To avoid this-- the looking flawed thing-- and the resultant offset to your mental environment, your self-perception, adopt a simple, non-arrogant mindset of: "I'm flawless."
And leave it at that.
Good work. Now lather, rinse, repeat, every minute of every day, and you'll be just fine.
“Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.”
— Diane Arbus
It's called shelter...
From the storm...
the siege...
the onslaught...
A place to warm your bones, your soul...
A place that fills you with comfort...
A place of gathering...
A place that feels like home...
Be exalted in your space.
I understand...
i imagine getting my own place all the time and going down to the grocery store early in the morning before everyone else and to the coffee shop and having a really small place with wide windows and lots of plants and shelves of books and a tiny kitchen where i can make tea and noodles and a bed with a pile of blankets and just a place i can make uniquely my own or maybe a place i could share with someone but i just think about this place a lot idk
Good thing this guy wasn't wearing underwear...
Hey, Buddy ! (Unmute !)
As a culinarian, with over 20 years of experience and training, in a vast array of epicurean options, I have to say that one of my favorite descriptive terms these days is: slurpable.
Long live ramen!
(Or most any other noodle... except udon... fucking udon... big ass, sweaty-tasting, soppy-wet, edible shoelaces...)
Yeah, fuck udon... Hail ramen majesty!
I found this today on a silent, solitary hike around my town, Leesburg, VA. I think it's safe to say, given this person's accommodations under a bridge, that, per the graffiti, that this human's not 'kk'. Far fucking from it. I ventured closer, but saw no one "home," so I said a small prayer and left a $20 bill inside the meager "front door." I hope this person has a better night than the last one. Please pray or, if you're not a spiritual person, but still consider yourself connected to humanity and The Universe, send good thoughts to the Cosmos that this person rises out of her or his current station. And if you happen to come upon something like this in your environs, I hope you have the wherewithal to lend a hand of compassion and charity.
Because we're all in this together...
I love this woman's work. She deftly captured the fiery, beautiful essence of the Highland sprawl of my family's ancestral roots, the Isle of Skye, in glorious Scotland.

Snicker...
Pretty Sure We Earned It Dept.
This just made me actually giggle and snort out loud. A feature length film of "dancing" cat figures, presenting scores of personality spins on that, just ran through my head. Art film? Meh... but it would be fun as fuck to script and film something like that.
Hit me up with any ideas and let's have some literary and cinemagraphic-auteuristic fun... Let's make beautiful weirdness...
lets say, hypothetically, im a cat. a kitty cat. and for the sake of debate, lets say i dance dance dance.
And the Heavens taught me that anything can happen, as long as you stay for the whole show...
The implication here is that I've become lost, somehow. But truth be told, really, you just lost sight of me. I'm still here, waiting, wandering, wistful, until you realize I'm not at your side. [I wonder if that is what Jesus thinks as He waits upon his throne...]
Maybe.
I miss this human...

Painted ponies: fusion between humans and decadent liberty. Run with them if you have strength and nerve. If you've not, then celebrate them from afar; they're worth your adoration.
Luscious locks, truly.
Nothing else need be said. Roll on, and rise above. Period.
And she is, through and through.
“you will be my one and only”
— lianne la havas - unstoppable (via swaggyquotes)
Truth, in its barest, simplest form. Please, for the sake of humanity, resist and rise above. Maintain autonomy, even if it becomes uncomfortable to do so. You'll thank me, and yourself, in decades to come, if you do. Peace, love and collard greens, y'all!
The system works well, as long as it's working. Media is not about entertainment. It is about making money for corporate America. If you stop the flow of money, you stop the flow of power.

It's a painstaking process, but worth the effort, believe me. My mind is devious and evil if not held in check, but, then again, it is part of MY body, my personage, so, given the right amount of dedication and determination, I CAN (and will) control it. Stay tuned for updates, please...
More posts for you, right here!
And things began to become unsettled... The world was suddenly a little more surreal, and, then again, more concrete..
This video was taken by Pete Bodette and Dick Affolter during the summer of 2005 and later was shown on ABC News. The creature in the video is thought to be none other than the famous Lake Champlain Monster. Two retired FBI agents reportedly viewed the video and claimed it was authentic. According to the fishermen, the creature was never fully seen but they did see its nose and head surface occasionally.
Bodette was quoted as saying, “I’m 100 percent sure of what we saw. I’m not 100 percent sure of what it was.”
Love books. Love them with all of your heart. Love them especially if they have the thin, bruised skin of the elderly, the yellowed pages of time's stain, and the scent of adventure mingled with ink. Love books.

