“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore.' The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.” ― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“What, what, what, WHAT!?” the actress recalls thinking. “Because it comes out of f—king nowhere. I’m flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming.” […] “I cried,” Clarke says. “And I went for a walk. I walked out of the house and took my keys and phone and walked back with blisters on my feet. I didn’t come back for five hours. I’m like, ‘How am I going to do this?’” […] “I genuinely did this, and it’s embarrassing and I’m going to admit it to you,” Clarke says. “I called my mom and—” Clarke shifts into a tearful voice to perform the conversation as she reenacts the call: “'I read the scripts and I don’t want to tell you what happens but can you just talk me off this ledge? It really messed me up.’ And then I asked my mom and brother really weird questions. They were like: ‘What are you asking us this for? What do you mean do I think Daenerys is a good person? Why are you asking us that question? Why do you care what people think of Daenerys? Are you okay?’ And I’m all: ‘I’m fine! … But is there anything Daenerys could do that would make you hate her?’” — Emilia Clarke, Entertainment Weekly

DAENERYS TARGARYEN DESERVED BETTER.

SO,

- jon being revealed as a targaryen? POINTLESS

- the night king being hyped up as the biggest threat for 8 seasons? POINTLESS

- cersei being the original mad queen and being hyped up as the biggest human threat? POINTLESS

- jaime’s character development and 8-year long redemption arc? POINTLESS

- bran becoming the three-eyed raven? POINTLESS

- jon being brought back from the dead for a higher purpose? POINTLESS

- arya leaving braavos and instead choosing her family and home? POINTLESS

- the starks going through hell for years and years waiting to be reunited? POINTLESS because they were reunited for like 5 minutes before being separated again

- daenerys overcoming all the terrible things that happened to her, bringing magic back to the world, going from nothing to becoming one of the most powerful people on earth, pledging to break the wheel, learning the moral difficulties of ruling, trying hard not to be like her father? POINTLESS

Yooooooooooo

[creativelycultivated]

Women pay more for products. Men pay more for clothing.

[respect-thetrillogy]

Do men really pay more for clothes?

[creativelycultivated]

Yea, seriously. Shirts, sneakers, jeans, socks…etc. Ask your male friends how much they pay for a pair of descent jeans. It’ll blow your mind. 

[xiki-muffin]

At least their pants have fucking pockets tho

“Men pay more for clothing.”

Are you sure?

Are you

ABSOLUTELY SURE??

BECAUSE I’M NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCED

THAT MEN HAVE IT HARDER

(Victoria’s Secret)

OH AND SHOULD I BRING UP PANTIES WHILE I’M AT IT? I am a firm believer of the “fuck you, I’ll wear briefs that don’t give me a wedgie, I don’t care if they’re not sexy” policy, but a lot of women are expected to wear panties and thongs because GASP WOMEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL AT ALL TIMES. Here’s a screenshot of some Victoria’s secret panties!

Wow. It’s almost as if there’s a pattern here.

Women are expected to buy more clothing, and literally all of it is more expensive, so fuck all of you.

The Collection

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I’m gonna say it I think deep sea animals are beautiful and incredible and very neat and I know that’s not an unpopular thought like many many people agree but I don’t at all hold the sentiment that they are terrifying and grotesque and anything else like that.

The popular jokes like “we need to leave whatever is in the ocean down there I’ll take my chances in space” are funny I love those jokes but truly

When I see a photo of one of the more supposedly horrifying fish from the deep I am mystified I am filled with wonder and even adoration an that’s all

idk they are just truly amazing.

They go down…..so deep…..they just live down there…with all of their teeth. They don’t have a care for or a thought for us or anything else up here. They’re just down there glowing and swimming and eating.

Amazing.

They’re not scary they’re just so vastly different and their existences are so vastly different from anything we can comprehend. I can’t fathom what life would be like down there.

I love them. They are animals, same as anything else. Not scary. Just incredible.

