Now if only the show wasn’t slow and boring.

I mean, I applaud the representation A+ job there. Just, you know, learn about pacing and keep the freaking plot moving.

John Woolman was an 18th-century American Quaker who was ardent about the abolition of slavery before abolitionism was really a thing. His friends found him kind of embarrassing because he would do things like refusing to use silverware at his friends’ houses because silver was mined by slaves, or paying his friends’ slaves for their work when they served him dinner. But he was successful in persuading some of his friends to free their slaves, and in retrospect his actions look heroic because he brought abolitionism onto the map.                                                                                                                                                         

I once assumed that Woolman was the kind of person who found it easy to do socially provocative things — I think we’ve all met That Guy at some point. But when I read his account of his life, he actually describes finding it really difficult and embarrassing to break social convention. He did it despite his discomfort, because he believed it was really important.

tbh I liked Anathem and it helped lift me out of my critical theory morass.

… okay you have no right to complain about bad didactic nerd fiction ever again

(I kid, I kid.  I just didn’t understand the appeal of that book at all.  I know a lot of people who like it though)

Most people don’t have the background in philosophy and physics you have and probably weren’t annoyed by the things that annoyed you.

Personally, I liked the worldbuilding and the idea of Science Monks.

Here’s Why the Bills Don’t Get Paid

ADDers tell me they are busy all day. Great, but busy doing what? People with ADD often tell me they feel like they are always busy with tasks, always doing, and still never accomplishing anything.

If you’re too young to pay bills, then think of this video as “Here’s Why the Homework Doesn’t Get Done”. It’s just as applicable.

Shakespeare in het Jiddisch: Sonnet XVIII

robertskmiles:

droomverloren:

Zol ikh dikh tsu a zumer-tog farglaykhn?

Bist milder, liblikher in yedn zin;

Durkh Frilings blitn roye vintn shlaykhn,

Un kurts iz fun dem zumer der termin:

Oftmol tsu heys dos oyg fun himl laykht,

Oft iz zayn goldener glants fartunklt gor,

Un oft dos sheyne fun der sheynkayt vaykht

Durkh tsufal, enderung fun der natur:

Dokh eybik lebn vet dayn zumers prakht,

Un vos du sheyns farmogst vet eybik vayln;

S’vet toyt nit hobn iber der keyn makht,

Vayl bist fareybikt in di eybike tsayln;

    Vi lang nokh mentshn otemen, oygn zen

    Lebt mayn gedikht, un du vest nit fargeyn.


William Shakespeare (1564-1616)


Vertaald uit het Engels in het Jiddisch door Abraham Asen


Sonnet XVIII


Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed,

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed:

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,

Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,

    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,

    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Never realised how much Yiddish looks like rot13

It mostly look like Dutch and German. I can read this with some effort.

why glasses suck 

  • they’re always dirty. like w hat the fuck what is coming into contact with my face? why are they so fucking dirty? wha t the fuck 
  • 3D movies 
  • dont ever fuckin lose them bc good luck tryin to find ANYTHING without them on 
  • roller coasters 
  • idk why but like?? children really like to take them off of you??? and play with them??? wh y 
  • the rain 
  • steamy bathrooms/kitchens/anywhere with an unnecessary abundance of steam  
  • tfw u can feel ur prescription getting weaker on you 

Children taking them off is a feature, not a bug.

The rest is true.

Roller coasters are either terrifying or blurry.