Reactionary Question: Could you beat cancer through faith and natural medicine alone?
Yeah, so there's a 65% chance I have metastatic skin cancer, which may have leeched into my bones (and that means a f***ing chance of myeloma: YAY!)...
But I'm not going to dwell in that darkness. Rather, I'd like to know who, of those reading this, thinks that it is possible to defeat cancer through faith and natural medicine. Please say yea or nay in the comments and a brief reasoning why you answered as you did. Cheers!
Honestly, the fires in the Amazon are the results of illicit burning campaigns by Big Corporations seizing land at bargain basement prices after destroying the land. They then raise cheap cattle and soy for enormous markups to the public. You may have heard of these companies: Cargill. Marfrig. JBS. Their soy and beef products are in turn sold to the likes of PepsiCo (which owns Burger King and Pizza Hut), Walmart, Costco, Stop and Shop, and Leclerc. These guys are financed and given monetary ammunition to destroy the lungs of the earth by such humanitarian entities as BlackRock, JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, BNP, and Santander. And these Big Finance juggernauts are connected to the Rothschilds and... wait for it...George Soros. There are you planet killers. Please make sure this gets into hard circulation...
❗ PAY ATTENTION ❗
Something different this time...
The Amazon Rainforest, one of the wettest on Earth, is on fire.
Siberia, on of the coldest places on Earth, is on fire.
That aint normal.
The fact that the Amazon Rainforest is responsible for 20% of the ENTIRE WORLD'S clean air and its been burning for 3 weeks with literally no media coverage is terrifying.
This is life or death for everyone and every animal.
Climate change is for REAL and our planet is burning up. We, humans are the cause of this deadly fever.
Share, show others, let's pay attention to the problem.

Please boost this. I have a daughter and a son, and I can but only imagine how this girl's parents and family feel at the loss of Karlie.
On the night of October 12, 2018, 16-year-old Karlie Gusé skipped a football game to attend a party with her boyfriend where, according to him, they all smoked marijuana. At around 8pm, Karlie called her stepmother, Melissa, to pick her up from a location near a trailer park. However, by the time she had arrived, Karlie already left and was running down a dark road. Melissa eventually caught up with her and Karlie slipped into the backseat, stating she thought Melissa’s car was going to kill her. Throughout the drive home, Melissa noted very paranoid behavior exhibited by her stepdaughter, such as moving seats several times. The strange behavior only progressed when they arrived at their Bishop, California, home, where Karlie resided with her father, stepmother, and siblings. Her mood kept shifting between very paranoid and very excited, and her pupils were hugely dilated, a clear indication that she was under the influence of drugs. The teen was given a salad to eat, which she had spit out and referred to as the ‘’devil’s lettuce’’. Melissa decided to record Karlie’s voice, as she intended to show her what she sounded like under the influence the following morning when she comes down from whatever possible drug that had taken over her mind.
Early on in the investigation, Melissa claimed to have routinely checked up on all the children at around 5:45 AM before going back to bed. She woke up at 9:45 and opened Karlie’s bedroom door, only to discover she wasn’t inside. Nor was she anywhere to be found inside and outside of the home. The only clue left behind was a footprint in the driveway that presumably belongs to Karlie, and the front door open ajar. However, Melissa would later change her story during a Dr. Phil interview where she stated she had slept next to Karlie in bed the whole morning and woke up in a panic when she noticed she was gone.
The missing girl was spotted by three other witnesses on that morning, appearing to be disoriented as she was walking down Ponderosa St. toward Route 6 in California, but other than that, there have been no other confirmed sightings of Karlie. The local police launched a massive search which included foot patrol, helicopters, scent dogs, and off-road vehicles, but all efforts were fruitless; it was as if the teen had vanished into thin air, not leaving a single trace to go on.
Karlie Gusé has light brown hair and blue eyes. She stands at 5′7′’ tall and weighs roughly 110 pounds. She may have been garbed in a white shirt, grey sweatpants, and Vans shoes at the time of her disappearance. If anyone has any information about Karlie Gusé’s whereabouts, please contact the Mono Country Sheriff’s Office at 760-932-7549, option 7.

Reblog this and money will be entering your life this week
Solitary pursuits can be quite rewarding, after all. If I'm meant to be alone at this time in my life, I may as well make the most and best use of the time. Loneliness only kills if you let it, after all.
