You are tired (I think)
tinydotbig:
You are tired, (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing; And so am I. Come with me, then, And we’ll leave it far and far away— (Only you and I, understand!) You have played, (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break, and— Just tired. So am I. But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight, And knock with a rose at...

Gaiman on Copyright Piracy and the Web
neilgaiman:
“When the web started, I used to get really grumpy with people because they put my poems up. They put my stories up. They put my stuff up on the web. I had this belief, which was completely erroneous, that if people put your stuff up on the web and you didn’t tell them to take it down, you would lose your copyright, which actually, is simply not true.
And I also got very grumpy...

Dear religious leaders/practitioners
Before you call a certain group/culture/race of people evil or atheists or deserving of misfortune, please mind that it is indeed a different group/culture/race. Of people. They have feelings too. Forget feelings, they’re people too, just like you.

3. Don’t confuse...
