Y'know what, why not start the story at the beginning. So Eru Illuvatar-

Cold take but all languages are beautiful actually. Every single one. Every single human language on earth is a collection of stories interwoven into the very fabric of the words that are spoken.

“Oh but this language sounds scary-“ have you heard a child speak it while pointing at a butterfly?

“Oh but this language sounds silly-“ have you heard someone’s grandma recite a recipe with such practiced ease it comes off as poetry?

“Oh but this language is really weird-“ and yours isn’t? Everyone’s language is weird, dumbass, it came free with your fucking humanity.

Every tongue that is spoken is a work of art. Every language a unique window into the world.

Isn’t it wonderful?

Cats getting caught doing crimes

[flipocrite]

it takes quite a bit of social intelligence for a creature to understand:

I know what I am doing is wrong

I know there is an activity that looks similar that is not wrong

If I am quick I can plausibly pass one off as the other

[gingerhastoomanyobsessions]

these cats are displaying remarkable theory of mind skills by not only registering that the humans can perceive them but actively trying to manipulate that perception! that requires one to be aware that other individuals have complicated interior thoughts of their own, to know that those thoughts are not always based on truth, and to quickly decide on the best possible “lie” for the situation. this is why I despise animal intelligence tasks based on obedience— some of the most clever moments stem from intelligent disobedience.

tip: if you wake up on time and then lie in bed unmoving for 20 minutes you will no longer be on time

[baetology]

Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that don’t wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.

palestinians are still suffering and having a hard time finding food and shelter while israel is busy bombing and killing children around the world.

children have been bearing the brunt of israel's attacks. because of the occupation, children in gaza have been homeless for more than two years. they haven't attended proper schools or had peace in their lives in this time.

please consider helping my friend alaa. she has two young children and is doing her best to keep them safe. she needs to get food and clean water for them. please consider donating.

March 20th - Faramir meets Éowyn in the Houses of Healing

[phluphfy]

fuck unique experiences I love discovering that thousands of people did the exact same weird shit I did. we are all so much more similar than we are different and that’s part of the beauty of humanity.
