I really hope Yahoo doesn’t fuck up Tumblr like it’s fucked up … well, every single thing it’s ever touched in the history of the universe.

abcofreading:
Those of us who read, create, study, or teach children’s literature sometimes face skepticism from other alleged adults. Why would adults take children’s books seriously? Shouldn’t adults be reading adult books?
There are many responses to these questions:
Children’s books are the most important books we read because they’re potentially the most influential books we read....

Books are sort of like the TARDIS.
Their content exceeds their mass.
And they take us to worlds and times we’ve never dreamed of seeing.
That was beautiful.

I don’t have time to read
I don’t like to read
I haven’t been to the library in a long time
I’m sorry to bother you…*
I have fines.

Confirmed: 'HIMYM' Season 9 Will Only Span Wedding... →
popculturebrain:
CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler has now confirmed for TVLine that Season 9′s entire run will, in fact, span the wedding weekend and just the wedding weekend, as the comedy details “how each character, before Ted, meets the mother. So, they each meet her independently before he does.”
UGH. 24 episodes of a 56-hour weekend. Does that make sense to anyone? They’ll have...

(This is real? Why did this even run? It isn’t clever and if he wanted to be honestly offensive, he could’ve tried way harder. And did you write this on your iPad in the bathtub? 150 words? What? )

John Green's tumblr: The Commencement Address →
fishingboatproceeds:
Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.
My own commencement speaker, who shall remain nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and bad. This…

'Community' Renewal All But A Done Deal | Vulture →
popculturebrain:
This is definitely not the darkest timeline. Who the hell would have thought ‘Community’ would go to a fifth season?

Yeah, but what is ‘Burn Notice’?
This needed to happen. The last season was too stressful to watch.
