positivity is cool and all but repressing negative feelings is toxic to yr mind and body. dont feel guilt for having an array of emotions. its corny to fake positivity when it isnt sincere, feeling stuff even bad stuff is nothing to be guilty over. its okay to feel bad sometimes
Now that the Scorpion Season is coming to a much needed close…
Sagittarius Ascendant: Bold, unapologetic and filled with energy. This placement is said to bring luck and good fortune but it can also be a tough position for the native since it becomes harder for them to deal with their own demons and continue to grasp on to hope. Sagittarius Rising is not afraid to express their thoughts. They will be honest with you, they will be blunt and hurtful but this is only because they care for you or they cannot keep their mouths shut. This is the placement of the guru, the teacher and contrary to popular belief, Sagittarius Risings make great leaders. There is compassion here and heart. Jupiter rules them but not because they are lucky, but because they love to have their mind expand. Jupiter gives them the power of knowledge. They appreciate learning and take it seriously. The only negatives are their know it all complex and ruthless demeanor when they are not pleased with people.
Sagittarius Sun: Known for their fun and optimistic nature, these people are naturals at making others feel comfortable. They will make you smile, sing and laugh especially in social settings. The Sun shines in the spotlight, especially when the native has an Air or Fire Rising to push them out. These people will be socially connected because everyone will fall in love with their jovial side but there is also the darkness they keep hidden. The world sees the light but it’s because Sagittarius battles the shadows inside.
Sagittarius Moon: Not afraid to live or die. They can live life recklessly and unapologetically. This is similar to an Aries Moon but more impulsive. Sagittarius here can bring the native with many highs and lows and when they are dealing with the lows they might slip onto some negative things. Make sure to look before you leap, analyze what you are processing emotionally. Do not let fear stop you because you know there is a bright light at the end of the road.
Sagittarius Mercury: Makes for great lawyers since you can embellish any tale and keep others hypnotized with your words. This Mercury can lean towards exaggeration, so it’s best to measure your words when you want to speak the “truth.” A wonderful placement for writers, you will excel easily and this is a great placement for public speaking since you have the confidence to successfully express yourself on front of many.
Sagittarius Mars: A childish Mars. Taurus gets the bad rap for being cringeworthy but Sagittarius Mars have terrible tempers. They react like toddlers when they do not get what they want and can be petty like Scorpios. This is a jokester aspect and can be entertaining to watch them until they feel attacked. However, this Mars does give the native the drive to seamlessly succeed, they just need to keep their temper in check, especially when your Mars falls in a fiery House (1st, 5th and 9th).
Sagittarius Venus: Love here is trusting, nurturing and playful. There are several stages to this person when they are in the courtship phase. Sagittarius will love you at the last stage, when they know who they are with, when they have seen the dark and have shown their partner the light. The connection has to be transcending, almost like a Pisces but in the initial stages, it will feel superficial and playful. Only a patient partner who is able to dig deep will see their true side. Patience is a virtue for those willing to understand because Sagittarius can easily slip away. At the middle stage of the romance, they will open up and when they see the worth in their partner they will hand them their heart in the end.
Dear men and boys
More of you wear nail polish cowards,,,, hnnng hot
Aliens are the least of our worries right now but listen to me. Aliens don’t want to hurt us but the government is gonna convince us they do and incite worldwide panic and start a real space war to avoid advancing technology for the general population because efficient non oil based energy that the aliens have will crush the capitalist industries that need it to thrive welcome to my ted talk
this post so confidently and sincerely made it’s point that i had to stop myself checking the news to find out if first contact had happened this morning
So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!
Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about
It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.
All my teachers ever said about Sachar was that he hated women (because one of his few female characters was a serial killer?)
