my summer plans consist of unclenching my jaw + forgiving myself

[shiropoint]

This is mesmerizing to watch.

[fuu-dog-treats]

actually physically painful to watch because you know months were spent masking all those frames for each of the kajillions of transitions in this

“I’m getting real tired of people only coming to me when they need help. I’m tired of the same people ignoring me when I need help. I’m tired of being used.”

“You remember too much,
 my mother said to me recently.
 Why hold onto all that? And I said,
 Where do I put it down?”

— Anne Carson, from “The Glass Essay” (via vrban)

why don't you agitate the contents of a barrel full of cream for a while then reach your hand inside and maybe you'll feel butter

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.

reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.

[roach-works]

i am looking into your eyes, i am holding your hand. i absolutely promise.

if you can just live long enough, your soul will build your body into a home. you will live there and you will find a way to be at peace. it’s worth the time and it’s worth the work. i promise.

The best part of this: 

“Should I risk my life?”

Then, Slavically, “Yeah, I will do it for you.”

[remember-you-are-needed]

I hope she knows how much we all adore her

[lemonsharks]

Who is this woman I must tell her that she has restored my awe for physics at the (my) age of 35 years in the span of one 2 minute video

[kadharonon]

Her name is Tatiana Erukhimova, and she works for Texas A&M University.

Funnily enough Georg/George is distinctly not a Slavic name. It's Germanic — Slavic languages use Yuri/Jerry.

Spiders Yuri gives a very different vibe tho.

[clickbeetle]

“spiders yuri” her name is vriska serket

[computationalcalculator]

Spiders George: "It's the spiders."

Spiders Jerry: "The spiders?"

Spiders George: "They're making me eat spiders, Jerry!"

Spiders Jerry: "Well, what kind of spiders?"

Spiders George: "All kinds! Small ones, big ones, thousands of them a day!"

Spiders Jerry: "Where do they even get that many spiders?"

Spiders George: "How am I supposed to know? I'm just the guy they got eating them!"

Spiders Jerry: "I don't know, maybe it wouldn't be that bad."

Spiders George: "Oh, you don't think so, huh?"

Spiders Jerry: "Well sure, I mean at first you hate it, but maybe you'd get used to it. You know some people eat crickets for protein now?"

Spiders George: "Who cares, crickets are bugs."

Spiders Jerry: "Spiders are bugs."

Spiders George: "Spiders are arachnids, Jerry! They've got me eating arachnids!"

Spiders Jerry: "Well, so what if they're arachnids?"

Spiders George: "Ohh, arachnids are a whole 'nother ballgame!"

[Spiders Kramer enters, applause]

Spiders Kramer: "Hey."

Spiders Jerry: "Hey."

Spiders Kramer: "What's with him?"

Spiders Jerry: "Bad day at work. What's with you?"

Spiders Kramer: "Guess whose underground tarantula mill is finally turning a profit!"
