"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -- Oscar Wilde This is just a collection of quotes, pictures, thoughts, things I generally find cool.

What can make the world a better place? Books. Check out this Kickstarter, The Queens Bookshop Initiative, to bring a bookstore to Queens.

Queens Bookshop Initiative

Hi all,

I know I’ve fallen a bit off the Tumblr radar in the last few years but I’ve come to make a desperate plea: help fund a bookstore in Queens, NY. My neighborhood is down to one general purpose bookstore and we are in definite need of a place to support literacy and community in the area. If you are looking for a good project to fund this month or have a soft spot for books and reading, consider donating to help fun this kickstarter:

It’s a great place to help bring back the brick and mortar bookstore, whether you live in Queens or not.

May 27: Today's been hard. Home just isn't going to be the same without this sweet girl always in your business. Miss you so much already, Bella.

May 17: Today it took a pretty mint green dress and some Sarah Kay poetry to keep me on course. Glad I have found things to keep me there. #sarahkay #hereandnow #nomatterthewreckage #ayearoftwofive

My tumblr turned 5 today. It’s practically in Kindergarten. A perfectly shaped slice of my life in college and slightly thereafter.  Time is weird, guys.

Because I love good stories with great characters. And both mirrors and windows. #Ireadya #entry

March 18: Today marks 10 years of laughter, craziness, smiles, and fun. And only occasionally wanting to throw something. 15 year old me would never believe you if you told me I'd be here at 25, but I owe it all to this guy. For making every day more interesting than the last. Love you. (You may all commence barfing now.)

I love how booklr presents pleasure reading as a dangerous lifestyle where you scream at paper, compulsively drain your bank account, throw book related tantrums and are always in pain

No, YOU'RE walking around in your apartment refusing to take off your #P4A beanie because it's warm, super comfy, and makes you feel slightly badass. But seriously, best beanie I've purchased in a long time. Love Project for Awesome.
