"to endure!"

vincent van gogh ("trees and undergrowth") robert lowell [How will the heart endure?] vincent van gogh [I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I’ll fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through.] rainer maria rilke [To be loved means to be consumed. To love means to radiate with inexhaustible light. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.] joan didion [Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.] elena ferrante [maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.] elena ferrante [I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured.] han kang [The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure.] victor frankl [What is to give light must endure burning.]

15th century church I stumbled across in northern Sweden. Because it has never been heated, the original colours have been preserved.

Moo Deng Become Ungovernable by StephXstitch

Additional propaganda from the notes: Ungovernable enough that she doesn't need you to vote for her. Which is exactly why you should.

Neon Cicada by BAD Stitch

Propaganda: For the timeliness (year of the cicada and also screaming feels appropo) and how gorgeous those rainbow wings are

Additional Propaganda (from the second submitter): 2024 was the year that two cicada broods awoke from long hibernations and amassed upon North America. This pattern depicts a cicada in a more pleasing, vaporwave palette.

*More tags to be specific

I’m looking more specifically at Iran and Persia as a topic now! I’m going to pin down a specific topic for presentation in the coming weeks!

Hey! By chance, does anyone know if there are any databases of world folklore and ancient cultures/civilizations? Doing some research for projects.

Bonus points if:

- the databases include photos of excavations, paintings, and pottery.

- includes ancient poetry and music

- includes some kind of timeline/adjustable filters

Bonus Bonus points if the website are devoted to ancient Africa and The Middle East/ the Arab world.

My fav fictional genre ever is just girls/women that are magical. Magical girls. When women can kick ass and look cool. Or women having scary/paranormal powers. Maybe being a witch?? Whatever makes you happy. But girls with powers. Girls that can transform into creatures or wearing insanely complicated sparkly outfits!! Everytime I see a female character in any media that can do cool magic tricks I squeeze them aggressively. It makes 5 year old me who watched Doremi obsessively very happy.

You have options. I promise you, you have options. Even if you blow up your whole life, change your name and train hop half way across the country- you still have options. So long as you are alive you have choices and chances. If you can’t see them, ask someone else. Ask a stranger or someone who loves you. Anyone not in your situation will have different a perspective. Stay safe and stay alive.

This explains so much honestly. I keep killing their friends and slightly disgruntled coworkers. Also explains that slinky feeling that everyone is mad at me all the time.

Yeah, checks out.

writer’s block isn’t real, it’s just your characters deciding to go on strike because they’re mad about how you’ve been treating them

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Like there is nothing sexier hthan this

I love you people going into "useless" fields I love you classics majors I love you cultural studies majors I love you comparative literature majors I love you film studies majors I love you near eastern religions majors I love you Greek, Latin, and Hebrew majors I love you ethnic studies I love you people going into any and all small field that isn't considered lucrative in our rotting capitalist society please never stop keeping the sacred flame of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and understanding humanity and not merely for the sake of money alive

These tones…
