#CRYING ABOUT JENSEN’S SHYNESS #Because he was talking so fast and his voice was breaking #and then Jared swoops right in #and LOOK at that huge breath Jensen let out #He was holding his breath the whole time?! #You are too precious Jensen #and Jared too he knew just when to come in a save him #oh god he probably gave him a pep talk right before and everything
A student at Clemson experiments with turtles crossing the road. If you’re American, the experiment went just as expected…
College student’s turtle project takes dark twist
Clemson University student Nathan Weaver set out to determine how to help turtles cross the road. He ended up getting a glimpse into the dark souls of some humans.
Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he got out of the way and watched over the next hour as seven drivers swerved and deliberately ran over the animal. Several more apparently tried to hit it but missed.
“I’ve heard of people and from friends who knew people that ran over turtles. But to see it out here like this was a bit shocking,” said Weaver, a 22-year-old senior in Clemson’s School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences.
To seasoned researchers, the practice wasn’t surprising.
The number of box turtles is in slow decline, and one big reason is that many wind up as roadkill while crossing the asphalt, a slow-and-steady trip that can take several minutes.
Sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are the dominant species on this planet by taking a two-ton metal vehicle and squishing a defenseless creature under the tires, said Hal Herzog, a Western Carolina University psychology professor.
“They aren’t thinking, really. It is not something people think about. It just seems fun at the time,” Herzog said. “It is the dark side of human nature.”

Sad :(
Or….they tried to swerve to save the turtle but instead ended up hitting it. It’s sometimes hard to figure out these things in the heat of the moment. Cones get hit all the time too ya know and it’s not sadistic assholes.
I’ve been there before trying to save a creature and I hit it instead.
Watching The Body didn’t hurt or help.
So I’m reading crime and punishment and watching murder she wrote. Those are helping. Their lengths are just comforting.
There is a line from Les Mis that keeps playing in my head. It is very accurate.
There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.
I keep looking at my hands though. I look like my mom but sometimes I don’t see it. My hands however….I’ve always noticed how much our hands were alike. I hold one hand in another. My mom is still here inside me. In spirit. It’s okay. It’s not okay but it’s okay.
I’ve started telling people that the man on my debit card is my boyfriend.
It’ll be interesting when someone realizes I’m lying.
I’ll just add “He doesn’t know it but he is.”
Why does Johnlock make me happy?
This is why we need bookstores.
Especially love the Gollum peeking out from the side…
If Edward was to meet specific famous vampire hunters, how would that go down? (x)
WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME ANGRY??!?!?!?!? Because WE ALL KNOW SHE STAKES HIM AND THAT’S THE END.

Holy shitsnacks what an episode. Honestly at the end I was like…..AHHHHHHHHHH. So much awesomesauce.
First Picture of the new year. I wanted to do a stylized yin yang with Mulan and her counter parts. One side is Mulan as the bride/Princess and the other is her when she is a warrior.
Happy New Year!
So pretty!
Reblogging for my daughter, who loves Mulan.
I’ve been playing with the idea of filling my apartment with fan-art. If I can find a way to purchase this one then this will be the first of many.
I love Mulan.
