Let everything that’s been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it’s tender and pliant. But when it’s dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death’s companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.

O Lord God, up in the sky, I have a prayer for a special guy, With a beautiful voice and handsome looks, My prayer, of course, is for Garth Brooks! He's got it all, both brawn and brains, He even rocks when he's Chris Gaines, With an awesome opener, like Kane Brown, Please bring Garth Brooks to my town!! Amen. The image is like a folksy cute angel figurine and two competing watermarks say FaceBrooks and Prayer Ideas. (another prayer idea? sweet treats!)

i don't have an answer, but in case anyone else tries to look into it: the first printing of the original HC has been ruled out here.

A black linework embroidery of a woman from behind, standing in a very pathetic fighting stance (if it can even be called that). The text reads "get ready"

Embroidery of a chart labeled "states" that depicts the character's status in a video game. There are little image icons such as a bed, a heart, a smiley face, a pill, and a fork and knife. Each icon has a bar beside it that is either red, yellow, or green depending on the status.

A black linework embroidery of an electric keyboard. The text reads "now it is not necessary"

I know it’s almost impossible to say this on Bluesky without getting a strike, but if you seriously cared about peace in the Middle East, it’s Israeli leadership that you need to remove — ideally by an international legal process — while keeping the US from destabilizing it even further.
