At the far end of town where the grickle-grass grows and the wind smells slow and sour when it blows and no birds ever sing, excepting old crows is the Street of the Lifted Lorax.

What was the Lorax and why was it here and why was it lifted and taken somewhere from the far end of town where the grickle-grass grows? The old Onceler still lives there. Ask him. He knows.

reblog if you remember what it felt like to walk into blockbuster

[willowofthehearth]

If you’re reblogging this maybe also do a couple stretches. Gods know our back and shoulders could use it.

[lilisonna]

The aging of the Tumblr userbase does more for my stretching routine then anything else.

Thank you, my generational cousins. I will go and stretch now.

Incredible stuff happening. I want push notifications for every update. I hate push notifications.

God. Every chapter I’ve read recently has made me crave a cigarette. I don’t even smoke!!!

I love going into SF City Hall on business and seeing all of the couples getting married and the quinceañeras. It's just full of people celebrating!

[katereads]

The girl in the blue dress is working those stairs, but there’s a couple actively getting married at the top of the stairs, a couple kissing to the right at the top of the stairs, and the photographer at the bottom is waiting to take more photos of a wedding party you can’t see just out of frame. And that’s not the whole other wedding party I passed outside.

This was 9:30am on a Monday.

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.

The worst part of adulthood is never feeling like you are done or caught up in any meaningful way.

reminder that citizen kane will be back in theaters in the us on july 5th and july 8th

nothing says celebrating the usa like a movie about a wealthy powerful megalomaniac undone by his own inability to recapture the past!

[indouscurse]

you have to consciously unlearn racism and continue to watch for it because it will come out without realizing. because so much of society is structured around it. shrugging and going "i dont care" or "i dont know how else to say it" means you are okay with being racist and hurting other people with how much you dont give a shit about them.
