"For asexuals, sex is like… a donut. When we see a donut, we do not have the urge to eat the donut. This does not necessarily mean we hate the donut, or think the donut is disgusting— many of us even like donuts. But we never have any urge to walk over there and eat it. Demisexuals will have the urge to eat the donut only if it their absolute favorite kind of donut in the whole world, and greysexuals sometimes will have the urge to get the donut, and sometimes not. Celibates are on diets."

“Our story is the story of the universe. Every piece of everyone, of everything you love and everything you hate, of the thing you hold most precious, was assembled by the forces of nature in the first few minutes of the life of the universe, transformed in the hearts of the stars or created in their fiery deaths.
And when you die, those pieces will be returned to the universe in the endless cycle of death and rebirth. What a wonderful thing it is to be part of that universe. And what a story, what a majestic story.”
Professor Brian Cox, Wonders of the Universe.
That awkward moment when the person quoted in these gifs is someone you’ve had a crush on since high school. That person just so happens to be a physicist from a different country.

Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?
Awesome.

This reading is for Jena, who just wanted a general reading.
The Hanged Man (Inverse): Lack of sacrifice, unwillingness to make the necessary effort, preoccupation with the ego, false prophecy. Since I know you, I’m pretty sure this isn’t about you, unless it’s talking way in the past. My guess it’s more someone close to you who wasn’t willing to make the effort to move forward when it’s what you needed. Or it’s the card of your past, and because of being this way you’re now more motivated to do what you need.
The Chariot: Perseverance, major effort, possible voyage, riding the crest of success, adversity to be overcome, vengeance, need for attention to details, urgency to gain control of one’s emotions. This card suggests that one can achieve greatness when physical and mental powers are maintained in balance. Here’s your general advice and there’s a lot of it as this card is pretty loaded with importance. You feel really strongly about your goals, your work, your life, what’s right and wrong. By focusing yourself, you can accomplish anything you set yourself on. Not to be punny, but this card proves that you are driven to get what you need to be successful.
The Knight of Wands: Departure, a journey, advancement into the unknown, alteration, flight, absence. I think for you this is the goal that you’re looking forward to. Moving on after graduation and how things will be different. You have things you want to do, places you want to go, and you are prepared to do what you need to get there.
First off, I feel like you always use the cat deck when you read me. I’m more than okay with this.
Second off, I’m really glad that this reading reflected how I’ve been feeling recently. I’ve been super focused and motivated and I feel like there are people around me who aren’t doing their part to allow that to happen?
Third off, let’s discuss this during our next skype date? Maybe tonight (Monday) or Wednesday night?
Fank You!
Taken from the Honest Girl Scouts campaign. For a campaign trying to get people /not/ to buy cookies and /not/ support the GSUSA, this is doing an awful lot to suddenly make me want /to/ support the GSUSA. (and I’m saying this a a former Girl Scout of about 6 years who hasn’t bought cookies in years because they’re too expensive).
I see so much acceptance here, and especially in a time in children’s lives where acceptance is so important, taking that away from them is just cruel.
oh man I really want to buy girl scout cookies now
Hold up though, aren’t these all good things? They were last time I checked.
These are good things and I would love to buy some Girl Scout cookies right now.
Wait, I wasn’t taught these things in my troop. Wow, girls today are so lucky to be learning things that I didn’t learn until I was in my 20’s. Supporting them by buying cookies and lots of them
This is so great. I had no idea their organization was so progressive. Now I don’t feel guilty buying an obscene amount of cookies.
bahahaha, I’m buying all the cookies this year.

Stubby, the stray on the left was the most decorated dog in WWI. He is the only dog ever in United States history to achieve the rank of Sergeant due to extreme heroism. He was cared for and loved by the men in his regiment. The frenzied animal on the right has been systematically tortured to make it fight for people’s entertainment. They’re both Pit Bulls.
They could be Golden Retrievers. They could be St. Bernards. They could be Chihuahuas. There’s only one real difference between Pit Bulls and other dogs.
The abuse.

I wish I could explain the sense of belong I feel every time I open Tolkien’s books.
