It's worth remembering that if ghosts are real, then you already are one.
In 1,000 years you'll be dancing in churchyard rain on some shaggy hillside and you'll think of the body you once had as a strange, short phase.
Like a bad haircut.
It’s weird that Aragorn has a reputation for being a Loner™ when every time the heroes go to a new place they find out Aragorn Has Friends There. If you could theoretically have friends there, then Aragorn Has Friends There
They meet Aragorn in Bree, turns out he’s Friends with Gandalf, then makes Friends with the hobbits, then they arrive at Rivendell and what a twist he’s also Friends with the Rivendell elves! especially Arwen and Elrond! There’s an elf from Mirkwood in their fellowship who was already his Friend, but he also quickly becomes Friends with the dwarf from Ered Luin who hates that elf’s guts. Boromir of Gondor initially WANTS to hate him but within a couple weeks he’s calling Aragorn his brother. The Fellowship arrives at Lorien and oh Aragorn didn’t bring it up but he’s also Good Friends with Galadriel and Haldir and Celeborn and all them too! They travel to Rohan and Aragorn’s like “oh yeah I didn’t mention it before but I’m Friends with the people of Rohan, I knew King Theoden as a kid, and–”. He even makes Friends with his horse
Aragorn tries to befriend everyone, from a 3-foot tall hobbit who’s not yet an adult to an elf-queen-sorceress older than the moon. He doesn’t seem grim/lonely because he’s friendless, he seems grim and lonely because he has so many friends, in so many places, that he’s always missing someone
I love that Gandalf and Aragon are two sides of ‘oh it’s that guy’ coin. When Gandalf shows up everyone says it with a tone of Well What Bullshit Is Gonna Go Down Now? With Aragorn it’s Honey Look! The Feral Cat Came Back!!! Who Wants A Treat? And aragorn’s ’…I do’
kids these days with their sundials & their water clocks. when I was a boy we told time with our hunger pangs and we LIKED it

people have always just been Like This
though I still love Chronicles of Narnia the older I get and the more I learn the clearer it becomes to me why it would have driven Tolkien completely insane
The Santa part almost ruined their friendship
Tolkien: you can’t just patch random things together because you like them, everything has to fit together in a dense textural weave of reasonable causes and effects
Lewis: and then the witch from the other dimension turns the fox to stone for having a contraband tea party …
Tolkein is the nerd that complains that characters’ costumes and weapons are impractical and Lewis is the nerd that thinks the designs fuck
he sees you when you’re sleeping he knows which kinks to shame
i get so stressed when my nails start growing
sleeping under a blanket in just your underwear when it’s cold and your blanket is warm enough to make up for it is the best fucking thing
until the demon living under your bed rips it off and has full access to your body
and the demon is probably hot so she can do what she wants what’s your point
a lot more likes than reblogs on this post bc this webbed site is full of cowards that know im right
“My staff and I devised other means to occupy the troops as they awaited their discharges or next assignment. High in the Alps behind Kaprun was a beautiful ski lodge that overlooked the valley […] Snow was present the year round so the men could ski, hunt mountain goats, or if they were so inclined, they could climb the adjacent mountains in search of edelweiss. To carry edelweiss in your cap was the mark of a true alpine climber. As with most of the troops, I climbed high in the mountains and found my edelweiss. I treasure that alpine flower to this day. After four campaigns and the loss of so many comrades, it reminded me that beauty and peace could once again settle over a troubled land.”
- Beyond Band of Brothers
Buried in a family plot in an Ephrata cemetery, Winters’ grave was adorned with edelweiss, the Bavarian flower he favored from the german mountains.

Oh
How much does a box of paper weigh?
Oh …
I love how all these reblogs from ableds are like “boxes of paper are 20 pounds GOTCHA” as if every single person in a 60-person workplace needs to be able to lift a box of paper.
“What’s that, James? You tore your rotator cuff? Sorry, we have to let you go. What if the printer needed to be refilled and the other 200 people in this building were home sick? It just wouldn’t be fair.”
I deserve more intellectually challenging low-effort justifications for bigotry. Please try harder next time. 1/10.
hi! i’m a secretary with a lifelong congenital back issue that i had fixed via surgery.
the first thing i want to point out is that the box of paper that @bransrath posted is not the weight of the box. the 20 lb in that description is the paper weight, which is the amount of force a piece of paper can take before tearing. i know this because it’s described as copy paper, and copy paper is by default 20 lb weight. so posting that picture as a ‘gotcha’ in response to this post is ignorant at best and intentionally ableist at worst. in reality, that box probably weighs no more than 15 lbs.
secondly, i have never had to actually pick up one of these boxes ever. and i have to deal with them a lot, given that i’m a secretary who, prior to the pandemic, was printing off 1000+ pages of booklets per week. i’ve never had to pick these up because you can literally just open them, grab a ream of paper, and take it to the printer to load it in. there’s no fucking reason why you would need the whole box. most places, like my office, also store them on or near the ground because they’re heavy, so what i do is a just drag the boxes to their designated corner until they need to be used.
so “must be able to lift 20 lbs” is a tactic of discrimination, and there’s no excuse for it in office jobs like mine. i can’t actually lift more than 15 lbs and chances are, i’ll never be able to lift more than 20 lbs. i can still do all the duties of my secretary job, though, and it’s really easy to find work arounds for things like heavy boxes of paper. even i can, and my office literally employs 3 people including me. a weight limit is not a reason to deny someone a job.
At my job these are delivered on a dolly and we open the boxes in the spot they’re dropped and unload the paper one ream at a time. No one, not even the warehouse staff who specialize in heavy lifting, lifts these boxes…
Can confirm. To move these boxes you just kick and slide them to where they bother people the least and that’s it.
okay not sure how to approach this gently but say that, hypothetically, you own some essential oil sprays purchased from a huge department store chain. and there is a recall because they contain deadly disease causing bacteria that has confirmed deaths and has infected and killed who knows how many people because of how rare and difficult to diagnose it is in the united states:
do not throw out the bottles. do not dump the product in the toilet. do not allow the deadly bacteria into the soil, water supply, or landfills. it is an extreme biohazard. do not throw it out. do not throw it out. do not open the bottles.
put on gloves, double bag it tightly in resealable bags, put it in a cardboard box, and give it back to any of the chain's stores. disinfect everything in the room where it was used while wearing gloves. wash sheets and blankets on hot. consider using bleach.

these products are being recalled for burkholderia pseudomallei contamination, which causes melioidosis. it can infect pets.
without early treatment, melioidosis caused by the bacteria in these products has a higher than 40% mortality rate. it can easily kill you and will hurt the entire time even if you survive. treatment takes several months and involves intensive intravenous (IV) antibiotics and potentially surgery. there is a high rate of recurrence, long term injury, and disability even with survival. this is not a condition with simple diagnostics or treatment, this is not a painless condition, this is not a condition that is easily survived, and survival involves spending weeks to months in a hospital. in the best case scenario, with immediate diagnosis and treatment, mortality rate is 10%. it can cause growths on organs, septic shock, sudden paralysis, solidification of the lungs, pneumonia, sepsis, joint infection, bone infection, and so much more.
melioidosis can also remain latent for decades after bacteria exposure.
the bacteria can survive for months to years indoors, in water, in the soil, and more.
the bacteria infects people through inhalation, cuts in the skin, and ingestion. since this is an air spray, that is very bad. this is a bacteria so deadly that it and related bacteria have been used in war. do not fuck around with this
