no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice
I’m 100,000% done with tumblr right now so after I drop some rando stuff in the queue I’m going to hop back off hopefully forever or something. Anyway if you know me I love you and you know where to find me xoxoxo

I saw this on Twitter and thought tumblr needed to see this.
Protect yourself and your wellbeing when you need to be protected, but make room for others to grow as much as you can
fun fact: procrastination happens to animals too. it’s a naturall thing. animal equivalents for scrolling tumblr include: - hamsters starting to wash their faces in inaproppriate situations - hyenas stopping everything and starting to dig holes in the ground. - seagulls starting to ruffle their feathers instead of doing important things this happens for two reasons: 1) an animal is in the situation where none of the standard scenarious it has are fitting, so it does the next best thing (example: hamsters were put in a vibrating bowl, they couldn’t run or attack, so in about a minute they stopped everything and started washing their faces.) 2) an animal has two conflicting instincts fighting for dominance, so the third one, usualy suppressed by them, kicks in. (example: when two hyenas meet at the border of their territories, they have an instinct to protect their own territory conflict with an instinct not to cross someone else’s. they don’t know if they need to attack or leave, so both start digging holes in the ground. example: a seagull sitting on the nest needs to protect her children, but also has to go get some food. instead a seagull settles for ruffling her feathers for two hours.) with humans it’s usually the second reason. (example: I’m tired and I want to go to sleep, but I should write an essay for tomorrow. both these things are important, so I’m procrastinating them by writing this post.) nature is beautiful. I’m gonna go to sleep now.

[My piano teacher] never seemed to judge me for my mistakes. Instead, he’d try to fix them with me: repeating a three-note phrase, differently each time, trying to get me to unlearn a hand position or habitual movement pattern that was systematically sending my fingers to wrong notes.
I had never thought about wrong notes that way. I had thought that wrong notes came from being “bad at piano” or “not practicing hard enough,” and if you practiced harder the clinkers would go away. But that’s a myth.
In fact, wrong notes always have a cause. An immediate physical cause. Just before you play a wrong note, your fingers were in a position that made that wrong note inevitable. Fixing wrong notes isn’t about “practicing harder” but about trying to unkink those systematically error-causing fingerings and hand motions….
Often, I think mistakes are more like bugs than errors. My clinkers weren’t random; they were in specific places, because I had sub-optimal fingerings in those places. A kid who gets arithmetic questions wrong usually isn’t getting them wrong at random; there’s something missing in their understanding, like not getting the difference between multiplication and addition. Working generically “harder” doesn’t fix bugs (though fixing bugs does require work).
…These days, learning disabilities are far more highly diagnosed than they used to be. And sometimes I hear the complaint about rich parents, “Suddenly if your kid’s getting B’s, you have to believe it’s a learning disability. Nobody can accept that their kid is just plain mediocre. Are there no stupid people left?” And maybe there’s something to the notion that the kid who used to be just “stupid” or “not a great student” is now often labeled “learning disabled.” But I want to complicate that a little bit.
Thing is, I’ve worked with learning disabled kids. There were kids who had trouble reading, kids who had trouble with math, kids with poor fine motor skills, ADD and autistic kids, you name it. And these were mostly pretty mild disabilities. These were the kids who, in decades past, might just have been C students, but whose anxious modern-day parents were sending them to special programs for the learning disabled.
But what we did with them was nothing especially mysterious or medical. We just focused, carefully and non-judgmentally, on improving their areas of weakness. The dyslexics got reading practice. The math-disabled got worksheets and blocks to count. Hyperactive kids were taught to ask themselves “How’s my motor running today?” and be mindful of their own energy levels and behavior. The only difference between us and a “regular” school is that when someone was struggling, we tried to figure out why she was struggling and fix the underlying problem, instead of slapping her a bad report card and leaving it at that.
And I have to wonder: is that “special education” or is it just education?
Maybe nobody’s actually stupid. Maybe the distinction between “He’s got a learning disability” and “He’s just lousy at math” is a false one. Maybe everybody should think of themselves as having learning disabilities, in the sense that our areas of weakness need to be acknowledged, investigated, paid special attention, and debugged.
“Which author would you want to bring into 2015″ is such a hard question to answer I mean you could watch Arthur Conan Doyle despair over everything Sherlock Holmes within the last century or you could present Douglas Adams with an iPad
I would quite like to unleash Dickens on the Tories.
imagine William Shakespeare in the age of social media. 24/7 supreme dick jokes and the world celebrates.

Okay but Oscar Wilde on Instagram
Give Asimov an actual real robot
Show Lovecraft a mixed-race president and watch him shit himself in fear and anger
Wake up sisters Bronte and tell them their books are required reading in schools
Raise Oscar Wilde and let him sit through a lecture during which the teacher tells the classroom that Oscar Wilde was gay and nobody flinches
Find Sappho and tell her that she’s named an entire demographic of women who love women, that we hunch over bare fragments of her poems, that millennia have passed and we still can feel the passion she wrote into them Get me Aristotle and let me pound his ‘ethics’ into dust, because no human being is born lower than any other and he has a shitload of explaining to do
Show Marquis de Sade 50 Shades of Grey.
oh god he’d probably cry
