i think if your account has existed on this site for a certain number of years you should be grandfathered into ad free browsing. a decade seems reasonable like if you signed up in 2012 or prior you have tenure

(me, my parents, my sister, and the baby are sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch)
baby, pointing at the light fixture over the table and signing "on": o.*
my sister: we actually can't turn that light on right now, because the lightbulb inside is burnt out! it needs a new one.
baby: ighbu.
sister: yes, lightbulb! granddaddy said after we eat he's going to climb up there on a ladder and change it, and then the light will come on!
baby: gadada! adda, uuu! ighbu o!
sister: exactly!
baby, signing "on" and pointing at the light and then my dad, with increasing urgency: GADADA ADDA UUUU. O.
my sister: we're going to finish eating first though, ok?
baby: nonono. O. gadada adda uuu.
[a split second goes by]
baby, pointing to himself: ba. adda uuu. ighbu.
me: you're going to climb the ladder and change the lightbulb yourself?
baby: dzyeah. *pointing to the buckle where he is buckled into the high chair* ububu.
me: unbuckle you? so you can change the lightbulb?
baby, highly businesslike: dzyeah.
*pronounced like "on" without the n

That man about to be working over time.

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

I used to love going to San Diego for Comic Con by train. I’d start in Chicago, take a train that would take two or three days of bimbling through lower Illinois and Texas and New Mexico and I’d get to LA and then a commuter train to San Diego. I’d meet thousands of people in San Diego and then I’d get on the train in LA and go up the coast and then head East and spend another day or two decompressing until I got off in Minneapolis St Paul. It was the best time of the year. Sometimes I’d write and sometimes I’d stare out of the window.
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope dir. George Lucas | 1977
okay a couple ppl in the reblogs pointed out that in the last gif luke is questioning if ben ever used this on him and I think that’s a great way to go but i’m proposing what if instead this is the moment luke realizes that all the times he somehow miraculously talked himself out of getting beaten up by whatever tatooine thug had it out for him that week had nothing to do with his natural charms and much more to do with the fact that he can apparently control minds
when i say "wig" i'm exclusively referring to this
When the waitress didn’t bring her coffee quick enough after church
forget Resting Bitch Face, I have Resting Competent Face. People see me and think ah yes she can point me to the nearest train station. Fellow grocery shoppers ask if I know what kind of butter they should buy. If a strange man speaks to me on the street it is literally always an inquiry and never a catcall. Once someone randomly asked me what an equinox was and after I told her she nodded and said “you seemed like you’d know.” why am I assigned oracle at random interaction
We need to bring back children’s programming that focuses on reading. I’m so serious
WE NEED THEM BACK ‼️‼️‼️
fun fact there's a political reason for less learning shows--the push for advertising in children's entertainment and deregulation surrounding it
LeVar Burton has specifically called out No Child Left Behind as what killed Reading Rainbow. The priorities of NCLB made it next to impossible to get grants for reading related that didn't focus on phonics, and RR is entirely about teaching kids to love reading, not the mechanics of it. I think Between the Lions struck a nice compromise between the two but it didn't last that long.
its insane to me that people do not eat their food from bite theyre going to enjoy least to the one theyre going to enjoy most. like you bithes just eat at random? what if the last bite sucks? have yall not suffered enough? 🤨
“an estranged relationship with pleasure” he would do numbers on here
I'm often struck by the thought that even if Hozier hadn't made it in music, the likelihood of him becoming famous as a dril-level internet cryptid comedian was still extremely high
they don’t prescribe visits to Rivendell for rest and healing like they used to
I’ve had this username on multiple sites since 2003, and it’s never been felt more appropriate than this. I NEED a Rivendell vacation.
The villain laughs. “The Chosen One cannot spill blood on holy ground. I have won!” You draw your blade. “The Chosen One died the first day of our journey,” you say. “A Valet may spill blood where he pleases.”
Go get ‘em, Jeeves!
Sorry are we just casually living in a world where Bertie’s DEAD
this minute long clip from make some noise made me feel more emotions than any oscar bait drama i've ever seen or ever will see
