get in losers we're killing caesar.

Also thinking about how at my first day of public school my mom packed me a boiled egg because I was in my boiled egg phase (ate one boiled egg a day for like four months) and she forgot which eggs were boiled and which were not. So when I opened my lunch the first day of school it was covered in egg. And I started crying and the aide for the autistic kid in class had to take me to the lunch line and buy me a lunch that was not a raw egg. And I was very dismayed because public school was already ruining my routine and now I didn’t even get my daily egg. And the aide was very nice and gave me tater tots which were not an egg but it was exciting to buy lunch.

Happy World Hippo Day to all who celebrate!

the world is incredible. there are girls in this world, and there are also dogs. you can put melted cheese on any type of potato.  sometimes flowers grow even when nobody is there to water them. right now on this same planet where we live there are people who are in love with each other kissing each other on the nose. emotions and colours are both things that exist. everything is so great

God my favorite thing about the ancient world though is that they were so dedicated to making things pretty just like us. I love seeing the marginalia in bibles and the pictures they commissioned and the letters they spent extra on. I love that we wrote poetry two thousand years ago and put on theater and made art. I love that pots and bottles and tombs and beds and cribs have designs on them I love the graffiti on ancient walls I love the fact that they danced and sung and made art just like we do!!!! We are the same we are the same we are the same

happy world hippo day to all who celebrate!!!!!

Happy (almost) World Hippo Day!

Hi People of Tumbler! World Hippopotamus Day, February 15th, is coming up soon, and I wanted to share this super dope holiday with you! I have been celebrating World Hippo Day since I was a kid, and it’s a day that’s a lot of things for a lot of people. Many who celebrate of use the day to learn about the majestic nature of nature’s best creature: the hippopotamus, and to others it's a day to advocate for hippos, or an anti-Valentine’s Day of sorts. To me, it is all of these things, and it is also a day to spread hippo joy. Every year I try to spend the day handing out tiny hippos to random people, and it seems to make them happy. I think that hippos would be happy to know that they make people happy.

This year, World Hippopotamus Day falls during a charity livestream fundraiser called the Project for Awesome (AKA the P4A) that is held by some really cool internet people like Hank and John Green. The P4A raises money for organizations like Save the Children and Partners in Health that work hard to decrease world suck, and just generally make the world a better place. Due to the US gov's pause in USAID, the global fight against preventable & treatable diseases like TB, HIV, & Malaria is suffering a huge setback and now more than ever Nonprofits dedicated to fighting these diseases need support. More info on the P4A and fighting global inequity can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBjQgizWRBA . If you are able to please look into donating to these wonderful causes or to the P4A, or spread awareness about them. It's what the hippos would want. Project for Awesome Website Link

40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.
