my cat is incredibly sweet and wants nothing more than to be within a 5 ft radius of a person at all times, gently chilling in your orbit. he is also VERY, VERY DUMB 

it’s a slow morning so husband and I are reading, not making much noise. meanwhile, Barold goes downstairs to use his box and when he comes out, he starts yowling like his lil heart done broke. husband goes to to the top of the stairs all worried like, “Barold, what’s wrong?”

kitty zips back up the stairs and just oozes onto husband’s feet, purring high-powered lawnmower style. the realization hit us both at the same time…

this. boy. this itty bitty kitty boy. 

he couldn’t see or hear us for ten continuous seconds, forgot. we. were. home. and immediately burst into tears !!!!

All of this and more. It's a guy on the lam having a great time. It's a spark of natural beauty thumbing its nose at human industry, reminding us that its descendants will still be there long after we're gone.

And. Plants like this - mustard, dock, dandelion, bristly oxtongue, the infamous all-devouring kudzu - they're pioneer species, and they occupy a critical ecological niche. They thrive in barren places: disturbed ground, nutrient-poor soil, recent wildfire or volcanic sites. Their muscly roots break up compacted soil. They cling to every shred of organic matter between layers of gravel or ash, create little nets around themselves to collect more of the good stuff, die and decompose into richer soil for the next generation.

They laugh in the face of grazing and extreme temperatures and herbicide. They're perpetually giving Death the finger.

And because of everything that they are, a rich tapestry of other species slowly succeeds them. The next generation thrives because of the tenacity of their predecessors.

someone with a major in literature and/or poetry tell me what's so poetic about this that it captivated me because i have no idea honestly

I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.

Eliot: I stay close to protect Hardison and Parker. I suppose I’m third wheeling but if that’s what it takes to keep them safe then so be it

Hardison: Eliot is our boyfriend. We take him on dates all the time

Parker: he hasn’t figured it out yet

Hardison: I suggested we tell him

Parker: but this is more fun

Hardison: yeah it is

WONDER BAR (1934) | dir. Lloyd Bacon

“The other [scene that stands out above the rest] involved a handsome man, asking a dancing couple if he could cut in. The female partner, expecting his attention, agrees, only to see him dance with her male partner. Jolson then flaps his wrist and says, “Boys will be boys. Woo!”. This scene almost caused the Production Code to reject the film, and was featured in the opening scenes of the documentary film The Celluloid Closet (1996).”
