joehillsthrills:

I was feeling a little blue and I was looking for something on the internet to cheer me up and Warren Ellis has a post on his tumblr pointing to a website, I Write Like, so I thought, oh, hey, why not? Warren got David Foster Wallace; I was thinking, huh, maybe it’ll tell me I write like John Steinbeck! Hell, maybe David Mitchell!!!

Sigh. Going to bed now.

PS - It’s funny. I admit it. Even I think it’s funny.

Who’s that dude on the far right? I’ve watched all The West Wing episodes at least twenty times and I swear he’s not in any of them.

I’ve been watching so much West Wing lately that this legitimately confused me for a minute.

Clint Barton and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

(Alternative title: “Clint Barton and the Day That Went Pretty Much Like Every Other Day”)

A portfolio piece I did for some practice. It’s been thoroughly picked apart by a bunch of artists who know what they’re talking about by now, so I can see the myriad flaws that I’ll need to work on for the next one. But it still amuses me, and if nothing else, like so many things, it was a learning experience. And hey, look, Derec—I broke out of the grid.

omg this is awesome!!!

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

For 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It’s like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world’s lowest infant mortality rates.

It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it’s designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they’re from, an equal start in life.

The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers.

It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress.

With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby’s first bed. Many children, from all social backgrounds, have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.

Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it’s worth much more.

The tradition dates back to 1938. To begin with, the scheme was only available to families on low incomes, but that changed in 1949.

Socialism at work.

I would rather my tax money pay for this than drone missiles.

I loved getting that package and for the first three weeks, our son did sleep in it :D

One of the saddest things about Ten is that “Allons-y!” means “Let’s go!” in French and Ten’s last words are “I don’t want to go”.

Movie Studio: We need an agent or something for this scene. Let’s use that guy.

Fandom: Hey, who’s that guy? That guy is awesome! We love that guy!

Movie Studio: …what? Who? That guy? But he’s nobody. Wouldn’t you rather—

Fandom: Nope.

Movie Studio: But Tony Stark—

Fandom: Nope.

Movie Studio: Okay, well, I guess we could give him a name or something.

Fandom: WE LOVE AGENT COULSON!

Movie Studio: How the fuck—? Guys, come on. We gave you superheroes! Why are you hung up on Agent Coulson?

Fandom: Agent Coulson, Agent Coulson, Agent Coulson!

Movie Studio: God damn it, fine. Look, we’ll give him the most epic death scene in the series, okay? Would that make you happy?

Fandom: ~collective, blatant, epic refusal to acknowledge Coulson’s death~

Movie Studio: Jesus. Fine. Here, have a TV show.
