on my bus ride home (i’m going home for passover) there was a lil old orthodox jewish man and his DOG had a kippah and tallis!!! so i asked where he got kippot for dogs, and he was like “i ordered it online!! it’s her 13th birthday so we’re throwing her a Bark Mitzvah!!!”
Oooh, I saw this in a Vsauce video! This is called Lahaina Noon and it literally only happens in Hawaii, a couple of times a year around late spring and early summer, generally in May and June.
The even has led to this sculpture, called Sky Gate, by Isamu Noguchi
Y'all think being in a goth relationship means wearing white makeup together but Mary Shelley lost her virginity on her mother’s grave so maybe step it up.
Mary Shelley carried her husband’s heart around and lived in a crypt after he died. No one will ever be as goth as Mary Shelley.
She also wasn’t carrying around, like, a mummified heart. Her husband’s heart had calcified, meaning it had grown bone within itself and possibly around itself, and it is this heart of bone which she carried. When she was young she carried it wrapped in a silk pouch, and when older it was kept in her desk, wrapped in a page from his poem Adonais. Adonais was one of his last poems, in which a deceased poet’s subjects (nature, Spring, the stars) mourn him, and long to join him in death. Then the narrator tells them do not mourn, for he has gone beyond where the minds and emotions of humans matter, to the Natural Spirit that is the source of all beauty.
Of his poems, it is this which she wrapped his heart in. There is none. more. goth.
It’s sad to realize that peak goth was hit so long ago
I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I don’t know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter “Hold on “ he yelled to a coworker.
I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says “I made it a large”.
That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I… I’m alive. I’ll make it through.
Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.
Thank you man at McDonalds.
The milkshake saved my life
I hope you all can read this and remember to be kind
The smallest of gestures can save a life. My Mum answered her phone when I called and I am alive today because of that.
I’m glad you’re here.
It’s a phone call, a milkshake, a friend.
I feel like I shouldn’t keep reblogging this but when I do more people see what kindness can do…. I don’t know. Love everyone as yourself.
Nah, keep rebloging it. It gives hope.
the smallest things make a difference. i know it does. from experience.
a smile, a glance, a milkshake, a small ‘good morning’, ‘good night, ily’ - it helps.
donkey says “really really” to shrek when reassuring him that he likes him, shrek later says “really really” to donkey when reassuring him that he’ll help him cross the bridge to fiona’s castle, and then shrek says “really really” to fiona when he tells her he loves her
in conclusion, donkey taught shrek to love and be loved
