when someone loves you - really loves you - treat them gently. text your best friend back when you can. tell your mother you noticed her haircut and that she was right about that recipe. tell your grandfather that the boats in his bottles are the best things you’ve ever seen. be good to the people who are good to you. it’s the least you can do.
This post makes me feel warm :)

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as Galloping Gertie, was a suspension bridge built in 1940. Four months after its construction, a ~40 mph wind set the bridge into simple harmonic motion, which you can see in the above gifset. Engineers and physicists don’t quite agree on the specific phenomenon that caused the motion to grow, bending the bridge in increasingly larger and harder twists. But eventually, the extreme motions of the bridge caused the suspender cables to fail and the central deck to collapse.
