clap-yourhands:
I don’t actually think John Green is that great of an author.
ok, I enjoyed “Looking for Alaska”, in fact I read it in two days and was really quite gripped by it, but I think that’s because Green is good at teen fiction- full of cheese, and for most teens, an exciting idealistic love story, it’s…
Even with those similarities, I felt like the books had very different...

NEED GIFS. SEND HELP.

Anything celebratory/motivational. As always, my only criteria are no GL3E (I have to do that, because I’ll end up Tumblr Savioring my own post), and no How I Met Your Mother. Everything else is cool. The nerdy/obscure are always welcome.

Part one is fairy-taleish except for towards the end; part two only made me angry (not in the “what a horrible book” way, in the “what the fuck did you do THAT for, I’m attached to these characters like HELL and you go around hurting them” way); part three was just… Oh, see gif. It’s…
ahh…well said.

Unfuck Your Habitat: What is Unfuck Your Habitat? →
unfuckyourhabitat:
And why should you do it? Well, our tagline is: “Terrifying motivation for lazy people with messy homes.” But it’s so much more than that. Yes, it involves some yelling and swearing. Yes, I will call you lazy if the situation warrants it. But, it’s about motivation, and support, and…

edwardspoonhands:
I was in a fancy restaurant in Spokane Washington when I realized it. I had, in front of me, a gelatinous block of wheat gluten and nutritional yeast that cost $22 and beyond that, a gorgeous stained glass window that was probably installed in the building more than 100 years ago. On my walk…
Great read about the greatest skill of all: understanding, and why we all...

shapefutures:
That means approximately 7,663 hours in the year are left unaccounted for.
Let’s assume parents don’t see their kids until 5pm. This might not be a proper assumption in a world where so many parents have to work two jobs just to make ends meet, but let’s assume. So, two hours a day, for 6 days a week, for 52 weeks. That leaves 7,039...

robot-heart-politics:
Outraged Mom is scandalized because her son’s teacher told her middle school students that she was a lesbian after vicious rumors started flying about her personal life. As far as I can tell, the teacher didn’t go into any sort of details about her sex life or anything that would be even remotely out of bounds for a straight person to talk about, but Outraged...

navigatefreedom asked you:
How am I supposed to motivate myself when I have the wide world of tumblr sitting here?
Dear navigatefreedom,
You are fortuitously named! This might be my shortest answer yet, and perhaps the single most important one I write.
I realize that I said before that…
so when she says she is turning the internet off, she does LITERALLY mean...
