so there's a new fish (Branchiostegus sanae). it's named after San from Princess Mononoke because of its cheek stripes and I'm in love with the picture they used to illustrate this:
San looking lovingly at this fish while it is giving me the worst side eye imaginable.
also:
perhaps?
in love with this threatening yet promising sentence from some random sports post. yes. step into the water and grieve for your maker for you will become unrecognisable. submit yourself to the reckoning of the depth. abandon hope
"It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought on myself as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."
Terry Pratchett in "Jingo"
Truly hate the way "did this person do something that actually harmed someone" and "do they deserve to be unpersoned for it" are considered the same question
Quote's author and context: my best friend, 2025, south of France, sudden inspiration while biking home from a bar

I feel this has creative potential and I want to witness where it can go ^^

Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.
My first real post on Tumblr! Here’s some art I’ve recently finished, inspired by the game Gris. I’m still experimental with my art style so it was a lot of fun to use the aesthetics of the game in my own art!

Hope, kindness, and compassion are skills. You can get better at them. Some people are naturally better or worse at them and sometimes something happens that makes them hard for you and that's okay. Just like coming back to work or a sport or other activity after an injury, you can slowly work up to it.
If you don't feel like you're a kind person, but you want to be, good news! You can be! It will just take some training just like any other skill.
A lot of people lack hope and you know what that's fair. But hope isn't this ephemeral thing the universe just gives you. It takes work to build a hopeful mindset. It's a skill.
If compassion is hard for you I'll tell you that it was once hard for me and now people tell me I'm the most compassionate person they know. Because I decided I wanted to feel compassion for everyone, even the people who hurt me, and started practicing.
They're skills and they are ESSENTIAL for living a happy life. If you want to be happy you have to be kind. If you want to feel joy without a cloud hanging over your head you need hope. And if you want to hurt less, you need compassion. I know you can do it. Good luck!
Don’t let the world fool you: consistent kindness is the most quietly powerful thing.
