You ever sit there doing something with your hands, listening to a podcast or audiobook or something, and suddenly realise that’s your natural state to be. This is what you’re supposed to be doing, crafting something nice while listening to another human’s speech and thoughts. How people have done this for as long as there’s been people, from crafting arrow heads from rocks while listening to grandma tell the tale of the mammoth hunt, to having a friend read aloud from a book while you’re all fixing horse reins and doing needlework, to you sitting there doing whatever you’re doing, with youtube open on the background.

the most insane double casting i’ve heard of is ophelia and horatio being played by the same actress. the implications of that drive me crazy

#to this day my favorite performance of hamlet i’ve seen is one where there were two hamlets#one was the dutiful son and the other was his vengeful id#and they split all the lines in the play depending on which hamlet was speaking#all the soliloquies became arguments between the two and it was SO good#the second hamlet doesn’t appear until hamlet’s father appears and tells him Claudius is to blame for his death#he opens to curtains and his first line is ‘Murder?’#and the other characters can’t see that second hamlet at first - just the initial one#until slowly throughout the play the second hamlet is the one they look at and interact with#until finally the first hamlet - the dutiful prince - is the one who’s ignored#anyway it was metal as fuck holy shit#i wish i could watch it again but i have no idea if it was recorded (via rythyme)

Do you like poems?

yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem

[re-peysi]

for context these are the poems

[bunjywunjy]

also I almost forgot but the r/ambien Gives Us The Sleep post takes a completely serious third place in my favorite poems list:

[bunjywunjy]

and COMING IN HOT at NUMBER FOUR on my list, it’s Fragment 147! an accidental poem created when the original parchment containing a text by Sappho was used to stop a wine jug more than 2,000 years ago- eventually the wine dissolved most of the parchment, leaving just a few words and BOY do they prove that the Universe has a sense of irony.

there’s something so special about falling in love with nature every time you see a little detail like a fallen leaf on the ground that’s slowly turning brown... or spotting a tiny mushroom that’s sprouting from a tree... or just getting a warm feeling when you see the moon, i’m in love with the little things of life

You know I’m such a fool for you

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.

Trauma didn’t make me nice, I consciously made me nice because I don’t want anyone else to suffer like I did. Trauma didn’t make me strong, I made me strong. Don’t you dare ever tell me my trauma made me anything but scared, broken, and confused. Don’t give credit to the abusers for me being a good person. They didn’t make me good, I made myself good.

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

[bitcoitus]

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

Go Your Own Way | Fleetwood Mac

Tell me why Everything turned around

[sandovers]

here are the holy and unbreakable laws by which i live:

if we are driving and this song comes on just at we reach our destination, we drive around the block, or we sit in the parked car until it is over.

if we are about to leave a location and this song comes on, we do not leave until it is over.

if a party is about to end and this song comes on, the party has not yet ended.

a corollary: this is in fact a perfect song to end a party with and beats ‘stairway to heaven’ so badly for the title of Greatest Last Dance Song that somewhere, jimmy page is feeling ashamed of himself

one does not turn off ‘go your own way’ by the seminal california rock band fleetwood mac in any circumstances

one should not, in fact, turn off any song from the masterpiece rumours by the seminal california rock band fleetwood mac in any circumstances, but especially not ‘go your own way’

one also should not, ever, talk shit about stevie nicks, our mother of witchery, sublime fashion, and questionable decisions

one may, in certain circumstances, talk shit about lindsey buckingham
