Seriously. Why is PP admired? Outside of loyalty to his adopted nation and role, what's truly remarkable about him? Stories have ALWAYS been there, throughout The Americas. Plural. Nations. Conspiracies aside, never ending stories about just plain negativity. So, again. Outside of his role, why the admiration?

Prince Philip is the epitome of never giving up. He was a survivor. He didn’t have a home. His mother was sent away and his father was absent. He stayed with his siblings. He became who he was by himself. He had nobody to trust. He never gave up. He did all of those things but never talked about his experience whereas others could use those for their image. He has a lot of knowledge over number of things. He wrote number of books. He loved engineering. One of his favourite quote was “everything not invented by God is invented by an engineer”. I would love to have a tea with him and talk about anything.

PS: I am saying this as a citizen whose country was invaded by Philip’s father. Prince Andrew of Greece wasn’t talked in a positive way.

20 YEARS OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY 

(DECEMBER 19, 2001)

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? 

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.

What are we holding on to, Sam? 
That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Mine and other’s genuine relief and excitement at the gavle goat burning due to the observation that the previous streak of it not burning lasted through some very tough years is proof of how quickly and organically religious rituals can arise, in this essay I will…

technology related sensory memories from my childhood

  • sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
  • the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
  • ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper 
  • rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo

The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint

Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked

The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass

The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover

The sound effects in kidpix

Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands

…God, it is so weird these things aren’t around any more. Cause it’s true, the sensations are so distinct. It’s bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics.

Reading Harry Potter doesn't make you a transphobe. Reading Harry Potter doesn't make you a racist.

Just because the author is a piece of shit, doesn't mean that you are a bad person for reading their books.
