idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com

this post went from 600 to 2400 notes in the time it took me to write 3 emails. i’m already terrified for what’s going to happen in there

k but also, as an addendum, the reason we study literary analysis is because everything an author writes has meaning, whether it was intentional or not, and their biases and agendas are often reflected in their choice of language and literary devices and so forth! and that ties directly into being able to identify, for example, the racist and antisemitic dogwhistles often employed by the right wing, or the subconscious word choices that can unintentionally illustrate someone’s bias or blind spot. LANGUAGE HAS WEIGHT AND MEANING! the way we communicate is a reflection of our inner selves, and that’s true regardless of whether it’s a short story or a novel or a blog post or a tweet. instead of taking a piece of writing at face value and stopping there, assuming that there is no deeper meaning or thought behind the words on the page, ask yourself these two questions instead:
1. what is the author trying to say? 2. what does the author maybe not realize they’re saying?
because the most interesting reading of any piece of literature, imho, usually occupies the space in between those questions.

the doctor who writers were super lucky they picked britney spears toxic for the “traditional earth ballad” joke because the song was only 2 years old then, they couldn’t have known it would be that iconic and timeless. they could so easily have picked a more forgettable and dated chart hit from 2003
#controversial opinion but i feel that cremation should honestly be more accepted in christianity. you know “memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris” and all that jazz. i think it would be more poetic in a sense.
for those who are asking the latin is “remember, man, that dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return”
“memento, homo” is how i start my to-do lists
hey all!
if you weren’t able to catch it on twitter, here is the newest video in shaving people punting things:) not sure why they deleted it, but there’s a few versions circulating...
oh to be a nun in 1350 enjoying quiet time and gardening and having lots of lesbian sex and then dying at the ripe old age of 36

Life expectancy statistics measure the average age of death. Because infant/childhood mortality was so incredibly high until recently, it really dragged down that average. If you exclude infant/childhood mortality from your statistic, you’ll see that humans (that survive childhood) have consistently lived into their 70s, meaning if you were a woman that survived childhood and never had to go through pregnancy, you may well get a good 50+ years of lesbian sex and gardening!

This has been an important post about Misha’s hands.
there is something poetic about robert pattinson’s past as a vampire coming back to haunt him just as soon as he gets cast as a famous bat
