I'm still listening

Attempting to locate a new Greek restaraunt using my gyroscope

Remembering the time I was nearly taken out by a pomelo falling from a tree at the Botanic Gardens and missing my head by inches. Thwock, it went, as it thumped on the ground and smashed into pieces. Never leave the house, that’s my advice, there’s fruit coming at you from nowhere.

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.

taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone's identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what's under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it's knocked off and they're in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they "really" look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you're protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.

and needless to say. the mask stays on during sex.

We all got that one mutual who cares too much about a bunch real life British men who starved to death in the arctic circa 1847

Instead of doomscrolling lately I have been reading my PDFs and it turns out if you do this you learn a whole bunch of stuff. I’m afraid I must recommend it

We need to conquer space travel for the only reason that zero-g would allow for new never before seen pastries, you know how the top of the muffin is the best part? Well that is because it is exposed to air so it changes the chemistry, in normal earth gravity it is impossible to make a muffin that is all top part because it needs to be placed somewhere which would restrict air flow, however in zero g it would be possible to make a bubble out of muffin dough which gets optimal airflow and becomes an all-top part muffin... This is the dream...

Reblog if you too do not want to share outside with them.

giant redwood trees really are so cool, they just have something incredibly special going on. it's hard to describe if you haven't seen them

a certain je ne sequoia, if you will

if I was actually going to use a long word to be pompous of course it would be sesquipedalian

can't believe the only options are 30 minutes early or 10 minutes late. if only there were some other way. but what can you do
