All Of Us Fight Hidden, Silent Battles Against Not Being Good Enough, Not Having Enough And Not Belonging

Lovely words from latin to describe nature:

Imber : a rain shower

Solis Occasum : the setting of the sun

Lux Brumalis :  the light of winter

Aurora Borealis : morning light from the north

Apricus : full of sunlight 

Crepusculum : twilight

Umbra : darkness

Geronimo Stilton was gay Thea Stilton was gay and the Thea Sisters were DEFINITELY all gay

You made it sad

when we’re not together we’re on each other’s mind

The signs aesthetics

(check your sun, moon, and rising)

Aries: bright red lipstick, combat boots, a night city lit by neon lights, wrestling with your friends, mona lisa’s smile, wondering if someone thinks about you, fairy lights, baseball bats, biting into a fresh apple, converse, doodling in class, stained glass windows, fields of daises, making snow angels

Taurus: forest fairies, strolling though an orange grove on a warm day, mossy rocks, singing into your hairbrush, wild horses, fluffy socks, fresh baked cookies, dark lipstick, orange sunsets, polaroids, soft bunnies, laughing so hard you cant breathe, placing succulents everywhere

Gemini: clouds, writing in the air with sparklers, fruit trees, stargazing with a best friend, minimalist art, carefully stepping around delicate flowers, old records, rainbows, watching people in a busy city, listening to music in the shower, iced lemonade, violets, getting lost in happy memories, typewriters

Cancer: a mediterranean breeze, peaches, holding you breath as long as you can, dangling your feet over a watery cliff, angels wings, shy smiles, fields of lavender, laughing at old photos, sunlight glistening off water, drinking tea and staring out a rainy window

Leo: diamond earrings, feeling the warmth of a bonfire, entertaining your friends and loved ones, bright early mornings, giving flowers to your favorite person, reading for hours, milkshakes, wondering how many places you’ll go, gold glitter, rollerblading, heart shaped sunglasses

Virgo: the london skyline, cheering for your friends, floral patterns, beautiful hair, riding a bike down an old brick street, finding the perfect candle, a peaceful yellow house on a hill, silk dresses flowing in the wind, watching the fog roll in off the sea, reading into the early hours of the morning, snuggling in an oversized sweater Libra: pastel smoke bombs, picking sunflowers at dawn, falling in love with the moment every time your friends laugh, tea with milk and sugar, a cat basking in the suns rays, bubble baths, freeze dried roses, holographic paint, sleeping under a skylight, the babble of a coffee shop, collecting stickers to put on your laptop Scorpio: a shadowy forest, setting off firecrackers at midnight, fluffy white cats, pink rain boots, falling asleep to the sound of a storm, wearing multiple bracelets, hiking with your buddies, knowing what people are thinking just by looking at them, a mysterious crystal ball, taking hot hour long showers, watching smoke rise Sagittarius: wandering though the woods, wishing on shooting stars, tall evergreen trees poking though heavy fog, multicolored sunsets, hugging your best friend after not seeing them for awhile, paint stained hands, an old grand piano, fishing in a creek, kicking a rock down the road as you walk, a bouquet of tulips, large windows with drawn back curtains Capricorn: sage, 80s blazers, being stuck after sitting in a leather seat for too long, roadmaps scattered around, staring in awe at someones eyes, tall gates on a graveyard, bird watching, waking up in a new city, walking through a greenhouse, the scent of old books, getting lost in your favorite music Aquarius: jelly shoes, admiring a child’s wonder, looking though a thrift shop for hours, sitting on a sidewalk watching people as they go by, knit socks, collecting plastic shopping bags, house plants, wearing odd colors of nail polish, standing on a tall building and taking a deep breath, ivy crawling up a garden wall, Pisces: daydreaming, walking though a field barefoot, closing your eyes and listening to the sound of a waterfall, clear puddles, chocolate milk, moonlight shimmering off the ocean, getting lost in a garden of flowers, a ships sails, sea foam, dandelions growing out of the sidewalk, crystals, betta fish

Mundane events for a programmer.

Chidi: Shut the Fuck up

Here’s What’s Happening In Cuba

This is a basic summary of yesterday’s events. It is important that word of what’s going on gets out and spreads because the Cuban government is tying to silence and isolate Cuba from the rest of the world. I am begging you to read and reblog this.

