Go Placidly Amid The Noise And Haste,and Remember What Peace There May Be In Silence.As Far As Possible

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Last song I listened to: Was “A Real Hero” by Electric Youth, College. It reminded me of a road trip I did with some friends during the summer and how nice that was!

Last film I watched: I’m pretty sure it was some Rosamunde Pilcher thing. Don’t come at me! Reality can be cruel and we all deserve some Happy Endings. Even if they’re badly written, lol.

Show I’m watching: Just finished the second season of “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” on Netflix one more time. I love this show with all of my heart, so I’d totally recommend watching it. Also, I started watching “Feel Good” again, which is quite good as well. And it’s gay, so

Books I’m reading: “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. For the first time, surprisingly. Haven’t seen the movies either. But I quite like it.

Seems like everyone’s already been tagged, so I’ll try to find some new peeps: @rebecca2525, @comosusbitch, @i-am-a-hog, @guibanjang, @therealmoni @minimalisticmuseum, @universe-unfolding

„Thiel ist doch unsterblich in Boerne verliebt.“

Mit diesem Satz beantwortet Axel Prahl in einem Interview 2016 die Frage, ob in Thiels Leben irgendwann noch einmal eine Frau vorkommen würde. Es ist ein Beispiel von vielen, in denen die Schauspieler:innen über die Folgen hinaus Anspielungen auf eine mögliche homosexuelle Beziehung zwischen dem Hauptkommissar Frank Thiel und dem Rechtsmediziner Karl-Friedrich Boerne machen (oder gar ihren Darstellern Jan Josef Liefers und Axel Prahl selbst).

Ein Essay, in dem ich nachvollziehe, weshalb das als Queerbaiting gewertet werden kann und warum niemandem damit geholfen ist, wenn sich zwei heterosexuelle Männer als queer darstellen.
