I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth
Or, as my dad put it,
Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?
Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?
I WOULD APOLOGIZE, BUT I AM NOT SORRY. LIKE… AT ALL.
THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE FUCKING THING EVER. YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA.
This is a public service announcement. The Asgardian Library Association has noticed a lack of reading among the citizens of Asgard, followed by a push for more people to become warriors. The Library Association urges citizens to take the time to read a good book or two or twenty, and says that excuses like “learning is for women” are invalid. Reading, they say, is for EVERYONE. That includes you, Thor. Read. Your. Books. Or. Else.
The Asgardian Library Association would like to add that the Sorcery section is off limits, and that books about magic are banned from everyone except for very few people. This comes after the Loki incident. You know the one.
I thought this was one of the actual American Library Association posters at first, and wondered why I had never seen it before.
