Whoah, I assume it wasn’t in Irish when you looked at it? ‘Cause it is when I do. It must match language to IP address I guess. Pretty clever, I wouldn’t have thought there was any more to it than text on a blank page otherwise.
Ostriches gave up flying when dinosaurs died out
lickystickypickyme:
Emus and ostriches became fat, flightless birds after dinosaurs died out and were no longer around to chase them, scientists believe.
An abundance of food and lack of predators following the mass extinction 65 million years saw previously flighted birds put on so much weight that they had to walk instead, according to research by Australian National University.

..of starting another tumblr where each day, or every other day, I will spontaneously record a song of how I feel at the moment or something that came to me, or maybe something that happened to me. Which is how I write songs anyhow, but this will be more freeform, and just basic fun for each day will be different or funny or depressing or what have you, in nature. Just me and my...

My friend Yan is pretty fantastic. He played drums for me when I played my first ever gig as The Booklovers. He is always telling me about Irish bands he thinks are awesome, and usually takes lots of photos as proof.
Last summer, he came over to visit me for a few months. We had planned on forming an all male Riot Grrl band named The Axewounds. We even made a myspace. He...

So, here’s my real confession.
I’m scared of starting therapy. Being on a seemingly unending waiting list is almost comforting, because while I’m not getting any support it makes sense that I feel like shit. But what if I start counselling and it doesn’t help? Then it becomes not the fault of the system, not the fault of medication that isn’t right for me, but my fault. Because I’m...

Hecht, a poet, reflects on the recent suicide of her friend and colleague, poet Rachel Wetzsteon, at age 42.
So I want to say this, and forgive me the strangeness of it. Don’t kill yourself. Life has always been almost too hard to bear, for a lot of the people, a lot of the time. It’s awful. But it isn’t too hard to bear, it’s only almost too hard to bear… I’m issuing a rule....

Any use to you?
There are definitely some things here, I’ll bookmark this. Unfortunately I have a 3,000 word limit, so I can’t talk about everything, but you pointed out some helpful things, if I can figure out where they fit in. Oh, and while I have your attention, irc moar we miss you

I don’t know why I’m posting it here. I guess in the vague hope that someone will bother to read it (despite its TL;DR-ness and incomplete, short-hand sentences) and have some suggestions to make. It’s for my main history class this year, Culture And Politics in America, 1939-1989.

Shiny new CD library
So, just on the off-chance that anyone is reading this who doesn’t know, I’m an active member of the alternative music society in my college. We’ve wanted to start a library for a while, and finally started to get it off the ground this year. The deal with the central societies committee is that you start a library by yourself (which we did with mostly shitty donated CDs) and...

Huh.
I’ve just discovered that if I drag my finger left and right along the bottom of my laptop’s mouse-pad-y thing, my tumblr dashboard goes backwards and forwards between pages. Seems like it’s the only website that does that, so far at least.
Interesting.
