GO OFFF

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.

Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.

This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?

But also… RAD PLAYING MY DUDEEEE

this is the coolest guy alive actually

I think this might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life that involves a violin

we all have to live forever and lez out okay?

I think i’m my own dead wife

they should invent something that reduces the amount of pain you are experiencing.

People often choose familiar pain over unfamiliar peace. That sounds dramatic, but it is basically pattern learning. If chaos is what your character knows, calm may feel like a setup. If neglect is familiar, attention may feel like surveillance. If love always meant losing power, being loved may feel like being trapped. This is why “just choose happiness” is not an arc. Happiness can be the scariest room in the house.

downright euphoric noticing a new texture in a song you’ve heard a thousand times

May you become proof that your 17-year-old self was right to believe there was more for you.

Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.

Sometimes at work when I'm on Scarecrow Duty [standing still for hours] I write little awful poems in my head to describe movies I've seen

. First name Ryland, last name Grace Sacrificed to save my race Shot my ass to outer space Make friend in unexpected place Good friend Rocky, he is best Hear when organ thump in chest Friend with Human, watch when rest Invent foods he can digest

i should watch more movies and i should read more and i should get a new hobby and i should pick my old hobbies back up and i should clean my house and i should start exercising regularly and i should get a degree in something and i should quit my job and i should commit a crime and i should burn down a building and actually i should leave my life and become a hermit living in the mountains and talking to birds

day 1 of job: I will sit politely and do all my work so so fast and stop only when my break is granted

day 200 of job: well looks like it's time again to take a pee for fifteeeeen minutes.

we all love dynamics that remind us of the moon and the sun but I am baffled by the lack of love for dynamics that are reminiscent of the moon and the EARTH.

I am so full of life but you are the reason my tides have a rhythm. you are the reason my oceans are brimming with life. you are the reason I can see the light in myself even when it all seems dark and you are the reason my orbit is stable and my seasons make sense. do you see it

Moon has scars from meteors that would’ve otherwise hit us

AOAOIUUHHH. NOBODY TALK TO ME

I’m just thinking about how many times I’ve heard my dad on a long call with an obvious scammer and I’ll start begging him to get off the phone because I always think he’s a very easy mark and he’ll just keep going and then after a while he’ll say something like “I died 20 years ago” and hang up.

Virgin Millennial Daughter with 20 hrs of screentime a day: Dad! They’re scamming you! Dad! Stop! They will take your savings and your identity! Hang up before they SWAT you!

Chad Boomer dad with a flip phone he has not recharged since 2014: Well gee I wish I could give you my bank account number after you spent all this time on the phone explaining this car deal with me but I don’t have access to my finances because I am in Rikers for felony murder.

Look it's not even remotely my kink but even I can see that Tumblr isn't into Ryland Grace because of the normie-attractive cisheteropatriarchy white boy summer blockbuster thing. They're into him because he's an absurd cranky dork-twee monsterpet muppetfucker in a slutty cardigan choosing his interstellar soulmate's terrarium over all that "being with his own kind" clobber. If Tumblr didn't have his back (and covet his ass) it wouldn't be Tumblr. Fam recognize fam.

there are cathedrals everywhere for those who have the eyes to see but the real question is do you see the quarried stone the cathedrals are built of? do you see who it was that built them? do you recognize the cost of the beauty surrounding you, bought and paid daily by you and everyone you know?
