It is the last day of summer
And it is raining CONSTANTLY
Seriously it’s like the sky has a headwound and then just BLOOD EVERYWHERE KSDJFHSJKGSG except it’s rain instead of blood
And now I have to walk out into it
If I drown in these monstrous floods, then farewell world, you were kind
/sobs excessively
I have come to the conclusion that Neil deGrasse Tyson is the Doctor.
How could you not want him to grab your hand and say “RUN!”?
I was reading Contact on the bus today, and this girl sat next to me was all like, “Oh you’re reading Carl Sagan, that’s cool! I’ve seen his tv series!”
And I was all, “LKSJGFD REALLY ISN’T IT SO AMAZING OMG CARL SAGAN IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVOURITE PEOPLE EVER AND HE’S WRITTEN A LOT OF BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ THEM AND NOW I’M GOING TO DESCRIBE ALL OF THEM TO YOU”
And then she became terrified and stopped talking to me.
“Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.”
