Jif, the popular peanut butter company, has finally weighed in on the debate about how to pronounce GIF.

Jif’s tweet came less than a day after the creator of the Graphics Interchange Format (ie GIF) revealed that GIF is actually pronounced “Jif.” This simple declaration set off countless tweets and much self-doubt among the GIF-faithful.

Hey Jif, just shut up and be spreadable.

His pledge to her:

i will kill the spiders. i will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry. i won’t ever pop my collar. i will never be rude to your tummy- when i hear it growl and gurgle. i promise to bend down and reply respectfully. i will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. i will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed finger, and the counter-bumped hip. i’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. i will be the big spoon. i will let you win at wrestling, sometimes. other times i will not. i will go faster. harder. i will pull when you want. and tease you when you don’t. i will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. not always. not on schedule. just whenever i want to. whenever i think you need one. or seven. i will check your tire pressure. and remind you to take your car in. i will hold your hand. i will love you. i will love you. i will love you.

I’m pretty sure I’ve reblogged this before, but it’s so perfect.

:(

i might cry

This is disgusting and not cute. Wash your arm loser.

itsmeagan:

The original story of the little mermaid is that she must kill the prince in order to be human, and in the end, she loves him too much and kills herself instead.

The artwork is too great not to reblog.

Ok, ok - important expansion: she only has to kill the Prince because the deal was if he fell in love with her she could be human forever, and he didn’t. By which I mean, he was a good person and genuinely nice to her, but he didn’t fall in love. He fell in love with someone else, also perfectly nice - not the seawitch in disguise, fu Disney. The Mermaid is told she can only return to the sea now if she kills the Prince. She goes into the room where he and his lover lie sleeping and they look so beautiful and happy together that she can’t do it.

That’s why she kills herself. And because it was a noble act she returns to sea as foam.

One moral of the story was that women shouldn’t fundamentally change who they are for love of a man, and in theory Han Christian Anderson wrote it for a ballerina with whom he fell in love. She was marrying someone else who wouldn’t let her dance.

I want this painted on my wall.

Sand Cat Debuts at Smithsonian’s National Zoo

A 7-year-old sand cat named Thor is the newest addition to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo’s Small Mammal House exhibit. Thor will serve as an ambassador to his wild cousins and teach Zoo visitors and researchers about the behaviors of this secretive species. Native to Northern Africa, Southern Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula, sand cats are the only cats that live in true desert ecosystems. They are well-adapted to survive in the desert: their foot pads have fur; they get most of the water they need by consuming prey (small birds, rodents and some reptiles); and they are able to withstand very hot and cold temperatures by burrowing in the sand. Degradation of their desert habitats is the largest threat to sand cat populations. The IUCN lists this species as near threatened.

skyscraperym:

the words.

Just finished watching ‘The Words’.

Something about it really moved me. It was sincere, sad, and eloquent at the same time. Thought provoking, and one of those stories that tell a tale that’s not necessary epic, but just a tiny snippet into a time and place during someone’s life (or in this case, multiple people’s lives), and ends with what happens in real life… life continuing on.

It’s reminiscent of ‘Atonement’, however that was something about that movie that really turned me off from it. But the idea of a mistake that tends to haunt someone (in particular, a writer) incessantly and how they try to find ways to intertwine Fiction and Realty, which according to The Words: “At some point, you have to choose between life and fiction. The two are very close, but they never actually touch.” (Dennis Quad in The Words).

For some of their films, Disney would film real actors so that the animators could watch them for reference.

Skottie Young’s Marvel NOW! Baby Variant Covers

Following the success of the Avengers Vs X-Men baby variant cover comissioned by Midtown Comics and the A Babies Vs X-Babies comic that inspired these covers, Marvel has Skottie Young doing Baby variant covers for all of the new Marvel now titles. Marvel will probably run these into the ground like they did with the Marvel Zombies franchise, but goddamn, look at how amazing Skottie Young’s art is. I’m not even really a Deadpool fan but that Baby Deadpool cover is adorable.
