ponury: Louis Theroux - Extreme Love: Dementia Louis is in Phoenix, Arizona, a city known as America’s “capital of dementia”. He’s here to see how relatives cope as their loved ones slip into a “twilight world of half-remembered reality”. Selinda, who is just 49 and has Alzheimer’s, can’t dial the numbers on a phone to make a call, while Nancy, who is cared for at home by her husband, can’t remember her own name. There are flourishes of personality, but ultimately the partners must endure the gradual loss of their loved ones with patience and love. (click here to watch) This was so sad.. >.<

are you ever so involved in your own little world you actually forget most people are actually offended by things like nudity and certain clothes and body types and sexual orientations

fishingboatproceeds: prettybooks: Check out more infographics that compare 2011 YA book covers, from jacket colour to ethnicity of models over katehart.net. So fascinating. (Witness, for instance, the fact that almost 99% of models featured on the cover of YA novels are caucasian, for instance.) I suppose the cover of TFiOS features clouds, but only in a fairly abstract way. I really wanted the cover to move away from the conventional wisdom about what sells: white girls’ faces (or headless bodies), water, moons, spooky typeface, hands holding apples, etc. But I’m really fortunate to work with a publisher who A. cares what I think when it comes to book covers, and B. will take the time/spend the money to make sure that all parties are happy. Most authors don’t have much say in their covers (and, indeed, I didn’t always have much say in mine—there are some, in fact, that I actively dislike). In semi-related news, I am so, so, so excited to be able to reveal the new cover of Katherines in a couple weeks, which was designed by a nerdfighter. this is really interesting. The minority representation charts are quite depressing. D:Also it really shows how repetitive covers are getting, including so many of the same elements. :/

/also
I’m near-sighted, and I noticed tonnes of other people wearing t-shirts with english phrases on them in our supermarket O__o

Spent ages trying to figure out one woman’s top, which said “LOVE SUCKS” (with a heart for the O) at first I thought it said “I love Suck” and then “Love fucks” DD:

she was with a small child, who was wearing a t-shirt with a smurf on it and “EXTREME ___”
idk what the second word was. for some reason I’m guessing “SMURF” but that would be odd

I should probably start wearing my glasses going to the supermarket, just for the weird t-shirt reading alone
 

saw someone at the supermarket wearing a sexist t-shirt today :x
first panel was a woman talking to a man, second panel the man hitting the woman out of the frame, with the caption “problem solved”

He was there with a woman as well D:
he may as well have worn a sandwich board saying “IM A DOUCHEBAG”

FAVOURITE ASOIAF CHARACTERS: Cersei Lannister

“When we were little, Jaime and I were so much alike that even our lord father could not tell us apart. Sometimes as a lark we would dress in each other’s clothes and spend a whole day as the other. Yet even so, when Jaime was given his first sword, there was none for me. ‘What do I get?’ I remember asking. We were so much alike, I could never understand why they treated us so differently. Jaime learned to fight with a sword and lance and mace, while I was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock, while I was to be sold to some stranger like a horse, to be ridden whenever my new owner liked, beaten whenever he liked, and cast aside in time for a younger filly. Jaime’s lot was to be glory and power, while mine was birth and moonblood.”
