This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.

Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.

This is so relaxing. 

I COULD LISTEN TO THIS FOR HOURS THANKS

you press your cold feet against my warm legs as soon as you get into bed, and i pretend to pull away from you. you pull me back in, laughing to yourself, and i let it happen. you slide your legs in between mine, locking me in, and settle in. i wrap my arm around your waist and pull you even closer.

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer

to love and be loved is to rest

raccoons make no sense because they will leave your birdseed and garbage and garden and compost pile alone but they WILL open a barrel and pull out an empty 5 gallon gas canister and unscrew the lid and leave it in your yard and also untie the dog tether from your porch beam for no reason

one time I watched a raccoon pull up plastic tent stakes at a campground and just walk away, content with causing mischief

another time at camp I woke up to find a raccoon had grabbed the yarn that connected the string telephones my neighbor and I had strung up between our cabin windows and was just yanking on it… I grabbed one end and ended up in a tug-of-war over the string phone while this beefy raccoon pulled and pulled, hand over hand, making direct eye contact with me

and sometimes they’d sneak into cabins and just…. touch people while they slept

why!!! who said you could act like this!!!

god gave them hands but not shame

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly NOW. Love mercy NOW. Walk humbly NOW. You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it.”

From the Talmud

Pirkei Avos (Ethics/Chapters of the Fathers) 2:16

The fact that 2021 begun with a sea shanty renaissance and three months later ships are back on the 1700 trade routes is, actually, extremely funny.

“Be humble, for you are made of Earth, Be noble, for you are made of Stars.” -Serbian proverb

Do you have a favourite quote? I stumbled upon this proverb earlier this year, and I thought it would suit Blathers and Celeste perfectly considering their roles in animal crossing~
