The nerdfighter community is the new back of shorts sponsor for League 2 team AFC Wimbledon and today I went SW to see the shorts IRL, on players and all! Team pics were taken with the nerdfighter stadium hoarding as backdrop. So so so cool. Whatever I do with my life, this will forever be a career highlight.
Can’t wait to have an AFC Wimbledon kit with DFTBA shorts.

Out of curiosity, may I ask what the story behind the Hanklerfish is? Where did the idea come from?
Yeah, I just realized that that’s actually what that last ask was asking. They weren’t asking “Could you please comment on the peculiarity of the cultural institution of autographs and how it relates to the concept of self.” They were asking “What’s the connection between you and Anglerfish.”
The connection is that one of my most popular songs is about Anglerfish.
Then, when John was signing 150,000 “J Scribble”s for TFiOS, I wanted to do something on a small percentage of them, but signing a book that I didn’t write with a name that most people who bought the book wouldn’t recognize seemed like a silly thing to do. Katherine suggested that I draw anglerfish on them, so that’s what I did. Those 7500 “Hanklerfished” copies of TFiOS are pretty rare and sometimes go on eBay for hundreds of dollars, which is weird.
You can see us talking about that whole era of Nerdfighteria here.
The timing of this couldn’t be more perfect.

As close as you will ever be to a nuclear explosion
THIS IS FUCKING TERRIFYING
No thank you.
The columns of smoke in the foreground are telephone poles boiling
This is way cooler to look at than it should be
Science side of Tumblr would like to add:
Heat is generally transmitted in 3 forms: conduction, convection, radiation.
The fact that the telephone poles and wires are boiling away well before the shockwave hits them indicates that the heat from the explosion has not reached them by convection (much slower than the speed of sound) or by conduction (at best, comparable to the speed of sound), but purely by radiation. In other words: the explosion is bright enough to boil everything.

If you look at the fact that you have a roof over your head, food to eat, that you are young and beautiful and live in a peaceful land, then no, you have nothing to be sad about. But the fact is, we are not only a physical body, we have souls too, and sometimes our souls get sick. If you break a leg you don’t just say ‘I have no reason to have a broken leg’ and ignore it; you seek help. It’s the same when your soul gets hurt. Don’t apologize for being sad.
