What a loss to spend that much time with someone, only to find out that she’s a stranger.

For those curious: Ross’s Gull (Rhodostethia rosea), a dove-sized gull that lives in a tiny area of the Arctic. Notice the pink wash on the belly.

roominthecastle:

“Janet is evolving so much—and it’s hard and exciting as an actor. There are such strict rules about what she can and cannot do, but at the same time, the possibilities are unending. So on one hand, we found out in season one that her version of crying is staring up at the sky wailing, but then by season two, all of the rules sort of go out the window because she’s starting to feel feelings. The episode ‘Janet and Michael’ was basically just me and Ted getting to play together, and it was incredible because he’s one of the best TV actors and as a scene person, he’s down for whatever and nothing can throw him. I feel beyond lucky to get to work with him. This episode goes through all levels of emotions, so it was too good to be true. We had this really fun week together that was almost like camp. In the episode, Michael admits that the reason he can’t destroy Janet is because she’s his best friend. And in that moment, Ted got teary-eyed, and it shocked me and made me teary-eyed. And then I panicked afterwards because Janet can’t cry! But we’re breaking the rules, and it’s such a gut feeling of knowing yes or no—Janet would or wouldn’t do that. With the emotion of that scene with Ted, it really did take me by surprise, but it still felt true to Janet.” – D’Arcy Carden [x]

People birdwatch for lots of reasons. For me a lot of it is aesthetic: I just think they’re pretty to look at, and it makes me catch my breath when I see them.

The SAPH is one of my favorites. Maybe my favorite favorite. I’m not sure what it is, and this photo doesn’t do it justice. But this bird has it.

“I can remember when I first saw you
You said in my photograph I looked more far away
I laughed and smiled and didn’t say “I am a bit afraid to be here.”
Setting free the anchor and looking past the shore
It’s a sea of horses on ships with no sails, no motors, no oars”

lies:

it calls us like a phantom
it touches like a breeze
it shines its understanding
see the moon smiling

open on all channels
ready to receive
we’re not at the mercy
of your shimmerers and spells
your shimmerers and spells
your shimmerers and spells

(mmmmmm)

and we are of the earth
to her we do return
and the future is inside us
it’s not somewhere else
it’s not somewhere else
it’s not somewhere else

(one dayyyyyy)

one day at a time

(this is jonny’s bit, which I can’t play)

you call upon the people
people have the power

(whoops from crowd)

you call upon the people
people have this power
and the numbers don’t decide
your system is a lie
a river running dry
the wings of a butterfly

and you may pour us away like soup
like we’re pretty broken flowers
we’ll take back what is ours
we’ll take back what is ours

one day at a time

audio sources: zerockerparis and bennygoodtips

update: edited to reflect the better ears of redditor YourAnonymousCitizen, and ida sofar’s video of thom’s performance of the song the following night, in which i think he also switched the first line to “holds us” rather than “calls us”.

I bought the download of A Moon Shaped Pool right away (obviously) because the videos for Burn the Witch and Daydreaming messed me up in the best way, and I’d basically been counting the minutes since Thom played this song in Paris.

I didn’t have time to listen to the album right away, but a quick scan showed no song named Silent Spring on it. And I thought, what? No way. So that was a (small) disappointment.

And then I was driving back from an errand (helping the younger offspring schlep his amps and basses to the recording studio for their first session, as it turns out) and I finally had a chance to listen, and The Numbers came on. And the beginning is just this kind of funky noodling with chattering voices in the background, and it’s cool and all, and I was enjoying it, but then the guitar came in and I was just like

yesssssssss

Because it is on the album, just renamed. And it’s so good.

It’s all so good.

It is time! My new calendar is here. So shiny and chrome.

This post is already super long and annoying so I’ll keep it brief: calendar is free 

because I have no time to handle the printing and shipping, so you can print it on your own. However, if you want to support the starving artist, you can buy some stuff from my Society6 or RedBubble stores. Or you can commission me stuff. Or send me a million dollars, I won’t mind. 

Anyway here’s the download link: http://ift.tt/1XFbFiA

size A3

If there is anything wrong with the link or something just let me know. Cheers.

P.S. Feel free to send me photo of the calendar hanging on your wall :)
