I met this dork
I posted this in July of 2014 and it is now May of 2021. Since posting this photo, I have seen Seth in person more times than I can even count. And it’s his fault! Without his smug delivery on Weekend Update, I wouldn’t have paid attention to what channel he was on. I wouldn’t even have paid attention to the news! But because of him, I tuned into NBC at 11:30PM on Saturday nights. And now, I tune into Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday-Friday mornings on YouTube.
Since posting that photo, I graduated from college and worked in 30 Rockefeller Plaza for 4 years! I was hired as a NBC Page where I got to be there on Saturday nights at 11:30. But also, I was there at 6:30PM Monday-Thursday, standing in the back of Studio 8G watching Seth do “A Closer Look” while I tried to follow the day’s headlines. I wish I could go back at tell 2014 Kinjal that she would be seeing Seth preform on a daily basis. (Maybe she wouldn’t have waited in that line.) Now, I work at NBC News with aspirations to create a captivating way to inform people of their world while championing for human rights, the same way Seth does. It’s so insane to see how much impact a complete stranger has made on my life.
Seth wasn’t the sole factor but the catalyst in finding my career path. It’s up to me to fuel where it goes, so wherever that is - I would like to think that dork and I won’t be strangers.
walmart bought tiktok and microsoft bought bethesda and our entire lives are increasingly dictated by a few dozen people with infinite wealth with which to buy senators and dictatorial control over millions of workers for half or more of their working lives and Orwellian surveillance networks that catalogue our every move so they can more effectively convince us to consume more worthless shit that we don’t need
How much more can you take? Aren’t you tired?

god i’ve been spending so much time on twitter where you have to carefully dance around saying certain things lest you get banned that it’s kind of nice to make the occasional return to tumblr where it’s completely lawless and unchecked and i can just outright say that terfs are cordially invited to gargle these nuts

richard madden + the things he does with his lips sometimes
- When I get too old to take care of myself, I go for one last swim. I know I can’t make it back to shore. I’m too weak, too tired. So I just let the water take me under.
- Eesh! Downer ending.
I’m never gonna forget you. In fact to me, you won’t even really be gone. I don’t experience time the same way you do. I kind of live all times at once. To me, remembering moments with you is the same as living in them.
I proposed a rule that Chidi shouldn’t be allowed to leave, because it would make Eleanor sad. And I could do this forever. Zip you around the universe showing you cool stuff and I’d still never find the justification for getting you to stay. Because it’s a selfish rule. I owe it to you to let you go.
I love how irrelevant tumblr is. like no celebrities on here, no colleagues or family on here, no one’s famous off tumblr or making money, tbh no ones even updating the site like is there even any staff? who knows? it’s bliss
yes I DO live under a rock and her name is the Moon and she is always smiling but she teaches me nothing
