These stunning watercolors recently came across our desk, and we just had to share them.
They are bound into our copy of Elisha Kane's "The US Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin," published in 1854, which chronicles the First Grinnell Expedition to determine the fate of Franklin's journey into the Northwest Passage in 1845.
Both of Franklin's ships became icebound, and none aboard survived. The shipwrecks were found in 2014 and 2016.

Listen to her.
when you practice kindness and i mean seriously, consciously choose it over and over again, it shows. that kind of selfless love etches itself into your laugh lines, steeps like a teabag until your words are inherently graceful. sometimes we spit out that choice through gritted teeth, but late at night when time stands still, the universe kisses your eyelids and promises you twice the love in return.
The iconic phrase “I’m one hell of a butler” from Sebastian, of Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji 黒執事, comes from the pun on two Japanese phrases using the homonyms akumade あくまで, an adverb meaning “simply,” and akuma de 悪魔で, the word “demon” plus the te-form of desu. One phrase reading “I’m simply a butler,” and the other “I’m a demon and a butler.”
The dance tho...
Resting on the empty bench of nostalgia while observing how everything around it is being renewed.. I stand, and walk forward.. leaving my place on the bench to a passerby. Without looking back, I bid you farewell.
This is amazing. Thank you so much!
Hey everyone!! For my first masterpost, I decided to make one for science resources since I’ll need it for future exams and organizing these things will help me and I hope it’ll help you guys too! I included some social sciences as well as sources that have information about other subjects as well, which are marked by the * symbol. Also, I didn’t list many sources for biology/chemistry/physics categories since there’s more info about them in the “websites” category. Weird organization, I know, but I hope you like it!

if you’re anything like me, working on a computer is a dangerous thing. i’ll get distracted by everything - that one email i should respond to, all the pictures of my dog, tumblr, and so on. I recently discovered an amazing resource to stop that.
it’s called writer’s block, and is free to download!
when you open it, it shows this screen, where you can choose either a time limit or word goal
then when you start, it opens a document that fills the entire screen like this
and you cannot quit the app or open anything else until your word/time quota is filled. i just wrote half of my english speech that i’ve been putting off all morning, and it took only 20 minutes!
so yup, it’s called writer’s block and is free for both mac and windows. enjoy!
