i see so many posts interpreting nat’s ‘are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one goddamn second?’ line as a defensive dig at an undeserving tony and i just need to say something about this line (as someone who loves both nat and tony!)
if you don’t think tony’s ego is a bit contributor to cacw, you’re looking at the definition of ego too narrowly. in the strictest sense, tony’s cacw isn’t about his personal moral values about oversight - he’s not thinking about himself in terms of winning an argument or anything.
however, that in no way means his ego isn’t involved.

Real definition of serving the planet AND serving cunt at the same time.
I know. Somehow, I’ve always known.
Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa in The Skywalker Saga (1977 - 2019)
for those who are struggling with having and finding purpose: maybe, for now, your purpose is waking up in the morning and taking on the day ahead. maybe your purpose is continuing to live despite it all.
“People think they know you. They think they know how you’re handling a situation. But the truth is no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when you’re lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don’t know what’s going on inside your head—the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isn’t their fault. They just don’t know. And so they pretend and they say you’re doing great when you’re really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.”
— William H. Woodwell Jr.

i really like looking at google image searches for “firemen rescuing cats” or something because you get super cute pictures like
AND THEN THERE’S THIS ONE
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

Why are they actually Melissa and Desmond
Shameless self promotion, but I´m about 50k words deep into a (German, sorry to all of you British folks) story about what could have happened if Valkyrie and Skulduggery had joined Dexter´s team during TM7... the main POVs are Dexter´s, Val´s and Saracen´s and the focus is on the mission as well as on the characters´ feelings / relationships.
You have to think Bail often wondered about the other twin. And after Leia’s been kicked out of yet another boarding school and he doesn’t exactly know where she is right now (he really needs to check the news for political demonstrations to track her down - she’ll be the one next to any sort of actual flames which she may or may not be responsible for), Bail can at least take comfort that Obi-Wan’s hands are just as full as his are.
Cut scene to Luke quietly playing with a toy spaceship while miles away Obi-Wan is sipping tea in his hut of solitude.
