sometimes i think about how constellations are an entirely man-made construct and don’t actually exhist inherently in nature. i mean, the universe just gave us stars, and we saw art and myths and stories in them. the capacity that humans have for seeing purpose in the incidental makes me realize just how lonely we are on this planet, desperately searching for meaning elsewhere in the universe.

I’ll meet you at the crossroads
Between 
the now
and then
And whisper all our secrets
That I can never speak again. -JJ

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

I’m just in love with the fact that the title of the comic is also Oscar Wilde’s apparent last words.

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

Rick Riordan finally snapped and released emails he sent to The Lightning Thief movie makers….

Things on my grandpa's dirt road farm that was actually pretty creepy in hindsight

There was always a specific spot where anything mechanical would shut down. Cars would stall and a four wheeler would cut off

A graveyard that didn’t belong to our family sat beside the home. We don’t know the names on the gravestones

There was a skeleton in the forest. We don’t know who passed there

A home at the beginning of the road burned down but the chimney remained. I swear we could see smoke coming from it sometimes

There were figures in the wheat fields sometimes but they were too far away to see. Grandpa said they were neighbors and we should never talk to them

My great grandmas house sits next to my grandpa’s, abandoned, and we were told to never go in there

Sometimes at night when I couldn’t sleep, I could hear the sound of clacking coming down the road
