The red-winged blackbird’s song is deeply comforting and familiar it’s like walking into the marsh and hearing an old friend

this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks

The “Thunk” will always kill me.

this gag NEVER fails to make me laugh. watching them all file in one by one and collectively laugh harder every time the next guy walks in…i could watch videos of this practical joke all day

Their faces as they collectively realize they’re married to the funniest women on the planet

feeling so many feelings about all of this

Watch Tracy Chapman Start a Quiet Revolution

You guys may be too young to remember, but I remember tuning in on TV with 600 million other viewers to watch Stevie Wonder live at Wembley Stadium for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday celebration tribute in 1988. There were technical difficulties and Stevie Wonder couldn't go on yet. The crowd was antsy, milling around, singing their own songs. The TV cameras were rolling and the show had to go on, so TOTALLY UNKNOWN ARTIST TRACY CHAPMAN GOT UP ON STAGE AND PLAYED FAST CAR ARMED WITH ONLY HER GUITAR.

The crowd fell silent. Captivated by the absolute raw honesty and talent on display. Did we know we were witnessing history? A black queer artist who would rocket to fame and win a Grammy for this song the following year? I don't remember.

What I do remember is getting to the end of the song and not caring about Stevie Wonder any more. I wanted to know who this woman was!

Watch Tracy Chapman stun a rowdy crowd into silence:

Y'all have you seen this????

Appreciate the fashion and please don't look in the notes unless it's to find people who you want to block.

This 4 minutes took 5 years to make.

Timelapse photography on this scale is the definition of a labor of love, because if you didn't love it, nothing else would compel you to do it.

If you have access to a large screen, I highly recommend putting this on it.

It's been a while since a short film made me cry. This one did.

That's a great table design (credit)

When I read “crow singing”, NOTHING prepared me for the crow going “lalala”

Translation: Sometimes, you need a friend to talk to when you're at work, especially about some recent unexpected feelings about the host. It has been a bad time, and everyone who says it will get better is lying. I cannot sleep. It has taken me forty-five minutes to write the past four sentences.

I knew this would be a good one.

Happy holidays.
