If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
Oh hey! Havenāt seen this in forever! Didnāt reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.
A very beautiful image of these smiley blackfoot. It seemed everything was alrightā¦
Photograph by Mary T. S. Schaffer in 1907.
I just love how humanizing this is, itās the first time Iāve seen us not depicted as the stoic archetype of this period
Pictured here are Sampson, Frances Louise, and Leah Beaver who actually were very close friends with the photographer and were regular subjects of her work. Itās amazing what happens when you view us as people rather than museum objects - you capture us as people, as friends, as lovers, as parents rather than the stoic image of genocide and colonialism in-progress.Ā
If youāre interested in learning more about female photographers and how they aided in representing native peoples through positive representation and ethical photography, I would suggest readingĀ āTrading Gazes.ā Mary T.S. Schaffer and other influential female photographers, and friends, of native peoples are given some much-needed recognition in this book while also discussing the white womanās place in our genocide and colonization.Ā

My first biology professor had an āinadequacy drawerā full of things to remind him he wasnāt, in fact, the dumbest and laziest person to ever exist. It was mostly Darwin, notably these two bits:
āBut I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.ā
āI am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids and today I hate them worse than everything.ā
āI am at work on the second vol. of the Cirripedia, of which creatures I am wonderfully tired: I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before, not even a Sailor in a slow-sailing ship.ā
-Charles Darwin on a letter to his cousin
Charles Darwin: unexpected depression hero.
I knew aboutĀ āI am very poorly and very stupid and hate everybody and everything,ā but not the others.Ā
āI hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate beesā is A Mood.
My favorite Darwinism: āI am dying by inches, from not having any body to talk to about insectsā.Ā Hits me right at the center of my hyperfixated soul.
I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before
āThe work has been turning out badly for me this morning and I am sick at heart and oh my God how I do hate species & varietiesā

I am thinking today about the meaning of suffering, and the diverse trials humans experience.
What is the point
I think the point can only be understood by those who experience it, and even then you can never understand the reason. You just know how it changed you, for better or for worse.

[image description: tweet by Netchimenās Reverie that reads āTolkien describing places that are evil: no trees grow thereā /end description]
This is doubtless because of his experience of the trenches in the Great War.
Like, this is what things looked like to soldiers who fought in that war (image in black and white of a solitary soldier walking across a muddy wasteland pocked with puddles):
Hereās Delville Wood, the site of a battle in 1916 (sepia image of a wasteland dotted with broken and dead trees):
Hereās an image from the Battle of the Somme, in which Tolkien participated (image of soldiers standing above and inside a trench or earthwork in a grey wasteland; smoke from artillery is on the horizon)
So yeah: no trees = evil was Tolkienās own direct lived experience. Itās precisely why Mordor and the wastelands around it look like they do in his books.
the plateau of gorgoroth, the heartland of mordor, is described as being scarred by countless pits dug by orcs the true seat of evil is full of foxholes and trenches
Thereās a lesson to be learned here.
I hope Tolkien would be happy to learn that a hundred years on, trees grow again here:
From The Atlantic.
I think that Tolkien would be very happy to see that.
The trees have reclaimed the land in which hell had been brought
when people talk about writingĀ āthe next Lord of the Ringsā they think itās all about the wars and the languages and the histories, and Aragorn brooding in the corner of an inn and the Balrog roaring in Moria and the ruins of Isengard, and thatās how we got Game of Thrones and several dozen cheap fantasy knock-offs every year, not to mention whatever nonsense the Amazon show is going to produce
but Tolkienās wars and languages and histories stemmed from his loveĀ of creating - of words and history and mythos - and that love infuses into everything he writes, and if you miss that then thereās no way in hell you can replicate it
and the people who want to write the next Lord of the Rings because they want to write the next epic donāt get that the story is about the hobbitsā soft and simple lives and Bilboās poetryĀ and Samās love language being food and Eowyn discovering hope after depression and Gandalf making fireworks for hobbits even if he is a literal angelic being, and Aragorn weeping over Boromirās body and Theodenās kindness to Merry, and Beregond betraying his most prized orders to save Faramir, and the unlikely friendship between Gandalf and Pippin, and the even unlikelier friendship between Legolas and Gimli, and Sam and Frodo singing to each other in Mordor, and Boromir sacrificing himself for the hobbits, and Samās simple love for Rosie, and the restoration of the Shire, and the friendship of the Fellowship surviving down through the ages, and peace after war and hope in darkness, and the love between a gardener and a gentleman pacifist being literally the only thing that saves Middle Earth
and that is why people who try to recreate Lord of the Rings by starting with war always get it wrong. you have to start with the love, or itās nothing: just another empty history
