Joe and I spent yesterday afternoon at Clark’s Reservation in Jamesville.
It was totally beautiful. It was also ridiculously hot. We always seem to pick the hottest and most uncomfortable days to do a lot of walking (see the time we discovered the Onondaga Creekwalk last year). But it was awesome.
It was nice to do some hiking and climbing and really get “into” nature. We’ve been so stressed out lately and this was a nice (albiet short) escape. The park is really beautiful and Joe got to take some really amazing photos that I’ve yet to see on a big screen. The ones up there are all taken on my phone, so his are gonna blow them out of the water.
It’s just amazing how nice it feels to get some fresh air and climb on some rocks once in a while. Of course, we immediately followed this healthy afternoon with an evening of unlimited buffalo wings, which probably more than cancelled out everything else we did… but still. It was great.

Currently completely obsessed with this.

I hate driving behind things like this. I swear to god, one day one of those trees is going to go through my windshield and into my face.

Tumblr Staff: News! Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.
Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to…
I’m getting more excited for this merger day by day.
And hey, who knows? Maybe with Yahoo! joining the team, they’ll need more people to help out… You know, young graduates… ambitious minds… creative souls…
I’m just saying.
Same here, Will.
Yahoo! has been headed in a very positive direction lately. Marissa Mayer represents a new generation for the company that I think is really exciting. Also, it was inevitable that someone was going to eventually buy Tumblr. Wouldn’t you rather it be someone who’s on the rise and trying to attract a younger audience (like Yahoo!) than someone who’s huge, bloated, established, and maybe even a bit creepy—like Facebook, Google, or Apple?
I’ll end this with the two main quotes from the two most important people in this buyout: the companies’ respective CEOs.
“We promise not to screw it up. Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same…” -Marissa Mayer, Yahoo! CEO
“We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve – certainly isn’t changing. So what’s new? Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. Fuck yeah.” -David Karp, Tumblr CEO
Now let’s all keep calm and carry on. Because the only thing changing is that now Tumblr’s got a whole lot more money to throw at us. That deserves a yahoo if you ask me (shut up, I know I’m corny).

It is the third violent attack in two weeks believed to be motivated by anti-gay bias, police said. -
- Social justice blogger #1: <insert group name>'s problems are incomparable to any other issues faced by <insert group>
- Social justice blogger #2: (reblogs a positive image of some kind of nice event or form of progress) See! The best thing about this good thing is the completely unrelated fact that they didn't need <insert group name>'s fake sympathy to succeed!
- Social justice blogger #3: White people can't possibly comprehend any issue faced by anyone ever.
- Social justice blogger #4: Wealthy people can't possibly comprehend any issue faced by anyone ever.
- Social justice blogger #234234: (reblogs some obviously inaccurate statistic from some dydyOUknoe? style blog followed with an outraged rant)
- Just a friendly reminder that misery and tragedy isn't a competition you vapid, self-righteous little shits.

I think my sister, Celina, is one of the most beautiful people I know. She’s only seven, but damn. She’s got these gigantic, gorgeous brown eyes that remind me of Audrey Hepburn. She’s got this icy, serious stare that screams Lana Del Rey. And she’s got the thickest, most gorgeous hair ever. My mom refuses to cut it for her, but someday she’s going to rock that hair.
She’s also one of the funniest people I know. She’s the only person I’ve ever met who will say “you’re really big,” right to my face as if it wasn’t a big deal or anything. One time, she sat on my bed and told me that it was “way comfier” than her bed. I told her that that was impossible because my bed is broken. She snapped back with “Well, it probably broke because you’re really heavy.” I was like “… yeah, that is why it broke.”
Anyway, she just planted a bunch of colorful flowers on my balcony for me. And when I told her that I’ll probably forget to ever water them, she said “That’s okay, I’ll water them for you since you’re lazy,” with the straightest face anyone has ever had. For that reason, I wanted to write a Celina-appreciation post. She’s earned it.
