Blow Out A Candle, Illuminate Your Mind

Featuring the stunning photos of Grover Schrayer, Kyle Hill shines light on a beauty you never knew existed: the waxbow.

The smoke that wafts from the just-extinguished wick of a candle is not mere ash and soot. It is a nearly-invisible cloud of vaporized droplets of wax. Head on over to But Not Simpler…to find out the physics behind this shimmering phenomenon.

A tidbit of wonder that’s been sitting under our noses, on our birthday cakes, this whole time. Keep your eyes open and your brains sharp … you never know when you’ll stumble on something amazing.

one of my favorite things about hiking is when i come across a strange structure deep in the woods and am left to wonder how and why and when

how: demons. why: demon portal. when: 5 pm demon time

#the night vale city council would like to remind you that the demon portal on the edge of town is not a licensed healthcare provider #and to please stop leaving the sick and injured within lurching distance of its humming maw (gatheringbones)

Is there a standard picture for “sorry we made this about Night Vale” like there is “sorry we made this about Doctor Who”?

#Welcome to Night Vale #The Great Night Vale Fandom Assimilation of 2013 #of course nobody’s actually sorry let’s be real #but it seems like there should be a Night Vale apology cake to go with the other fandom apology cakes #(also that is quite a lovely demon portal you have there)

ALL OF MY DREAMS HAVE JUST COME TRUE

oh. oh my god.

this is genuinely the most beautiful thing i have ever seen

This is a book store called El Ateneo in Buenos Aires, Argentina! You can have coffee while sitting on the stage. One of my favorite places in my city.

I adore this place.
