This is a great, unique little tool I found by browsing for writing resources. It’s name speaks for itself: it’s a synonym finder.
The site is clean cut, has soothing colors, and to-the point results for any word you look up.
For example, when I look up the word “romance,” I get this:
Synonyms: romance, romanticism Definition: an exciting and mysterious quality (as of a heroic time or adventure)
Hypernyms:quality Definition: an essential and distinguishing attribute of something or someone Usage: the quality of mercy is not strained—Shakespeare”
I had no idea what a “hypernym” is. Apparently it’s a word with a more general meaning that a more specific word fall under. Like, color is a hypernym for green.
On the right corner there’s a button to make graphs! So you can trace each synonym from it’s root word, and see how far the other synonyms connect in comparison to others.
I really like it, so I’m going to definitely bookmark it on my writing tools list.
Once, my little brother let me add my jeans to a load of his laundry. There was a lipstick in the pocket. All of his clothes were tinted pink. He was not pleased.
You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.
Brand new works from Nimit Malavia for his participation in the three person show, “Lore,” which is on display currently at the brand new Hashimoto Contemporary Gallery in San Francisco, California.

as a big cat fanatic and a zoo veteran:
male lions are lazy fucks. they CHOOSE to fight cos they’re BORED.
As a professional Ethologist who specializes in apex predator and primate behavior, I can fully support this lazy lion notion. See this gorgeous guy?
This is Zero, the most photographed lion in National Geographic history (so I’ve been told). While his huge frame and two-toned mane make him an intimidating sight, he is essentially the biggest baby I observed while in South Africa.
You would hear these deep roaring moans echo across the reserve… and it was Zero, whining for the girls (Maggie and Lisa) to bring him food. The lazy bum would just roll around in the river bed moaning and groaning until the females would show up with a kill.
Sure, he could fight if there happened to be a rival male in the area. And his ‘mock charge’ display was intimidating enough to keep just about everyone* out of his way… but 99% of the time this guy was all about moaning (for food), mating, and mane-flips.
* – The only animal not run off by Zero’s display was a honey badger, who – true to form – did not care.
