I see this poster about 20 times a day telling people to vote yes on a minaret ban. Personally, I don’t see the big problem with minarets, but a lot of people around here seem to want them banned.

My favourite part is that even though the woman’s face is almost completely covered by a niqab, they still managed to portray her with a totally menacing stare. I’ve maybe seen someone dressed like that one single time since I’ve been living here in Switzerland.

Actually, this poster reminds me of a couple of others that I’ve seen before…

My dark (pun intended) secret: I have horrible undereye circles. All the time. Doesn’t matter how much sleep I get.

This photo doesn’t even do them justice, really.

I cover them up because I am totally embarrassed by them. I could probably be one of those people who doesn’t have to wear makeup if it wasn’t for these bad boys ruining all the fun. As it stands, if I leave the house without a quick concealer job I’ll likely be mistaken for a heroin addict. Not a hot look.

The best scenarios usually happen at work or with acquaintances, though. They aren’t used to seeing me in my raccoon-eyed state and usually make lighthearted comments such as:

- “Whoa, someone was out drinking last night!”
- “Please don’t cough or sneeze in my direction. I have an important date later on.”
- “Who or what hit you in the eye?”

Nope, sorry fellas! You’ve been fooled this whole time. This is what I really look like, and it actually comes in super handy on Halloween!

Dear Randeep,

I’m really sorry to inform you that I’m unable to help you with finding an internship. Unfortunately I only work for one of those companies, not both of them.

Some pro tips to help you along the way:

- Try to get a grasp on basic English tenses and prepositions.
- Next time you’re copying and pasting a mass message, check that you’ve replaced every instance of the company name, instead of just one.
- Don’t beg for work by messaging random strangers on Facebook.

Good luck with your job search!

Regards,
Lauren

Herbsttag

fvp:

Herr, es ist Zeit. Der Sommer war sehr groß.
Leg deinen Schatten auf die Sonnenuhren,
und auf den Fluren lass die Winde los.

Befiehl den letzten Früchten, voll zu sein;
gib ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage,
dränge sie zur Vollendung hin, und jage
die letzte Süße in den schweren Wein.

Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr.
Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,
wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreiben
und wird in den Alleen hin und her
unruhig wandern, wenn die Blätter treiben.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Paris, 1902

“

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

”

e.e. cummings (via itsobjectis) (via cosmicbus)

my favourite poem? possibly.
