Despite the strenuous attempts of Late Stage Capitalism to ruin the whole experience, I goddamn LOVE an airport. They combine three of my favorite things: travel, liminal space, and having a clearly delineated List of Tasks.

This is why I don't feel the creeping nihilism today. I feel grief, but by God, I also feel inspired. We are the beneficiaries of every legend who ever lived. Are we willing to pick up the yoke?

guess i'm crying about fiction and fanfiction at 5pm on a monday. no, not any particular story, but how it's all of us saying hey, this is what it feels like
screenshot of a tumblr post of a photo of a book post by vexheart book says "borders and divides. There are large, glamorous industries around stories; the book industry, the movie industry, the television industry, the theatre industry. But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I'm say-ing? Does it also feel this way to you?" author - Kazuo Ishiguro, My Twentieth Century Evening and Other Small Breakthroughs

Aw fuck A genuine loss. The man was a legendary actor who never stopped doing good work AND did so much outside of film from his animal rights to civil rights, while remaining a lovely, charming man who seemed genuinely happy with his lot in life. RIP to a true icon
