“We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
—Charles Bukowski (via icameasaratt)

The pristine and beautiful Arctic: Shell wants to exploit it for oil. We want it protected.
Today a Shell drill ship attempted to sail towards the Arctic to begin drilling for oil off the coast of Alaska – but it didn’t get far. Activists are blocking the departure of the ship, which is scheduled to begin drilling in treacherous Arctic waters later this year.
Drilling in this fragile ecosystem – home to the polar bear, narwhal, Arctic fox and other iconic species – is unacceptable. A spill or accident in these waters would be disastrous and the harsh conditions would make responding to such a disaster almost impossible.
Take action alongside our activists now. Demand Shell stop their plans to put the fragile Arctic and its biodiversity at risk.
I think Ashur is one of the most interesting characters in Spartacus.
Like everyone else he is forced into the world of a Gladiator and is trying to survive like everyone else, but in his own way. It seems like all he wanted was acceptance, and when he was denied that by one group, he searches for another only to be shot down because he is associated with a group that doesn’t even embrace him. He is a loner looking for a home and he is going about doing so in the only ways he knows how.
I think he is a wonderfully complex character. One that has you rolling your eyes and screaming at the tv, but wonderful. First time I watched Spartacus: Blood and Sand, I hated his guts. But after rewatching both Blood and Sand and Gods of the Arena, I’ve come to sympathize him. I am definitely excited to see what he’s up to in Vengeance. Shit will go down… Ashur style.
