My grandmother was a crossword puzzle aficionado. Found this wrapping up some of the things i got from the house; felt like a warm hand on mine at the breakfast table

A hand holds a wrinkled, half filled crossword puzzle. The person completing it used a unique spidery handwriting

Growing up as an autistic person, i never fit into any group of girls that wasn’t also neurodivergent, and they also tended to have a complicated relationship with gender and other girls. So tbh, i don’t know if i was socialised female, or more socialized alan

Happy trans day of visibility to the person that tweeted this quote, which enabled me to embrace what I was afraid of for so long.

God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: so that humanity might share in the act of creation.

Just had to DNF this book because the fatphobia was so over the top and disgusting that if i had continued i would have destroyed my phone with my mind. Truly the mind of white british men should be studied

I have been turning this over in my mind since last January. We are testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure

THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
DELIVERED BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN NOV . 19 1863
AT THE DEDICATION SERVICES ON THE BATTLE FIELD
Fourourscore and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth on this continent a new nation ,
conceived in liberty , and dedicated to the pro
position that all men are created equal . * * *
Now we are engaged in a great civil war , testing
whether that nation , or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated , can long endure . * * We are
met on a great battle-field of that war . * We
have come to dedicate a portion of that field
as a final resting place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live . * * It is
altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this . But in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate , we cannot consecrate , we cannot hal
low this ground . The brave men , living and
dead , who struggled here , have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or detract .
The world will little note , nor long remember , what
we say here , but it can never forget what they
did here . It is for us , the living , rather to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us , that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure of
devotion ; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain ; that this
nation , under God , shall have a new birth of free
dom , and that the government of the people , by the people ,
and for the people , shall not perish from the earth

I keep thinking of Invictus by William Earnest Henley when i think of my neighbors in Minnesota and Chicago.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

What a beautiful piece, a beautiful tribute. I’m broken. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Poet, I don't know if your eyes searched the sky for clouds, for blue, for stars, for God, but I know that you were an example of one of God's best instructions: Love Thy Neighbor.
Neighbor, you died a poet's death, witness and justice your final actions.
Neighbor, what did you see when you looked ahead? Not out of that final, brutal window, but when you looked into the future? Did it make you love your wife harder, hold your children closer, write warnings inside the poems? Did it make you sharpen your weapons, make sure your language was clear and your eyes focused on justice's hem? Neighbor, now that you are part of that eternal elsewhere, what do you see ahead of us?