So my introduction to Deep-Sea creatures was different than most people’s in that my grandparents lived right near the Monterey Bay Aquarium and I have many fond memories of going there with them right as the MBARI deep-sea rover program was getting underway.  

For a while there, they were discovering a dozen new species per dive, and couldn’t tell people fast, loud or lovingly enough.  There were even live veiwings of the MBARI feed visible at the aquarium, along with monthly recaps of everything they’d seen in the previously unexplored Monterey canyon.  You pretty much had to make a blood sacrifice to the dark gods to get tickets, but I remember sitting in a completely packed auditorium as someone with more than one doctorate burst onto the stage to thunderous applause and shrieks of delight as though he was there to sing the national anthem at the superbowl instead of about to show us 40 new invertebretes.

So where I think a lot of people were first exposed to things like Anglerfish and marine worms via “ooh look how creepy these things are!” my first exposure to them was watching a marine biologist literally jumping up and down on stage with excitement , voice full of love and delight as he showed us, seen for the first time on camera and not dead in a net, this lovely creature:

The video we saw was silent, in which the Medusa slowly turned toward then away from the camera, elegantly corkscrewing up through the slow updraft current.  She was magnificent, graceful and absolutely wondrous.

“Isn’t she the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?”  he asked, tears in his eyes.

And to thirteen-year-old-me? Yes, yes she was.  She still is.

She’s from a very, very different world than here, and her kind are probably unfathomably ancient, and to be able to catch even the briefest of glimpses into a life so completely different than ours is such, such a privlege.

biggest hetero lie i’ve been told: fighting is a part of a healthy romantic relationship

[lilbittydragon-deactivated20241]

Disagreements are a part of every healthy relationship. Having bad days when you’re not your best self is a part of every healthy relationship. Fighting, disrespect, and insults? Those are not healthy at all.

A PSA about trucks from a truck driver

I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I don’t think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So here’s some things we wish everyone on the road knew.

- we’re not kidding about tailgating. If you’re right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA you’re there, which means we can’t anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.

- We’re not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CAN’T SEE YOU, GUYS.

- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when you’re in front of us. Don’t cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE don’t cut off a truck. If you cut me off, I’m not irritated, I’m terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DON’T CUT OFF TRUCKS.

- Before you get mad about how slow we’re going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CAN’T go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Because…

- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but it’s not worth your life.

We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.

Me, every day: Me? Romantic? Please, I’m not 12.

Me watching Pride and Prejudice (2005) mouthing along: If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings had changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love…I love… I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

[drunkenhills]

Listen. Cut your own hair. Dye it blue, then shave it off when you’re bored of it. Wear that outfit with those shoes. Paint your nails with all the colors of the rainbow. Get that tattoo. Go to the movies alone. Get coffee, then drink it at that special place you like. Mouth the words of the song you’re listening to on public transport. Put that thing on your wall. Bake. Draw. Dance in your underwear. Life is so much better when you don’t give a fuck

[larrysamericanmum-deactivated20]

Here’s a secret: this is exactly how you’ll feel when you get to your 50’s. So never fear getting old, it is very liberating. Even better: Don’t wait till you’re old, because you can never know what will happen

This is the best reply this post has gotten and I thank you for it.

The year is 2015, and you still have to explain to adult men AND women that there’s no such thing as a “tight” or “loose” vagina, because it’s a muscle that expands and contracts depending on a variety of reasons. Or that a woman does not pee out of her vagina. Or that reaching an orgasm during sexual assault does not mean the person enjoyed it. Or that abortion is not the destruction of a fetus, but is of a clump of cells. That the length of a penis has NO relevance to the ability to preform well sexually, since the average vagina is only 3-4 inches long. That pubic hair is not unsanitary or gross, it actually helps protect the sex organs against bacteria, and shaving actually increases chance of infection, abscesses and rashes. But no, we don’t need comprehensive sex ed in America, we’re doing fine!
