notes from the middle
Yes! People who pride themselves on being shameless norm-breakers often depend the most on norms… or, on all the other people nearby being too stunned or norm-compliant to resist.

You have to be as defiant and brazen as they are, but in defense of decency. You can be pleasant but you don’t budge.

A lot of people have helped me out or I wouldn’t have any to give, I owe it forward for real

Oh, ok! I was literally about to hit send in PayPal. Ok well I’ll save it but only so I can send it to you or someone else later. Wishing you well. ♥️

I’ll do this and you don’t have to pay me back

Thanks for posting this. It’s a beautiful photo. The bird, the colors, the composition! It was good to see it here on a hard day.

Grew up with horses and I’ve wondered about this too. Was it just loads and loads of conditioning? Were war horses in freeze mode their whole lives?

Truthfully, some of the girls I knew from school at nine — that’s the fourth grade — had more sense and dignity than this

I love this, thank you for sharing it. It’s hard and true and can be hard to figure out — that you have to learn to rest and get up again, again and again sometimes, because giving up just isn’t an option.

John, if there’s anybody who can ever reach those guys it might be you. The guy who held a different line but stayed in touch.

I think about this every time I hear someone say “God is in control.” I hear it a lot.

He does look like he has a message :)

Omg I’m sorry. Would not surprise me if this feels like a violation in multiple, layered ways. (Not to mention being just plain shitty.) I am wishing you all possible support.

This is inspired!

This is a graphic design team teetering on the edge, period. They have my sympathies. 😫

I love this, the underpainting gives it so much warmth and life. Agree with the commenter above that the composition is lovely too!
