Nur der Flieder ist noch am blühn

there are very few ancient artifacts that make me more emotional than roman tombstones that thank the reader for stopping by and wish them well. there's simply something so sweet and gentle to me about imagining a traveler stopping along the road to read someone's final dedication and being sent away with the blessings of a thankful ghost

[ Text ID: Our little lives, so brief. But oh, the bloom. ]

being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.

[Video description: Two adult foxes and three cubs in a graveyard. The scene is bright and sunny, the ground covered in green grass, the trees in leaf, blue flowers visible blooming in the left foreground. The cubs run, play, and explore among the grass and some of the gravestones while the adults watch. The soundtrack is gentle guitar music and birdsong. /end description]

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today. 

GAOSHUN LOOKS SO CUTE UGH I LOVE THEM

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.

this video deserves at least three views per viewer, because there is no following both the belly dance and the added text at the same time while still giving either one the attention it needs for full appreciation, but watching only one or the other will miss more than half of the artistic intentions here

"men, women, and they/thems" man if only there was a word for people who dont identify exclusively as binary men or women. damn. if only

i have people commenting and saying the things they say to include everyone but theyre still dividing people into gender categories, like saying "ladies and gentleman, and (everyone else)" and its like ok, thats probably better than just saying they/thems, but maybe I'm just southern but idk why people cant say "yall" and "folks" and other words that are made to refer to a whole group without just dividing everyone by gender. maybe in a more professional or formal setting, "esteemed guests" or just "everyone". "people"? idk why we need to do this at all. like there can be funny ones but there are words specifically the purpose of referring to a group of people of mixed/unknown genders
