Do you like to read? Well this is definitely the Tumblr dump for you. The site's often-funny and generally weird posts are just what a person needs to exercise those reading muscles before attempting any resolutions involving books or book clubs. They're much-preferred to joining that decidedly geriatric group of hobbyists. And probably a lot sassier.

    Face - kelgrid I'm at my dog sitting job in a pretty old countryside farm and the lady who does the cleaning up here told me this morning that there are old tunnels (now closed up) running from the house to the church (1km) and I did not want to know that kelgrid Imagine what could come from there? Ghouls, ghosts, vampires? kelgrid Possibly even Christians which is totally the last things we need in this house.

    There's a still from What We Do In The Shadows for pretty much any scenario. This one just happens to be extra fitting.

    Text - o just-shower-thoughts Saying "Fuck it" actually motivates me more than "You can do this". addignisherlock Because saying "fuck it" includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile "you can do this" focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety thequantumqueer "...the Way of the Warrior is resolute acceptance of death." -Miyamoto Musashi, "The Book of F

    "Saying "fuck it" includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile "you can do this" focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety." Have truer words ever been spoken?

    Yellow - perfectly-imperfect-cats S patricott Follow rosescentimental sorry but if your bed isn't against at least one wall you're not valid heartsdesire456 I used to think this post was stupid because most people like both sides of the bed free but then I realized some psychopaths put their bed like this so not even the headboard is against a wall and this post is about these animals. ranger-truth A single person's bed is generally against 2 walls, a couple's bed is generally against 1 wall, an

    This was a wild ride - even managing to fit in one of our favorite memes, Loss. I hope I never meet anyone who puts their footboard against the wall. That's just…psychotic.

    Text - katevictoriax Boys need to be cuddled more. Put his head in your lap or on your chest. Stroke his hair, scratch his back lightly with your nails, rub his shoulders, kiss him on the top of his head. Anytime, not just when he's feeling down or trying to fall asleep. pinjauski When I did this to my boyfriend for the first time he almost started crying because no one had ever done something similar to him before. And I think that is awfully sad.

    Text - A ushas42 I had a dream last night that they made a new Bond movie, but they didn't say who was playing Bond. Throughout the movie you have no idea which character is really Bond, because he's undercover, duh. And every single character, no matter how minor, was played by somebody famous, so they could all conceivably be Bond. And at the end it turns out Bond was Leslie Jones. knitmeapony 10/10, greatest spy movie of all time scientia-rex TAKE MY MONEY
