Fresh Perspective (for Me, At Least) On My Loathsome Lack Of Flawlessness

I live in a part of the world when I hear a loud bang, I assume it’s fireworks and not a gunshot; I don’t appreciate this enough.

I feel like we need this reminder now and then. "... let us find ourselves a worthy goal"

Our Home

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.

It’s hard to tell if someone likes you when you don’t even like yourself.

Someone in my family: says some stupid shit.

Me: struggles not to roll eyes; struggles to say something affirming despite my deep disagreement because, despite their inability to think critically or consider information from more than one source, I love them.

Me: says something that doesn't jive with their beliefs.

My family: struggles not to roll eyes and says something affirming because, despite my disturbing lack of faith, they love me.

Extremism in any form is harmful. I know it's the only way to get media hype these days, but it's counterproductive. Let's hear it for measured, thoughtful actions based on verifiable, reproducible data, and a dose of common decency.

[TLDR: animal cruelty is just a dick move; it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, but being a dick about it actually results in more fuckery.]

Anti-PETA ≠ supporting animal cruelty.

I am 100% against both animal cruelty and PETA. Reblog if you think so too.

I watched the original Toy Story the other day... the characters had that funky marionette walk. This truly is masterful programming.
