The book solves half of your problems, not all of them
Say you have 8 problems. You read the book, and you have 4 problems. You read the book again gets rid of HALF, of those 4 problems. So you’re left with two. Out of the 8 problems, 6 were resolved and 6/8 is 75%.
Finally Tumblr can do math
So, what you’re saying, is that if I buy infinite books, I will solve all of my problems, because the sum as n approaches infinity starting at 1 of (½)^n equals 1, which would be 100% of my problems.
No, you will only ever be able to become infinitely close to solving all of your problems, like this:
Please stop explaining math to me im gay
that’s why radioactive material is such a bitch! it only ever deteriorates relative to its mass so it will never completely vanish
honestly the concept of doppelgangers is scary but if i saw myself i probably wouldn’t be that terrified. like i know she can’t run for more than 3 minutes straight. i know she can’t do basic maths. she’s not going to do anything. she doesn’t even know what day it is
i like twitter but tumblr always feels safer for true unhinged acts of fandom. like on twitter the vibe is always “yikes, the creator might see this, sorry if i offend!” but on tumblr it is like, “yikes, the creator saw this? sry 2 them for breaking into my house????”
friends, you don’t understand. This ad campaign was goddamn HUGE. They bought out the entirety of multiple train stations in Boston with these. There are so many more, and they’re all this same beautiful combination of questionable/amazing.
the cephalopods have done nothing, these adverts were made by humans, do not blame these innocent creatures for the things that make you uncomfortable.
Jellies are not cephalopods they’re medusozoas
…ngl i really really love cephalopods i think they’re fascinating and octopodes especially are SUPER THRILLING to me because they’re so fucking smart, and I would feel, frankly, honored to be embraced by an octopus.
…It’s just occurred to me that I am possibly part of the target demographic for this ad campaign.
I unironically adore weird teenagers who don’t know exactly what the hell is going on yet. This kid came in for a job interview at the grocery store today wearing very nice slacks and suspenders and a bow tie, with his lil pink hair all done up, and I’m just like, “Oh, we gotta hire this kid. He kicks ass. Motherfucker’s going to groceries prom and we couldn’t stop him if we tried. He’s my manager now; I only answer to grocery prom kid.”
One time I saw this New Yorker cartoon with a piece of penne pasta answering the phone and saying, “Fusilli, you crazy bastard! How are you?” and now I cannot cook fusilli without thinking you crazy bastard

basically the ‘skeleton war’ was a meme from around 2013 to maaaaybe 2015 every halloween. dril made this tweet:
and tumblr just kind of ran with it. and around halloween everyone pretended a bunch of skeletons just fought in a war and there were a lot of (very 2014) memes referencing the war
When I discovered that, through acting, you can speak a beautiful language aloud and have a relationship to language that isn’t one that’s just eyes-to-page, pen-to-page - it’s one that’s full-bodied, full-voiced, full-heart… it really opened my heart and made me feel like I could be a storyteller.
