16th century ring that unfolds into an astronomical sphere
This is how I’m proposing to my partner in the future, I’m using this ring
I know I've shared this link before, but please take a few minutes to tell the US Federal Railroad Administration that we need more passenger trains. (Nicely! They know we need them and are gathering data for where they'll get the most bang for their buck, so to speak.) If you don't personally have any specific opinions on where trains are needed, please encourage them to reopen the old Amtrak Floridian line, because it would make my life so much nicer.
You don't even have to be in the US to submit feedback btw.
Do this, we need the Floridian restored
i am once again asking you to watch the 2019 shakespeare in the park production of much ado about nothing
oh shit that is glorious
Oh fabulous. I was unaware of it and now I need to find out if there’s a recording I can watch.
YES! The camera work in the clip above made me wonder if it was from a professionally filmed performance and in fact there’s a Great Performances version up on archive.org:

No you cannot fix your entire life at 2am. Go to bed.
You can fix some of it though! By going to bed.
Ever since I read a post saying "don't trust yourself after 9pm" whenever I find myself spiralling at 2am I check the time, see it's after 9pm, and remember not to trust myself and just go to sleep. Works wonders. The problems are never as bad in the morning.
Us Czechs have a saying: Ráno moudřejší Večera.
"Morning is the wiser of Evening"
And it's basically this sentiment
Let this be your sign to watch older movies right now please
And ISTG if I see one argument that you "don't like movies by problematic white men". Oscar Micheaux has films available as far back as 1920's
Alice Guy has such an extensive filmography starting in 1896 that it is genuinely overwhelming. Including the first film with an all african amercian cast in registered history.
Start caring about history and stop hiding behind fake progressive morals to excuse your ignorance.
This person has done THE most impressive job I have ever seen compiling links to many films and books for free
This is an impressive list of film noirs you can watch for free
TubiTV is my favorite streaming site, it has a spectacular list of older films, and you don't need to even create an account to watch them
Also the amount of great older movies available on youtube always impresses me. Every time I can't find an obscure movie on torrent, it is usually just there on youtube. Mosfilm has been remastering their most classic releases and uploading them there.
Anyway, be curious! Search "films about <thing you like>" on your searching engine of choice. Chances are someone made a movie about it no matter how weird and crazy it might seem!
I know I jest sometimes, but films are legitimately great! There is so much to discover out there, it keeps me always excited for the next great thing I can discover that I had never heard about! Please, shed you chains of hollywood fast food, there is so much beauty just at your reach
GRADE SCHOOL SJWS stop using social justice language to explain shit to your conservative parents IT’S NOT GONNA GO THROUGH now all they have are some new words to make fun of. don’t tell your mom she’s being fatphobic tell her she’s being a dick
More ceramics from the kiln today! Second ever attempt to glaze things has gone slightly better but the underglaze darkening is still tripping me up so I’ll make better whale sharks in the future
I’ll list some (a few are already claimed/for other people) of these tonight on the ko-fi shop maybe?? Let’s say 10pm CST
I’m keeping the whale skeleton dish tho sorry >:)
We need like “unclench your jaw” posts but for eye strain. Like
Go look at something 20ft away for 20 seconds.
take off your glasses if you wear them for 20 seconds
Recommended by my optometrist
Look at something 20 feet away, then 10, then 5, then one, then if you can your nose.
Repeat twice, then again without glasses.
Face forward look out of the corner of your eye. As far as you can look. Slowly move to the other corner. Repeat twice.
Look down as far as you can. Slowly look up. Repeat twice.
Roll eyes twice.
Close eyes for five minutes.
I do this every day usually at my halfway point. My migraines went away. My vision go better. Honestly stretching my eyes as she put it feels great too.
