I'm a mess. A funny mess, but a mess nontheless.

i’m obsessed with this painting called tomato king and i’m even more obsessed with the man who drew it. his name is stuart dunkel and he is a classical oboeist and he also paints tiny little oil paintings of mice living their best lives. he looks like this.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@raevenlywrites the WHO???

The guy who does the mice with jelly beans

And dreidels, apparently

What’s funny is that this actually happened. 

I’m unfamiliar with this story please elaborate

Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis. 

Did he survive?

Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).

His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up

Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed

Father uses sons’ drawings as inspiration for anime transformations

The father’s artistic talent is clearly on display here, but I’m actually really impressed with this kid’s wild imagination. Many of his drawings are both conceptually unique and coherent.

The creativity of ones mind is limitless.

Wow his son is super creative

The modern education system was designed during the Industrial Revolution to force children into a workplace environment (“Shut up, sit down, do your busywork, obey authority without question, no bathroom breaks, you are dismissed by the bell”) and has not been updated since. Rich kids in private school get to sit in circles and discuss literature theory like businessmen exchanging ideas. Middle-class kids sit in arrays of desks like assembly lines or cubicles. Poor kids attend schools with armed security guards and metal detectors, ready for a lifetime of prison labor. What we’re seeing now is that teachers try sending these attitudes home with their students and parents don’t remember the authoritarian aspects being so overt.

An uneventful day in Saudi Arabia:

"This crystal is good for such-and-such organ!" oh yeah name 3 of that organ's functions

"This will cleanse your body of toxins" Oh? Which ones? What are their names? Why are they bad for you? What symptoms do they cause?

This is the only good addition to this post

Love LITERALLY every post about how bad the casting for the new Mario movie includes a sidebar about “this does not apply to Jack Black, who is amazing and we’re all thrilled he’s here”

september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone

Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.

His dad is dead, just don’t.

In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.

He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.

It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.

reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.

Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.
