You Aren’t A Failure If You Aren’t Productive In A Way Society Expects. This Applies Even When You’re

Shoutout to my fellow chronically ill people on tumblr who are having a hard time. This pain doesn't have to last forever. Even if some diseases can't be cured, it doesn't mean they can't be treated and that we can't find more comfort within our lives. We are here. And we will stay here and let people know we exist. Let society know we deserve access to better healthcare, to transportation, any type of equipment that helps us to walk, eat, shower. We deserve caretaking, accessible and safe spaces where we can move freely, better work conditions with good payment, and benefits for those of us who can't work. Yes, you may be in pain. But you are still here. You've been fighting for so long and I know it is tiring, but you are so strong. We need you here. I am here, feeling pain alongside you, feeling tired of fighting, but still holding your hand and telling you to have faith because we can make this world a better place.

That's the realest thing anyone's told me online, I ain't even mad.

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’

100 Days of Dante: Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy: The Inferno – Canto 11

I apologize for the wait. I had some things going on this past week, but hopefully I’ll be able to catch up soon! Questions for Reflection In this canto we pause in the journey to listen to Virgil as he describes the moral landscape of hell. What are some surprising details about its arrangement? Why do you think Dante the Poet has designed his Inferno in such a way? I was surprised about how…
