Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared. — J.K. Rowling

So…

I finally looked up the cast for Catching Fire because I’m rereading the book, and Jenna Malone is EXACTLY who I pictured for Johanna…. I’m just excited. Ignore me.

It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart

Anne Frank

Anne Frank was born today in 1929. This quote is from her diary, “The Diary of a Young Girl” which was written while her family was in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She died in 1945 and her diary was published in 1947 by her father, Otto Frank. You can get a copy of her diary at the library.

Random fact of the day

fluffmugger:

“Blood is thicker than water”, when used in the context of family over friends, is in fact a wildly incorrect bastardisation.

The true, full quote is The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” and refers to relationships forged by choice holding deeper meaning than those of mere biology.

this urn will turn you into a tree after you die

You can choose what kind of tree you want to become

Idk I just find this beautiful

just imagine cemeteries looking like this

image

a forest of living, changing, beautiful trees. I think a tombstone holds much more finality in death than a tree. It’s like you are living on symbolically through something greater than yourself.

this is a serious post about how much I want this. I’ll make sure my family knows.

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen…. Cause people can still visit your tree, plus all the obvious environmental reasons. Beautiful.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.

Also, lol at the Muslim comment. “I had to literally wait, like 2 minutes because this dirty brown person wouldn’t break their religious code of conduct!!”

Any store that has the guts to do this, I will promise to shop with for the rest of my life.

I didn’t think I could love Target anymore than I already do….

And people who say these ignorant and disgusting remarks are in for a rude awakening in the next few years… Change is a comin’!

“What’s your greatest struggle right now?”
“Building a fence in my back yard.”
“Oh c’mon.”
“I’m serious. I married my best friend, I live on the Atlantic Ocean, I’ve played music my entire life. But this fence is giving me trouble!”

I want this life.
