Because it turns out I like reading when other people reblog stuff and comment in the tags, so I guess I'm hopping on the train.

Me: please let me sleep
The part of my brain that stores words I’ve heard but don’t know the exact meaning of: Daguerreotype
#oh is this someone else's experience of being alive?#oh thank gods I'm not alone#my brain mostly doesn't do this when I go to sleep anymore -#took a lot of training -#but yeah this is like a running ticker tape of my brain during every waking day#did I mention that disco elysium was very relatable?

This is the most devastatingly accurate birding meme I've ever seen, bar none
#okay but the thing is#it's true#this is So Fucking Accurate#gods I hate killdeer they're such little shitbirds#but the woodpecker?#yes#the bald eagle?#yup#the bufflehead?#absolutely#they're such sweethearts#that specific species of parrot that I can't remember the name of - as I understand it -#110%#secretary bird?#wholly believeable#and so on

nothing in the world is mundane someone spent years of their life studying and thinking about culverts and building upon the countless work of others and our historical collected knowledge of fluid dynamics and construction materials just so that your shit doesn't get flooded all the time and you dont even think about it! have you ever considered the culvert really? and its like. fucking everything is like this
#there was a thought I had#standing on a bridge over a river in Yosemite#that you could spend your whole life studying that spot#studying the fluid dynamics and why the river eddies and flows the way it does#studying the composition of the sand and stone and the minerals in the water#the way the river rises and falls with the seasons#what creatures drink there and their population patterns#what garbage makes its way into the water#the way the structure of the bridge impacts the erosion of the banks#and that really is just life isn't it?#one of the things we take so much for granted#is the way that there is So Much To Know#and the way that every single piece of the lives we live currently#sits on a foundation of lifetimes of knowledge#the chair that I'm sitting on - how much have we learned about materials science#that went into designing the shitty pseudo wood?#what about the way that we manage forests to make the materials#the complex economics of shipping#the fact that someone went out of their way to design and iterate and design and iterate#and that's decades of knowledge and study built-upon too#...also underrated reason why the world is so hard anymore#there's so much to know#and in order to get anywhere you have to delve so deep and specialize so hard#and not everyone is built for that#and the world we are building for ourselves really ought to take that into account

#so the meteor is neat and all#but I looked at this and went#holy shit in a pre-electric-lights civilization#you could absolutely have told time by the milky way#the same way you can tell it by the moon and sun#like it's Right Fucking There like a big stardial in the sky#so that's neat as shit#but also the meteor is cool#and that fiss of smoke afterwards#...damn

what made u guys pick ur url's !
#well#this one is just a -reblogs type tumblr to designate its purpose#the resonance comes from...#the idea of looking to just engage with what resonates with me#because I was (am) having some Issues at the time#and practicing engaging with that was part of dealing with it#mithlor though#is just elven for “grey dream”#(well it's supposed to be)#(it's actually grey sleep)#(mitholos is grey dream and is what I use more anymore)#elven because I have constructed usernames out of elven since forever because I am a Fucking Nerd#grey and dreams both having personal significance so#and then the other -resonance blog#takes its name from somewhere between the two other names#because in all fairness#I have always been That Bitch#and that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon

A temple caretaker watching a volcano eruption in Bali [s]
#for all that this is beautifully symmetrical#do not forget:#it was built that way on purpose#people have built things to frame natural wonder since we started building things#and our appreciation of and interaction with that beauty#is something that ties us together through generations upon generations#we have always been human will always be human

people often think i'm doing it for the bit but unfortunately i Am the type of guy who just says shit like "pray tell" and "indeed" and "naught but the human heart can hope to capture the moon's beauty" (that was actually about my shitty phone camera) and nobody really knows what to do when they hear those words come out of my mouth. myself included.

when jorge luis borges wrote in a copy of beowulf that he was working on translating, “beyond my anxiety, beyond this writing, the universe waits, inexhaustible, inviting.”
#I dearly hope so#it's the third stanza that holds me so tightly between its palms#I still yearn to live a few more centuries because of that -#there is truly too much worth doing in this life#and it is the deepest tragedy that - sometimes - we have to choose#and yes; there's meaning in that too - in the choosing#the same way there is meaning in loss#but it is still loss nevertheless#all that aside#it intrigues me the way that Beowulf is apparently where linguists go to die

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
#dude#one of the aspects of running events I haven't really shared#is how much the GM drop sucks afterwards#it's absolutely brutal#every time#and after years of doing it - it doesn't get better or easier#you just get better at recognizing it and managing it#usually it just lasts that night and into the following morning#but sometimes it takes the entire day#which is a big part of why I'm absolutely toast after Fal

fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk
#fireflies <3#of all the things out there#I do hope that fireflies are one of the ones that make it#I remember my grandfather teaching me to catch fireflies as a kid when we went out to visit#how can you not love the little lights in the dark?#on peaceful-warm-and-humid evenings#filled with the sounds of crickets#how can you not love to watch them dance?

its kinda funny how i can have a migraine and somehow not notice it. like oh man why does my afternoon feel so bad? hmmm... ohhhh right maybe it's the intense pain in my temple that i've been suffering the past hour. i forgot(??) about that
#OKAY BUT FOR REAL#while I've become much better at identifying that the reason I feel like shit is - in fact - a migraine#it took A Lot Of Practice#like a lot a lot#I used to go literal hours - most of a day - before having the lightbulb moment of: oh wait this is a migraine#it's wild the amount to which it just doesn't compute though#this is your reminder that migraines are neurological in origin#and as such also often fuck with your ability to like - percieve and process and execute

#bonk#bonk bonk#-bonk#really it's the stop sign that makes this#this is like twice as funny with the stop sign#as the hawk sits there absolutely radiating the same sentiment#like a bright red sign

#okay but like#telling time by the sun is actually pretty easy#as long as you have a good sense of when sunrise and sunset are that day#there's like a measurement with your hands#and then you'll have the time down to about 15mins; less margin of error if you're sharp at estimating#telling time by the moon? that's harder#but also actually pretty doable
