I like tumblr because it’s the only social media platform that isn’t like “look how great my life is going right now!” it’s literally just shitposting. it’s the one website that doesn’t destroy your self esteem. no one has ever read a text post that just said “bungus” and been like “wow they have their whole life together and I wish that could be me” and I’m here for it
would you put a discarded fruit sticker on my forehead in whimsical jest yes or no
Hot take maybe but If Melville was alive today he'd set Moby Dick on a oil tanker instead of a whaling ship and it would be a beautiful ode to the world we are destroying just like Moby Dick is a ode to the animal they're killing. The deep black oil from the depths and the white whale. Ahab who lost a leg to a terribly unsafe industry but is still spreading fossil fuel propaganda like a religion. You get me
His self insert would still be married to Queequeeg except now theres a whole section about getting to know Queequegs culture and a beautiful marriage ceremony with a presbiterian pastor and Maori elders giving their blessing and three whole chapters are about the seafood buffet and open bar. What were we talking about

i need everyone to understand the poetry of curly turning a blind eye to anya’s suffering only to be robbed of his autonomy and voice as she was and then forced to observe jimmy’s crimes and the abuse of his own body
Could I just say something real quick?
It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.

Don’t let the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing stop you from doing anything. We start everything from a place of not knowing- walking, reading, dating, working. And through the doing, we learn. We may not get it right the 1st time, but eventually we know what we’re doing.
