Y'ever think about what absolute mad decadence we live in that "vanilla" means "plain"

Anytime someone says 'it's just vanilla ice cream' I have to restrain myself from saying, "ah yes, the flavor produced by the seeds of a tropical orchid, a flower which blossoms for a single day before dying, the second most expense spice in the world. Just that."

Historically, the spices I have in my cabinet are an embarrassment of riches. I have there a large container of whole black peppercorns which I grate fresh over my food. Multiple containers of cinnamon because I forgot I already had some. Ginger, cardamom, red pepper flakes, whole cloves and ground, nutmeg and turmeric. Kings and emperors have not eaten food so well spiced.

I have vanilla ice cream in my freezer (cold! frozen! when the rich would pay fortunes to send for ice from mountains to chill fruit in the summers). I am going to put on my silk robe, fix myself a bowl, and feast.

i think anne magills paintings and Edward hoppers are like .. exact opposites. hoppers has the distinct clarity to it, a sharpness in the lines and the angles that contributes to an overwhelming sense of loneliness in almost every one of his paintings. even in his paintings that dont portray isolation there is a feeling of separation

loneliness vs. aloneness

magill, on the other hand, has this haziness to her paintings that emanates a warmth even when the subjects in her paintings are alone.

both paintings feel so comforting, and even in the second one where the girl is alone she is still in the presence of the visceral world around her - there’s a familiarity in magills painting that she captures nicely.

i guess i just think it’s interesting because hopper and magill are two of my favorite artists and they paint similar scenes with very different tones -

I’ve always thought that hoppers paintings are a snapshot of urban loneliness - the distinctness of it, the use of cool colors, the stark contrast between the people and their settings - whereas magills paintings seem almost like memories - their use of haziness and blurriness is exactly how someone would remember something, indistinct, full of feeling and lacking detail

Really happy to see this at my local library

OOOOH. *happy YA librarian dance*

I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids won’t even google this stuff because they don’t want parents/siblings checking their browser history.

This is really awesome. And if you’re not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works - the numbers subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list - look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.

No matter where you are in the world, this will work.

Why Sarah Jane Adventures is a terrific TV-show

I’ve been rewatching this show for a while now, and decided to make a list of all the reasons Sarah Jane Adventures will always be a terrific TV Show, and why Sarah Jane Smith is an absolutely terrific character

Sarah Jane is an older woman, and still the main character. Elisabeth Sladen was closer to 60 at the series start, Sarah Jane at least close to 50. And she is still center stage in the show.

Sarah Jane has had a rather crappy life. Let’s be honest, shall we? She has lived most of her life already when the show begins, and it has been very far from the perfect, successful life she might have dreamed of.

The message that it is never too late to succeed, and have a good life. Before The Doctor, Sarah Jane’s life hadn’t even started yet. After The Doctor, It took Sarah Jane 40 years of not knowing what to do with her life before she figured out what she wanted to do, and before it started looking brighter again. Isn’t that a splendid message?

You don’t need a guy to always save the day. She learned that through 40 years of uneccesary pinning, and then she really take sit all on on her own.

The well-functioning intergenerational friendship between the ‘companions’ and Sarah Jane. People doesn’t have to be your own age for you to be your friends and for you to enjoy eachothers company. ❤

There is nothing wrong with being smart, or a little socially awkward. It doesn’t take away from you as a person. Shown through Luke the new-born teenager boy genious.

The honest emotions in this show. They don’t hide anything. They show how much Sarah Jane hurts every time she find The Doctor and every time something happens, there is several scenes of Rani running home to hug her parents and cry when something upsetting happens etc. They give all emotions the characters experience the space to run their course and not just be over in the blink of an eye.

Relatable Characters. I could imagaine meeting every single non-alien (with the exception of Luke and Sky) character in this show irl

The actors /actresses - they’re all fantastic at what they do, especially Elisabeth Sladen

Logic and consistency- over five seasons they manage to hold it toghther very well and even though there is a lot of aliens and ridicoules threats the solutions never feels half-finished or rushed. It always feels as though it logical based on the events of the episode.

‘Multiple parts’ or serial adventures. Just like Classic Doctor Who 90% of SJA is built up out of serials, two parts, which in my opinion leaves more room for development and fulfillment of the plot. BUT since the episodes are only 30 min/each, it still doesn’t result in too many things being left hanging.

That is all. If you have your own ideas reblog and comment it! 😁

#i watched Sarah Jane adventures as a kid before i ever watched dr who and i loved it #also the part about being friends with older/younger people is very true #its good to have a few friends of different ages you can learn a lot from them

Prince Charming vs Prince Sincere

Just like Evan Rachel Wood said "Kristoff is a prince sincere, not a prince" and it's obvious that Frozen destroyed the prince charming trope to introduce us the prince sincere trope

blooooom

it can be tempting to live your life like a prequel. to live as if you’re setting up your own story.and once you lose the weight, once you have the money, once you graduate school, once you’re in a real relationship, once, once, once. then finally, you’ll begin to live, and everything you do up until that point is some kind of half-life, some unimportant foreword you can skip. don’t do this. inhabit your life completely. sink fully into the wealth of your existence. the power to manifest is in the fearless owning of who you are, so that you can shape where you’re going.

#yes!#i once had a senior tell me don't wait to travel until you're retired #because shes not in the best health and cant enjoy it the way she wants to #i always catch myself thinking 'im settings up for my future'#but when will i decide i reached that point?#theres a balance of course but let yourself embrace the present
