Ur Early 20s Are About Being Obsessed With Kindness And Mary Oliver And Seasonal Fruits And Recreating

my father found these deer dead with their antlers tangled together in a field and i will literally never stop thinking about them

When I walked through the park yesterday morning I looked up at the surrounding buildings and in the shadows of the sun, against the blue sky, the man working on the roof there looked like a seated Sphinx.

'Lovers' by Max Svabinsky, 1896.

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

of course love exists that’s why matt berninger from the national wrote “i wanna hurry home to you, put on a slow dumb show for you, and crack you up" and then “you know i dreamed about you for 29 years before i saw you, i missed you for 29 years”

Shoenhut doll construction was fucking wild. You can show me as many examples as you want of it, and I still feel overwhelmed.

Like, their contribution to the toy industry in general is crazy, from how it was one of the biggest manufacturers in the United States to how no one outside of collectors knows of them now, but the sheer technological complexity of their play dolls is mind boggling.

This was the 1910s; ball jointing with string was the predominant method of movement, and composition was king. Shoenhut started out with toy pianos, and had only worked up to jointed dolls via their smaller scale circus line and a Teddy Roosevelt playset (yes, really).

The "All Wood Perfection Art Doll" was not only a mechanical marvel, but was specifically advertised as being durable and painted in such a way that it wouldn't (not for a while, at least) wear off or chip. They're a relic of a bygone "Made to Last Forever" mentality, and many of them can still hold their poses to this day.

Making life-changing decisions in your 20s should be illegal.

I just need regular jeans bro, why is it so hard to find some ???
