This phrase and variations on it have been flying around for a long time, as people seem to think that it makes them sound like quirky and honest people of rare but simple pleasures.

I think it would be really fun to like officially be an expert on something. like 19th century philosophical idealism in Germany. And get to teach people about how awesome it is.
Still, I want to teach high school English……
However, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I am never going to be a good teacher around young people so I might just settle for college philosophy.
bowtiesandbowie asked: Hi! So I noticed you mention DFW every now and then and I'm pretty sure you mentioned having read Infinite Jest? If so, how long did it take you to read it? Did you find it difficult to read? And if so, how did you manage to keep up with the text? I ask because when I tried reading it, I was kind of struggling to keep up/the vocab was a bit out of my range... Which is frustrating because...

I guess I had the luck (if you could call it that) of reading Infinite Jest after Wallace’s tragic suicide, because reading passages like this they always stuck out so much more and touched me even deeper. There’s something about how he writes about depression...

One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

"motion in the ocean" by nana grizol
It seems that we are clams inside our shells Side by side on rocks we feel the tide as the sea contracts and swells Pearls grow from the pain inside we often know so well So languageless, emotionless we must now find some way to tell the ocean not to worry Ultimately all, predictably, is well Oh fisherman, it seems you’ve lost your net Furthermore, it seems you’re sinking, do not...
