This is so poetic, I can’t stop watching it.
Donald Glover talking about the comments he received during his campaign to be the next Spider-Man (x)
“I was talking about it with Dan Eckman, who directed my Bonfire video. Can you imagine that trailer? That would be dope. Like it makes sense… a poor black kid in Queens. Like it just fits.”He woulda been a great fuckin’ Spider-Man.
Oh man…this can still happen, right?

What’s so strange, is that I’ve only been here since last September. Seattle has been my city, Seattle remains my city. Those pine trees, that mountain that claims the sky.
I wasn’t sure about Boston at first. It took me a few months and slowly but surely I began to connect, feeling all the uneven side walks and every single pot hole and realize that this is my city, for the next five to six years.
I’m choked up at each post about the marathon. Tears readily form in my eyes. Not only was this an attack on my city, but such an attack on a pure form of humanity, a desire to better one’s self, a yearning and training to reach what seems to be an unreachable goal. The distance of a marathon is long and arduous. People came from all over the world to run this race.
My heart breaks with my city tonight.
And yes, we will rise. Yes, I’ll be attending whatever vigils or memorials are set up. Yes I will probably cry as I read more stories of those who witnessed the bombings. And yes, there were hundreds who ran into the fray, saving those who were horrifically wounded. The good do outnumber those who are evil. I still believe and will always believe that.
I think my prayers for Boston tonight range for the traumatized, the wounded, those with amputated limbs, those who have passed, the BPD, and this entire city that at once experienced a terrible upheaval.
This is just a range of thoughts. But oh my city, my city.

“Patton Oswalt (via wellthatsjustgreat)Boston. Fucking horrible.
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, “Well, I’ve had it with humanity.”
But I was wrong. I don’t know what’s going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here’s what I DO know. If it’s one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we’re lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they’re pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, “The good outnumber you, and we always will.”

Safe and sound, but deeply saddened
Tumblr family and friends, I am safe. I was at home and Harvard campus today, so no where near the Boston Marathon. I’m still waiting to hear back from all those I care about here. This is horrific.

Doug Perrine captured these stunning photographs in the Maldives. The particular location (Vaadhoo Island) has a concentrated population of bioluminescent phytoplankton. Bioluminescence is a natural chemical reaction which occurs when a micro-organism in the water reacts with oxygen. When washed ashore by the tides, the phytoplankton’s chemical energy is turned into light energy, illuminating the waves.

I would not mind living in one of these…full time. Maybe even buy a few and connect them! I mean, I’m not even that tall, so it’s not THAT impractical…
WANT.
