You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

an admirer praising the curls of their lover

the night sky cascades down his shoulders. the dark clouds of enchantment sit comfortably looming. o sakhi, his dark locks are so intoxicating. even his beloved spends night after night running her fingers through them, reciting verses of poetry, praisingly. as silky as satin, the eyes of many women seem to slip from his coils to the rest of him. enticed by his beauty, don’t you see them prancing about deliriously? as curly as a stream, i’ve seen even men stumble in their tread when they witness his bewitching tresses. oh, how they writhe in envy! ay sakhi, come and look look closely & see that in the twists of those curls lies many many distant dreams; of those who want him but can never have him.

#wonder how keh mukarni would sound like in these verses #desi dark academia #desiblr

zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that "um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn't real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species..." um YES? that's also where tool use comes from? that's where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren't "real" because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?

sorry u can't enjoy things. im a superior being twirling a fork in my bowl of delicious noodles whilst staring in adoration at the world

#simple cognition does not make us complex creatures with brain #use of the cognitive processes to make living simple makes us an example of creatures with well functioning brain #sectional nihilism takes away so much from that

The railways are love. They're crowdy and roudy and still exist in a different plane of human experience coz you'll get to meet so many diverse people who'll share food and stories. It's an amazing experience as an introvert too coz there's nothing more comfortable than sitting on your own sleeper seat with headphones and gazing at changing sceneries with chai. If we get to sit next to a shadi party then it's the crazy feeling bollywood writes songs about.

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

i don't think people in gaza will have a ramadan kareem this year, they will have one though. one day, a ramadan without bombs, without death, without starvation, without pain, without war, on a free (from the river to the sea) palestine. until then, keep them in your thoughts and prayers everyday. donate if/whenever you can, keep posting/reblogging about palestine however you can.

ramadan kareem everyone. i hope it brings patience, victory and salvation to gaza. amen

I don't think I've seen anybody talk about how absolutely insane The Boiling Rock is from Hakoda's perspective.

Imagine getting captured, and your son tells you that you won't be apart for too long. That's sweet, but obviously your son has no resources to spare for organizing a breakout. You hope that the Avatar can defeat the Fire Lord soon - that's the earliest time you could hope to be rescued.

You get put into a temporary holding facility until the guards can sort out who is who. After a while, they put you on a prisoner transport to the Boiling Rock. Your captors try to intimidate you by telling you that it's the highest security prison in the Fire Nation, probably the whole world. It's far away from the capital.

You arrive at the Boiling Rock. It really is in the middle of a boiling lake. There's only one way in or out, and it's a gondola that takes you above the boiling lake. You meet the warden. They take you to your cell. You settle down to wait for the end of the war.

And 15 minutes later Sokka comes in like "hey dad I'm here I got the prince of the Fire Nation and an Earth Kingdom ninja leader gf ok let's go I'm busting you out"
