You are not required to be small. You are not required to be pleasant. You are not required to be conventional. You are not required to be accommodating. You are not required to be submissive. You are not required to be merciful.  You are not required to be quiet.

The measure of a good book is in the eyes of its reader. You can like a book that is detested by millions or hate a book that is praised by millions. A good book is a book that you enjoy. Period. Regardless of reviews or praise or hate. YOU decide what makes a book good. For you.

i love reading my own blog… its like a window into a version of tumblr with no bad posts, because i never have made a bad post in my life and my blog is perfect

So there’s this artist, Alex Schaefer, who makes a bunch of paintings of Chase Bank burning.

There’s just

so many of these

and I think it’s incredibly funny but

I just read this bit from the artist and

This is a "plein air" painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was "Do you hate these banks?" I can honestly say yes.

And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.

this user hopes every lesbian knows they’re amazing.

Hozier once said “move me, baby” and I will never not feel that deep in my soul.
