is your heart a sponge or a fist?

 without school to keep me busy i just am roaming the internet...also i like to keep track of things i enjoyed to i can go back to them later

• love and anger: new yorker article about parenting i read for some reason that kind of punched me in the face with "What he wanted was all of her attention, even as he also wanted to be his own person. He wanted to re-create the relationship they’d once had, when he was smaller, but in a way that it could no longer be re-created. He wanted the impossible and he knew it and it drove him crazy."
• mediations on the nature of beauty: humor article that cracked me up. 
• mother nut: still in the middle of reading this due to its novella length, but am enjoying it so far! reminds me of the opening chapter from the overstory about the chestnut blight
• what is your attachment style?: ive known about attachment styles for a long time but i watched this 4 kicks, boils the concept down pretty nicely and has fun graphics. interesting how it mentions that avoidant people and anxious people have a higher propensity to fall in love with e/o which aggravates insecurity and defensiveness...explains a lot about why when people tell me about their rship troubles im always sitting there like Ok But Why Do You Both Sound Insane. despite everything im pretty sure i ended up with secure attachment style which is pretty epic ngl
• greta gerwig's raw, startling little women: a nice review that distills much of what i liked about the movie pretty clearly, but im linking specifically for what it says about the ending, which was a surprising near 4th wall break i've never seen anything like in any other movie, which this writer explains pretty deftly with "This is not only a film of the book but also, more stirring still, a film about the book. What Jo ends up producing, for the demanding Dashwood, is a summation of all that we have observed; she writes the film into being, so to speak, mothering the facts and the multiple fates of her loved ones into fiction." it calls into question wether jo going after the professor at the end even really happened or not, or if its the ending she was forced to write, which is the perfect ending imo. I LOVE THIS ADAPTION!!
• janus dolphin: cool pix of the skull of a mutated dolphin. not sure if this counts as bicephaly or diprosopus but it looks sick as fuck nonetheless
• all summer in a day: ray bradbury story i remembered from middle school....thought of it the other day, reread it and   ITS STILL DEPRESSING!
