when the dreams start coming
I’ll put them in a giant bag
and drag it down the stairway
and out through the front door
and leave it on the sidewalk
for everyone to see
Tracks
Omg they staircase just tickles me
I WANT A BOOKSHELF LIKE THAT. STAT.

Hi Writers,
ModernCurrent is another creative writing community here on tumblr. I started it maybe a few months ago and am happy to say that it is growing strong. I’m always trying to do new things and create interesting content. My latest effort is a little project titled ‘Book Shelf Selfies’.
It’s a call for followers of ModernCurrent to submit photos of their at home book collections. I’ve decided to call them selfies because, in some ways, I think that the books we own are a pretty interesting representation of who we are, even if some of the books there are more a result of life’s whimsy, than they are our personalities.
This is an opportunity to share a little bit of your self with the tumblr writing community, as well as maybe pick up a few book recommendations, haha. I hope to see you guys submit your book shelf selfies and contribute to my strange little project of symbolic portraits.
Find us HERE.
Thanks,
Arielle
Welcome to the Reblog Book Club, the first official Tumblr book club!
For our first book, we’re reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, a coming-of-age story about fanfiction, family, and first love. If you’ve read Eleanor and Park, or you follow Rainbow on Tumblr, you have a good idea of why we’re so excited to talk about this book!We’ve already selected some very passionate Tumblr bloggers to help lead the discussion, and we hope you’ll participate too. You can get a copy of Fangirl at Amazon, Barnes&Noble, IndieBound, iBooks, your local independent bookstore, or a public library. Follow this blog to follow the conversation.
Then contribute in one of two ways:- Post to your own Tumblr blog and tag the post #reblogbookclub — we’ll reblog it into the main conversation.
- Submit to the book club Tumblr at http://reblogbookclub.tumblr.com/submit
We’ll begin with non-spoilery posts from 9/10-9/16, and discuss plot developments on the following schedule:Week of 9/17: Chapters 1-12
Week of 9/24: Chapters 13-24
Week of 10/1: Chapters 25-38
And because this is a book club the Tumblr way, you can express your feelings about the book however you choose — a written review, fan art, gifs, poems, letters… Maybe you have Fangirl nail art? Maybe you want to post a video blog talking through your ideas, a g-chat with a friend, or a song you think the characters would relate to? It’s all up to you! And, of course, you can reblog other people’s posts to add your own thoughts and responses. Rainbow will even be answering your Ask Box questions throughout the project!
Thanks for being part of this crazy literary experiment! We think it’ll be tons of fun and we can’t wait to hear what you think about Fangirl!
Animated Gifs of Amazing Animals Facts

This was followed up by sharing a series of fascinating facts about animals as animated gifs. The animated gifs were created by artist Michael Whaite.

Extremely Realistic Drawings of Everyday Objects
Italian artist Marcello Barenghi draws incredibly realistic everyday objects that appear almost three dimensional with the help of colored pencils and occasional enhancements using markers or watercolor. Barenshi applies a unique style that sets these apart from similar drawings that are meant to ‘trick’ a viewer. His use of color and dimension are so precise, the objects look removable from the page.

Albert Einstein: “Why We Love”

our local Priest says Good Omens is in his top 5 favourite books ever, right after Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (so essentially it's his favourite non-work book) so I don't think anyone is going to hell for reading it.Neither do I.
When Terry and I wrote it we half-expected book burnings and bricks through our windows, and instead we were nominated for (but did not win) a religious fiction award.
this. is. reblog-worthy.
To get as many people as possible excited about the incredible unlikelihood of our collective existence.
