I know you don't know where I'm going.

But for the last time, I do not have room for another “troubled soul.”

We’ve already picked up three and at this rate I’m never going to get my vacation at Cape Cod!

And whose fault would that be?

Cecil? I was thinking about the series of ongoing actions that we perceive as the present, and the amassing of memories that we treat as the living record of the past and the hopes and dreams and assumptions that we project as the future. I was thinking about time. And about how it means something to so many people, and about how it’s so finite, and also so infinite. I was also thinking about space. About how it is nothing, and then, a point which is just a single spot within the nothing, and a line which separates the nothing into two nothings, and how a plane is a patch of nothing and an angle just where two nothings meet, but all those things combined, with an object of points, lines, planes, and angles, an object with length and width and depth that can take up actual space. Until that object becomes something made of nothing – within nothing. An object can be a wall, a floor, a roof, a bed, a table, a dog, a door, a rug, a…a home. And then, I thought about how a home is just a group of objects connected by a shared personal experience of time – our past, our present, our assumed future. A home is…I mean, uh, scientifically speaking, speaking form the point of view of mere facts and logic, and um…hmm. You know, what with science, and all…uhhh, I– I– I just thought it was…time for us to…make a home together.

WHAT IF THE FACELESS OLD WOMAN IS CECIL’S MOM? The FOW has never seen her own face and Cecil’s mom always kept the mirrors covered and I’m sure I’m not the first to think of this, but what if?

what if Cecil has taken to chewing lavender gum, not because he’s particularly fond of the flavour or even gum in general, but because it makes Carlos feel slightly less far away

When Frank Sinatra was 82 years old, on his 82nd birthday we were all over at his house and he had been very ill. And for months, there were times we didn’t realize whether he was with us or not. And, um, at this particular moment we were having dinner there was Gregory Peck and his wife, Kirk Douglas and his wife Ann, Jacqueline and Felicia, Angie Dickinson, Robert Wagner and a lot of his family and Frank was sitting off to the side and he was being spoon fed by the woman who took care of him. And to watch this great Frank Sinatra who would electrify audiences, forty thousand people just by his mere presence, to watch that entity disseminate to this point where he’s being spoon fed - and again, we didn’t know if he was with us or not. So we were making small talk, waiting for the cake, and somebody said; “Where’s the best place to live?” and Gregory Peck said, “I have a villa in France and I love it there” and Robert Wagner said, “Well we have a home in Aspen and we like it there” and Frank, with his head down, off to the side, and no one thought he was even listening, he said; “The best place to live is where your friends are”. And everyone was so shocked. My point is that this is a man who had won grammy’s, oscars, and by the end it wasn’t about any of those things it was about friendship and relationships. So that’s the last lesson he taught me before he died.

ijustlovemyredshinyshoess asked:

(tw: rape) someone the other night said "tequila rapes me" and I didn't know how to respond. I just stared at them with wide eyes while my boyfriend acted unimpressed by their comment but I want to respond better the next time someone is "raped by [their] test" or something equally as ignorant. what would misandry mermaid say to them?

misandry-mermaid answered:

I would just ask them what they mean and keep asking questions so they’d have to pick apart their own statement until they’re either tired of it or realize how awful it was.

Ex:

Him: “That test totally raped me!”You: “What do you mean?”Him: “I just wasn’t prepared at all.”You: “But… what does that have to do with rape?”Him: “Like, it totally took me by surprise.”You: “Is that what you imagine all rape looks like?”Him: “No, I just mean it was way worse than I thought.”You: “So why didn’t you say that instead of using the word rape?”Him: “I was just joking.”You: “Do you think of rape as a joke?”

etc etc.  Just respond to everything they say with another question, so they are constantly trying to defend what what meant to be a casual, flippant statement.  If he uses the “it was just a joke” excuse, you can ask him to explain the joke to you and do the same line-of-questioning technique but picking apart the supposed joke instead.

Okay, guys. I was in an argument with an asshole in my class today and I have a point to prove.

PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU FEEL THAT RAPE JOKES ARE NEVER ACCEPTABLE/FUNNY.

Thank you.
