I absolutely love how different people's perceptions of the archons are.

Liyue worships Rex Lapis because he guides their stock market and he's good at making predictions, hence why the nation is so wealthy. Meanwhile, Zhongli is just.. broke all the time.

Monstadt worships Barbatos, because they believe he's a hardworking archon who works tirelessly to protect Monstadt's freedom. While in reality, Venti doesn't do any of that (except for coming every few years to protect/free the city.)

What made me just outright giggle at the absurdity of it all is reading about these bunkers in particular: https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-survival-condo-project-luxury-doomsday-shelter-2017-4 and seeing that their plan to keep the Unwashed Masses from intruding on them during the apocalypse is armed guards up on the ground patrolling the perimeter, which just illustrates the mindset of these people, they think they can buy anything, including the idea that people will voluntarily stick around and defend them once society collapses.

Okay

I went to that link and looked at the pictures and like….they don’t post the location of that bunker but.

I think I know where it is.

I’ve been north of Witchita Kansas, which is where they say it is, and I Recognize That Landscape, y’all.

Also, the Mr. Is a professional welder.

So like. Uh. Well.

Sure would be terrible if someone saw this and felt motivated to break a law or two

Sure would be terrible if word got out that it was at 39.4118°N, 97.6803°W, about two hours north of Wichita just west of route 81

The Art and Science of Connor Bell

Connor Bell is a native of Novia Scota who moved to Montreal for big city culture.  He works as a programmer mainly in Unity and iOs.  He said that he realized that as he was getting his computer science degree that he wanted to apply what he was learning to art.  His elegant and beautiful motion creations are evidence of his success in doing that.  About this he said “ I have a lot of friends who are more traditional fine artists who I also learn a lot from in terms of artistic intent and meaning and have been slowly starting to apply that to my work “. It seems that there are a lot of creators like Connor Bell around these days who combine science and art.  I do not think it is too much of a stretch to compare what these artists/scientists do to someone like Leonardo da Vinci - someone was equally passionate about both science and art and in fact, saw them as basically the same thing.

WHAT.

The tone deafness is mind numbing

Okay, so is the point of these things to give cops an excuse to shoot unarmed black people for looking at their cell phones in public?  Or is it to make mass shootings easier by slipping these guns past security in schools?  This is cartoon villain levels of awful.  Fuck the NRA.

Guys maybe youre also forgetting the possibility that this gives police a reason to murder ANYONE who could try to RECORD THEM IN THEIR CRIMINAL ACTS. In this day and age its vital to record the police, but with this being a thing they can reasonably say they were “afraid for their lives” that someone was gonna pull THIS on them and then shoot bystanders without question

This is heinous

Getting close to fifteen thousand notes and almost every single comment is outraged and disgusted, at least people can see the terrifying implications of this

THE SHEER FUCKING BALLS THIS TOOK

Marshae Jones was shot in 2018 during an argument. She was 5-months pregnant at the time and the trauma ended the pregnancy. While charges were dropped against the shooter, the survivor, Marshae Jones is now being charged with manslaughter for starting the argument. Black and indigenous women are almost always the first targets of policies that attempt to steal autonomy over their own bodies from women. Marshae is clearly the victim in this situation, yet she now faces a hefty prison sentence for being shot. She is being held on a $50,000 bail. This is absolutely disgusting, and we must end both the system of cash bail and the prison industrial complex that seeks to criminalize black, brown, and working class white people at every opportunity. #SayHerName

The perfect day

This is 10000% real

i’m so done with the way girls in twenties are treated. i’m so done with people who literally create timetable for us. 20- 24  find a guy, 24-26 make him propose to you, 27-29 get married. i’m so done. i’m do not want to get 2 a.m texts from my best friend who is freaking out that she is gonna die alone. i do not want see my 20 years old friend wasting her time on some guys who are not even interested in her. i do not want see us falling for every nice guy who does not look creepy. i do not want to see girls get sad or paranoid just bcos they do not fill in the schedule. you are ok. you should enjoy your life at its fullest and one day you will find 10/10 so do not pursue 6 just because you do not want to be single. it is ok and one day you will find someone. do not split your love with people who does not deserve it. keep it for yourself and when time will come you will know. i know it hurts. i know you wish u could just open part of yourself and release the buzzing love. but not every kind of love is romantic. show it to your family, friends, plants, yourself.

Not a real criticism, just an expansion really, but …  it’s not just the timetables we need to get away from, but the goal itself, I think.  “One day you will find someone,” sounds comforting, but the reason it doesn’t lay fears to rest is because we are all smart enough to know it’s not necessarily true.

My aunt is over sixty, never married, and never, so far as I am aware, ever even had a great romance.  She dated a lot, but never clicked and now seems to have given up.  My mentor is over seventy, divorced her asshole husband more than half her life ago and has never found anyone since.

We all know women (and men) like these.  And because we know them, we know that “one day you will find someone,” is just … hogwash.  Because sometimes you just … don’t.  Or sometimes you do, but he turns out to be a cad.  Or you do and the universe rips you apart in the most unfair way possible.  And because society has us so fixated on finding “our other half” or whatever, we view these women as cautionary tales.

But … 

My aunt trains dogs.  Her schipperke is the national champion for his breed.  She spent so much of her life as a librarian, nurturing the love of books in kids, myself among them.  I ride horses because of her, and it’s one of the very few things I do that makes my soul feel at peace.

My mentor is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in her state.  She has devoted her life to fighting to ensure that everyone gets a vigorous defense.  Because of her countless people have had the opportunity to turn their lives around.  Because of her, they’ve had a life to turn around.  Because of her, the prosecution and the police in her jurisdiction are forced to behave ethically and adhere to the rule of law.  She’s still, even now fighting to abolish the death penalty.  It’s because of her that I am pursuing the life I am.

These women’s lives are not nothing.  In fact they are a whole lot of something, and it makes my heart hurt that I ever, in my dark 3 am’s, thought of their lives as something to be avoided at all costs.

So love your family, your friends, your pets, your gardens.  Love your job or your hobby or your raison d’ etre, whatever it is.  Love sunsets and the smell of rain and yourself, and don’t love these as something to do as a placeholder until the buzzing, romantic love comes, but love these as things worth loving all in themselves.

It’s fucking hard some days.  The dark 3 am’s still come sometimes.  But most days, I am so much more at peace knowing that I am not incomplete or waiting, but that my life, if it ended today, is worth it because of the platonic, familial, friendship love I have shared.  And if the other kind does come someday, that’ll be nice, but it won’t make any of the others less.  It’ll just be caramel sauce on a sundae–tasty and wonderful, but the sundae was perfect without it too.

I needed this today.

in the mood to join a cult of women dedicated to artemis or aphrodite or hecate, walk through the woods bare breasted in divine ecstasy, recite sappho under the stars, drink libations and pretend honey is ambrosia ~

i want a “wanna go watch the sunset?” kind of love. a “just one more minute, one more touch, one more kiss” kind of love. a “mario kart after dinner, loser does the dishes” kind of love. an “i can’t sleep, wanna go for a drive?” kind of love. a goofy and cliche and almost too good to be true kind of love. that’s what i want.
