Sentinel

excellent work by marc

i'm as much of a slut for touch-hungry Obi-Wan gets cuddled by the Vode as much as the next Jedi/clone shipper, but I wish we'd stop doing it from the lense of like, 'the Jedi didn't hug him enough' (i have my doubts whether Qui-Gon did, but he was hardly the only damn Jedi in the Temple) and more as 'Palps isolated the Jedi from each other on purpose, so he's largely away from his family and surrounded by people he does care for (and is cared for by in return) but that he's cripplingly aware of his power imbalance with'

like, there's not a single instance within canon where someone goes in for a hug with him and Obi-Wan acts hesitant or unsure about accepting it, which i feel would not be the case if he'd actually not gotten that kind of support during his formative years. plus, i think people have a tendency to discount how much of that comfort would be taking place within the Force, given that Jedi are empaths.

ERICA GOLDSON: Graduation speech

The 3th

His name is Jacob Blake. He was unarmed, trying to break up a fight. He was tasered and shot 7 times while trying to get into a car. His kids were watching.

This happened on 8/23. Havent found too many posts on tumblr about it yet. Police tear gassed protestors who gathered outside the police station. I'll keep an eye out for a gofundme/petition.
