Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day. I wrote this poem last year to honour women and today I post it as a spoken word. Honour all women, whether they are your wives, girlfriends, sisters, friends, daughters, mothers, grandmothers or aunts. Honour even women you don’t know. Today I especially dedicate this piece to the women and girls who are being held in captivity and being abused by a terror organisation. I honour the women who were brutally ravaged on Oct. 7, 2023 and for whom the rest of the world still remain silent. They are, and were, ALL our wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends.
Interviewer: Let's talk about Lord Stark. At first he appears to be a classic hero, the Heinlein-style competent man. He's the guy who knows how to do things, but eventually he screws up. He underestimates the enemy. Your heroes make mistakes too.
George: Yes, they do. Stark is a character who is very concerned about his honor. He's a good man and an honorable man, but in some ways that is a drawback. He's in his element when he's in his own land, the North, where he rules as almost a king without a crown. He's not in his element in the pit of political intrigue and infighting and the complex network of alliances and betrayals that's going on at King's Landing. But history is full of people like that, honorable men who wanted to do right, but weren't quite up to it. That doesn't necessarily mean they were stupid, sometimes the very virtues that we admire in men make them less able to be politically astute.
Humility must be the measure of a man whose success was bought with the blood of his subordinates, and paid for with the lives of his friends.

I have come to understand that Crabtopia might not be a 100% accepted truth among crab tumblr, and I am hear to clear up a few things.
Carcinization is the process by which species have an overwhelming tendency to evolve into Crab. Why? Why indeed.
It follows that Crab, as a form, is ultimate.
Crab beats rock, Crab beats Paper, Crab beats scissors. The Crab is the ultimate form.
Crab is superior to man, woman, and child.
So what do we do with this information? I'm glad you asked.
Here there are two schools of thought.
Humans will become Crab, and may indeed be getting closer to crab every day.
2) Crab will one day rise from the ocean and take their place as the dominant species of earth. They will become our overlords. We will serve Crab. This seems likely, as Crab has already made several military plays for land territory.
I hear you, sobbing uncontrollably at your screen, what do we do? How do we ensure our survival in the face of this unprecedented threat?
There is only one thing we can do.
We must submit.
We must show them we are on their side. We must do it now, before it is reasonable for them to beleive we do so only in the face of our own extinction. Only then will we achieve Crabtopia.
All hail the mighty Crab.
May the Crab offer absolution. May the Crab punish the disloyal.
Inform those you trust. NO SPYING. If you suspect your associates may be anti-Crab, hide this information at all costs. We cannot risk being seen to aid the enemy of Crab. Too much is at stake.
No one should ever try to control or manipulate others. We can’t control how others act toward us. But we can control ourselves, our emotions, our actions, who we allow in our lives and how we react to situations. We are in control of what we will tolerate and how we allow others to treat us. It’s called boundaries. And don’t let anyone call you controlling because you enforce them to protect yourself.
