There are things that machines will never do. They cannot possess faith - they cannot commune with God… They cannot appreciate beauty - they cannot create art. If they ever learn these things, they won’t have to destroy us. They’ll be us.

The sun was setting, and
I knew it meant the end.
No way this unblemished light
could remain, and fight
the shadows on a
salt-bare shoreline, as a
final tide rolled out.
I seemed to sense a moisture
in the air, as of tears, as
of sorrow. This one, infinitesimal
moment, a creation in its own,
charmed, somehow, and I knew it
would never be recaptured.
The world reduced to its
most miniature elements,
like the mountains will one day
become a handful
of sea-smooth pebbles:
after the soaring, only the
purest parts remain. There was
a milky whiteness to the sand,
a blinding, radiant brilliance on
the final night of red sunset,
truest possible rendering of life:
always an ending,
always a beginning,
always and ever a falling of light.
I clutched it to my breast,
one last glorious hope on the
last night, last sun falling
into a gem-red sea. I would
carry this ending day into Eternity,
short and abandoned as it might
be, a bastion of joy against
sadness, of unmitigated
hope against despair.
I will hold it evermore
safe, shattering, vulnerable
in my embrace. I will
sail on the ending tide of
the ending setting sun.
Darkness is ever but a striving toward light.

I woke up. I showered, washed my hair, and carefully shaved my underarms, legs, and genitals… avoiding any cuts…

My abuser didn’t…. (via inthedarkcornersofmymind) In which we despair for the universe… (via invisiblelad) There are so many of these horrible survey results, and everyone should know them and then tell me there’s no such thing as misogyny and rape culture.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
