actually hold the phone if you wanna talk about 'bear who's forest got demolished' local landmarks
this FOUR THOUSAND YEAR OLD standing stone in a housing development in Liberton dfhfdgdg
#we went to visit stonehenge once; it was all cared for and pristine and roped off and lovely to look at but we could not touch#and a few miles away we found some standing stones just in a field with some sheep. we must have spent more than hour climbing those rocks#and sliding down them while the sheep milled around us unbothered by the whooping#i don't know what the like. correct conservation answer is to this. but i loved climbing on those ancient stones#humans being humans

So sick of dog motif what about cat motif.
I love you but we don't love the same. I can't be near you when you want me to be. Your love is smothering and your need to keep me safe is trapping me. I'm my own person but I don't know how to show you that. I lash out and hurt you even though I don't mean to. I need you to move slowly around me or I'll bolt. I love you, even though I don't say it. If you stay still I'll sit next to you, and even though we don't understand each other we can be together like that.
#affection#that's love babey#i think a lot of people (and also cats) get easier when you realize people tend to give away what they want most#cats

I think every film critic review needs a footnote called the “fun-o-meter” where they ignore everything they said in the previous paragraphs and have to answer objectively. put it on a scale. good good to bad good to bad good to bad bad. for example. did venom get a 30% on rotten tomatoes? yes. but watching sweaty tom hardy sit in a fish tank and eat a live lobster was VERY fun. some movies aren’t meant to win awards. they’re just meant to be a hoot n a holler
#huh. you're right some movies are a lot more Movie than other movies#and it's not a maximum use of medium thing (i don't think); blue people avatar can't be adapted to any other medium (maybe rollercoaster?)#despite all the wiz-bang theatrics whereas the wizard of oz makes a perfectly good stage play but is also a Movie#the medium is the message#movies#meta#but yeah. more broadly. film is a whole medium not one genre. all movies shouldn't be aiming for the same goal#a shindig and ball are both dances and are both fun in different ways

When I was a kid I read a ton of books that were definitely not appropriate for my age. One of two things would happen:
I was too inexperienced to understand what I was reading, and it had no effect on me.
I understood what I was reading, and I leveled up.
#exactly! that's how it goes!#you get no progress without change#you can't protect kids forever (you shouldn't want to); you can only prepare them for what comes next#also there's a real joy in reading and feeling your brain and world Expand. everyone should get to experience that#reading#children
