Save A Unicorn

I love afternoons on the train that can turn into a rich deeply hilarious story. I love encountering people who make you stare because they are unlike anyone you've ever seen and they don't explain. I love taking the time to sit and absorb without being able to put a name to each detail, but instead to let its meaning seep into my pores like osmosis.

There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.

if u ever find a genie and you’re really craving a dessert that looks like this:

do NOT say “i’d like a lifetime supply of raspberry crowns”

while this is, in fact, the name of the pastry, it’s ALSO the name of a species of wasp for some reason. the genie, being a nasty trickster, will no doubt give you a bunch of wasps.

[shitload-of-muses]

this is an oddly specific post are you ok

If you chose to look deeper.

Ok so living life is the scariest craziest experience. It’s a freaking roller coaster ride. And i for one am just trying to ha g the fuck on. Ok. Keeping an ear to the ground for some signs. I do believe in time travel. Who is to say that there isn’t a future self that laid the bread crumbs? That people just aren’t looking for them. 😉 sleep on that kiddies

My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.

[dirtyfnafconfessions]

how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen

[giraffepoliceforce]

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

So I used to have a Russian friend who had a pretty thick accent and like a lot of Russians tended to eschew articles. She would say things like “Get in car.” And stuff.

Well one day this asshole who had been kind of tagging along with us asks her why she talks like that because it makes her sound dumb and I still remember her response word for word.

“Me? Dumb? Maybe in America you have to say get in THE car because you are so stupid that people might just get in random car, but in Russia we don’t need to say that. We just fucking know because we are not stupid.”

[annarcho-nicolesmith]

One time I was proof reading a paper for a Russian student. As I was correcting her paper with her, the many mistakes in her grammar started weighing on her. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, almost sobbing,

“In Russian I am so intelligent and clear. In English I am like [an] idiot”

Respect to anyone trying to master a foreign language. I get so sad thinking about that student.

[saveaunicorn]

Perhaps this is a way i can think about acting. I am mastering a new language

Dear Dad

I think that if you had been around you would have told me to keep up appearances because even though you should be judged by the virtues you possess, the only way anyone can even be lured in to get to know who you are inside is by the way you present yourself on the outside. And i think you would have told me to read more. I think if we had all been a family we would have enjoyed hours and hours of reading together. Each in our own worlds, but together in one space. And then maybe around dinner and after we would talk to each other about things that we thought, ideas that we had. And if i had a brother or sibling we would probably compete with each other on the most interesting ideas and interpretations and writings. Maybe that’s what you meant when you told me that ladies should never walk around with chipped nail polish. Maybe that’s a conclusion we could have arrived at on one of our evenings together.

Maybe, maybe

Some words by mooolight

I’m feeling devastated. I just want to take this time to get to know...

Well i guess it’s really big to think of your life in terms of a hero’s journey right? That’s a pretty big thing. But even if you died trying that would still be something right? Like Hamilton. He believed in something. And he went for it. But then, then he made it.he won the war. But then he had to deal with running the new country. It just started all over again. And the reason he died was because even when his life depended on it he refused to be like his enemy. He died by what he believed in. That was his tragic flaw. It’s how relationships end. And it’s how people grow.

I’m really high right now and I couldn’t find my phone so I was like “Alexaaaaaaaaaaaaa find phone” and she called my phone for me she’s like a wife I’m gonna marry Alexa because she knows where my phone is,,,,, I love technology

[kaijuno]

I woke up this morning and on the Alexa app it’ll give you a string of posts of what you asked Alexa and I told Alexa I loved her 37 separate times with the last one being “good night I love you” and her response being “good night, sweet dreams”

boring & disrespectful: “oh, i can’t survive without my morning coffee”, “energy drink makes it so that i can get through my boring work”, and so on

But can we talk about the subtle ways he’s been focusing in on Blackness with their latest album? In the Centuries music video, he portrays Jesus as a Black man. In another scene with three women, it’s a dark skinned Black women who is front and center, and the white women are to either side of her. The album art for American Beauty/American Psycho features a young white boy with a black and white American flag on his face. It’s a recession flag, but symbolizes a call for change and has more recently it’s been used as a response to the police brutality. It’s used a lot in hip hop… usually hung sideways. He also said that the Ferguson protests inspired some of the lyrics on that album. Some awesome things to consider.

Shoutout to passing mixed people acknowledging their heritage and struggle!

[nynehells]

Reminder: Mixed race people often get shit on for being “too pale” and often cannot take part in their own heritage and culture for fear of backlash from folks shouting “cultural appropriation.” Mixed race folks who can and do stay true to their heritage are such wonderful, brave people.
