why does bella know the EXACT words her mom used when she broke up with her dad? like its not like she was there, or she was a baby, right? is her mom telling this story to her child frequently?? seems like awful parenting (not that we didn’t already know that renee is an awful parent haha)

Yeah I don't know about this one.

My hunch is that SM had the idea of like "oh it would be dramatic and heartbreaking if Bella used the same words Renee did!!" and then just didn't bother to think through HOW Bella would know what the exact words were.

You're right, of course, that Bella was a baby when this happened so she can't possible 'remember' it. So someone had to tell her. And the only two people who were there were Charlie and Renee. Either one of them telling their kid the details--down to the exact words--of their break-up is kind of weird.

But I doubt SM stopped her stream-of-consciousness writing for one moment to wonder "hey, how DID Bella know about this?" but if she had, she'd blame it on Renee telling Bella at some point. Sort of like Bella conveniently having a passport in New Moon because Renee and Phil had originally thought about getting married in Mexico or whatever. She comes up with ideas and then justifies them after the fact. Or doesn't. Which is fine, I'm sure a lot of authors do that, but it Twilight has such in-the-moment vibes that it kind of sweeps you along and while you're reading you're not so much like "wait. . . how would Bella know what Renee said to Charlie?" until thinking back on it after the fact.

At least that was my experience; on my initial read, for example, I totally missed that Bella meeting the Cullens at their house and playing baseball/running from James was the same day. Somehow it felt like more time had passed but no they literally met her that day and Rosalie's "why should I?" attitude makes more sense in that context. They really DON'T know her at all.

okay but as someone who was raised by an impulsive and over-sharing mom, I can totally see Renee just offhandedly telling Bella the exact way that she left her dad without a second thought as to how that might be inappropriate/weird/traumatizing

I find myself getting less and less ambitious the older I get.

When I was graduating high school I wanted to do great things and be super famous and change the world.  Now I just want to hang out and not bother anybody.

do you want to know something?? I always wondered what the hell kind of hairstyle the Ancient Egyptians were trying to portray with depictions like these

and this

until I did my hair this morning and 

oh

welp

you can take the noses off our statues but until you find a way to take Egypt out of Africa we’re still going to find ourselves

[are-you-even-gluten-free-bro]

I’m reblogging this post without all the salty, racist commentary because I’m sick of looking at it. please spread this around again in its pure form for posterity.

[hotboytev]

What’s funny is that white people thought they were hats/crowns 😂

Here’s a really good post about this.

And here’s some pictures of the Afar people, who still live on the horn of Africa today.

Cool, huh?

Beautiful

[jasoncanty01]

People thought it was Hats and Crowns? How could they not see hair?

[ohgodshesloose]

The same reason archaeologists, upon finding a woman’s skeleton in the grave of a famous Roman gladiator, immediately wondered where the gladiator’s skeleton was: Old Straight White Man™ brand denial.

[vaspider]

Same way they denied the Really Gay Egyptian Tomb, too. It’s kind of a Thing.

This post is amazing, I’m so glad it exists. I have learned.

[lapunkrockmere-deactivated20170]

There is so much greatness in this post and all white people care about is defending why they thought the depictions are hats. White people??? Why are you like this???

[so-much-history-in-these-streets]

I’m salty as fuck that we were taught they were crowns at SCHOOL. For Christ sake.

[archaeologysucks]

This is why Eurocentrism is bad for archaeology, and we really need race and gender theory. We can only learn about the past if we’re able to ask the right kinds of questions.

I agree with the message but?! this is tone deaf coming from one of the elitist, most prestigious fashion events in the world. you are rich to even be invited, an event where the ticket is literally $30,000…. I’m gonna eat YOU

[urban-spaceman]

None of you people understand the actual reality of how much the ultra-rich hoard. Aoc is not even a blip on the radar of rich. Aoc grew up poor in the bronx and continued to work as a bartender while she was on the campaing trail.

Is she wealthier than the average person? Yeah. No shit sherlock. But does she qualify…as RICH?? My fam…my guy….my bud…..the answer is simply No.

Aoc wants to tax the 1%. The people who can afford to buy space programs, influence elections and send countries to war.

She is not referring to…like….lil nas x here. Shes referring to jeff fucking bezos.

Please learn the difference between BEING WEALTHY (aoc) and being RICH (bezos, gates, etc)

[portraitofalarryonfire]

Also this is just a classic case of the left trying to eat itself.

Some of you really need to ask why you’re trying to drag one of the most progressive American politicians for this. I mean for one, if any of us could afford to go we would, let’s not pretend lol. But secondly, damned if she does damned if she doesn’t right? If AOC attended and didn’t have a political statement, she’d be dragged. If she attended and did, she’d be dragged. If it came out that she had the opportunity to use her platform to make a statement at the event and she refused, she’d be dragged.

Some of you really think you’re achieving something by helping the right dunk on progressive figures for literally nothing, when AOC is the one who bothered to run for her position and put in the work and is sticking her neck out. Tumblr and Twitters love of dragging progressives who actually do the work is embarrassing. You all know rightists don’t care if you cancel them so you spend your time picking at the actions of the most progressive voices doing the work, from behind your screen.

AOC actually thought she was going to die when the Capital was stormed because she’s the figurehead of progressive politics, and you think you’re better than her because she went out and did something fun for once?

[anyroads]

Politicians are often invited to the Met Gala. As AOC herself said, “BEFORE anybody starts wilding out - NYC elected officials are regularly invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing our city’s cultural institutions that serve the public. I was one of several in attendance.” Anna Wintour will often invite people to the Met Gala who she thinks will make it look good, and who don’t have to pay for their ticket. AOC also made sure her hair, makeup, and dress were all done by BIPOC/women/LGBT folks. Y’all are so quick to hate on anyone, you don’t even stop to check your facts, or how many of the sources criticizing AOC are legit blogs. This is how y’all get swayed by trollbots without even knowing it. And you def don’t check yourselves and how eager you are to tear down a WOC in a position of power.

[sometimesrosy]

I heat people calling her a ‘hypocrite’ for this. She is not a hypocrite. She took advantage of what I assume was a free invite to a place with a global audience AND lots of rich people, and she made a political statement. She put the show into context, also fitting the assignment. What’s more American than empowering the lower classes? And class conflict. Rebellion, free speech. Is it the most couture dress? Nope. But I like it.

Once again yall this blog [derogatory] is for me and me alone. You do not need to send me a message telling me you’re unfollowing me because I talk too much about my family.

Number one - I have been with my husband since I started on tumblr in 2012. Sure we were best friends and teens, but I have been sharing bat shit things about him and my parents here for a decade loves, I just have another tiny human to fascinate and amaze me now.

Number two - if I am up until 3am feeding this unencumbered embryo then it is my god given right to get absolutely feral on main

[emistar070]

Oh yeah, definitely your right to do that. I'm not entirely sure it's God given, but totally go off😁😈🥰
