  7. A friend gifted me "The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions" by Larry Mitchell and here are some of my favourite quotes from part 1:

    "The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolutions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win."

  15. "Every story, no matter how small, can change the world." 🌌 A beautiful reminder from The Wandering Library. This book is a lyrical meditation on memory, identity, and the power of storytelling. Grab your copy on Amazon and get ready to lose yourself in the Glass Archive. 🕯️✨ #BookQuotes #ReadingLife

  16. Another gem: “The glider project became more than an escape plan. It was hope, defiance, and a little bit of madness rolled into one.” That’s Colditz Castle in a nutshell.

  19. From #AngelsAndMan by #RafaelNicolas

    Angels can heal using water, but there are some interesting caveats. Here, a lesser angel of healing is faced with a "pre-prepubescent child with tired eyes and a deformed arm, much smaller than the other, leading to a hand seemingly melded shut and twisted awkwardly at the wrist."

    And is unable to heal him...

    > “He’s not hurt. I can only heal what’s broken.” “But he can only use one arm.”
    > “That’s not brokenness.”
    > The sister scoffed, except it was sad, frustrated, rather than mean. “He can’t do what the rest of us can.”
    > “That doesn’t make him broken.”
    > “I want him to live as easy as us.”
    > “I’m sorry,”

    Now, I found this quite interesting because it's a perspective on disability that I don't see portrayed in this sort of way very often.

    Later, this angel tries thinking through what might happen if he tried to heal someone who's pregnant. The whole idea of pregnancy is new to the angels at this point, and it was interesting how he considered "Well, it can kill them, much like a disease or injury. But is that brokenness?"

    I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts on the matter if you are willing to share given the small amount of context here.

  21. From #AngelsAfterMan by #RafaelNicolas

    > Anyone can be forgiven, according to him, according to God. For centuries, Satan had heard this sentiment and asked: why should anyone want God’s forgiveness? What made His forgiveness so special? The Lord is but a narcissist — because what good does it do to apologize to a distant God instead of those you’ve harmed? Why move to absolve yourself instead of making amends? This is pure narcissism, too, on the part of the sinner. The devil would know; he is the mother of vanity.

    I just really liked the quote. And it's spoiler free!

    With the amount of bondage in this book, I hope there's a trove of fanart in progress...

  22. > ‘To fulfill the prophecy of Revelation, you will have to sin. You may have to lie, to covet. How the angels have had to kill humans for God, you will have to commit some sin for the greater good.’

    The Greater Good!

    The cloaked council in Hot Fuzz likes to chime in whenever this phrase crosses my stream of perception.
