galatea, the beloved (asteroid 74)

Once upon a time, Polyphemus, the Cyclops from the journey of Odysseus, fell in love. Galatea was a lovely Nereid who was in love with Acis (whose story I previously told). Polyphemus learned of this when he saw the two together thusly crushed Acis with a boulder and breaking the heart of Galatea. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) the types of lovers you attract, b) how those that love you tend to become jealous, and/or c) the terrible things that happen to those you love.

In another version, a sculptor named Pygmalion makes an ivory statue showcasing what he believes to be the ideal of womanhood and names it Galatea. He becomes so enamored by Galatea that he falls in love with her. Venus was enchanted by this and brought the statue of Galatea to life in answer to Pygmalion's prayers. The two then had a child named Paphos together. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) beauty/attractiveness, b) what makes you someone's ideal, c) who you can enchant with you looks, d) where your love story attracts a lot of attention, and/or e) where people tend to be extremely hopeful of having you in their lives.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of galatea along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of galatea AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede galatea!

I download AO3 fics occasionally, mainly DRRR ones. But since Apple Book default covers are downright hideous, I took matters into my own hands.

Truthfully it isn’t any better than the default, but it is an excuse to draw Izaya.

anyone else see that gnome run by......

En büyük acı olmayacağını bile bile hayal kurmak. Evet belki olmayacak, belki imkansız bilmiyorum ama çok iyi biliyorum ki gerçek dünyadaki acılardan iyidir...

Civil Engineering

As a survey tech/engineering tech in utility companies, highway departments, energy sector work, and construction I have seen the beautiful and marvelous things we can create to better society. I'm writing after reading more and more about the extensive and sophisticated tunneling that has been engineered under Gaza by Hamas. I'm writing to ask if the American Society of Civil Engineers would publicly denounce this perversion of the trade. As someone who takes enormous pride in the capacity to engineer systems to improve life I'd like to see ASCE and sibling organizations publish statements calling out the gross misuse of civil engineering in order to disrupt, terrorize and harm society by Hamas. Engineering and resources that could have helped make Gaza a healthier, more livable place, less conducive to extremist ideologies and doom. Engineering that could have laid water and sewer lines, gas pipes and electrical connections, better roads and walkways. Engineering that would have uplifted the masses of people now displaced or killed in fighting that didn't have to happen.

ASCE code of Ethics, Preamble:

Engineers govern their professional careers on the following fundamental principles:

+ create safe, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure;

+ treat all persons with respect, dignity, and fairness in a manner that fosters equitable participation without regard to personal identity;

+consider the current and anticipated needs of society; and

+ utilize their knowledge and skills to enhance the quality of life for humanity.

it is magolor day my dudes

ertelenen bir arama, geç kalınan af dileyişler, geç gelen farkındalıklar, anın güzelliğini kaçırmalar, içinden geleni söyleyemeyişler insanın omzunda bir yük olarak duruyor.o yüzden içinizden geleni yapın; taktiksiz, tertemiz ve içten. kazanıp kaybetmenin bir önemi yok, ölüm var.

this is so self indulgent dont even worry about it bros

Bütün vücudunu santimetre karelere ayırıp birer birer öpmeliyim. Ve sonra sımsıkı sarılmalıyım sana.Böylece ölmeyiz. Aradan yıllar geçip bizi buldukları zaman etlerimiz çürümüş olsa da kemiklerimiz ayrılmamalı birbirinden. Hadi gel. Nefes almak hüner değil seninle ölmek istiyorum.

Benim kaderimde senin ile olmak yokmuş.
