The wildfires in Greece/Turkey. Flash floods in China and Europe. Asphalt-melting heat domes in Canada. Polar vortexes. This is what 1.1/1.2 degrees of warming looks like. We would need a massive structural change to all major world economies to avoid 1.5 degrees of warming. And if we overshoot that, we risk disintegrating ice sheets, the melting of permafrost (releasing more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere), and the Amazon becoming savannah. Those are the stakes. Every businessperson or politician who says we can wait, who sets 2040 targets, doesn’t get it.
Y’know the feeling when you’re walking through brambles and stepping over branches making a path for yourself in the woods and you’re just listening to the sounds of the forest and letting yourself feel small and a part of something much bigger and older and wiser than you? I want that.
i would literally kill to walk around in a museum or a library right now. don’t even talk to me about coffee shops unless you want me to cry. god I miss being out and about
Someday I will own an empty plot of land, and I will make it my life’s duty to fill that empty land with trees and native wildflowers and berry bushes. The birds can make their homes, the deer can feel safe and covered, the foxes and skunks and rabbits and squirrels will have resources to build their homes. Bees and butterflies will have all they need. I want nature to know it’s welcome to be here

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?
It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!
because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.
Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.
let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done
I've been thinking about Nanami as Mr.Darcy so I made this. I think I will draw some scenes from the 2005 version.
Samantha Shannon: If i was creating a fantasy world with dragons I would simply not write a patriarchy rapey homophobic racist one. Rip to grrm, but i’m different
when mitski said ‘and I was so young when I behaved 25, but now I find I’ve grown into a tall child’, and when marina said ‘I can’t open up and cry ‘cause I’ve been silent all my life’ and when anne carson said ‘to feel anything deranges you. to be seen feeling anything strips you naked. in the grip of pleasure or pain doesn’t matter’ and when when lorde ‘what about the kid? it’s time the kid got free’ and hozier said ‘i need to be youthfully felt ‘cause God, I never felt young’ and adele said ‘everybody tells me it’s ‘bout time I moved on, and I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young’ and when benjamin alira saenz said ‘I’d been born knowing to hide what I felt’ and then later ‘summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. summer was a book of hope’ and then also ‘she summer sun was not meant for boys like me. boys like me belonged to the rain.’ anyway
Bruh, this is the Summer of Pink.
