When they were very little, in the dry season their mother sometimes took them to see the night. She told them to look hard at that sky, as blue as in full day, that lighting of the earth as far as the eye could see. And to listen hard to the sounds in the night, the people calling, laughing, singing, and the howling of dogs haunted by death; and you had to listen to them, too, all those calls that spoke of the hell of solitude, as well as the beauty of the songs that spoke of that solitude. Children really ought to be told the things people usually hid from them–work, wars, parting, injustice, solitude, death. Yes, the hellish but inescapable side of life, children needed to be told that, too–it was like looking at the sky, the beauty of the world’s nights. The mother’s children had often asked her to explain what she meant by that. The mother had always answered her children by saying she didn’t know, that no one knew. And that you had to know that, too. Know above all else: that you knew nothing. That even when mothers told their children they knew everything, they didn’t.

guy fieri’s flagship show is all about him going to underappreciated family-owned restaurants, praising their work and bringing them nationwide positive attention and business. he openly supports lgbt people like his sister and frequently has gay chefs on his grocery games competition, including ones revolving around relationships and family. he donates all of the non-perishable food from grocery games to food banks and advocates for fighting hunger. he goes to parts of the country where natural disasters have hit and hosts big events where he cooks for and feeds the victims. he has a legitimately funny sense of humor on his shows and is generally said to be a really nice person. he loves his son and has done whole television specials about taking him along on trips having once-in-a-lifetime experiences together. he might look goofy but that man does things that nourish the SOUL and u cant put frosted spikes on THAT

I mean the whole damn point of the Nativity story is that the supposed son of God (interpret Jesus how you fucking want, of course) was born to a couple of poor, exhausted peasants in the stable for the inn, and his first bed was a feeding trough for animals. That would nowadays be like a poor couple where the mother gives birth in a parking garage behind the motel because they couldn’t find a better place and nobody else would take them in. It’s a pretty gritty setting, and the idea is that God was reborn in some of the rock-bottom lowest circumstances. The only thing majestic was all the angels and shit, and of course motherly love

I get that a lot of the art portraying Madonna and Child as fabulously wealthy europeans in splendid robes and golden light was meant to glorify God + whichever nobility was sponsoring the artist, and while of course it’s genuinely beautiful art, it just always struck me as horribly missing the point, which is that the supposed son of God started in incredibly humble circumstances, among the kind of people that everyone else looks down on

‘Massacre des Innocents’ by Leon Cogniét, 1824. Although the Feast of the Holy Innocents is in a couple of days time, this painting is still really relevant in that it portrays Mary as how She really was: a scared refugee mum, so fearful that Her son was going to be one of the Innocents killed by King Herod.

Schizophrenic people are 14 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than commit one.

“(Schizophrenic) Individuals in this sample were at least 14 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than to be arrested for one. In general, the risk associated with being in the community was higher than the risk these individuals posed to the community”

This means that neurotypicals are a much bigger threat to schizophrenic people than schizophrenic people are to neurotypicals.

You can now shove all your “psycho killer” stereotypes up your ass.

I’d really appreciate if non schizophrenic people reblogged this cause the misconception that schizophrenic people are dangerous is so widespread and I really want people to see this post so that they won’t react with fear and apprehension when they meet a schizophrenic person.
