Believe it or not, this is an advertisement for a funeral home.
This is so gorgeous, I would happily frame and hang it in my home.

John Darnielle (“Dar-NYEEELehhhh”)* was born in Bloomington, Indiana (“Bloomington: The Other Bloomington”). This son of the Midwest moved around much as a child before settling in California (“The Golden State,” “Fucking California”). This record is…
Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
Michael Pollan on Science Friday: You just can’t make a good whole grain bread with yeast!
me: Oh, I guess I forgot to tell that to the HELLA DELICIOUS whole grain bread loaves I’ve been making for years!
Michael Pollan, still talking: I’ve made “very few loaves of bread,” but here’s how you should make bread.
…
Shut up forever, Michael Pollan. He and 80% of food justice writers do not know what the fuck they are talking about.
anonymous asked: My grandpa used to say racist shit but some of my cousins and I made it a point to yell at him about it, and he hasn’t in a long time, and my mom says it upset him that we were so bothered by it so he tried to change and did. So, you know, it isn’t fucking futile, don’t assume they’re too old to get it right; if you love them have some faith that they are capable of not being totally shitty.
SOMETIMES YOU CAN FIX RACISTS WITH YELLING
Sometimes you can fix racists with yelling: the most hopeful message that can be gained from all of the internet.
Allie Brosh lays it out more clearly and perfectly than anyone I’ve ever read. I wish people would stop including “welcome back” with their thanks. I’m worried she’ll feel like she has to be back now.
Dear Allie dear loved ones dear world, it can get better. It can even suck better. It’s worth it. Please keep trying and I will keep trying too.

Seein’ this posted all over the damn place, but whatever, it is great.
“Why are you crying?” “I don’t know, it’s just something that’s happening.” This is me, all the time! Allie is incredible for putting all this out there, for describing an experience that is very personal for her and yet incredibly relate-able for me and many people I know who have been through dark periods (and are still working our way through them).
I remember a time when I was terrified to tell anyone, even my closest friends or significant other, that I was depressed. Now I will tell anyone and everyone about it, but it is still really hard to talk about, and most people don’t know how to respond. Especially if you make jokes about it - folks get reeeeeal uncomfortable then. But we have to talk about it, And whether Allie is “back” or just posting this one thing before spending more non-internet time working on her own shit, I’m grateful that her blog exists.
I wish I could find the source for this, to properly credit it. Best thing I’ve seen online forever.
Perfect in every way.
Nathan Fillion, John Barrowman and a snake. [x]What is even going on here.
SPLOOSH.
