I've been traveling on the train all day and in my head I'm a girl in my 20s going on a grand adventure. But then I'll pause in the bathroom because an older middle aged woman is looking back.
I don't mind my age. I don't care that I've gained weight, that my hair is grey, that my hips sometimes get cranky. I'm more settled, know who I am,care less about what others think.
But I really wish both girls were the same.
not enough secret gardens and hidden passageways and bookshelves that open to a mysterious library these days. get working on that girls.

For the first time ever baby Galapagos pink land iguanas have been observed! The critically endangered species has an estimated adult population of 200-300 animals, which researchers worried were beginning to decline due to age. A ten month search found nesting sites and hatchlings on Isabela Island, in a remote area near Wolf Volcano. Like the name suggests adult Galapagos pink land iguanas are a shade of bright pink, however, babies are bright green with black spots.

i was in the grocery store and saw an onion on the ground and picked it up, absently saying “poor little guy.” behind me a teenage girl started laughing and then stopped and went “aww. i’m sorry for laughing. that’s nice actually.” and the cycle of cruelty is broken for another generation as a young person realizes that it is not embarrassing to have empathy for another thing that was once living, because certainly to be a lone white onion rolling on the ground in a supermarket would be terrifying to anyone

this honestly just came out of left fucking field i would have never expected to hear anything like this in this show. consider me Pleasantly Surprised tbh
This was the autism episode
people seem to forget that house was a multiply disabled man, so it should be a given that he’d be against eugenics and eugenicist doctors
i love this because it’s such a simple concept but it answers things i didn’t even know how to ask
Looking out of people’s windows is such a peaceful way of travelling… I got a snowfall in Argentina, a nice sea view in Ukraine, a clothes line in the fog in Bangalore. Antonella from Tavernaro, I like your wooden bird.
We are officially ONE HALF of the way through with our first ever Year of the OTP! A huge congratulations to everyone who's kept up with the event so far -- and a huge burst of motivation toward anyone who's worried they're falling behind
Creating is *hard* sometimes, but you all are absolutely killing it! Serendipity is alive and well and the world, and as of this very moment, we have exactly ONE THOUSAND (that's 1,000!!!!!) works submitted to our collection! An idea that started in a Batman fanfic centered discord server has grown to include over 300 fandoms in this massive and incredible enterprise. You lot are amazing; keep up the good work <3
Our standard friendly reminders: - The official collection is open and unmoderated! If you're submitting to a moderated collection, then it is the wrong one - YOTP will *not* be making a repeat performance in 2024, for the sake of leaving the collection and prompts open available for another year in case anyone is joining us late or needs more time. (Or got so consumed by an idea from January's prompts that you've fallen a little behind).
July's prompts are: Vacation together, Power Swap, Enemies to Lovers, "Batman won't like this", stars, and Coffeeshop AU

Planet Earth. This is where I was born. And this is where I died. The first nineteen years of my life, nothing happened. Nothing at all, not ever. And then I met a man called the Doctor. A man who could change his face. And he took me away from home in his magical machine. He showed me the whole of time and space. I thought it would never end. … Well, that’s what I thought. But then came the Army of Ghosts. Then came Torchwood and the war. That’s when it all ended. This is the story of how I died.

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:
It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
wdym you can hear it?
Basically, it’s a form of synesthesia, movement-hearing. In this case, you expect to hear a thud, so you do. It’s estimated that 20% of people experience this type of synesthesia, as opposed to 2-4% for other kinds.
YO what the FUXK
The longer you watch it the more you get convinced that you can hear a distant thud and the air displace.
I heard the thud. I closed my eyes and the thud stopped. I opened my eyes and I heard the thud. My goodness but human brains are a mess.
This was easily the first ever viral post on Tumblr back in 2011/12. Perhaps even before the great “what your leg feels like after falling asleep” followed by a picture of a static teevee channel.
