Emma’s reaction though

Sometimes it freaks me out how much like their characters they are. Emma’s very concerned, Dan saves the day, Rupert laughs.

I’m never not reblogging this. They’re just so damn cute…

tytodiem:

“It is as beautiful as it is rare. A frost flower is created on autumn or early winter mornings when ice in extremely thin layers is pushed out from the stems of plants or occasionally wood. This extrusion creates wonderful patterns which curl and fold into gorgeous frozen petioles giving this phenomenon both its name and its appearance.”

“While you slept 45,000 kids died of starvation and malnutrition. What’s worse is you don’t give a shit! And what worse is that you are more concerned that I said ‘shit’ than the 45,000 kids that died last night. And that’s what’s wrong with our Christianity. We’ve taken our Christian faith, which calls us to be passionate among the poor and the oppressed and to sacrifice everything we have to heal the sufferings of others, and we’ve twisted it to a morality that makes sure people don’t use four letter words.”

I forgot how much I love this quote.

shield your eyes: The smell of space

shield your eyes: The smell of space:

Few people have experienced traveling into space. Even fewer have experienced the smell of space. Now this sounds strange, that a vacuum could have a smell and that a human being could live to smell that smell. It seems about as improbable as listening to sounds in space, yet space has a…

“

it’s like im some pane of glass,
and you some beautiful beam,
striking my surface,
proving me unclean.

you refract on my scratches,
and scatter through my soul,
then carve out the bruises,
making me whole.

i’m soft to your brush,
and you smooth me before,
painting a new frame
of outlook, and awe.

i long for the time, the moment, the place,
where my body with shine,
with the light of your face,
unhindered and now completely thine.

dannieflou:

An unexpected side-effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiders webs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before, but they also reported that there were less mosquitos than they would have expected, given the amount of standing water that was left. Not being bitten by mosquitoes was one small blessing for people that had lost everything in the floods. (© Russell Watkins)

“I think it’s glorious to be nervous. Being nervous is great! How often do we get nervous on a daily basis? Being slightly nervous means you care, and you’re alive, and you’re taking some kind of risk. Hooray for being nervous!”
