Bell’s Books in Palo Alto is such a beautiful old bookstore with such an incredible selection of books.

When I was a teacher there were 16 students in my two room building. Right now all I can do is picture their faces. I do not care about your guns. I care about all of the empty beds. I care about the families who sent their children to school and will never see them again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeALIZ9Iott/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For those of you who may not be aware, in Scotland there is an officially registered tartan called Pride of LGBT.

This is so cool, because tartan patterns were originally family symbols. Almost every Scottish clan has a unique one. Even my family has one. It’s like saying LGBT+ is a family, one you can belong to even if your blood family doesn’t accept you.

Um, I'mma need a kilt in this tartan like YESTERDAY.

I just want to add in here that specific tartan patterns being associated with a family or clan is a somewhat recent phenomenon. Long before that it was a matter of personal taste and an expression of social/economic status. The more colours you had in your tartan, the richer you were. Certain dyes were also difficult and expensive to obtain. You didn’t have red unless you were very wealthy and powerful, and you definitely didn’t have purple unless you were richer than god.

This is basically the fanciest, most extravagant tartan imaginable. If you went back in time to like medieval Scotland wearing this everyone would lose their minds.

one day hozier is gonna cover hallelujah and by god it’ll kill me but what a way to go

That rise, though 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gr_lSDNia/?igshid=1nafi6cd7i4z5

Damn. Look at that puffy bastard. Maybe a little over-proofed but it turned out wonderfully. I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the finished product, but this is the best rise I’ve ever gotten out of anything ever. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_grjJnDnz3/?igshid=1kbxpz6qrq34m

I just wanna crawl in here and make a big ol’ cup of tea. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bd4xvDN9r/?igshid=gn5xkxdi954a

I made the trendy internet coffee because I'm trendy and internet. It is... Very strong.

(Dalgona coffee)

Recipe:

Combine 2 tbs instant coffee, 2 tbs granulated sugar, 2 tbs boiling water in smallish bowl. Whip with an electric mixer for 2 minutes (or a whisk for 5+). Serve on a glass of either iced or warm milk. Makes 3 cups, not one crystal tumbler. 3 cups. Do not drink it all in one glass. Time will warp and tear around you if you drink it all in one glass.

8/10, would recommend.

If you make it with instant espresso instead and put it in one crystal tumbler you will break spacetime

Now I do love getting my whole ass kicked by a glass of brown liquid, but getting kicked 48 hours into the future seems a little excessive even by my low standards for personal conduct.
