I’m really thankful for all the people out there who draw Goku plowing Vegeta… it’s been decades but people are still out there, drawing Goku and Vegeta having sex with each other, and it really makes me believe in love

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly NOW. Love mercy NOW. Walk humbly NOW. You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it.

From the Talmud

Pirkei Avos (Ethics/Chapters of the Fathers) 2:16 

(via arubasmusings)

That last bit –

Lo Alecha haM’lacha Ligmor, veLo Atah Ben-Chorin leHivatel Memenah / לֹא עָלֶיךָ הַמְּלָאכָה לִגְמוֹר, וְלֹא אַתָּה בֶן חוֹרִין לִבָּטֵל מִמֶּנָּה / It is not your duty to complete the task, but nor it is your freedom to withdraw from it

– is something which is not shared nearly enough, something which is not repeated nearly enough, something with is not SHOUTED FROM THE FREAKING ROOFTOPS nearly enough.

I think if I had to describe Jewish ethics, I would start with this quote.

This is one of my favorite pages from my upcoming book, The Shape of Ideas. I drew it as a student searching for a balance between

my passion for cartooning, my personal life, and my chosen career of dentistry. Four years later, I have rewarding work as an orthodontist, a young family, and I’m celebrating the publication of my first book. 

I’ve come to believe that the answer to the final panel is YES.

i know i’ve made a post exactly like this before but that trope of a vampire or faerie or anything “other” watching a human from afar and “choosing” them is STILL so wild and uncomfortable to me bc if you watch someone from afar like that you’re gonna form such a romantic image of them in your head that’s actually barely what they’re like 90% of the time but now what the hell are you gonna do you just turned them into a vampire/brought them over to the faerie realm for eternity you’re STUCK with them and THEY’RE stuck with your impulsive naive romantic ass like

if a vampire watched me from afar they’re gonna catch me smelling wild flowers, talking to crows, and walking barefoot through creeks but they never see me inside and now they’re stuck, listening to me complain about the Naruto epilogue again. Again. They’re so tired. “Molly Anne,” they say. “Molly Anne please. It’s been two-hundred years.” I keep going. The betrayal still feels fresh.
