“In height he was rather over six feet, and so excessively lean that he seemed to be considerably taller. His eyes were sharp and piercing, save during those intervals of torpor to which I have alluded; and his thin, hawk-like nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision. His chin, too, had the prominence and squareness which mark the man of determination. His hands were invariably blotted with ink and stained with chemicals, yet he was possessed of extraordinary delicacy of touch, as I frequently had occasion to observe when I watched him manipulating his fragile philosophical instruments.”

Just found out via Facebook that there's been another school shooting earlier today, this time a Florida high school. My sincerest condolences to anyone/everyone affected by this incident. I've been blessed enough to not have to experience anything like this personally, and I don't know if I could really say I can even imagine the pain; it's almost unbearable to even try, let alone actually experience it. If I have followers in or around the area of Parkland, FL, I hope you're all safe and healthy with your families, and my prayers if you're not so fortunate as that. And now, I need to apologize because I'm frankly pretty pissed off about it and I feel like I'm going to explode. I'm so tired of hearing about shootings anywhere. No, I'm certainly not any less sad for the affected, but I have to admit I'm getting worn down. And on fucking Valentine's Day, no less. Literally the worldwide day of fucking LOVE (I'm pretty sure worldwide; if not, my apologies for the presumption. That's just how pissed I am right now, I guess), and there are people with the gall to go about shooting other human beings, and then get on with the rest of their day. It just makes me so sad and sick and furious. I'd better just leave it at that. It's already repetitive, and I honestly have got nothing else worth adding. TL; DR my heart is broken for those in Florida affected by the shooting in the high school, and anyone else who may have family in the area of Parkland FL.

Going to college is not the only way to be successful. Going to college is not for everyone. Not going to college does not make you a failure.

I’d like to also add to this, that it’s never too late to go to college!

You don’t have to stay asleep all night. If you wake up, or if you can’t fall asleep, just rest in your soft warm bed. You don’t have to close your eyes and lie perfectly still. Cuddle your pillows, rub your feet together, watch the light on your curtains. You don’t have to know how long you’ll sleep. Doze, daydream, write stories in your head. You’re not doing it wrong. You can breathe.

the point of wanting a “redemption arc” (whatever that may mean) for villains is not, in my experience, based on not understanding that they did a bad thing, or that people who do bad things can be interesting. 

the point is, in my experience, wanting a redemption arc. they’re a compelling story, when done well. they make an interesting plot and they push against strict definitions of good and evil, challenge where the line if between “redeemable” and “irredeemable” and the limits of compassion. 

and also? people might want one because they sympathize with a villain and want to see them do better. because if you can see your worst self in a character - you might also want to see the potential for a better self, too.

look, I’m just tired of shitty ass discourse about how people who want redemption arcs just don’t understand villains and I’m not gonna stop yelling about it until I stop seeing it.
