The Mad Ones
Samantha. 22. Lawrence, KS (yes, that Lawrence, though I've never the seen the Impala here but not for lack of looking...) Here you'll find lots of Mass Effect, Doctor Who, BSG, some of my own photo creations, Supernatural, and whatever else catches my fancy. Oh, and I think that women are all kinds of capable and everybody should be treated equally and well, and equally well. I just wanted to say... hello.
Graduation day, rain or shine. But hopefully shine. Let’s do this. Jayhawks 2013! (at Memorial Stadium)
people used to have to paint their own selfies
that must have taken forever! and look at this guy:
imagine how much time he had on his hands. he did it 3 times.
aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
on days like today it feels like pure, unadulterated fury flows through my veins instead of blood and I hate everything. i don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Boston. Fucking horrible.
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, “Well, I’ve had it with humanity.”
But I was wrong. I don’t know what’s going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here’s what I DO know. If it’s one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we’re lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they’re pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, “The good outnumber you, and we always will.”
This made me laugh so dang hard.
that’s almost too cruel

I had to do this once with Privateer II: The Darkening. It gained a bit when he said “I bet you didn’t play it through, I bet somebody just told you how…” and I was able to smile gently and say “God, possibly, since I wrote the game.” And plainly the Deity was with me that day, as I happened to be carrying docs from my UK agent (who’d done the deal) that showed not only that I was the writer, but the five-figure sum I had been paid. …It was a happy day for me. Not so much for him. I’d never had a referent for the word “slink” for a full grown male before. As in “slink away in utter dejection.” I smiled for at least three days without stopping. And am smiling now… I had completely forgotten about this.
Reblogging because “I beat the game” is fantastic, but “I wrote the damn thing” is even better.
Reboggling again for the fortuitous mansplainer smackdown.
About
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky." - Jack Kerouac
This quote inspires me. I love it. Other things that I like or that inspire me can be found here too.
