#us coal mining is a fun bit of cultural connection with us over in wales#ultimately we both got fucked#and had to fight tooth and nail for unions#ironically thanks to tectonic plates we were essentially mining the same mountain range#thousands of miles apart#what you call blue ridge mountains#we call Yr wyddfa#west viginia and all the coal towns are siblings as far as im concerned#we were raised on the same stone#that makes us kin Via: @scottish-valkyrie

@ruffboijuliaburnsides yeah

You may not know your kin. But the earth knows.

#do we have any specific examples?

I love that he really put thought into his spellcasting gestures – using sign for them makes it just that little bit more fun

people online talk so much about hating babies and kids but in "the meatspace" people LOVE babies. hang out with a baby and you will see so many people staring at you with big smiles and waving at you and going "that baby is SO cute" and generally being pleasant unprompted. the lady at the vietnamese place just now gave us like three extra soup spoons because my niece loves those spoons but kept dropping them on the floor and the lady kept giving us more with a massive smile on her face. on our walk today a bunch of construction guys waved and grinned at her the whole time we walked by, and when we passed by an elementary school a little girl said "your baby's really sweet!" babies are not balls of irritation and hatred they are beacons of joy and kindness actually and they bring out the best in strangers. whenever im out with her we have multiple positive interactions with strangers who are so happy to see her. or maybe it's just that my baby niece is the cutest most wonderful baby in the world :]

sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me

There is supposed to be a place where no one can reach you. Traditionally, the home, but now we settle for the ocean, the airplane, the summit of a mountain, the middle of a lake, the shower, the womb, the grave

pssssst hey. hey. free and expansive database of folk and fairy tales. you can thank me later

Every time I'm busy all the theaters are playing those made up artsy movies that insecure people talk about to make fun of "film snobs" that just end up sounding really cool and whenever I'm free it's all shit like a Winnie the Pooh Slasher Movie and a Goonies reboot

When I'm busy: Lithuanian film about a homosexual pigeon who travels to Germany and after learning about his pigeon sexuality, witnesses the fall of the Berlin Wall with his lover, a discarded cigarette who is a drag queen

When I'm free: Ghostbusters 7: Bustin Never Felt Better

I'm obsessed with this chair. The artist takes a flimsy hunk of injection-molded plastic that's been cost-cut to hell and back, and insists that we look at it with fresh eyes and understand its beauty. And they went about it in the most labor-intensive way I can think of.

Absolutely nothing about this design is convenient to execute in wood. Every piece is curved, most have compound curves. This is artisan craftsmanship: it's inherently slow, manual, and skilled. Notice, also, that most features of this chair must be thicker and heavier than on the plastic chairs being imitated. Injection-molded chairs can be produced in this shape in a matter of minutes with far less material at very low cost.

If these flowing, organic curves are so beautiful in polished wood, perhaps they are also beautiful in the mass-produced chairs that are far more accessible. Perhaps we should remember to admire designs that succeed enough to become ubiquitous. I don't know about you, but I'll never see injection-molded chairs the same way again.

hold on a second man…
