“ Time seems to be moving quickly, maybe because things are changing. And they’re always changing. And that’s a good thing, but it also causes me to think back on all the things that have changed, and how each still moment between all of the changing things has been a thing in itself. Something to appreciate, something to learn from, something awesome, beautiful, terrible, scary, whatever it was. I am not one for much nostalgia but sometimes I feel a glimpse of it when it comes to this feeling that we’re all just planets in the same orbit and sometimes those orbits intersect for a while, and then the orbits move away, or just change angles, like Pluto, and it feels like we should all be appreciating every moment more than we are. Being real in every friendship, trading war stories, sharing the same cup, highs and lows, swearing to die for each other, so that it’s apparent that we are all really on the same ship together, and we know it, and will never forget. That’s how I feel about people, even if we don’t feel that close all the time, I know that at the core of each of the people in my life is this shared boat that we’re all on and it’s too cheesy and idealistic to mention it unless you’re going through really tough times or just really drunk, but it’s there and it’s something worth writing songs about and embarking on adventures for and howling for as you leave the shore. ”

Just one more reason they never should have stopped making this show.
The winter is always a bit of a slow time in terms of projects on and around the blue house. It’s cold, often wet and we just don’t get the long days which so help DIY projects. However, here is a…

hip hop artists announce their names at the beginning of songs because in the states, radio stations (some not all i’m assuming) charge to announce or back announce the names of songs.
i think this makes huge sense - why not bundle your identifier IN the song/actual artefact itself, rather than relying on related data.

The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes.“What you do makes me cry at night.” Fuck me, this is harsh. And deservedly so.
Watch this. Don’t think about whether to - just watch it. I am heartened that the next generation are this motivated but what more should we all be doing to help them and ourselves? I don’t think recycling cuts it anymore.
