This is the beautiful thing you need to see today

“I’ve always wanted to be a dad early in life.  I want to be energetic and active and mobile.  I’d like my parents to experience being grandparents.  My dad was thirty-three when I was born, so that’s always been a bit of a benchmark.  And unfortunately it just passed by.  But it’s not something I have any control over. In every other area of life, I can make progress by putting in work.  I can practice.  I can gain new skills.  But the harder I pursue having a family, the further away it seems.  It’s difficult to enter a relationship with children in mind.  It complicates things.  You ask heavy questions a little earlier than you should.  So I just do my best to put it out of my mind.  I’m in town for an engagement party right now, and last night I crashed with an old college friend.  This morning I helped feed his baby son.  I was pretty good at it.  He’s a picky eater, so I had to pretend to take bites myself.  I had to make funny faces.  I had to ‘boop’ him on the nose with the spoon.  But I got him to eat his breakfast.  And I guess it was the novelty of feeding someone, but the whole experience just rekindled the notion of: ‘I want this for myself.’”

Centaur Comfort Mattress™: The Horse Hole Keeps Your Bones Safe

I’m honestly so glad Tumblr discusses things like “How can I comfortably sleep with a centaur?” and “What kind of chairs would dragons have?”

vacation was great but it totally wiped me out. we got home and I fell asleep for 3 hours. now to begin the horror that is unpacking…

[zbornak-blog1]

forgot to mention that the first cold of the season is upon us. my partner is deep in the thick of it and I can feel myself declining. I'm hoping I'm feeling well enough to make it thru grocery shopping tomorrow, cross your fingers for me!

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

a gentle reminder that you did well this year. you met new people, learned new things and felt new feelings. you did so many things that made you scared. you picked yourself up off the floor after feeling completely defeated or heartbroken. there were some really tough nights but you survived them all. you made people happy just by existing. you accepted many goodbyes but the serendipitous meetings made up for them. it was your own hard work that paid off but you always downplay it or compare yourself to others. that’s not fair on yourself. you’ve come so far from the first day of this year. you have more wisdom and strength now. yes, other people seem more “successful” but does that even matter? please don’t think so lowly of yourself to only think about your failures. 2018 was your year of growth. I hope you take a moment to be kind to yourself, and believe that 2019 will be even better.

I’m really glad that we as a society haven’t grown tired of seeing Keira Knightley in period clothing

National Geographic on Facebook: this is a facial reconstruction of a teenage girl who lived 9000 years ago based on her remains!

half the comments: men criticizing her looks and saying she’s unattractive and mannish

[alliluyevas]

anyway this is the reconstruction and I always enjoy seeing the faces of prehistoric humans and how much we have in common over thousands of years despite how incredibly different our lives are. I support her and I think she looks wonderful.

[frontholemonologues-deactivated]

everyone in the replies of this post saying “well I think she’s pretty!” missed the whole damn point lmao

[benyw]

I remember watching a documentary once where historians were trying to work out who a dead girl was and what her life was like. I’m pretty sure they dated the body back to the early Victorian era, and established pretty early on that she lived in poverty, died young, and was most certainly a prostitute.

The grand finale of the show was the reveal of her reconstructed face. Now, bare in mind that through their investigations they discovered that she had lived an awful life and died an agonizing death (syphilis iirc). So, you can imagine my disgust when the historians reacted with disappointment at the reveal of her ‘face’. This poor girl, who had suffered terribly, was obviously not the poor, tragic beauty they had been hoping for.

She was plain, maybe some would say she was ugly, but what was truly hideous was the fact that you could practically see the sympathy these historians had for this poor girl slip away as they looked at her ‘face’, and you could certainly hear it in their voices.

Even in death our value rests on the basis of our looks. Sympathy is conditional - based on where you fall on the looks scale.

Can you imagine Steve Rogers discovering PBS?

The documentaries and science and nature programs.  The nice educational kid’s shows.  Just all of it.  Enjoying the gentle ribbing of his friends about being Mister Rogers.

Then finding out that the government wants to defund PBS.

Deciding to take up another sacred mantle.

Steve Rogers appearing before the Senate wearing a sweater, looking at the Senators with disappointment.

“Years ago another Mister Rogers stood here.  I think it’s a shame I have to stand here now.”

Headcanon utterly and completely accepted!

“You are not living up to the potential Mister Rogers sees in you,” Rogers said, sitting down. The room sat quiet, aghast, as that sunk in to everyone involved.

The 10 Best Dressed Women Of 2018 | British Vogue

When Tracee Ellis Ross commits to a look, she really commits. Take pink, in which she’s stolen our hearts this year, via voluminous fuchsia Valentino (the Emmys), Barbie-worthy Michael Kors (the Met Gala) and quite possibly every shade in between. When not satiating her healthy appetite for Balenciaga streetwear via her Instagram feed, she’s been using her time in the spotlight to make a statement. Case in point: the AMAs, where she wore clothes created by solely black designers to wave the flag for inclusivity in the fashion industry. Bow down.

Mars missions may be all-female to avoid astronauts having sex during 1.5-year journey | The Express Tribune

If two astronauts were to get frisky, and the female fell pregnant, it is unclear what the effect on the baby would be

LMFAOOOOOOOO WHERE DO I BEGIN?!?!?! 

1) Does…does NASA really not know about lesbians and bisexuals? adskjhasdksgajfs 2) NASA deciding on a team of all women because they will work together better than a team of all men is valid 

3) If NASA or any of the astronauts refer to each other as “gal pals,” I’m ending it  4) The future is female and space is gay confirmed, everyone else has to say on Earth  5) This is some fanfic AU gold:  “And they were shuttlemates”  “Oh my god they were shuttlemates.”
