Every Now And Then I Have To Think Of The Roman Family From Two Thousand Years Ago That Buried Their

more adam parrish heartbreak bc i'm (still) rereading tdt and he's breaking my heart!!!

•"besides adam was good at hiding things"

•"but adam was thinking about the suppressed truth: the two of them were on perpendicular paths, not parallel ones, and eventually, they'd have to go different ways. by college, probably. if not college, then after. a tension was building in him, like the one that sometimes haunted him late at night, where he wanted to save gansey or *be* gansey"

•"he *was* adam parrish, army of one. gansey raised by these adoring courtiers, would never be able to understand that"

•"i won't take your pity"

•"i am unknowable"

•"adam has killed himself for aglinoby, he said suddenly and for what? education?"

•"the bruises he'd come to school with. who has he ever had to love him? ever?"

•"how terrible it would be, blue thought, her mind on adam again, to not have a mother who loved you?"

The dead poets society when you ask “is water wet?”

Neil: Fully believes water is not wet, has no evidence, has a brutal (but friendly) argument with Charlie about it. It gets ugly. They start pulling out the yo mama jokes.

Todd: Stands there really confused, like a deer in headlights, immediate panic no thoughts head empty

Charlie: Fully believes water is wet, has no evidence, ends up losing the argument because Keating agrees with Neil.

Knox: “…water…*is* the wet…?”

Meeks: “Well the definition of wetness is when water adheres to the surface of a material, so you could make the argument that water is wet because it is a bunch of water molecules that touch other water molecules, but that would also mean that a singular water molecule is dry, because it doesn’t have any other water molecules on it to make it wet.”

Pitts: *cries*

Cameron: *tries to agree with Charlie but gets told to shut the fuck up*

Keating: Laughs a little bit because what kind of silly question is that, but he thinks about it for a second and decides that no, water cannot be wet in the same way that dirt cannot be dirty, or dust cannot be dusty- things can be dusty if they have dust on them, but you wouldn’t take a handful of dust and say “wow this dust is super dusty.”

not so gentle reminder that academia belongs to the queer, the weary, the women, the people of color, the poor, the ill just as much as it does the rich, the white, the privileged. if your academia isn't accessible, i don't want it.

I’m glad that we all agree that Dane DeHaan is the ultimate Dark Academia boy™️

I would like to congratulate greta thunberg on being the only funny person on twitter
