“I’m much happier at 53 than I was at 23.” (x)

i love you guillermo del totoro

[ID: Four gifs of Guillermo del Toro in an interview. He says, “I think the sublime confusion is from 19 to 29. You think you are late for everything, you’re a has-been, nothing is happening, there’s no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you’re 30.” /end ID]

He once gave a class in Guadalajara and said “Ustedes los jóvenes están en la edad exacta de la desesperación. Yo nunca me sentí más acabado y viejo que a los veintitantos. Decía ‘ya me pasó la vida y no hice nada’. Pero estoy aquí para decirles que no: tienen un chingo de tiempo”

Which translates to “You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I’d say ‘life has passed me by and i did nothing’. But i’m here to tell you that’s not true: you have a lot of fucking time”

a lot of pieces of media will show characters catching fireflies with just their bare hands. in some cases they will just land on the persons fingers. to gently be placed inside of a jar..

for people who live in areas who don’t have fireflies, i want you to know that is not made up or exaggerated for those scenes. fireflies are really like that. they are slow and not cautious at all. while camping i would just walk up to one flying in the air and grab it. and it would sit on my hands like “oh ok.” they are my friends.

also i think it’s funny when fireflies are portrayed as round light bulb-ish shapes. they are skinny.

also their butts are yellow even when not lit up. they’re not just all black until suddenly lighting up yellow! they always got little yellow asses!

clickbeetle

they are such friends

Thought people might appreciate this video I got of a firefly that landed on my mom’s ring and sat there flashing for about a good minute or two. They really are just like that

I've had to let a couple people know that fireflies are in fact real.

If you're one of todays lucky ten thousand, i'm happy for you. The world is a marvelous place <3

Oh, right. The cows. The cows for kudzu, the cows chosen especially to kill kudzu, kudzu's cows. Those cows?

In the 1950’s drug stores not only filled your prescription, but there was usually a food counter, ice cream and coffee. My Great Uncle Angelo worked as a soda clerk in the New York suburbs where a man named Bill would come in and flirt with him.

At a time when being gay could cause you to be arrested, Bill and Angelo, fell in love and began their lives together by renting a home in Fire Island where they could escape on weekends.

They soon built a home and life together as part of a migration of gay men from NYC that was beginning to happen. It was a quieter time, decades before Stonewall or the heyday of the "gay 70's".

As time passed, they helped to build a growing gay community there, where men were free to be, share, and discuss life. They would reminisce about the days when sharply dressed gay men went to the Bon Soir to hear a 20-something Barbra Streisand.

My great Uncles Angelo and Bill were never legally married. Bill died of cancer before he could see gay marriage legalized. But they lived together their whole lives, spending winters in Manhattan, and summers in Fire Island.

Janelle Monae coming out as non-binary is super, super important to me as a black femme and I sincerely hope that you all boost them just like you boost white trans people who come out.

Edna Mode has all the vibes of a villain but is actually good and that is why she is one of the greatest characters in any super hero movie.

“So you don’t know where he is… Would you like to find out?” The timing, the delivery, the undercurrent of smugness that she was right all along. The temptation. And that isn’t even her only great villain line!

“You know I’m retired from hero work.”

“As am I Robert, and yet here we are.”

Absolutely iconic.

Today I saw a group of goth-looking teenagers, where the one in the lead was walking and crocheting furiously, and the yarn led back a few people deep, with the one in the rear trotting behind, and yelling "wait... WAIT" while trying to unspool yarn and walk at the same time.

We also saw a bunch of boys wrestling a red radio flyer wagon out of the back of a truck and onto the asphalt, and then load their friend (who had a leg cast on) onto it so they could tow him behind and keep him with the group.

I generally don't like the phrase "The kids are alright", because it's often uttered in a way that feels like "Ah, the kids will succeed where we fucked up, and that's not fair... because it's really "the kids are doing the best they can with the shit world we're handing to them"... but also, the kids are doing some good and heartwarming things.
