“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do.
To make others less happy is a crime.
To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts.
We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances.
We must try.”
— Roger Ebert, “Go gentle into that good night.”
I finally made the meme I've had in my head for over a year
@batshit-auspol congrats ur famous
I really, really REALLY love Izzy’s arc this season and I love him embracing his queerness so earnestly, so here’s a quick sketch <3
the creators of Ted Lasso really said we’re going to make a football show using every rom-com trope and beat not about an actual romantic pairing but rather to tell a story about grown ups becoming better people through love, openness, mutual support, and therapy.
I am Philosopher Under The Sea. Lord of the crepe. Bringer of Us retroactively. Fear me, for I'm just exceptionally good for you.
New tag game! I'll start:
I am Pluto. Lord of the lord. Bringer of the lord. Fear me for I am not in the same place.

Do you have any manta ray info you'd like to share? Or any other type of sea critter you're intrigued by? :3
Manta Ray facts!!!
Their wingspan can be up to 30 feet across and they can weigh up to two tons!
Despite their massive size, they can leap nearly 10 feet out of the water (imagine having one of those flying through the air at you)
Every manta has a unique pattern of spots on their underbelly, which has long been used to id individuals as it was considered as unique and unchanging as a fingerprint. However, new evidence suggests that the pattern can shift as the manta ages, meaning we may have been counting the same individuals more than once, overestimating their population.
They have long been hunted for their gill plates, which apparently have medicinal properties, but sadly the species are now threatened due to overharvesting and other human activity.
Mantas are high intelligent, potentially one of the smartest fish in the ocean! They are extremely curious of humans and frequently interact with divers, and can even recognize themselves in a mirror!
Sea animals, hopepunk, fantasy, queerness, and a bit of philosophy
