The section "Giving and Receiving" is about a kid with Cerebral Palsy and it is fantastic. She tells a story that will make you laugh, cry, and have faith that maybe humanity doesn't always suck. It's the most rewarding fifteen minutes you'll have all day.

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

The extensor mechanism of the fingers exhibits a complex and refined structure that I fell madly in love with. I drew it with numbers describing varying density, diameter, and tensile strength. I was dissecting today and wondering how I can improve upon this drawing. #anatomyart #sciart #bioart

(cw suicide) i probably think about this image set more than anything else i saw on tumblr a decade ago. That's Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy btw.
Hoda Kotb in a 2012 interview for NBC News, telling Dr. Johanna Olsen-Kennedy "To me, it seems ridiculous to have a [trans] kis at age 12, 13, 14 deciding whether they want to have biological children when they're 20, 30, or 40." Dr. Olson-Kennedy replying "Well, they make the decision to kill themselves at 12 and 13."

If someone asking a powerful person to show kindness to those without power offends your Christianity, your Christianity would offend Jesus.

Just remember, it is ok to be happy. It is ok to walk on bright sunny days and eat an ice cream and look out at the ocean. We cannot bear the weight of the world if we have no inner strength supporting us. Allow yourself the right to live.

Biden is doing for Trump what Trump, the sorest loser ever, refused to do for Biden--be there for his inauguration.

Because, unlike Trump, Biden has class and cares more about honoring American traditions than dishing up petty slights.
