“A Republic, If You Can Keep It.“

oh so some people can just listen to a song and understand the lyrics

what if you’re all lying

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

I think I followed an ai cookie recipe 😭 halfway through I realized it didn’t make much sense, but I was already deep into it so I just kept doing. They’re in the oven now and I think they’re not gonna be good 😞 it included vanilla extract in the ingredient list but then never said when to integrate it. That was my first clue that it was off. Then I looked at how much flour it called for and brothers it is not a lot, and that’s the problem. They’re so runny. It’s like brownie batter instead. I added some more flour to the remaining batter that didn’t fit on the first pan after I saw that they are running like crazy

They don’t even taste good!

I’m mad because I wanted to make cookies using Mexican hot chocolate mix. I’ve done it before, but I couldn’t find the recipe I used before. So I found this ai garbage instead and I’ll never find that recipe again and I’m mad. I’m going to try a different one but I know that it’s not the one I used before. I can’t find it >:(

This is really sweet, thank you so much :’)

the dancing scene in Tangled always gets to me because like... the king and queen are grieving, this is the hardest day for them, they don't take part in the celebration other than lighting the first lantern. but she's right there she's in the town the person you miss she's in the town she's painting the streets she's singing she's playing with the children. the person you're grieving is here and she's alive and she's dancing outside your window

In 21st century America, there was a pervasive superstition that rats could force people to do their bidding simply by grabbing ahold of their hair. It was often common courtesy to remove your hat, either as a greeting or when entering another's homes, to show them that you are not being possessed by a rat, and can be trusted to behave.

reblog this and put in the tags at least two (2) songs you are listening to on repeat right now

The phrase "They don't want it perfect, they want it Friday" does wonders for my productivity.

it’s just hard not to think about the fact that in 1915, JRR Tolkien went to war not with but certainly in the same army and many of the same battles as his 3 best school friends, all nicely upper class young men who had never known much loss, and only he and one other came back alive - and a couple decades later, he wrote a book in which 3 nicely upper class young men (and one very excellent gardener) who have never known much loss go to war together, or at least they start out together, and they all come home alive. (Though one cannot bear it, and does not stay.)

Everything with you is an adventure.

I love Doris and she is so cute but also she looks so much like Teddy Roosevelt sometimes that I can't help but laugh

This really freaking annoys me. If you’re in charge of a movie franchise then it is your job to embrace every character, to help them grow and overcome their differences. But no, NO! These asshats kill off every single character that they hate and are acting like complete babies just because they don’t like them. If you don’t like them so much then fuck off! Go and work on something else! Just stop ruining the MCU!!!

this is so funny tho

Oh they hated everyone that explains why the movies are like that

No wonder the mcu feels like a slightly better Michael bay franchise

On the bright side, knowing the directors actively hated half the characters they were working with leaves me feeling 0% hesitant to ignore every single bullshit character move they made! 😜

That explains why, despite my incredible geekiness, I’ve been meh about seeing these movies. The contempt showed.

I’m not even a fan of the mcu but I’m fucking livid right now
