Somehow this video captures the scale of whales better than any other video or photo I have ever seen.

This is wonderfully helpful.

There’s also Sam: “It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.”

What are we holding onto Sam?

There’s good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for

Y’all don’t want that pretty girl to stomp on you, you want a long and drawn out sword fight with flirty banter. Quit saying you want her to hit you with a truck, you want her to do The Thing where she gently lifts your chin with her sword while your heart pounds out of your chest and at the end when she has you pinned against the wall with her blade to your throat, you want a heartrending confession with hissed declarations of your undying affection and for her to finally throw her weapon to the side and pull you into a passionate yet tender kiss. Stop lying.
