Feel like this guy has waited his whole life to say this. Incredibly eloquent and accurate appraisal of the failure of Western elites.

"It is not the barbarians at the gates that worry me; it is the traitors within. Those who forget their Faith, who scoff at their history, and who welcome the enemies of Christ with open arms. These are the ones who will bring down Christendom, brick by brick."

— Hilaire Belloc

[Tanya @tanyaelisabethh]

I was someone who did not want children. At all. Looking back at some of my old Facebook posts I talked about how I’ll just be the crazy dog lady (I’m allergic to cats lol), and I had accepted that faith

Not only had I accepted I looked forward to it, and I actively sought out to get a hysterectomy. I wanted to be freed of the burden I thought was my fertility. I did not want children. Luckily for me no doctor would do it.

Looking back now, I don’t think those thoughts were uniquely mine. They were the air I was breathing. For years we have been told that our fertility is a liability, that children will limit our lives, that success means postponing motherhood for as long as possible and having as few children as we can manage. When that is the message everywhere around, it’s no surprise that so many young women, just like me, start to see their own bodies as the problem.

But the truth I discovered later is simple and almost embarrassingly obvious: the very thing we are told to fear is often the greatest joy we will ever know.

Hiraeth is a Welsh word describing a deep longing for a home you can’t return to

The word has no direct English translation blending nostalgia grief and yearning into a single feeling

It appears in Welsh literature and poetry for centuries tied to the experience of exile and the ache of belonging somewhere you can no longer reach

Humans recognize it instantly because almost everyone has mourned a place a time or a version of themselves they can never quite return to

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

Petrichor is the earthy scent released when rain falls on dry soil

The word itself was coined in 1964 by two Australian scientists who blended the Greek words for stone (petra) and the fluid that flows through the veins of gods (ichor)

The smell comes from a compound called geosmin released by soil bacteria plus an oil that plants secrete during drought as a kind of survival mechanism that gets trapped in rock and dirt

Humans are wired to love it because our ancestors relied on rain to survive meaning your brain is essentially having an ancient primeval emotional reaction every time a storm rolls

[Wylfċen @wylfcen]

David Anthony’s “The Horse, the Wheel, and Language” has a stirring passage about ancestry↓ This is why you should be proud of where you came from: your face, your heart, everything you are is a mosaic of the people who became you, and the strengths that helped them survive.

[The Middle-earth Mixer @MiddleearthMixr]

The reason sacrifice appeals so deeply to men on a DNA level is because we are made in the image of the Almighty, and if God is Love, and the Author of our ability to experience love, and the ultimate form of love is laying down one’s life then it’s an inescapable innate desire in our fallen world.

But one doesnt have to experience physical death to ride out and meet this desire.

A man can die to his self every single day for Christ, for his wife, his children, and for his community.

Chris Williamson's brutal wake-up call in 46 seconds:

“Adults don't exist.”

He runs down the list:

- Steve Jobs delayed pancreatic cancer treatment for carrot juice and acupuncture.

- Mozart drowned in debt, constantly begging friends for money.

- Nietzsche caught syphilis in a brothel and sold only 300 copies of his work in his lifetime.

- Martin Luther King had affairs with over 40 women and spent his last night with two of them.

- Isaac Newton wasted 30 years on alchemy pseudoscience his heirs hid out of embarrassment.

The point lands hard:
Don't put any adult on a pedestal.
Kill your gurus.
The adults aren't going to save you — they don't even exist.

Raw, unflinching, and impossible to unhear.

Which "hero" or guru did you once idolize… until you learned the messy truth behind them?

“There is nothing wrong with being White, there is nothing wrong with being a man, there is nothing wrong with being straight.”

Modern Nutritionist: "Your average lifespan is 30. Clearly this diet doesn't work."
Paleolithic Hunter: "Fascinating. Tell me, how many infants do you include in that calculation?"
Nutritionist: "What?"
Hunter: "Half our children die before five. Sabre-tooth cats. Infections. Falls. Lowers the average rather dramatically, wouldn't you say?"
Nutritionist: "Still proves..."
Hunter: "My grandfather is 58. Eats nothing but meat. Walked 20 miles yesterday. But yes, the baby eaten by wolves really drags down our dietary success rate."
Nutritionist: "But the average..."
Hunter: "Is a trick with numbers. Five infants die, five adults live to 65. Average 30. None of us actually die at 30. Simple arithmetic, really."
Nutritionist: "That seems convenient..."
Hunter: "What's convenient is using infant mortality to condemn a diet that keeps adults thriving for six decades. Rather clever of you, actually."
Nutritionist: "Still..."
Hunter: "Show me one elder who died from eating mammoth. I'll wait."
