 3 wishes, you told him to leave the lamp in a place like a women’s shelter or a homeless camp. Instead he sold your lamp to the highest bidder and now you are determined to twist the 3 wishes to the detriment of both your current and former master.
We picked you because we saw greatness,
We picked you because you were the best.
We picked you and you loved us,
And we loved you too.
We called you a name,
We made you home.
Between our game,
Between the unknown.
When we made you a new house,
We loved you.
When we knew it was a coffin,
We loved you.
When we kissed you nose goodbye,
We loved you.
When we sent you to the sky,
We loved you.
You were confused, most likely,
Scared, certainly.
And we loved you.
As the engine died,
As you were left alone in the dark,
No one you could recognize around,
In a space too small yet too vast.
Did you know that we loved you ?
Did it matter ?
You died like a star,
And we never saw you again,
We were the reason, I'm afraid.
At never again, my friend.
in psalm sixty, his faith has the feeling of a roofie. תַּרְעֵלָֽה, staggering and reeling. the register here is softer, though, than the poisoning he's known for
"Am I my brother's keeper?" Is probably one of my favorite lines in all literature and in all history of humanity because that's literally what it all boils down to. And in a sense, whole bible is an answer to that one question. And if we look at it more broadly, answer to this question is also the answer to life. We are our brothers' keepers, we are here to take care of each other. All of us. "In this terrifying world, all we have are the connections we make."
“We are here, and this is now.” Constable Visit, a strict believer in the Omnian religion, occasionally quoted that from their holy book. Vimes understood it to mean, in less exalted copper speak, that you have to do the job that is in front of you.
--Terry Pratchett, Night Watch
The gender euphoria of having just a bit of rough stubble on your chin. Short and blunt - a clean look overall, but with a subtle touch of disheveled masculinity poking through. That's what it's all about. :-]

just. john the apostle. john the beloved. john the youngest. john who rests his head on jesus' shoulders while he speaks. john who stayed with the women during the passion & wasnt ashamed of sharing their pain. john who got to the empty tomb before anyone else. john the patron saint of love & friendship & loyalty & writers & poets. my good friend john
Listen, I have seen many a posts to the tune of "Hozier is a fae god!" Or "Florence is a fae god!" And I am here to tell you that neither of them are fae gods. Paramours, probably, maybe members of an Entourage, but gods? No.
You want to know who an actual fucking fae god is???
Kendrick Lamar.
The pettiness. The creativity. The persuasiveness. The accuracy. He had 110 million people across the nation today singing "a minooooor" like it was fucking nothing. This man has cast a thousand-year curse on Aubrey Graham's bloodline that cannot be undone through mortal means.
Now, THAT is some fae god level shit.
something so scary but so sexy about the word "hallow", particularly when it's used to mean something you can do to someone rather than something. to hallow someone, to be hallowed. and it's mostly word association i suppose but part of it to me is how close "hallow" is to "hollow". turning someone holy, emptying them out of everything that actually makes them who they are in the process. do you understand. do you feel me
East coast counties are so small because they were made so nobody in the county had to ride a horse for more than a day to get to do government business.
Midwest counties are often square because of the homesteading act. Everything was cut into square pieces of land for a while to make it easier to distribute.
Western counties are just big. Nobody in there. Had to draw lines somewhere. Trains exist now they’ll figure it out
The plot structures of movies need to start taking more cues from classic opera. Open with a fucker in a hat who directly addresses the audience and explains what's going on in a way that raises far more questions than it answers, then immediately drop the viewer into the middle of a shouting argument between three of the weirdest people you can possibly imagine.
