it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic

one of my favorite threats is “youre not invited to my birthday party anymore”.

from ages 4 to 11 its one of the most heinous things you can say, then 12 through 17 its just embarassing cuz teenz think that thats a childish thing to say, but from 18 onward, it only gets more and more effective, if only because it confuses the person youre speaking to.

its like a verbal smoke bomb. it catches them off guard and disorients them to the point that they might not even know how to react.

Elizabethan Peasant 1: Look yonder! Someone has writ upon that ceiling that thou art most easily gulled!

Elizabethan Peasant 2: More fool they, for I cannot read.

Elizabethan Peasant 1: *sighing, lowers his visage unto his palm*

[theamityelf]

Elizabethan Peasant 1: Lo, hast thou learned to read?

Elizabethan Peasant 2: Verily, and to compose as well.

Elizabethan Peasant 1: With haste, then, how is the word “i cup” composed?

y'all 99% of the time: why is everything on the news negative?? news channels should report positive news too!

y'all today: how dare they focus so much reporting on the royal wedding for one (1) day, don’t they care about all the IMPORTANT things going WRONG

[wumblr]

when i say i want positive news i mean like … “species brought back from the brink of extinction in 2018” … “teen genius invents new ocean filtration system to remove microplastics” … “jeff bezos found dead in miami” … “nerds discover weird pattern in prime numbers”

not like “imperialists spend 300 million on wedding party”

Hoping for one which would die

This is what the tea that was dumped into the Boston Harbor would have looked like. In the 1700s, tea was compressed into planks; a plank this size could last a person roughly a year. They would be bought in sections, and small slivers would be shaved off into the kettle every time somebody wanted to make a cup of tea.

what the **** that’s so neat

[shaelit]

So what you’re telling me is that they were Frisbeeing tea off the ships.

[libertarian--princess-deactivat]

And THAT’S why it was such a big deal; they literally destroyed a couple decades worth of tea with each crate they tossed.

They dumped forty-six tons of the stuff into Boston Harbor; that’s worth $1.7 million USD adjusted for inflation.

People don’t protest like they used to smdh
