When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

"Crusader march." Fucking hell. This book absolutely changed me back in the day. Just cannot read that word "crusader" the same way ever again. When people tell you who they are, believe them, I guess.

Topsfield: every year Fair brings enormous traffic problems. Also Topsfield: every year we will place 2 tons of concrete barriers in front of the rail trail, because we need to maximize convenience for automobiles.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

For a brief shiny moment IKEA sold the blue panniers pictured below for $5 bucks each, and they are so very perfect for grocery shopping. Clips that let the panniers go perfectly from the front rack to inside the shopping cart.

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it? 😭

Casablanca, the scene where actual French refugee Madeline LeBeau is singing the anthem of a nation that nobody on earth knows if it will ever exist again, because they had the audacity to make a WW2 movie before the war ended

One of the great things about the Icelandic Punk Museum - other than its location, a disused public restroom complete with all fixtures - is just how much is devoted to all the various incarnations of Björk.

“Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or getting vaccinated against not one but two diseases.”

“And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! All shall love me and despair!”

Elizabeth Holmes looking absolutely terrifying
