Such a fan of hearing older men nerd out about astronomy and the moon One guy had a contraption that connected to his telescope and allowed you to see through the lens of your phone. got this photo of our stunning gal in her full glory with craters out and all. 𼚠Love being reminded of how tiny and finite we are.
went to my roommates boyfriendâs art show last minute and did not regret. Definitely didnât know what I was getting myself into and despite my exhaustion peaking 15 min into our time at the gallery i very much enjoyed it. 100 artists had their artwork featured in various fridge doors. Very beautiful concept.
I know a book is good if Iâm tearing up. And this one did just that. Very sad. Very beautiful. Very heartbreaking. Written from the a journaling perspective of the main character whoâs mentally disabled and becomes the perfect candidate for a surgery that allows him to be a functioning member to society and experience life from a new perspective.
