“Atheists do not want to deny religious believers the comfort of their faith. We do want our fellow citizens to respect our deeply held conviction that the absence of an afterlife lends a greater, not a lesser, moral importance to our actions on earth.”

- Susan Jacoby, “The Blessings of Atheism” (via annaverity)

“It’s the questions we can’t answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he’ll look for his own answers.”

- Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man’s Fear (via mynameisfuckyouu)

I need more things (that mean something to me) to hang in my apartment, so I designed this quote from the book “The Wise Man’s Fear” by Patrick Rothfuss into a small poster.

Something incredible happened last night. After a fun night out Ethan and I were in line at the Mikey’s Late Night Slice Truck (surprise!) in the Short North. It was really cold so we were holding hands and standing close together laughing and joking about all the fun we’d had. The guy in front of us turns around and tells us to cut our gay shit out. I didn’t expect what happened next but almost every single person in that line made it known to him it was not ok for him to speak to us like that. Granted he was caught between two homos so John Warner and I let him know this was our city too and let him have it but the straight people who spoke up were so awesome. The best part though was as he grew more irate and vocal the guys who work the truck told him they would not serve him because he was spewing hate and that he should get out of line. As I walked away with my pizza all I could think about was THAT’S IT! Every person who spoke up to defend us including the pizza guys representing their business was doing their part to make hate a thing of the past. We must never forget to speak up and make our voices heard no matter where we find ourselves.

The boy and girl who waited.

thegr8mattsby:

Though barred from combat, women in military service do have de facto roles in combat. Tammy Duckworth, former assistant secretary of the US Department of Veterans Affairs lost her legs in combat while piloting a Black Hawk helicopter. “When I’m asked if the country is ready for women in combat, I look down at where my legs used to be and think, ‘Where do you think this happened, a bar fight?’“

Reblogging because Tammy Duckworth is really inspirational.

Why does Meet The Robinsons get no love?

It has singing frogs

And time travel

And a man is married to a hand puppet

And a tyrannosaurus rex randomly shows up halfway through but is unable to do anything because the people he was chasing run into a corner and he has little arms

And the villan is a hat

I legitimately do not understand what’s not to love about this movie
