im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?
One day you will drink in kindness like the soil in a storm. You will take all that you can until you are overflowing with it, waiting, never sated, for those showers to come again. You will breathe gentleness like breaching the ocean for the first time and feel it flooding, pure, into your lungs. You will tilt your head up to heart which fills you like a sprout brimming with the sun– and then you will return it to where it came, as like is to like, and love is to love.
The single greatest picture ever taken in my life. We threw Yu-gi-oh cards at the ceiling fan to watch them scatter, and just happened to take a picture right at this exact moment. To this day, this is the only time I’ve ever heard of anyone breaking a ceiling fan blade with cards.

Pretending people wearing camouflage are invisible
incorrect units of measurement (i.e. I have like 40 gallons of homework)
calling easily explainable phenomena “witchcraft”
• conflating two similar idiomatic phrases (e.g. are you having a kidding me) • inserting the word fuck or fucking into unusual places. bonus if it’s in other languages (e.g. excusez the fuck out of moi, entfuckingschuldigung)
