Lavender Blues

I am a graduate student who runs, writes, and draws stuff in what what spare time I have.

I really like Edna St. Vincent Millay, Deleuze & Guattari, and Superjail. My childhood largely consisted of Sailor Moon and Harry Potter (Pottermore says I'm a Slytherin).

Check out a project of mine under the We Four Elements tag or at we-four-elements here on Tumblr.

In 1731, King Frederick I of Sweden gave a lion he had killed to a taxidermist who had never seen a lion before, and this was the result

So I finally left the office after my brain stopped Miltoning (Milton is officially a noun, verb, and adjective now because I say so), and the first thing I noticed was that it was raining. I didn’t have an umbrella because I’d been at work for 16 hours, and it wasn’t raining for most of the day, so I went back in to grab one plastic bag for my stuff and one for over my head.

So then I came back out and walked for seven or so minutes to my car, passing myriad drunk people, including one person who laughed very loudly when I walked by with my bag-headcover; I stepped in multiple puddles (in open-toed shoes), and then finally, finally got to my car, put everything in my trunk, and got inside.

And then I saw this.

That’s right. Someone left a (by then very wet) white rose underneath one of my windshield wipers.

None of the other cars nearby had roses that I could see. I stood in the rain to check.

I literally have no idea what’s going on. Is a mystery person in love with me? Are they in love with my car? Have I been marked for death by a group of elite assassins? Tune in tomorrow, folks, to possibly find out!

Hahahahahahaha

I just got an email letting me know that a Facebook friend “mentioned [me] in a comment.”

It was from a guy that dumped me after we dated five days who was writing on my most recent ex’s wall, hoping that the two of us were doing well.

There are so many levels of awkward here that I don’t even know where to start.

~~This is what I get for not revealing my relationship status on a predatory commercial website that I still need to have for job reasons and also to keep in touch with high school friends.~~

like i’m all for naming your kid whatever you want

uncommon names are great

names that have been in the family for a long time are great

wednesday is a day of the week and it would make a nice name

but there comes a point when you need to step back

and think over what you’re doing

Donald Glover talking about the comments he received during his campaign to be the next Spider-Man (x)

“I was talking about it with Dan Eckman, who directed my Bonfire video. Can you imagine that trailer? That would be dope. Like it makes sense… a poor black kid in Queens. Like it just fits.”

Tumblr's L.A. Fuck You to Fired Employees; Opens brand new office

kingjaffejoffer:

It’s hard to imagine what could be worse than being fired in the same paragraph that heaps praise upon the work you’ve been doing. But at Tumblr, there is worse: your company shitcans you and then unveils shiny new LA real estate.

Ex-Employee: “Because Tumblr is so volatile in many ways, nobody feels totally secure in their jobs. But we had no reason to believe our demise was imminent, and had received nothing but positive feedback. We found out the day it was announced.”

“there is not a single strategic thinking grownup in a position of power ”

The bolded quote explains so much about Tumblr and why we never get features that actually make sense.
