you’re brave and insightful and rash
no one can take that away from you
they don’t have the right
and they never will
TAURUS
you’ll exist until the bitter end
stubborn and a survivor
there is nothing in this world that can bring you down
but yourself
GEMINI
you are a storm disguised as a cloudy evening
the comedic and tragic masks of theater
in a universe where the inhabitants are boring
you are a bright light
CANCER
i’m sorry for the rupture
in your peaceful, loving home
i’m sorry for the shattering of a safe world
i’m proud that you are the only one strong enough to put it back together now
LEO
your exuberance is legendary
be aware
be alive
they cannot steal your radiance
VIRGO
a keen mind
lovely lips forming words of holy prayers to peace
you were robbed
but they cannot take your grace, my love
LIBRA
you tried your best
you are not bad for doing what it right to recover
you deserve it
you need help as much as everyone else does
SCORPIO
silent as a statue
you bear it all with stoic, strong shoulders
it is okay to cry
recovery is not weakness
SAGITTARIUS
i trust your poetry and drive
i trust your strength and capability
one day there will be a time for you to trust that too
just wait
CAPRICORN
after a lifetime of shouldering other people’s problems
know that that is a good thing
but self-care is a good thing too
and there is a peace in balance
AQUARIUS
let your sympathy go
they don’t deserve it after what they did to you
you can make yourself the priority know
i give you permission
PISCES
it is not your fault
you were not weak or stupid
you have a big heart
and I’m proud of you for it
I was there. I know what Gene Roddenberry envisioned. He went on at length about it in almost every meeting. He wasn’t about technology, he was about envisioning a world that works for everyone, with no one and nothing left out. Gene Roddenberry was one of the great Social Justice Warriors. You don’t get to claim him or his show as a shield of virtue for a cause he would have disdained.
Most of the stories we wrote were about social justice. ‘The Cloud Minders,’ ‘A Taste Of Armageddon,’ ‘Errand Of Mercy,’ ‘The Apple,’ ‘Let That Be Your Last Battlefield,’ and so many more. We did stories that were about exploring the universe not just because we could build starships, but because we wanted to know who was out there, what was our place in the universe, and what could we learn from the other races out there?
Star Trek was about social justice from day one.

Before we get started, the answer to your question actually depends on where you live.
More specifically, THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE FOR AMERICAN ENGLISH, which is very strict when it comes to putting commas and periods in and around quotation marks. British English uses rules that allow the writer to determine whether the period or comma belong with the quotation or are part of the larger sentence. (See below.)
If you want to be “safe," go with the rules for American English: if nothing else, it’s consistent and "predictable." (See what we did with the punctuations after "safe" and "predictable"?)
Cheers.
This is particularly vexing so this post us quite useful.
I’m now going to give you permanent answers to all the silly questions that you’re gonna end up asking me and ever other woman in this election over the next few months.
I need someone to gif the three white men on Shark Tank getting pissy because a woman and black man bought/believed in a black man’s product. Getting SO pissy that they walked off the set like three little cry babies because seriously…..
Tomorrow there will be a #SharkFight so big that it ends like this…
Seriously these three white men got so pissed they walked off. HOW dare the POC and Woman do a thing that is in anyway different from their godlike way of thinking? I am amazed.
I don’t know how I got here. I am not this cool in real life!
However, in honor of hitting 1500 followers I wanted to do a giveaway of some sort.
So I’m going with my bread and butter, which is fanfic. (I’m Janto321 if anyone doesn’t know)
Like, reblog, whatever. If this gets less then 50 notes I’ll pick one winner, up to 100, 2 winners, over that 3.
Winner(s) will get a 1500 or so word fanfic on a pairing of their choice (provided it’s not on the notp list). Ya’ll know me. I’ll write just about anyone with anyone and nearly anything. I’ll be happy to negotiate with the winner(s). And we’ll let this run until… March 1. I have a week off school then which should be plenty of time to fic. Must be following of course!
