Print it out! Give it to your physicians! Educating our doctors is one of the most important things that can be done for those with ME/CFS.
I do not know your son, my lady. But I could serve you, if you would have me. You have courage. Not battle courage, perhaps but…I don’t know…a kind of woman’s courage. And I think, when the time comes, you will not try and hold me back. Promise me that you will not hold me back from Stannis.
When the time comes, I will not hold you back.
Best scene in entire series? Maybe.
Also, GoT passes the Bechdel test.
I love that she’s older and has wrinkles but still portrayed as beautiful, desired by her husband, and powerful in her own right.
I won’t become a doctor.
Remember this:
One day you will be sick.

Poem written by an 11 year old Afghan girl This poem was recorded in a NYT magazine article about female underground poetry groups in Afghanistan. An amazing article about the ways in which women are using a traditional two line poetry form to express their resistance to male oppression, their feelings about love (considered blasphemous), and their doubts about religion. (via blua) oh my gosh (via erikawithac) Powerful. |
Someone completely awesome went manipulating some screenshots of male gear in Photoshop and left this wonderful thread behind for others to adore. Feast your eyes on When Things Get Equal.
Yeah, I’m impressed. This is awesome.
The one of the consular that looks like he’s a chippendale’s dancer (brown robe, no sleeves, no shirt) had me laughing so hard I had to step away from the computer and go WHAT IS AIR?!?!
Oh my. #SWTOR #AWESOME
A box, ancient, covered in the dust of a wrecked ship on a tiny backwater planet. What wonders does it hold?
The Twi’lek woman tossed purple lekku over her shoulder, humming to herself as she opened the box. A wedding ring. An oldfashioned set of robes and headgear that fit her perfectly, glowing with the Force and with healing power. A set of not one, but five teaching holocrons. That should be worth study once she’d found a place to settle for the night. A datapad. Hmm.
As she brushed the dust off the pad it activated, showing the last entries:

Business receipts from some Jedi Enclave? Wasn’t charoite some kind of purple stone? The lovely Twi’lek looked thoughtfully at the datapad in her hand. The ways of the Force were beautiful sometimes. These people had been part of a healing and crafting order, back in the time of the Old Republic, about 300 years after her own ship had been trapped in an anomaly.
She thanked again the mercy of the Jedi who’d found her floating helpless in space, and fed her rather than killing her for her part in the destruction of Ossus.
Now she lived, and they were long dead. Her ship had crashed near theirs for a reason. Yes. She would study these holocrons and grow strong again. Perhaps these holocrons could help her learn to put her past behind her, and start anew - this time as a Jedi.
#SWTOR - Lord Xylene and Baroness Kaalika have landed on Hoth! Expect some new postcards soon.
I was lucky to not be hit as badly by bugs this patch as some others. Looks like it was Xylene’s turn: new headband, temporarily bugged class quest. Apparently someone else logged in to find their character had gone bald. O.O
