one day we shall not tumbl - but it is not this day
THE YETI IS EXPECTING A SECOND BABY AND THEY TOLD OBAMA ABOUT IT AND ASKED HIM ABOUT NAMES AND HE SAID WHATEVER THE NAME IS TO NOT FORGET TO BE AWESOME
THIS IS OUR FAVORITE DAY. DFTBABY: THE SEQUEL.
Hehehe sort of accidentally found this out at the Swindon TFiOS stop but couldn’t tell anyone because SECRET. This was the best way of spilling the baby beans though, holy moly.
Incidentally, John, you should totally go with Alice. It’s a good name. I’m enjoying it. :p

I made a video the other day about the TFiOS tour it’s not all that coherent okay okay shhhhh
I have had such a weird day, but it was really really great. :) Like, it’s really easy to think of the Vlogbrothers as this strictly internet presence but seeing them at the TFIOS tour is such a good reminder that these are real people with real lives and doing real good and generally giving me faith in the world and a happy feeling in my belly. Also I got books signed and spoke to John and Hank a little and hung out with nice people and said ‘Hello!’ to all the people I’ve met via YouTube in the last six months and it’s just great I LOVE THE INTERNET OKAY
“I study English Literature because I enjoy it and am pretty good at it. But one question plagues me when people who study the sciences ask it: what is the real point in studying literature?”
Well, here’s my response to people in the sciences: Human existence is temporary and all the knowledge of the universe we acquire will in time be forgotten because there will be no humans left to benefit from any of the stuff we learned.
And yet, this doesn’t invalidate scientific exploration to me. We seek to understand the universe because it makes our lives better and more rich. Similarly, we tell stories (and think about why and how to tell stories) because it makes human existence richer. Made-up stories matter. They bring us pleasure and solace and nurture empathy by letting us see the world through others’ eyes. They also help us to feel unalone, to understand that our grief and joy is shared not just by those around us but by all those who came before us and all those still yet to come.
It Begins in Swindon
We’ll also be visiting Nottinham, Manchester, or Birmingham. Which? Your votes decide.
I’ve been trying to get tickets for the Swindon stop but my bank keeps insisting I am a fraudster. :c BANK I SWEAR I AM ACTUALLY ME

John Green: What To Do With Your Life (x)
17,000 notes? That’s insane.
(I just imagined a world in which tumblr reblogs could be exchanged for the weird circular baby cheese that Henry eats every day, and then I would have like a lifetime supply of that surprisingly expensive baby cheese. BUT NO.)
