blue whales are the largest animal ever recorded, like you literally need to be in a helicopter to actually see one in from a perspective with zero distortion. idk i just feel pretty lucky to be alive on earth at the same time as them and they don’t even want to kill me. they just wanna use their toothbrush mouthes to filter the ocean of smol ocean bugs. they have communities and they sing to each other to communicate. work is slow im sorry happy friday whales r so cool

i blog for girls who were deeply lonely in elementary school and stayed that way

[soracities]

read this article a few days ago on deadly grief & the influence of love on death and i keep thinking about it and i really absolutely do not need this on a monday morning

[soracities]

it is the only thing love is the only ONLY thing nothing else is the point nothing

[soracities]

i know this is looking mainly at spouses etc but literally this goes for everything and EVERYONE it’s not about who you marry or have kids with or whether you marry and have kids at all because romance is so absolutely beyond this!!! its about the people whose very presence in our lives is enough to make this entire thing not just bearable but meaningful and worth it bc knowing them and seeing them and hearing them laugh or having them make you laugh or simply sitting in silence watching a film together even if its over the gd phone together is beyond enough because these are the people who make and remake the world for us into something livable into something real into something we can genuinely call love no matter what shape it takes or who it comes from and that is IT that is ALL of it always and always and always !!!

You know that Ada Limón poem where she’s like “i can’t help it i love the way men love”? my dad recently confessed to me that he became a shoemaker because they buried my grandma shoeless
