My name is Jo; I am a twenty-something trying to learn to live a life of purpose. Or just a life, period.

― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

[small-as-a-world]

One of my best friends in high school belongs to a family of women who, on their sixteenth birthday, all receive a necklace engraved with “NTBC.” I remember the first time I asked her what it meant.

Unsurprisingly, her family is full of badass women.

Mandy Patinkin on The Late Show, December 18, 2015

[unabridged-tomes-deactivated202]

My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare for…the compassion and empathy that was never shown to you, but might one day save humanity as we know it.

Mandy not taking anymore of anyone’s shit again, ever.  <3

[deadlycatcus1-deactivated201701]

I don’t know who Mandy is but I already respect him so much

This is Mandy, my friend:

Patinkin on quitting Criminal Minds: [Explaining why he abruptly quit the series before its third season began, blindsiding its creator Jeff Davis, Patinkin says,] “I thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality…After that, I didn’t think I would get to work in television again.“”

One day Mandy Patinkin decided to stand up and be my hero, and he hasn’t stopped since.

[adulthoodisokay]

i had no idea that’s why he left Criminal Minds

[small-as-a-world]

Mandy Patinkin also attended my alma mater, The University of Kansas. WHATUP

[sarah531-deactivated20180901]

I just realised where Kylo got his name from:

Ky = sKYwalker

Lo = soLO

Ren = literally just his birth name with an R

which means that when he was choosing his super scary Dark Lord name, he just mashed up the surnames of the most positive figures in his life. poor sod can’t even evil right

[taiey]

literally a ‘what is your star wars name’ meme

[paxbe]

2nd two letters of your mother’s last name Last two letters of your father’s last name

1st three letters of your name but with an R

friendly reminder that Beauxbatons wasn’t an all girls school meaning Fleur was also a bigger badass than all the boys at her school

I LOVE THOSE

[iridiceae]

potoos look like muppets and i ove tem

[roachpatrol]

here’s a quokka it’s like someone decided to splice together a wallaby and a teddy bear they literally always look like a benevolent cartoon

i don’t think you can get more wholesome than that adorable lil seed-eating smiley face. they’re not even like dolphins, cute on the outside and evil on the inside. they’re herbivores about the size of a cat. there is nothing wrong with them. 

[spaceshipoftheseus]

The Springhaas, or “irl pikachu” as it is sometimes known, is basically a rat shaped like a bunny abruptly caught in the middle of trying to evolve into a kangaroo. This is why they tend to look startled.

[creaturesofnarrative]

This is a dik dik. They are tiny antelopes from southern and eastern Africa–seriously so smol. With teeny hooves and teeny horns and big soulful eyes. And the name is fun to say. It comes from the alarm call that the females make. They live together in monogamous pairs.

Long Eared Jerboa

The adorable mash-up of a hamster, bunny, and kangaroo. Whiskers with no end, ears that put a fennec to shame, and adorability beyond measure!

[djbhfkjejieuihesowppw-deactivat]

bringing this back on your dashes

[dharmagun]

a sichuan takin bull and his daughter

often the color of donald trump’s hair and looking like a cross between a bison and a guinea pig, the takin is actually a bloody big goat-antelope. they have splendid noses, a natural smile, and share their habitat with pandas. which should be good enough for anyone.

[givemeunicorns]

This is an okapi. They are related to giraffe, can lick their own eyeballs and kind of always look like you just asked them for a ride to the airport but look at those ears and the little striped legs ~(*^*)~

Chambered nautilus! A living fossil! I also love axolotl though.

[wrenkly]

Capybaras! They’re the largest cavy species,(cavies are animals like guinea pigs) They’re BASICALLY a giant golden retriever in the skin of  guinea pig.

MANATEES

They’re just big lumps that float around the sea. They’re non-aggressive, non-territorial herbivores that spend most of their time sleeping or eating, or they might be socializing with other manatees or investigating interesting objects.

Best of all, as of this year they are no longer endangered!!

[cometocourtyou]

Sloths! They’re adorable and dumb. Abandoned babies do better when having a stuffed toy to hug and cuddle. Some of them look like coconuts come to life, the others look like adorable helpless aliens.

While sailing in the Mediterranean sea, in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) flashed the Italian Amerigo Vespucci with light signal asking «Who are you?», the full rigged ship answered «Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy». The US ship replied «You are the most beautiful ship in the world».

[thehoneyedmoon]

Great, now I ship actual ships.

[birdrhetorics]

@annleckie is this the most radch thing or what???

[annleckie]

Pickup lines in the R2S.

[meganwhalenturner]

I just realized how terribly sad this is.  The US Navy ship can’t invite the beautiful Amerigo Vespucci over for a drink!

CV-62:  I have some orange soda … ?

AV:  LOL, no.  I’m going clubbing with the Australians.
