Minimum Wage Should Be Linked To The Poverty Level.

Minimum wage should be linked to the poverty level. 

You are a fantastic person. You're sweet and intelligent, and certainly no one's fool. There's no one quite like you around, which is a shame, because everything would be that much better with more people like you.

I have no idea who this is, but you are an incredibly sweet person! Thank you for your kind words, from the bottom of my heart. I only hope that someone gives you a similar sweet note, anonymous or otherwise. Praise is given so sparingly when it should be heaped.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN 50 SHADES OF GRAY OR AMERICAN SNIPER AND HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF DOING SO, REBLOG THIS

I’m following all of you

aenoria:

if i was in a fictional universe i wouldn’t be the main character i’d probably be that friend of the main character who lacks supernatural powers or special abilities but makes up for it with sarcasm and really lame one-liners

All right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need… fantasies to make life bearable.” REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They’re not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point—" MY POINT EXACTLY.

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Terry Pratchett had the unique ability to combine a sense of wonder, a touch of wit, an eye for humor, and an ear for the common man and roll it all up into amazing works of fantasy. We are all the richer for having had him among us as long as we did, and still all the poorer for losing him. 

I owe much of who I am as a roleplayer (and occasional writer) to his Discworld novels. I still have the darndest time tearing myself away from one once I start reading. Thank you for everything, Sir Terry. We’ll miss you.
