I want to be the first person on the moon to shoot a sniper rifle at earth and hit a wasp nest.  my whole life so far is leading up to that moment

This. This is the post that I think of any time I have a headache or brain fog and have to write emails to my profs. I always double and triple check. It is because I am very Afraid.

That being said I wrote an entire essay on a bad symptom day. Mind you, this was before I was medicated for my chronic illness and my bad days then were straight-up up room-spinning, brain-bursting, exhausting exercises in defeat. In this case, I turned in my essay. My vision and brain fog were so bad that I couldn't read. I was surprised when I got a bad grade, and when I actually went back and looked I couldn't even be mad at my prof.

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

Rebel Rex 🫡

People are SLEEPING on the most interesting Leia & Padme comparisons because there's so much focus on Leia being "like Anakin" because she gets annoyed sometimes and Padme being this perfect moral beacon of truth and justice despite all of her very canonical lies and cover-ups and obstructing of justice.

If Luke is the Jedi that Anakin should've been, then Leia is the LEADER that Padme should've been.

Padme is a hypocrite, proclaiming that all people deserve basic decency and the right to safety, but at the same time allowing Anakin to get away with a mass murder with no consequences by covering it up.

Leia doesn't even let Han get away with being a little bit of an asshole, there's no way she'd let him get away with mass murder. She holds everyone around her to a higher standard, believing in the best of them but also but refusing to accept excuses for cowardice and selfishness.

Padme talks so much about wanting the war to end, but then allows one of the opposition's biggest generals go free just to get Anakin back because she cares about him, causing the war to continue to go on for even longer.

Leia lets Luke sacrifice himself because she knows it's possibly the only way they might have a victory and beat the Empire, even though she knows what he is to her and loves him. She knows what has to be done and respects the choice Luke is making and would never condemn their efforts just to keep him with her.

Padme's story parallels Anakin's, she devolves as the narrative goes on, until she's barely a shell of the person she used to be. That strength and moral clarity she showed as a Queen is entirely gone, leaving only a scared woman pleading with a murderer to come back to her.

Leia's story parallels Luke's, she gains more and more strength and clarity as the narrative moves forward. The bossy young woman we first met has become a confident rebel leader who knows she doesn't have to harden her heart to be strong.

For @pitviperofdoom’s YUTS!! I love this fic with my whole heart and I FINALLY (seriously, it’s been ages) got around to drawing something for it!

saving this for later

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Let it be known that I, a pastoral ministry student, have a grudge against Gideon from the book of Judges. I will not elaborate

the man told his son to execute enemy generals when he was a teenager and then said son got murdered by his evil brother. who makes a child murder people what the heck Gideon, you gotta be kideon me I'm aware that Judges is a master class is flawed humans and how they mess up as they get further and further from God but holy heck you just told a child to kill people and then raised your other children so badly that one of them decided to make himself a king and then killed literally all of his brothers except for like. one I mean I just

TL;DR, Judges is one of the hardest books of the Bible for Christians to deal with, to the point that we almost never talk about it.

It's about the brokenness. It's not necessarily about "heroes," it's about how the people spiral away from God further and further until they're unrecognizable and twisted. They move away from the age of prophets advising the people to this mess. It's the bad part, but it points the way to a king in Israel to bring stability, which leads to David and his line, which leads to Jesus. It's the down swing, the painful reminder of how evil humanity can become. It's a snapshot of our sin. It's becoming a monster not just to God but to people. I'm screaming

I elaborated

going home

Just went and looked at Hermitcraft.

Abolish the comic book industrial complex 🙂

was at lunch with a friend a few weeks ago talking about Onfim (Russian schoolboy who drew on his homework around the 13th century) and she said "Yeah? That's just human nature?"

YEAH IT IS THAT'S THE POINT WE'RE HUMANS WE'RE HUMANS AND WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN HUMANS FROM BABY HANDPRINTS IN CAVES WHERE BIG PEOPLE WOULD'VE HAD TO PICK THEM UP AND HELP THEM TO THE LOVE WORK INTO OTZI'S SHOES TO SILLY GRAFFITI IN POMPEII. WE'RE HUMANS AND WE WERE MADE THIS WAY TO MAKE ART AND SKNG AND DANCE AND LIVE. THAT'S THE THESIS GOD MADE US LIKE THIS AND YOU CAN TRACE THE WONDER THAT IS HUMANITY ACROSS THE WORLD AND THE MILLENIA. IT'S SO COOL

i like archaeology.

(also note the continuing dedication to Ea-Nasir. Excellent choice on everyone's part to discuss sub-par copper)

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.

I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.

Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.

And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!

Is that not just the coolest shit ever????

for what purpose

Okay, I have redrawn this, lol. Original below.

“barbara gordon getting paralyzed for the sake of bruce wayne’s development was misogynist, but oracle is a better mantle for her and she should still be a wheelchair user.” i say into the mic.

the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks.

“she’s right,” they say. everyone turns to the 5th row, but no one is there. then on the screen behind me: barbara gordon herself.
