Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

This makes me feel like I'm bidding goodbye to Narnia 😭🥺

It's gorgeous- whoever wrote this thank you for sharing it~~ 💕✨

We skipped around the snow

And danced with the snowdragon

We snuggled around the fire

And gazed across the ocean

Of misty blue eyes

And whispered goodbyes

A little reminder that love actually is everywhere~~ <33

Thinking about how differently the west and the east profess the same thing.

Hey, I'm going to the store now. Let me know if you need anything. I love you. / I'm going out now, where's your shopping list?

No, you're amazing! You're precious, they don't know what they're talking about! I know it was mean, but but don't let it bother you, okay? Stop crying, please? / They said that? Retards. Like c'mon, have they looked at themselves in the mirror? Donkeys. Now wash your face, it's all red.

I know I was angry, and I said some awful things, but... forgive me? / Hey. Here's some peeled fruit. Stop sulking, okay?

I think that it's because the west sees love as a a form of affirmation- I love you, here these flowers are for you. I'm here for you. I see you. Stay safe- and the east sees it as a form of expression- I bought you pens because you ran out, now give me those chocolates. Come on, I'll talk to those idiots for you. You're working hard, stop it before you get stupider than you are- and I think it's beautiful.

Clouds

let us take a moment to appreciate the clouds the passages of time sheltering us from a world so loud the subjects of our gaze when we're in cheerful vain the peaceful soothers of unbearable pain

The classic experience of every Indian kid in love with nature ♡

Rainy Days

Oh, how I love rainy days. The sweet and refreshing smell of wet mud and lush trees. The calming sound of the rain drops, the frightening sounds of booming thunder. Nature looks so colourful when it's blanketed in the loving embrace of the rain. I think rain cleanses you of all your worries and troubles. Maybe not forever, but atleast for an hour. I lust for the thrill of looking out the window of your school bus and extending your palm out to feel the cold and peaceful sensation of the rain drops. Sights that warmed my heart on the rainy bus ride home : 1. A tiny dog laying on it's stomach under a truck, taking shelter for the rain and slowly drifting off to sleep. 2. A young boy wearing a plastic bag over his hair and calling out to his mother ''Mommy! Come on!!!" (Translated from Telugu to English) 3. Another dog, taking shelter under a tree and trying to...eat a leaf? It sure did make me chuckle. I can't help hope for days like these, days where I receive some inner peace
