Not liking both candidates is not an excuse. This is not about you. This is about your community and the world you share with the rest of us.

You are going to do harm until you can unlearn the cruel ways in which systems of power reinforce themselves through the actions & relationships of every individual within them.

Just like how evangelicals oppose doing anything to improve the Earth before the rapture comes, these types believe half-measures are pointless. "We DON'T need [change that would benefit many people right now], we NEED a REVOLUTION!" We don't need gradual change; all at once or not at all, and in fact, it's suspect if you are working on those smaller-scale changes. But since all these people do is tweet and do podcasts they're uh, not exactly forcing the end anytime soon

No matter how ASOIAF ends, the Targaryen dynasty won’t last much longer and is bound to be a historical footnote. A weird regime that rose through the overwhelming force of its dragons, and collapsed quickly once that power was gone. No lasting legacy outside of misery and maaaybe a still united Westeros, little impact on culture or economics or technology. Beep bop.

it's like anakin is a heroic precursor, whose brief, golden life in the light was coextensive with our brief glimpse in the films of that civilized world that was lost with his fall. that lost identity is just one step higher and beyond into the realm of legend, the realm of the jedi, when the world was good and noble, with honor and justice. darth vader may roam among the OT heroes but anakin lingers in the story as a story until the very end, when he returns to destroy the last of the titanic elder generation, making way for the new age of heroes.

At its center is a 1400 light year stellar bar which has been an important influence on the overall morphology of the galaxy. Surrounding the central bar is an inner stellar disk with a radius of about 2300 light years. Further out at a radius of about 3500 light years is an almost perfectly circular starburst ring.

Emotionally Evocative Watercolors by Agnes-Cecile

Earlier this year panGenerator was invited by Copernicus Science Center to create an installation for the new media and technology oriented Transformations Festival and given the central idea of this years edition – empowering people via new tools such as 3d printing and new collaboration frameworks, the team decided to implement an idea they developed some time ago. They strived for something that generates intricate emergent behaviours based on very simple and autonomous building blocks. Read more here.
