Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later youāll see someone posting something about it like ācan we talk about this frameā and youāll be like āah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.ā

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.
If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.

i really love that project hail mary made it so clear how much grace loves earth. describing it to rocky, showing him bits of the culture and nature. the water and the cities. the birds. he sincerely and deeply loves earth.
you don't even have a dog. he had a whole planet. he loved being alive on earth and they took that from him.

i like that while queen amidala's signature color is red, PADME'S is definitely blue. with her slave disguise, the first time we really get to see "padme naberrie", and from thereon how often it's used during her most vulnerable moments with her family and her husband
there's just something special to me about how it was what she was wearing when she first met anakin, showed him her home, became the color we most often see her wear in her apartment after marrying him, and the color she was buried in after her last words swore his innocence
#it was only after writing all this that i realized 'well it's also his lightsaber color. that might also have something to do with it' (tags via op)

Baltimore Catechism comes in handy again; have you ever been in a situation where you know someone is doing something wrong, but you're not sure to what extent you are obligated to express your concern about that action? Some guy at a party casually mentioning he takes stuff from work, a friend of a friend asks if you want a tarot reading done, etc? Well, the commentary for Q. 222 says:
We are obliged to [admonish the sinner] in the following circumstances: First. When his fault is a mortal sin. Second. When we have some authority or influence over him. Third. When there is reason to believe that our warning will make him better instead of worse.
So you're probably not obligated to tell tell a friend of a friend that you have just met that they shouldn't do tarot, but you probably are obligated to, say, express your concern to a good friend about their amount of alcohol intake. I think the third criterion is interesting, because while it can be read as a 'get get out jail' free card ("I shouldn't say anything, because they'll just double down on their pet sin"), I think it is more useful as a challenge to ask ourselves: "Is there a way that I can brooch this topic in a way in a way that is loving, and in a way that the other person can really hear what I am trying to say?"

My personal rule of thumb: I donāt go to places where it would be near-impossible to retrieve my (theoretically) dead body from.
For instance, I will never climb Mount Everest or go cave diving āļø
Personally, I think Iām on to something here
so yesterday at the hand doctor's office he said he was sorry if the scarring impacts any pictures for the wedding (bc it's my left pinkie that was injured..) and then i jokingly called the busted hand beautiful, to which he said, "well, tell your fiancĆ© that the hand doctor says you really just need a giant rock on your ring finger to distract everyone" like bro Now we're talking! š¤£š¤£ can i get a script for that or, ??
I think shows and movies should stop saying 'accept every part of yourself even the bad parts' and instead say 'acknowledge every part of you and strive to overcome the bad parts' because just accepting your flaws and the 'shameful' parts of yourself isn't going to truly set yourself free, something needs to be done about them

Borzois and Concordes are actually distant cousins
big fan of the idea that Stark Industries starts selling basic household appliances once the weapons manufacturing gets dropped. SI toaster. SI curling iron.
But with this idea I also need there to be a āstark industries householdsā youtube channel that is, technically, an official SI channel. But itās not in the slightest used for marketing or anything of the sort. Tony is the only one with the password and every video uploaded is tony going through how to use that machine.
Someone canāt figure out how to empty their damn fancy vacuum and they look up the model on youtube to figure it out, and are greeted by the CEO of the company doing a WILDLY informal tutorial on how to use it and common issues and such.
The videos are often shot by DUM-E or U. Tony often looks very disheveled, and sometimes thereās unrevealed projects just sitting out in the background. Tony acts like heās talking to an audience of five people and usually thereās five or six videos uploaded back to back, CLEARLY shot in one sitting.
(Tony likes doing them because itās a very simple way to ease the āTony stark dead at ___ā headlines without doing a damn press conference. The videos also make people a bit less intimidated by him, and he rarely gets to interact with his creations in an authentic way with an audience.)

Itās crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles
The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And theyāre pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.
The new plants also help even more water soak into the ground which reduces flooding even more.
These places also give people places to grow food and graze animals like people are turning completely dry compact desert into a refuge for wildlife and plants and solving regional food insecurity just by digging holes.
The half-circles are called zaĆÆ! They're a traditional farming practice in the Sahel desert, and their introduction + reintroduction can be largely credited to Yacouba Sawadogo, the man linked above! He reintroduced and innovated on the zaĆÆ on his own farm in the 1980s, and did extensive outreach (along with scientist Mathieu OuĆ©draogo) to encourage other farmers to adopt them as well.
He also promoted the use of cordons pierreux, which are basically just lines of rocks to reduce erosion, preserve sediments, and increase water absorption.
Immensely cool dude. He's been a personal hero since I learned about him.
Ooooh, Mr. Sawadoga innovated the traditional zai method by adding manure and other biological matter to the holes! This put nutrients in the soil as well as helping even more with water retention and attracted termites whose tunnels helped loosen the compacted earth, all of which supported plant-growth like no zai before! Which increased water-retention even further! Oh excellent, excellent work!
It is a crime that the link preview doesn't show Mr. Sawadoga's face, so here's his photo from Wikipedia.
This is the face of a man adding beauty to the world and making the future better.
A People grow great when old men plant trees under whose shade they know they will never rest.
