i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

In my eyes, the Myth of Sisiphus can easily be compared to something as human and mundane as being sick. I think the connection's pretty clear, actually-being sick almost feels like an uphill, never-ending battle. Not just because you're tired and delirious, but because it will always eventually happen again. Regardless of how well you take care of yourself-eventually you will fall sick once more. Not due to your own personal faults, but such is the way of life. And yet, you keep trying to stay healthy, pushing up the boulder even with the certianty that you face. And idk that's like-really beautiful.

when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit

Oh.. I still hurt for Ripley Brennan

the levels of yearning that were displayed in bones has never been done by a straight couple to that extent since. the tension they radiated every episode was unmatched. still thinking about them years later.

Related: at a neuroscience conference I was at once there was a talk on how the "microslippages" against your fingertip when you lightly pinch something are generally enough for you to work out exactly how much force to grip it with to lift it without crushing it or dropping it.

What about tosses? What about catching? THATS some serious math right there too

Theres a post somewhere about how the human brain is just constantly doing advanced calculus, even if we dont understand the math, we are still very good at consepsualizing it

seeing mon and kleya’s thrilling escapes from coruscant makes leia’s first reaction to luke and han even funnier. leia must’ve heard about these highly skilled rebels but then when she gets captured, she gets a hillbilly farmboy and an idiot smuggler to rescue her

I can’t believe mon mothma took the high road when figuring out how to deal with the missing credits. And of course by high road i mean framing her husband for a gambling addiction
