I feel like we need this reminder now and then. "... let us find ourselves a worthy goal"
This Image was taken from the International Space Station nearly 12 years ago on July 21, 2003. Think of it, the Earth’s Space Station - Humanity’s Space Station - is now more than 16 years old. Before that humanity had separate stations, but now we explore the grandest of mysteries united. This great effort of space exploration demands peaceful compromise and cooperation. There are now millions of children who know space in this way. So, when you feel that life is heavy. If the news tells you that we have failed. If you are beginning to loose hope. Just look up. Know that this is the future of our Species: On a Station orbiting Earth once every 90 minutes, the peaceful ascent of humanity into the Solar System has begun. This is the beginning of our great journey.
“If we crave some cosmic purpose, let us find ourselves a worthy goal“

I was about 4 and said to my dad, "Screw you!" He wheeled on me with ferocity unforeseen and I couldn't figure out why...I thought it meant using a screwdriver. I mean, he said it all the time; what else could he have been talking about?
story time: i taught my little cousin her first longer word when she was very young. i taught her to say “tax benefits”. and to this day my aunt still doesn’t know where she got it from, but it was a hilarious sight to see a little toddler waddling around the house, wearing a big diaper, all the while yelling “TAX BENEFITS!!!!”
Yeah, it happens... They are pages in the story of each of our lives.
Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.
Been there, done that!

More CRan jokes! More pictures! :)
Alright, everyone who is and isn’t ready this. Well, I suppose those of you who aren’t reading this wouldn’t see my hello, so… Anyways, Day 5 went something like this: I woke up and ate breakfast. Afterwards, on the bus, our tour guide read us some *actual* complaints from past tours and some...
A good story, flawlessly told? Nah...take a hard left turn off that road and hang on for the ride!
Prince Mith presents: “The Poet In Me”
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Isabella Diamonde, an ordinary country girl with seafoam orbs and honey-colored tresses, knows she’s taking a risk when she applies as a housemaid in the Black Estate. After all, an air of dark mystery surrounds its Count, the chisel-jawed and arrogant Arthorious Black, who is famed for his provocative iconoclastic poems and happens to be mesmerizingly handsome. But what choice does Isabella have? After all, her father, who always saw her as a burden, is terribly ill and can’t afford treatment.
Before Isabella knows it, she is caught in a downward spiral of sinister secrets and devouring passion, where desires pool darkly, salacious confessions are whispered and ejaculated, and inner deities dance to scandalous rhythms unheard of before.
And there’s bondage too!

Following last week’s poll, I decided to exchange the weekly bonus poems for one or two pages of “The Poet in Me,” a satire romance novel where I’ll try to fulfill every romance cliche, break every writing rule, and use every flowery adjective and metaphor to have ever been seen on a page. A little respite beside the serious writing for “Dreams of the Dying.”
Starting next week, I’ll release a new page on my Patreon each Tuesday for Patrons and probably make it public here on Tumblr a week later.
Please reblog if you think Isabella Diamonde’s and Arthorious Black’s story is worth being told! :)
So important for everyone to understand
A new video series from Planned Parenthood is illustrating just how sexy consent is.
Published on Sept. 21, the four videos created by Planned Parenthood discuss consent and how integral it is in healthy hook ups and relationships. The videos cover topics including the definition of consent, and the signals to look out for when your partner is just not into it.
