‘Just had my day brightened up. Big Caribbean army bloke in front of me on the DLR knitting. Old lady turns to him and says “I didn’t know men could knit”. He turns to her and in his best Caribbean accent says “No ma'am, the only thing men can’t do is have babies. And there’s nothing women can’t do.” ’

DLR= Docklands Light Railway, London

I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired

i aspire to great things in life

[therothwoman]

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

[nightmigrations]

actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do

[slaughtermetals]

there’s so much beauty in the world.

[saskiabennet]

I love all about this so much. :D

[jaxgarren]

Please tell me this bridge is real. I want to do this too! Heehee

One more reason being a parent feels like being a super hero. Or doing laundry. Doing laundry is JUST LIKE being a superhero.

Weird and somewhat embarrassing fact: I wrote Days of Our Lives fanfic in college (late 90s) about Carrie Brady and Mike Horton. I quit watching the show when they literally rode off on a horse together because I knew eventually, this being a soap opera, it would get taken back. Carrie + Mike 4evah! ;)

The second one is VERY important; *** being ostracized is more mentally damaging than being bullied. ***

Don’t know how many ways I can say this; being told “go away”, ignored completely when you speak, being chosen last for teams all say “you are worthless to us”

Kids think they are being nicer by not picking on someone that annoys them, and they are right. However, at least when a child is being picked on, however horribly, it means their existence has been noticed and has caused a reaction.

The cool kids hate it when the teachers pick the teams or assign students to work together in group. The ostracized kids are always relieved (of course by this point many would rather work alone after years of being rebuffed). 

We need to teach our children not only to not bully and belittle, but to also be inclusive; to respond in some sort of non-negative way to kids they would rather ignore. It’s not easy, but being told by a peer that they are worthy of positive notice could improve - and maybe even save - a life.

Psychology is fascinating, but it all seems to boil down to: Relax, look for the best in others, and be kind.

Calligraphy Stools.

 I love to see type or lettering is used as decoration, simply for its own beauty but even more so when it’s functional. I’ve previously written about Type Tables, Concept Furniture and Type Architecture, and now, another inventive blend of form and function, Calligraphy Stools.

The above works are by Beirut based designer, Iyad Naja. Most recently he produced the calligraphy stools (the top five images above) for for Dubai design week, last month. The decorative top half is created from abstracted calligraphic forms that have been sculpted into a continuous ring. These have been cast into three types of metal and interwoven with a concrete base. There’s several other script inspired pieces over on Facebook.

[jaxgarren]

So beautiful. I would totally decorate my house with these.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Benediction (via wordsnquotes)

When I was younger, Fitzgerald was my favorite author. This quote shows why.
