Target is where you go when youâre gonna try to restructure your entire life with 100 bucks, and youâre counting on a shoe rack, thumbtacks, a whiteboard, and new stationary to do it.
Everyone in here is looking for forgiveness and theyâre trying to find it in a tasteful desk lamp and minimalist day planner

â Georgia OâKeeffe, in a letter to Russel Vernon Hunter, from Georgia OâKeeffe: Art and Letters
Look to the stars, but they will not guide you. Bathe in their light, bathe in the moon's blessing. They will not guide you, but you will not be lost.
tumblr notifs: Mutualâą has liked your post
me: *clicks on the button to see which post* I must know which of my humble offerings have pleased my dearest.
all i want to do is write that one fic that takes peopleâs breath away and kinda lingers in the back of their minds. i want to write something that makes people want to make art and play with my versions of characters or in the universe i created. i want to be able to create worlds that feel real enough to walk into and write lines that stick with people until they forget where exactly they heard it because it lives in their bones now.
not to be like âI think I just drove into a different realmâ but I just drove through a village where everything was covered in mist, there were random horses on the side of the road, an abandoned black cab and absolutely no one around save a few white thatched cottages equally surrounded by trees as much as mist so like

im so glad discovering music is endlessÂ
So I just had a thought
What if supernatural creatures donât exist anymore? What if they did once, but through the years, they slowly mixed in with humans?
You can see the blood of fairies in the way a ballet dancer hovers in mid air before he or she hits the ground. You can see it in the way that middle school girl never forgets when someone makes her a promise. You can see it in how that one little boy in the kindergarten class seems more comfortable in the forest on that field trip than the others.
You can see the blood of dryads in hikers who never trip over roots. You can see it in that suburban grandmother never lets any of her garden die. You can see it in that one kid who climbs a tree faster than his friends, barely looking at the branches as he goes.
You can see the blood of naiads in the way a professional swimmer seems to command the water to help them. You can see it in how a cross country runner needs a water break more often than his teammates. You can see it in the way that one girl in your class always has a water bottle on her desk.
You can see the blood of mermaids in a surfer who can be tossed around underwater for a long time without drowning. You can see it in a teenage boy who doesnât have to pretend to be unbothered by the pressure when he races his friends to the bottom of a swimming pool. You can see it in the little girl who wades into every stream she sees on a hike without quite knowing why.
You can see the blood of sirens in people who never have a problem with getting people to date them. You can see it in that soprano who can hit notes most of her fellows can only dream of. You can see it in the camp counselor who all the straight girls have a crush on, who can play guitar and sing better than any of the others.
You can see the blood of shapeshifters in the way an actor adjusts their personality to become their character with scary accuracy. You can see it in the subconscious, barely noticeable changes a tween girlâs eyes make to match her outfit better. You can see it in the way you always lose that one friend in a crowd if youâre not careful, because heâs just too good at blending in.
People who carry the blood of werewolves donât change with the full moon anymore, but you can still see it in the way your best friend always knows something is wrong, though even they donât know theyâre smelling the changes in your body chemistry. You can see it in the way that one guy always seems to eat more than the reasonable amount of red meat at an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can see it in the way that one werido never has a problem when the teacher turns off the lights before a PowerPoint presentation because her eyes adjust quicker and better than yours.
The blood of supernatural creatures may have mostly faded away. But if you look closely, you can still see it.

The science world is freaking out over this 25-year-old's answer to antibiotic resistance
A 25-year-old student has just come up with a way to fight drug-resistant superbugs without antibiotics.
The new approach has so far only been tested in the lab and on mice, but it could offer a potential solution to antibiotic resistance, which is now getting so bad that the United Nations recently declared it a âfundamental threatâ to global health.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria already kill around 700,000 people each year, but a recent study suggests that number could rise to around 10 million by 2050.
In addition to common hospital superbug, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), scientists are now also concerned that gonorrhoea is about tobecome resistant to all remaining drugs.
But Shu Lam, a 25-year-old PhD student at the University of Melbourne in Australia, has developed a star-shaped polymer that can kill six different superbug strains without antibiotics, simply by ripping apart their cell walls.
âWeâve discovered that [the polymers] actually target the bacteria and kill it in multiple ways,â Lam told Nicola Smith from The Telegraph. âOne method is by physically disrupting or breaking apart the cell wall of the bacteria. This creates a lot of stress on the bacteria and causes it to start killing itself.â
The research has been published in Nature Microbiology, and according to Smith, itâs already being hailed by scientists in the field as âa breakthrough that could change the face of modern medicineâ.
Before we get too carried away, itâs still very early days. So far, Lam has only tested her star-shaped polymers on six strains of drug-resistant bacteria in the lab, and on one superbug in live mice.
But in all experiments, theyâve been able to kill their targeted bacteria - and generation after generation donât seem to develop resistance to the polymers.

