Diff anon I’m sorry I’m going to hell but with the new pictures I mean she is ugly as fuck. I’m sorry I’m going to hell people 😂

You are entitled to your opinion. But, beauty is something subjective and relative: what is beautiful for some, may not be for others. And there is another question: she may have factors where she discards more than models. 😉

I am sustained by that which is BEAUTIFUL...

( Emma Watson )

you are beautiful even in darkness

you are beautiful even in total nothingness

you are beautiful even when you are obscured

you are beautiful especially when you think you are not

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me

The math just adds up!

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

"And I was also wondering what kind of scheduling conflict that caused him to abandon the "Frankenstein" project. He seems quite unoccupied to me."//

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but Frankenstein is currently in production and I *think* I read where filming began last month and may continue through July. It could be that Mr. Garfield's contractual obligations with We Live In Time (at the time, although now its release date has been pushed to Jan. 2025, aaargh) or with his other upcoming work(s) made for some tough choices but again, I'm speculating. He has his own reasons for whatever he does or doesn't do as do we all.

As far as his shopping companion, *shrugs.* She looks fine by me; lovely smile and by all appearances having a pleasant time as did he. People enjoying each other's company while living life; something many of us do each and every day. In a world with so much hurt and so much unhappiness, so much struggle and strife-- remembering that we only have so much time on this pale blue dot, so break bread together and celebrate. Or as one of my favorite authors once wrote: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Sorry dear, I will not deny that I was frustrated with this withdrawal, mainly because I know that he greatly appreciates the work of Guillermo del Toro. But I can only conjecture why.

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." I would very much like it to always be like this, and for people to understand this. But this is just the desire of an idealist.

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

when we’re done with our overwhelming grief we’ll eat i guess
