Patching a pair of Jeans until it becomes the ship of Theseus dilemma
oh, i am finally old enough to know why my parents took so long to grab their coats. why they would ask us to get ready to go only to sit down for another round of coffee. what would i tell myself, at 10 years old? it’s okay. sit down with them too. take in the extra hour with your friend and her family. when you get home, write down every moment in your diary. one day you will be older and you will be waving goodbye to your best friend, and you will turn the key to start your beat up little car engine, and you will look back over your shoulder. her hair will be blowing in the wind and she will be beautiful and you will be, for a moment, struck by all of it. what you will feel is so wide and nameless that it will engulf you. and you will think of being 14 and kicking her under the table in math every time you wanted to whisper something behind the teacher’s back. you will think about how long the days felt, and how you could hold her hand whenever you wished, but you didn’t. and you will think about all of the people you could have lingered with. and you will wish, more than you have ever felt a wish, that the universe just gave you that - more time to linger. more time to say - i love you. i know i need to leave, but i don’t want to leave you. and when i go, i am leaving a piece of my heart that lingers too.
one more round of coffee. the days are so short, and you are so lovely.

Just watched Happiest Season (2020) for the first time and it has been a while since I've been this mad at the ending of a movie.
genuinely need a hundred video essays about the lighting in wake up dead man bc WOW. the lighting was a character itself.
the benoit blanc movies show really beautifully how to write a queer character whose story is not centered around their queerness. it's shown that benoit blanc is gay married (to hugh grant!) it's shown that he participates in queer mediums like musical theater and fashion, but none of those things are ever explicitly remarked on. he doesn't have a big coming out scene because he doesn't need one; and the subtle details about him not speaking to his mother, the way he associates a church with homophobia, allows us to draw conclusions about how his family felt about his queerness without making that the sole conflict in his story. the conflict in benoit blanc's story is not that he exists in the world as a gay person, it's that he's always trying to wrangle a bunch of 30 somethings into not confessing to crimes they didn't commit
thought about him a bit too hard the other day and felt physically ill. send help
Yes I will be totally normal about this and not show this to everyone I know because this is sooooooo fucking amazing
OP I want to pick your brain
Tumblr is a fate driven website. You can't find posts through the search function, you see them when you're meant to.
RITA: Well… the records gotta be in their database somewhere. What’s the screen say now? JUNO: The screen’s blank, Rita, that’s why I called you. RITA: …what? Mista Steel, did you turn the computer on? JUNO: Well, how was I supposed to know I had to do that?
Some picture of my Rita cosplay at LBM - this was so much fun. And yes, every shade of pink is carefully chosen to not match any of the others.

Side note- all the support to the creators! Take as long as a break as you need to produce content you’re proud of <3
the best way to support libraries is to use libraries. go get a card, check something out. not a big reader? they got movies. they got games. yes, like botw and fallout and let’s go eevee. they also have cds that yes, we workers know you take home and rip to your computer. we also do it.
if you have a well funded library you might even have access to maker spaces that have 3D printers. or video/audio recording equipment. libraries aren’t these tomb silent homes for books any more. they’re community spaces. they’re full of life and things.
put a middle finger up at jeffrey bezos and support your local library
did i mention we have printing services that are significantly cheaper than anywhere else? printers are evil, let us handle them for you.
Library worker here and can confirm all of these! I’m at a small-to-medium library and we offer ALL of this:
- wifi hotspots that can be checked out for weeks so you can have internet on the go or at home
- CDs, DVDs, blurays including usually multiple copies of new stuff
- A tech lab with a 3d printer, computers for graphic design and game dev focus, VR headsets, and a soundbooth for recording
- Study rooms for solo or groups
- Printers, copiers, faxes, and scanners for just about anything you need taken care of.
- Including a new printer big enough to make giant posters, maps, and business-grade ads.
- A seed library, both floral and food-related.
- A computer lab programed to erase your data and reading history so you’re never at risk while visiting sites like domestic abuse hotlines
- Laptops pre-programmed with Adobe and Office software so you don’t have to buy them
- Monthly author visits
- Ebooks including comics on tons of various platforms
- Classes for those who want to learn how to or better their computer skills
- Art you can check out to hang on your wall for as long as it’s available, including the work of local artists who get paid for their art, especially if it gets popular and we want even more of their stuff.
- Monthly papers ranging from local newspapers to multi-national magazines on just about any topic you can imagine.
- We used to offer food and drink at a loss but You Know ©
- Notaries with extensive legal knowledge including renters rights, getting you in contact with immigration protection, and contacts with pro-bono lawyers.
- A connection with all the libraries in the state, so if we don’t have something, we can have it shipped to you within a matter of days.
- Books translated into multiple languages
- A donation bin for old books/DVDs/VHSes that often turn around and get sold for two or less dollars
- A food donation site for local food banks
- A “suggest a purchase” section on our site where you can support your favorite indie writers/musicians by suggesting their work if we don’t already have it
- We’re growing butterflies this year, and in prior years we hatched chickens! \o/
- An outreach program for the elderly and disabled who hand-deliver almost everything I’ve just mentioned
That’s a huge list and again I have to stress that I work at a library that’s not considered to be very large. And one of the biggest things we get rated by is not how many books we own but by how many people use all of those services I mentioned. They exist for YOU! Use them!
Literally just Google “library near me” and poke around your county library’s website. Look at their calendar of events, see what resources they have, their digital collection. The library has so much, and if you don’t know if they offer a certain thing just ask. Fielding questions is literally our job.
petition to rename the osemanverse to “alice’s wonderland” bc it’s made by alice and it’s fucking wonderful
Once you start listening to Hadestown you are obligated to listen to it on loop as it never ends cause the ending is the beginning and vice versa
Can we just appreciate our Boy Orpheus going for“the man who is gonna marry you” as his introduction to Eurydice literal seconds after Hermes told him to “not come on too strong”.
Cause that was A Choice.
Kinda got to respect that.
But also Euridice instantly recognizing the dumb-boy-Energy around him and talking to Hermes
Pride and Prejudice is not an actual enemies to lovers story.
Or at least not in the same way as most enemies to lovers dubbed stories.
Yes Darcy and Lizzy did not like each other at the beginning but Darcy literally grows attracted to her during that first ball and starts pining after her and her “beautiful, brown eyes”before he works up the courage and proposes to her later on.
And lizzy never actually **hate** hates him. The only time she really come close to that is when she finds out he sabotaged her sisters relationship with Bingley. She has a dislike for him but more because of her wounded pride than him being an absolute prick to her.
Most popular enemies to lovers story the two main characters absolutely hate each other.
the phrase "what has hector ever done to me?" continues to haunt me
Everytime I read the sentence I wanted to start crying.
It was so bad that I started counting how many times he actually said it and if I remember correctly it was four or five times but sometimes there were sentences that absolutely implied that he said it so much in the ten years they were at Troy.
It was almost like being stabbed by a dagger every time he said it.

Everyday I fall in love with the world a little more and everyday I’m mad that that love is deemed less
