girls who learned all their vocab from books and are now constantly embarrassing themselves by pronouncing words slightly wrong in conversation

It seemed appropriate

people that are dorks but also sexually attractive need to either stay away from me or get very very close to me

Finally got all the Bionicle location posters up 💕 so glad I finally got around to framing and hanging them.

I do counted cross stitch, so I think that this building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is amazing.  The creator’s name is Raquel Rodrigo, an artist, and designer from Valencia, Spain.

It looks like graffiti from a distance, but close up, you can see that it’s actually a cross-stitch pattern affixed to this Philadelphia Naval Yard property building.

Take a look at the detail here. It must’ve taken such a long time to achieve this stunning final effect. She covered it with wire mesh like a giant cross stitch canvas.

What a brilliant idea. 

According to the artist, she wanted to bring feminine art that has dressed homes around the world to the street. However, her idea was to use a cross-stitch pattern to do so instead of graffiti.

She now travels around the world, beautifying buildings and making various street art.

She prepares her detailed designs in advance. Then she unrolls them at the chosen location. Her desire is to bring a dash of color and creativity to the surrounding area. I wonder how long it holds up in the weather. I can’t even see where they attached the mesh. So pretty.

How to Train Your Dragon: Storyboard by Chris Sanders

[weaver-z]

So I found the letter that the Animorphs author and trans ally K. A. Applegate wrote after the series ended and I’m FLOORED

I mean

[frenchroasted]

You want something even crazier? Animorphs ended in May 2001.  She didn’t know what was coming, but damn if she didn’t give her readers a much needed dose of reality about the horrors of war right before we were really going to need it.

[becuzitisbitter]

If you enjoy easily-digestible sci fi, and can get your hands on the animorphs books, I really recommend it. They’re fucking great and thoughtful in a lot of ways you might not have picked up on as a kid. I’ve read the first dozen or so books over the last couple of years and they’ve literally changed the way I look at the world.

[impling]

Not to butt in since the series came along when I was in high school and thus a bit after my time, but I am a librarian and as such I am ALL ABOUT matching people to the books they need in whatever format is available.. You can download the entire series. It’s free.

Applegate’s statement on the piracy subject is quoted from an AMA here for those that have moral issues with it. for those that don’t want to click, she says: “We do not take them down. Or ask for them to be taken down. I think once the books are available to buy—paper or e—it would be nice if people who could afford it would buy. (our kids have very expensive tastes. You know: food and whatnot.) But for years they’ve been unavailable except by ‘pirated’ means. These men and women kept the series alive. They kept the books available. So no, we did NOT take these books down.”

Go forth, and read.

Oh hey. The Animorphs books just keep getting more and more relevant to our present circumstances:

i was obsessed with this series as a child, i think i’ll reread them.

Super Dad

Conclusion: human evolution has always depended in part upon some unassuming father’s ability to literally backflip his child out of the jaws of death.

this video is wild

[cybtachyon]

What gets me is the completely standard SAME SHIT DIFFERENT DAY reactions deal.

I last second yoinked my friend's five-year-old out of the way of an oncoming Chevy lift-kit of dumbassery at my sister's wedding and the reactions from my parents, my sister, the manslaughterer-to-be, and the kid's mom were just like "Huh!" *nod of approval* *back to business*.

Watch everyone else's faces in those videos, it's just like "Wow! Yep, dad stuff. Anyways Marguerite about this incoming van -"

I did get a "Oh, thanks for saving my kid from certain death" later so that was nice.

the best part of this picture, is this all those plants are there to disguise the extra floor built without permits, and the dude got away with it for like a decade.

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. It’s poetry. For reference, the blonde guy is gay.

what's the word for monogamous but only really living when you can sexually frustrate every person you meet

…I just woke up from a dream in which there was an app that notified you when nearby LARPs needed an NPC, and you could, like, go pretend to be a surly shopkeeper or whatever and get paid, like, $10 for it.

[nehirose]

damn now i want this to be an actual thing.