Yesterday, Cubans took to the streets and started to protest against the government, the Castro regime, and the current president, Miguel Diaz-Canel. Do not be fooled by the word president, Canel was not elected by the people, he was placed into power by people who were already in power. Cuba isn’t a democracy, it’s a dictatorship.

The protests started in San Antonio, and they spread to every province in Cuba. People, all kinds of people, were out there in the streets protesting against the dictatorship all day. They faced off against police officers and the military, these protestors were unarmed. These unarmed protestors were beaten and arrested right there in the street, and shots are heard to have been fired. There are videos of Cuban protestors being shot at by the police, and these are the kind of videos that the government doesn’t want you to see. A child was killed. As of right now, I know of a 13 year old child who was out there protesting, and the police murdered him right there. They don’t care who they have to hurt, they just want Cuba to be silenced. Younger children have probably also died at the hands of the police yesterday, and I wouldn’t know about it. They say that there’s a massacre happening over there right now, but I don’t know the exact number of people who’ve died.

Protestors have thrown rocks at the police, they’ve overturned police cars and dumped garbage cans on top of them. Protestors are out there, filming everything to try and get the word out, outsiders need to see what’s happening. These same people are having their phones ripped out of their hands, these same people are being dragged away by the police and being beaten and arrested right there.

Any Cuban person with any sort of influence, mainly Cuban singers, who have been seen supporting the protests have been arrested in an attempt to have the protests die out.

5 people that I know of where killed by the police in Santiago de Cuba.

Later into the night, the government shut down electricity everywhere in Cuba and most access has been cut off in an attempt to silence them from speaking out about this. As far as I know, the people continued to protest late into the night anyways.

These protests are important because Cubans have spent 62 years without nothing. There’s barely any food on the table, not enough to feed one person, much less a family. The people have been starving for 62 years. There aren’t any clothes, not nice clothes anyways, most people have been using the same clothes over and over for the last however many years because they simply can not afford to buy new clothes. There’s barely any electricity or internet access everywhere, and those who do have those privileges are now being silenced by the government. There isn’t even any medicine! So many Cubans have died because of  medical incompetency, they died because there’s no medicine. My aunt’s mother died this year because there was no medicine, because Cuban doctors didn’t have the proper tools to actually help her. Covid has been mismanaged terribly in Cuba, 6,000 cases daily, and those are the numbers that we know of, who knows how many it actually is. My aunt died in the hospital because of this. And nobody in Cuba knows much of the outside world because Cubans don’t have access to the outside world. The government controls everything in Cuba, from the press to the internet service. The only things that you can see there are the things that government wants you to see. You have no freedom of speech there. If you so much as dare to say anything bad about that government, you will be thrown in jail. They torture you in that jail. You have no freedom in Cuba. These protests are important because Cubans deserve justice. These protests are important because Cubans deserve freedom.

The world needs to see what’s happening in Cuba, do not turn a blind eye. You want to help us? This is how. Stay informed and spread information, the government wants to silence Cuba, the government doesn’t want the world to see this, so we will make the world see this. Please, stay informed.

There are the hashtags #soscuba and #cubapalacalle that you can use to spread information and stay informed. On my blog, you can use the hashtags #patria y vida and #cuba protests to see more of my posts on this. Please, spread the word in whatever way you can and do not let Cuba be silenced.

Mutals, SB this please. I’m begging you.

the mathematics students

crisp, grey mornings

the scratch of pencil on graph paper

working through complex problems just for the joy of it

baroque era piano music playing in the background

a love of patterns and puzzles

writing out your favorite proofs again and again

advanced math courses, sitting with the upperclassmen

the dusty green of an empty chalkboard

formulas scribbled on your hand in pen

going through a problem again and again until you understand it fully

carefully sketched graphs

short, bitten nails

ice cold water

hands marked with graphite

using math to take apart the world around you

doodling fractals on scratch paper

memorizing digits of pi just to show off to your friends

the moment of clarity when a problem fits together

hair clipped back out of your face

looking for fibonacci sequences in nature

watching a long and complicated equation simplify down to something short and compact

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
