screenshot of I Think You Should Leave’s Tim Robinson in the Darmine Doggy Door sketch, Season: 3, Ep: 2.
the quote “I thought there were monsters on the world” is the caption on the bottom, however “I thought” has been crossed out and “were” is covered up by the word “are”
So
“there are monsters on the world”

This all started because people took it upon themselves to protect the powerless from the violence of illegitimate power. That's something, that matters, and it's the kind of selfless human virtue that will see us through.

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

To the National Guard: You are not alone. If you are given an order that violates the Constitution or asks you to act unlawfully against citizens, call 877-447-4487. There is support there! The GI Rights Hotline. Don't do something you can't live with.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

GREAT GATSBY

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.
