A PERFECT PLANET - 1x01 - “Volcano”

During our Lockdown here in NZ the government ran schools lessons on a special channel and had different levels of education to cater for all ages. It was also put on one of our national free online streaming services (like Netflix) so it could be accessed easily at all times. Our national exams for students aged 15-17 were also delayed by a few weeks so students could have more time at school learning before sitting them, even though the exams were like five months after our lockdown ended

there’s some lucky Twitter staffer getting to play account suspension whack-a-mole with Trump tonight as he cycles through his various burner accounts and the accounts of his staff in an attempt to avoid his Twitter ban, and I will never reach the heights of euphoria they must be feeling right now getting to repeatedly shut Donald Trump up personally

It’s the same for people actually we just don’t know it yet

am i on crack or is this entire fucking year actually still happening?

Do you think Jessica Stanley has ever called Child Protective Services on the Cullens?

I think she’s the only person in Forks with the balls to

#twilight renaissance #twilight #twilight shitpost #the cullens #edward cullen #alice cullen #rosalie hale #jasper hale #emmett cullen #midnight sun #jessica stanley #bella swan

twilightssss

a list of things that make the cullens seem like a fucking cult

matching family crest jewellery - who tf wants to entirely associate themselves with their family at 17

only talking to each other - see above

the very fact that theyre all ‘adopted’ and ‘not blood relatives’ yet they all look similarly ethereal and have the same eye colour

dating each other - theyre very fucking committed for high schoolers…. bit weird

also the incest implications of dating each other

when one of them actually dates someone outside the family, she immediately becomes very close with all of them and rarely talks to anyone else

bella swan got married to a cullen straight out of high school and then completely disappeared

although she did keep in touch with charlie, who lives in forks and presumably has no plans to leave, and she is living nearby. probably people who knew her before have seen her and been like…. ‘did the cullens get her plastic surgery??? that’s weird’

bella was announced to be dead and yet people have probably seen a very beautiful version of her visiting her dad

her dad never even seemed to mourn her, despite the whole town knowing how much he loved and doted on her

there was no funeral for bella swan

are you really telling me that no one noticed the influx of visitors to the cullens and then the spree of disappearances in nearby cities?? really??

theyre hella fucking rich

buzzfeed unsolved voice today we’re looking at the mysterious case of the Cullen Family and the disappearance of Isabella Swan…

on sunny days this is a speech Jessica Stanley gives to the entire cafeteria at lunch and everyone just listens and nods in agreement

You know there's plenty to hate about the Harry potter franchise but has any other series had a scene as fucking TENSE as when the pope walks In, bangs his scepter on the floor, and demands a dobby pussy indulgence?

I’m either having a stroke as I read this or op had one writing it

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪

Honestly my brothers blind and there’s no way he’d leave the house without his cane because how else are other people supposed to know he’s low vision and to move around him in public places? Stamp BLIND on his forehead?

That being said the amount of average sighted people who STILL WALK INTO HIM WHEN HE HAS HIS WHITE CANE is insane like they all somehow expect the blind person to see them coming? And for him to move before he smacks them in the ankles with his cane?

Things to know about New Zealand:

You might not be able to understand us, but we can understand you. We grew up on a diet of international media and warped perceptions of what it means to be a teen

Our main highway that runs from one end of the country to another is really just a two lane country road in most parts

Please don’t say hobbits

Most white people can’t pronounce Maori correctly

Convenience stores are called ‘The Dairy’ here. Just go with it.

Despite our proclivity for farming, there are still townies who have never set foot on one

A third of the population lives in Auckland, which is honestly basically in Australia

Wellington is an honorary South Island city

A pie is not what you think it is

You can blame us for American Idol style talent shows

Not Tasmania

If a kiwi is talking about ‘College’ they mean high school. You can tell because it will be a story about that time they managed to convince a year 13 kid to buy them the good stuff

We loooooove roundabouts. Don’t come here without learning how to indicate correctly

Oh yeah we call turn signals ‘indicators’ and drive on the left hand side of the road so if you’re used to using roundabouts but drive on the right then good fucking luck figuring that out

Pre covid we used planes like buses. Its cheaper to fly to your destination than it is to drive half the time and takes an hour instead of a whole day

And the interisland ferry is fun but you can fly from Wellington to Nelson in 25 minutes instead of bobbing around in the ocean for 3 hours and then driving for another two

Ignore the temperature on the weather you really need to know if it’s sunny or overcast because we ain’t got no ozone layer and that shit will fry you in literally 10 minutes (I’m not kidding some days the burn time is that short)

Did I mention it takes forever to ever get anywhere because geography?

Do not. Mention. Hobbits.

'Yeah nah’ means no, and 'nah yeah’ means yes

You can be skiing at midday and on the beach sunbathing at 2pm, provided its that very specific day usually around September 23rd

2 weeks will get you around approximately 0.0001% of the country

We have 4 weeks paid leave here, that we use to either do different often more physically strenuous work, or torture ourselves with the Australian accent

Which reminds me hearing the Kiwi accent on a non NZ show is just fucked up and wrong

NO HOBBITS

lesbidreaming

Also when we talk about chilly bins we mean coolers

Lollies is the generic term for sweets/candy, lollipops are chupachups

Crisps are chips and fries are hot chips 👍

And lastly, when you try to pronounce place names you will almost certainly get it wrong 😂 so don’t be offended when corrected.

Call us Australian and die. Pick on an Australian and die. (We’re siblings)

Sweet as, bro.

Kiwi memes are very… specific. Ghost chips. Always blow on the pie. Beached as. Chesdale Cheese. Bugger.

State Highway Two (the second major road) is at one point a one lane wooden bridge.

Off-camber decreasing radius corners on the edge of a gorge (at night in a tropical cyclone) is a quintessentially Kiwi driving experience.

But don’t worry. She’ll be right.

Very, very few New Zealanders like Auckland or people from Auckland. Even some Aucklanders don’t like Auckland or other Aucklanders.

If you go swimming at a beach, try to make sure it’s a patrolled one with lifeguards in red and yellow, and swim between the flags.

The word ‘Kiwi’ in New Zealand applies to the bird or the people. Never the fruit. The fruit is almost exclusively referred to as ‘Kiwi fruit’.

We’re a pretty friendly bunch and will usually be happy to help with directions or advice, so long as you can understand the accent.

Don’t litter. Don’t leave things where they don’t belong. Don’t feed or annoy the wildlife. Nothing pisses off the entire country like people leaving rubbish everywhere. It makes the evening news if it’s bad enough.

Pay attention to signs about flora and fauna, particularly in places like National Parks. For the health of our country and endemic species, scrubbing your shoes before entering certain areas is necessary to prevent the spread of disease.

Also, when you enter New Zealand, make sure any shoes you’re bringing into the country are clean, especially hiking boots or other types of footwear that get very dirty. If they are dirty they’ll be seized at the border, either for a clean or for good.

And don’t bring fresh food into the country, only packaged food is allowed. That being said if you do bring in prohibited goods like fruit or plants, you might be filmed for our border security program and called a dumbass by everyone watching.

#enemies to lovers with a polyamourous relationship

just found the roast of the century on the Wikipedia page for New Zealand and Australia Etiquette

“You should treat people serving you as politely as you expect them to treat you, as both cultures (New Zealand and Australia) perceive themselves as highly egalitarian - to an extent far more than the US culture.”

“They are there to help you, but they are not your inferiors; they are fellow human beings.”

Wikipedia says respect your servers
