Why isn’t Mister Ed on Netflix. I’m sure there’s a very reasonable explanation. It would calm my heart to know that explanation.

“

Dan Harmon on humanity (reposted from http://flavorwire.com/370094/the-best-of-dan-harmon-with-a-microphone-at-communicon):

“There are two kinds of people in this world. There are the people that will have you think that there are two kinds of people in this world, and there are the ‘good’ people. There is no good, there is no evil, there is just a war going on between the people that want you to think there’s a war going on and the people that know there doesn’t have to be one.”

“There are two facts about humanity and they’re both undeniable. You are reminded of them every second of every breath you take. One is that we are separate. You’ll never be able to escape that. The other is that we’re absolutely together. Those two things are swirling and swirling and swirling around, and you have a choice with every breath you take and every sentence you make to celebrate one side or the other. You can celebrate the separation or you can celebrate the union, and you can forgive yourself for celebrating the separation, because that is what you are. You wake up in bed as not part of some blob of humanity. You wake up as John Smith or Kyle Davidson. You wake up as an individual, but all of those moments where that gets painful fall back on the fact that you are part of everyone around you.”

“I think the most important thing you can know is that you want to be a part of all the other individuals. You don’t want to be alone. There’s a personality disorder for every single thing you can name under the sun. There are people who put entire jars of peanut butter up their butt. There are people who are sexually attracted to cats. But there is no one who wants to be alone.”

”

Do you ever hang out with two people who are together and think “I could never ever date either one of you.”

I mean this in the most loving way possible, but shopping for clothes for Jana is a lot like what I imagine shopping for a grown up but still child sized version of Francine from Arthur.

Charles Duke

This was the first photograph I ever bought, a print from the original NASA negative. I looked at it every day for years.

The astronauts on the moon had to contend with quarantine, not just for them, but for their stuff. Nothing could touch the surface, or be exposed to raw atmosphere without extensive decontamination.

Charles Duke brought a photo of his family with him and like everything else they carried, it needed to be isolated from the environment with plastic. It’s hard to say exactly what motivated him to photograph it lying on the surface of the moon, but it’s not that hard to say. If you looked up and saw the earth 250,000 miles away, when you looked back down, you’d want to see something close.

Among the other remarkable aspects of this photo, it made me realize that all the other NASA photos of the moon’s surface were actually color photographs. It was the moon that was monochrome, not their film.

I always try to picture Duke looking down and seeing his family there, covered in plastic, and wondering whether it made them feel closer, or further away. Of all the photos in the world that address the fragility and vulnerability of human life, this is my favorite. It’s in contrast to the hubris, genius, and accomplishment of considering that vulnerability while dressed in a spacesuit and stomping around on the motherfucking moon.

There was a big print of this at the American Museum of History and I stared at it for a long time.

Coworker #1: Would you rather have a horse or a racecar?

Coworker #1: Would you rather have a horse or a racecar?
Me: A horse, definitely
Coworker #1: You don't want to drive fast and run into other drivers?
Me: No not at all. That sounds so unnecessarily dangerous for something I wouldn't even enjoy --
Coworker #1: UNAMERICAN. You are not American! You supposed to be brave! Americans are brave! Land of the free, home of the brave!
Coworker #2: It's okay, she wouldn't be able to see over the steering wheel anyway.

These were for my final project for my Feminist Thought class last semester. Not my best work, as they’re all hand stitched and I don’t currently own an iron, but I’m still pretty proud of these bad ass bitches.

SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR VAGILLOWS

I bought baby food for the first time tonight.

It was for my cat.

I can’t even pretend that sounds like anything but the playing out of the normal time line of my life
