PRIDE & PREJUDICE 2005, Dir. Joe Wright

“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket

This well balanced owl has a truly special bond with it’s owner. See more of their friendship here.

my family was just forced to vote at gunpoint in russian cosplay of a “referendum” in southern ukraine:

- they come to your house

- you have to openly tick the box for being annexed by russia (or for staying with ukraine if you feel suicidal)

- all while armed gunmen watch you

Rare Dali water colors sell for over 1 million. See all 14 artworks here.

This type of story reminds me how amazing sports can be.  Last night, Rochester Red Wings catcher Chris Herrmann spotted a fan outside the stadium and gave him his all of his used gear. See, Herrmann doesn’t need the gear with the Red Wings colors anymore. He was recalled to the big leagues last night; to the Minnesota Twins. This simple act turned a great time at the ball game into a night this boy will never ever forget. I now know who my favorite baseball player is. If you love this as much as I do, send The Twins a note and tell them so!

Happy Caturday from my stalker Willow. (at the sofa)

Chawton House Library, Chawton, Hampshire. The house was the home of Jane Austen’s brother, Edward Austen Knight. The library contains the private collection of the Knight family, which was used by Austen, and a collection of early women’s writing (1600-1830), including works by Aphra Behn, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, and Mary Wollstonecraft. The manuscript in the picture is of Jane Austen’s play Sir Charles Grandison (c. 1800), which parodied the Samuel Richardson novel. The library’s website provides access to a large number of full-text transcripts of rare late 18th-early 19th century novels.

I had no idea for some reason that starlings mimicked sounds, and I was outside trying to take down the christmas lights when I heard, in quick succession: grackles, a bobwhite, robins, several red-tailed hawk cries in quick succession, and at least ten other birds, followed by meowing.

I look and in the neighbor's tree there are six starlings doing rapid-fire imitations of Every Bird. They were good, too.

Now I wonder how many times I've heard a bird and it was just a starling.

Any one of you could be a starling...