Yes. All the yes. Women in STEM deserve ALLLLLLLL the applause. All of it. And cake. All the cake, too.Â

I love this solution because itâs just⊠So simple. Everyone is getting deeper and deeper into pharmacology trying to find new stuff and new combos thatâll overcome bacterial resistance (while Big Pharma rakes in the profits) and this student was like âwhat if.. We just.. Physically rip it the fuck apart?? Whatâs it gonna do? Develop resistance to me cutting a bitch?â

I have found the BEST mug ever. I told myself I wasnât gonna spend money while I was working in Idaho Springs today but I saw this and couldnât not get it.
The mug says: âyou keep saying âcampingâ but itâs starting to feel more like weâre on the run.â
If courage isnât the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isnât the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it
this is beautiful
By this same token, maybe goodness isnât the absence of bad thoughts or impulses, but the conscious choice to behave according to your moral ideals in spite of them.Â
Hey all, remember when I said Iâd never do another picture-fic because I donât have photoshop and itâs straight up the devilâs work? Yeah, I lied.Â
someone give me validation this took foreverÂ

The Signs and Gardens:
Aries: The wandering wood. A migration with the seasons, leaving churned earth and broken rocks behind.
Taurus: First of the old Whistling Stones. A natural arch between two mountains, a low wandering melody with the spring winds.
Gemini: The town square in the quarantine district. A marble fountain overgrown with creepers. Roots of trees pushing the pavestones apart like impacted teeth.
Cancer: Grazing fields under a new moon. The hulking thing on its hands and feet that jumps the fence at night, fistfulls of grain that it feeds to the cattle.
Leo: An abandoned isolated fortress and a broken bridge. An alchemist greenhouse teeming with unexplored things.
Virgo: A clearing. Logging equipment strewn about as if abandoned in a hurry.
Libra: Valley of the dead. The strange plants that grow around the spring. Waters deep and black, solid as the gentle night.
Scorpio: A resting great-stag. Antlers covered with blooming moss, only visible by the light of fireflies.Â
Ophiuchus: The remains of a little cottage. A garden of medicinal plants carried by the wind and wildlife that now takes up an entire field.
Sagittarius: The valley delta. The place where the flood plains hit the tide pools. Low sandy pits teaming with alien life. The slow dance between salt and fresh waters.Â
Capricorn: The sealed mountain barrow. Strange anemic vegetation sinking roots into mummified flesh that still wanders the chambers.Â
Aquarius: Salt flats. Dried remains of extinct grasses pressed and preserved under the baking white sand, headstones to the lakebed this place used to be.
Pisces: The tangle of brambles growing above the drain to the cistern. Bits of cloth and trash obscuring the thing that made its nest at the center.
Normal Horoscope:
Aries: Right now is a good time for planning. Get the world set in motion and use the momentum down the line to crush any who would oppose you with your enormous ball of plans.
Taurus: You struggle with second guessing yourself. Keep moving! Indecision is death! That helicopter isnât going to hijack itself!
Gemini: People are depending on you to uphold your promises. The last thing you want to be known as is a trickster. Or is it? Thats exactly the sort of thing a trickster would do!
Cancer: Feeling tense? Anxious? Worried? Feeling the change? Hungry? Ravenous? Long? Tense? Long?
Leo: The stars say that this is the time to downplay your abilities but not your actions. Allow the world to underestimate you so you can uppercut it in the jaw for snickering during your presentation last week.
Virgo: A positive attitude will take you in a positive direction, at least until your lack of situational awareness leads you straight off a cliff into a pit of spikes. Keep your eyes open virgo.
Libra: When others cant decide, you will be there to make the tough choices with your brave disregard for things like âRational Thoughtâ and âBasic Self-preservationâ.
Scorpio: What the ignorant call paranoia or hyper-vigilance, you call an impenetrable defense against the group of assassins that are definitely maybe following you.Â
Ophiuchus: Use your quick thinking and clever nature to escape when the waiter mistakes your pleasantries for genuine interest in the sort of corn they use in the tortillas.
Sagittarius: When you feel anxious energy building up inside you, look on the bright side! This is an opportunity to practice focusing it into a devastating Anxiety Beam attack.
Capricorn: Having trouble reaching your goal Capricorn? Not sure whats wrong? Consider that there just might be an obstacle in the way between you and your desires.
Aquarius: When youâre in the midst of some emotional drama is can be difficult not to lose sight of the larger goal. Stick to professionalism and confidence in your abilities. You have a bank to rob.
Pisces: Today you might fall into a bottomless pit. This is not a metaphor.
