When was the last time you saw someone actually writing a letter?
Not application letters, I mean a nice, warm letter to a loved one
*Tring tring!* “POST! POST!!”
For some reason, the six year old me would get excited to hear the arrival of a post. I was always eager to receive letters. The kind old post man would pretend like all those letters or invitation cards or bills were actually addressed to me; he’d hand them to me with an impressed look in his face saying “Arey! Look how much letters you got today!”
As years passed I became busy in studies, career and never realised that the concept of sending or receiving a letter had disappeared from the back of my mind. Until one day.. One day, my husband showed me a video from the Malgudi Days series that I felt nostalgic about my younger, somewhat dumber self.
Thats when I realised that I’ve never seen a postman for a few years now. Especially after the rise of telephones and mobiles, no one ever sends snail-mails. Even when there’s the occasional bill or post, the postmen don’t have their usual smiles or kind words anymore. Being a postman has become just another job.
Here’s the episode from Malgudi Days for the curious :) The episode is in Hindi but the Youtube CC subs work fine
So when I watched that particular episode from Malgudi days, I was touched. It tells the story of a postman who knew everyone in that small village, he was friends with everyone, talked to everyone. He spoke encouraging words to the jobless ones who sent applications everyday and rejoiced with the family that had some good news from relatives of another another town, he shared the sadness of the ones whose loved ones were having a hard time in another village, in short he was an integral part of everyone’s life…
There’s one house/family in particular that the story focuses on. The postman has seen their daughter grow up from being a toddler to a girl ready to get married. He himself brought the letter that the groom’s side wanted to meet them and the good news that they have agreed for the marriage. He with all enthusiasm delivers the invitation cards all over the village and rejoices with the family on the wedding day.
As he’s about to leave the post office to partake in the wedding, a telegram arrives for that particular family. Now, in those times when there were no phones, a telegram almost always meant bad news, an accident or a death. The postman’s sixth sense tingles and he knows, delivering a letter of bad news will mean disaster for the wedding so he does the forbidden and opens the letter. As expected, a close relative has passed away.
The postman, withholds the news, not telling anybody until the next day. The family understands why he did not tell the news and their respect for him increases. They are grateful for him for not spoiling the wedding mood and the family do not report him.
The story was quite lovely and it was a trip down memory lane to see the old locations and houses. It certainly was fun — writing letters and receiving too! I’m excited to see new technology that the future holds and to look back at the past with nostalgia.
This is a dog running around out neighborhood. Everytime I drive near him he gives me this look... Or at leat it feels like it.
Get Excited!
I’m in Texas!! :)
In the meantime, I wanted to chat a bit about School Bus Graveyard.
I just saw this and knew it’d be Logan! I nearly had to search up, “School Bus Graveyard Nerd Guy”. I need more of Logan and “I don’t have vocals” man.
I can’t deal with this man….
Wait a min, I’ve handled 4x drunk people with this energy…
I can totally handle him as I am the resident sober mom friend and plan on being forever more.
I think he might be trying to induce heart attacks. 💓💓💓💓💓
Omg the one with the sweater and the suit affect me in a way that just is incomparable with the others. Jungkook, what do you want from me dude? You go on live saying, “you think you can handle me?”….
Um to that I say, dude, wait till you see the energy and how much life I have in me. you think you seen the power of Army and people with alcohol, well this sober person might be your greatest challenge.
Seriously tho my friends are low key scared of the energy I possess when I choose to. (I’m mostly calm, so no worries) 😉

Everybody's avatars (would that even be the right word in this context?) look so good!
Thank you @trainwrecker for the tag! I had such a fun time! (also, woah, nice art! I wish that I could draw like that (practice, i know... but still!))
I was going for a Percy-Shelley-in-Italy type of look, and I think it worked out pretty well! I just wished that the coat could turn brown or a deep shade of blue or green.
I am knee-deep in the French Revolution fandom rn, but I'll get around to posting more about the Romantics and Italy at some point.
Tagging... ummmmm... @s-ashaesthetic because they helped me with Saint-Just's name, @robesmoulins because I love their art, and @thelanterneattorney because I NEED to see Camille's take on this (this is solely if y'all feel up to it, of course).

I was struggling to find a case for my obscure cell phone model, and finally found one on Amazon... THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR OWN PICTURE FOR!!!! So I drew something and tried to go all-out on it and ended up so happy with how it turned out and AIUHOFIWENOGIJSOIEJLKAFSDLI

Lightyear...
I will be very disappointed.😞
There's a likely chance that I'm being an idiot like usual and haven't noticed this little detail while everyone else probably has, but if you tap the t on the upper left hand corner while on your tumblr home screen it will light up in different colors before going back to normal.
This is the video that has a way to encapsulate & stabilize peptides (it's written in text in the screen so the subtitle scanners through the transcripts can't get it) besides other things.
STRANG AEONS (*poke....poke poke*) hey 👋.... just in case you wanted to do more like the study versus this reddit post

Like the octopi, our destiny is to become what we think, to have our thoughts become our bodies and our bodies become our thoughts. This is the essence of the more perfect Logos envisioned by the Hellenistic polymath Philo Judaeus—a Logos, an indwelling of the Goddess, not heard but beheld.
Hans Jonas explains Philo Judaeus's concept: A more perfect archetypal logos, exempt from the human duality of sign and thing, and therefore not bound by the forms of speech, would not require the mediation of hearing, but is immediately beheld by the mind as the truth of things.
