Hey Guys! Last Year My Mom Did A Project With Her Class To Discover How Far A Picture Can Travel Through

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

I'm getting the meadowlands farm every time I start a new save because I love my lil babies 🥰💕

nobody does it better than the stardew valley chicken

lets goooooo little dude you know exactly whats going on

GILLIAN ANDERSON in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (2014)

We said I love you like it was a obligation not a declaration

Love was a law enforced out of a sense of duty

3 words, sometimes 2, said at the end of phone calls and before closing our eyes

Maybe it could've been more than a rule...

But giving our hearts was a liability neither was willing to risk

So sue me for ending the legal monotony in the political game of being "the love of your life"

— i think this is the first spring I’ve ever lived

one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.

my trick for getting through grad school is learning to navigate the quadrants with all their nuances

Certainly there were times, and maybe there still are places, where simple neglect will allow a disrupted landscape to return to anything resembling a natural state. But here? On the east coast of the US, where we've been destroying habitat and employing high-control, extractive land management, and expanding urban and suburban areas, for four hundred years now, there is very little left of what was.

The chestnuts are gone. The canebrakes are gone. The wetlands remain only where they were least profitable to remove. The elm suffers, the grasslands are obliterated, the old growth is all logged long since.

I've got front row seats for some of what happens if you leave this land alone. The woods are choked by invasive multiflora rose and Japanese honeysuckle. I don't think I've ever seen a native honeysuckle in person. The fields, left to grow, grow nothing but non-native grasses, poison ivy that sets no berries and feeds no birds, invasive Tree of Heaven saplings that poison the soil with their root exudate, and the occasional hardy locust sapling. There are no flowers there, save a few ironweed and asters late in the year.

If I just leave it alone, those things will keep going, native plants long gone from this place will only appear by some miracle, and this landscape will continue to not support many of the plants, animals, and insects once native to this place. It needs my help. (It needs a lot more than just my help, but we'll see). I can't "return it to its natural state", because ecosystems do not have enduring natural states. But I can see that this land supports a far greater density and variety of native species, and I will do that.

you'll run through every good woman like you ran the knife into my back.
