Me in high school: yeah physics and math have a crazy amount of overlap and, you know, in a lot of ways, they talk about the same thing.

Me now, a physics major asking a math major something: I'm sorry what the actual fuck did you just say? What are those words? Why are you speaking like this? Can't you just explain it with numbers?

My version of flirting is looking at someone I find attractive multiple times and hoping they're braver than me.

the assurance "nobody is judging you" is straight up false... people ARE judging you and you have to find a way to be ok w it

Penguins new ad campaign celebrates well-read books

This new ad campaign from Penguin appeals to those of us who think beat-up, torn, taped, scribbled-upon books are more appealing than pristine ones. I wondered if the books photographed here were found as is, or lovingly distressed by the art director, then I saw the small print in the lower right of each ad, which suggests they were found that way.

“Truthfully, this is the fabric of all my fantasies: love shown not by a kiss or a wild look or a careful hand but by a willingness for research. I don’t dream of someone who understands me immediately, who seems to have known me my entire life, who says, I know me too. I want someone keen to learn my own strange organization, amazed at what’s revealed; someone who asks, and then what, and then what?

From The Giant’s House, Elizabeth McCracken

'abstract (psychopomp)' by hozier but you've pulled over on a highway while a thunderstorm is about to roll over and you're watching the cars rush past, remembering what it means to be alive

Maybe the real numbers are the limits we converged to along the way
