Y'know what I really fuckin hate?

Tiny houses.

Not the concept, the notion, the Platonic ideal of a low-cost low-impact high-efficiency dwelling. That’s great. That’s awesome.

What really imagines my dragons is that in practice about 9 times out of 10 tiny house communities are just a way for rich hipsters to finally fulfil their greatest fantasy:

They found a way to fucking gentrify the trailer park

listen i know you’re making a point here but i cant stop thinking about ‘imagines my dragons’

Why does “falling in love” have pretty much exclusively romantic connotations it’s such a good phrase. I’ve fallen in love with every single one of my friends

[puddleorganism]

This was such a smart post to make because every day I get to see people declaring their love for their friends in the tags. Such a simple but sweet “restoring faith in humanity” kind of thing. We’re all just little creatures who love our buddies <3

[puddleorganism]

Alright so this post has gotten over 5,000 notes in a month and I think that means the consensus is that everyone loves their friends and you should tell them

Listening to Pride and Prejudice again (Kate Reading my beloved) and I was just thinking how stoked Wickham must have been to find out that Darcy - who he was probably hoping never to be in company with ever again and who could destroy his reputation in minutes - has made himself so completely disagreeable that everyone in this new community (dear Jane excepted of course) despises him.

Had Darcy been more civil, had he made a little more effort to please, had he even merely mixed in Meryton society enough to make his general views, opinions and morals known, Wickham's stories would never have been so easily believed. But all of Meryton is absolutely overjoyed to have their dislike for Mr Darcy validated, and all he has to do is sigh tragically and look brave and they all start doing his work for him.

When she finds out the truth, Elizabeth blames herself for the vanity that made her believe Wickham's story, because he flattered her while Darcy slighted her, and she is right to do so. But if Darcy had not presumed that his good character and conduct must be self-evident wherever he went, and his superiority acknowledged even in places where he and his family (and the undeniable good they did and do) are completely unknown, Wickham would never have been able to twist the truth against him so severely. And if he had bothered to make himself even decently agreeable in Meryton, Wickham very likely would not even have dared to spread his lies as far as he did.

and the bar was so low for Darcy. They wanted to like him.

New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream

[thepeelingrenoir]

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

[thepeelingrenoir]

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.
