(WOMEN FROM MYTHOLOGY) – BEIRA
“
Beira was a one-eyed giantess with white hair, dark blue skin, and rust-coloured teeth. She built the mountains of Scotland using a magic hammer, and Loch Ness was created when Beira transformed her negligent maid Nessa into a river, which broke loose and made the loch. Ben Nevis was her mountain throne “

She was put in the most vulnerable position, nearly naked, chained, surrounded by dangerous bounty hunters. What does she do?
Plays along, lets Jabba think he’s beaten her, and as soon as she gets her opening? She chokes him to death with the very chain he used to bind her.
Leia is an idol. Leia is a hero.

Yeah, the only Damsel in Distress in the middle trilogy was Han Solo.
The way I see it, America will eventually have the choice between forgiving student debt or facing the massive destabilization caused by an entire generation being unable to build any wealth.
By destabilization I mean that the millennial generation will eventually become aware of the fact that they will be enslaved by their student debt for most of, if not their entire lives.
Many in this generation still had parents that were able to save and contribute financially to their children’s college education, but that’s also going to be a thing of the past when everyone has their own debt burden to carry well into adulthood – meaning the problem will become unimaginably worse for the next generation.
Once people realize this, you’ve got a social powder keg unheard of since the social question poised by the industrial revolution.
The entire student loan system is little more than a scheme meant to extract every last bit of present and future wealth from society’s youngest members, and the longer it continues, the uglier its inevitable end is going to be.
and so many millennials are choosing not to get married, or have kids because of all the debts they owe.
its having much more severe consequences than people want to admit.

“There was three men come out o’ the west their fortunes for to try, and these three men made a solemn vow – John Barleycorn should die.”
(John Barleycorn, The Hare And The Moon)
In Tir na nÓg, the Land of the Living Heart, Brigid was singing. Aengus the Ever-Young, and Midir the Red-Maned, and Ogma that is called Splendour of the Sun, and the Dagda and other lords of the people of Dana drew near to listen.
Brigid sang:
“Now comes the hour foretold, a god-gift bringing.
A wonder-sight.
Is it a star new-born and splendid up springing
Out of the night?
Is it a wave from the Fountain of Beauty up flinging
Foam of delight?
Is it a glorious immortal bird that is Winging hither its flight?It is a wave, high-crested, melodious, triumphant,
Breaking in light.
It is a star, rose-hearted and joyous, a splendour
Risen from night.
It is flame from the world of the gods, and love runs before it,
A quenchless delight.Let the wave break, let the star rise, let the flame leap.
Ours, if our hearts are wise,
To take and keep.”— Ella Young, “Celtic Wonder-Tales”
Where you the person who hated into the wild because I have to read it for school and oh boy do I fucking HATE IT I wanna slam choke Chris McCandless fucking fake deep rich white boy
YES I fucking HATE that book.
Fucking fake deep clueless rich white boy who met an entirely predictable end.
Ugh! I hated that book SO MUCH. Had to read it in hs and couldn’t stand how it was billed as this beautiful adventure tale of a guy who left it all behind to ~commune with nature~. Like, motherfucker, this bratty little boy decides to go die in the woods instead of deal with life – that’s not inspiring.
Ugh, I had to read this for school almost 8 years ago and I’m still not over it.
THANK YOU
I see a lot of praise for the book and movie, most of which centers around Chris being ‘deeply unique and spiritual!!!’ and like, bitch, anyone can run away from having to deal with life and die in the woods it ain’t hard.
RIGHT?? And it’s so frustrating because there are people out there who do have a close, spiritual connection to the land and are capable of living away from human civilization for long periods of time who’s stories could be told and are far more compelling than the rich-white-boy-fucks-off-and-dies-stupidly narrative. I swear I wanted to chew my own arm off having to study this in class.
