It occurs to me that there are people who werenāt on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:
Itās been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
YOOOOO iCAN ACTUALLY HEAR THAT STUFF?!?!?!?!?!
Thunk.Ā
ThunkĀ
Thunk
BUT HOW?!?!
i canāt hear it but i can sort of feel it? is it like in rhythm with my heart or something?
I can hear it š
Like to charge, reblog to castā¦
The more weāre advancing in this timeline the less fucks AOC is giving and Iām endlessly here for itĀ
Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh.Ā
i feel as though ravenclaws would have driven Hermione Granger up a wall they neVER DO THEIR HOMEWORK??? I though this was the smart house???? and Ravenclaws are like yeah kay but GET THIS DID YOU KNOW AN ANIMAGUS - but potions homework - who even CARES about potions right now Iām researching this COOLER THING uncouple the idea of āsmartā with the idea of āgood at schoolā
I bet for the professors teaching Ravenclaws is like herding cats away from empty boxes.
Older Ravenclaws have finely honed the art of asking just the right argumentative questions to direct their teacher onto an entire-class-session-long tangent about something entirely irrelevant to the course material.Ā
Can you imagine Ravenclaws trying to overhaul the entire school system with Muggle ideas. Trying to figure out how to best teach people, more concerned with how people learn than what theyāre learning.
āWhy do we force people to learn things they arenāt interested in, we should create our own curriculum.ā
āWe should figure out everyoneās learning styles.ā
āWe need smaller class sizes.ā
āNo, no, wait, guys, what if we eliminated grades entirely.ā
Yeah, Ravenclaws would drive Hermione up the wall.
āFire the whole staff and start over.ā
āPresent more opportunities for seventh-year independent research!ā
āWhy hasnāt anyone made magically modified calculators yet?ā
āWhy are we still using quills and parchment when pencils exist? Please explain.ā āI donāt want to enter the work force directly after school, what are my options for higher education? Is there magical university?ā āI donāt feel confident in my professorās qualifications because sheās teaching me astrology but doesnāt know any facts about space beyond about the year 1764.ā
Muggleborn Ravenclaws forming rogue study groups to teach other students chemistry and algebra and English literature, just imagine.Ā
āThey call this the astronomy tower but weāre learning about the effects of Venus when itās in the fourth house and the professor doesnāt believe Neptune is a planet I am really concerned.ā
āOkay but whatās the oxidation state of Mandrake root in pepperup potion?ā
āBut can you apply differential calculus to arithmancy or not?āĀ
āThe portrayal of the witches in MacbethĀ has some pretty troubling implications, also, I donāt think their potion would have actually done anything.ā
I canāt not reblog this holy frick
okay so Iāve seen a lot of artists,including myself, make this common mistake of coloring the palm of Ā a hand(and the sole of a foot) as the same color as the personās skin tone.
but in fact ,palms and soles are a different color compare to our skin
this is due to the lack ofĀ Melanin on them
hope this helps!
Donāt put this fucking whitewashing bullshit on my feed
Huh???????????

āLooting? I thought these were supposed to be nonviolent protestsā
I know itās incredible! People are literally coming out of the woodwork to comment on this photoset to focus on the looting headline with āwell yes it is nice they were helping people hit with the tear gas, but stealing is still wrong uwuā as if theyāre back to kindergarten morality.
Like everyone whoās gone to boot camp Iāve been tear gassed. They put about 50+ of you in a gas chamber and toss it in. You have to stay there until your rank is allowed to exit. Before that though, you have to say your name, rank, and social security number. You then exit and file into ranks (again) outside and are not allowed at any point to rinse your face or eyes for the entire day.
That right there? Easily the worst part of boot camp. My eyes were literally swollen shut. I was blinded for a good 30 minutes and my chest hurt for days.
I have zero problem and not and ounce of judgement for people raiding a mcdonalds that can easily afford to repair damage for ANYTHING to help ease the shittiness that is being tear gassed. Esp because every one of us in boot were medically sound to deal with tear gas. Children, asthmatics, people prone to panic and anxiety attacks, the elderly as sooo many more are NOT going to handle tear gas well at ALL.
Or that smoke the police use either.
Itās easy to sit there and judge someone from the safety of your home and say things like āitās just tear gasā or āit canāt be that badā.
Fuck you. As someone who HAS been gassed, you need to stfu.
I remember all the preparation they did to get us ready for the gas chamber in boot camp. We were taught how to handle ourselves, how to control our breathing, not to touch anything, how to avoid the worst of the gas. But it still didnāt matter. I remember taking in that first breath and feeling like I had just been kicked in the chest. I remember a few guys in my platoon falling down and vomiting. We knew the gas wasnāt as bad on the floor but we were the fifth platoon through and the vomit kept us from bending over more than absolutely necessary. I remember a few guys, guys in peak health training to be infantrymen, breaking ranks and running for the door only to be dragged back in kicking and screaming until they said name, rank and serial. They were expecting it, trained for it, bragging about how it wouldnāt bother them. I remember standing there with all of the mucus from my nasal cavity on the front of my ACUs and thinking to myself āThis is the nonviolent option?ā Covered head to toe and my skin still itching I looked down at the silver wedding band hanging next to my dog tags and realized that the gas had eaten little pits into its surface. I stood there and thought of all the news reports I had seen over the years. The uprisings and revolutionaries being gassed, the crowds running from men in masks. Thatās the moment I got it, staring at my ruined wedding band, thatās the moment I realized terrorism isnāt about bombs or who is using them. Itās about controlling people through fear. Itās about removing their ability to act reasonably, to make them seem like the monsters. Terrorism is about triggering people to fight or flight then blaming them for not being rational. Itās about power. Remove someoneās power to act with reason, and you remove their humanity.
Oh fuck
My god this commentary is perfect. Also a reminder that it turned out this ālootingā was not that at all, the police bust that window with a bullet and the staff were gracious enough to hand milk out it seems, the protestors did not break in but even if they did just look at what they were trying to do with that milk, look at what they went through. The immense endurance thatās been shown by the people of Ferguson in the face of all this is incredible.

There are tears in my eyes.
High School Fashion, 1969
What a trip.
Wow these photos are stunning
Some of these outfits are the raddest things Iāve ever seen.
Can we talk about the tights.
The existence of photos like these (and similar photos from the 70s and 80s and so on) makes me wonder yet again why current-day movies set in this time never seem to be able to get the hair and clothing right.
Okay, so the photoās are really good, the outfits are on point, itās very natural. but Iām going to call bullshit on that they are 1969 high school freshmen. For one they are all too beautiful to be high school freshman, of any era. And another the photography doesnāt look like photoās from the 1960ās or 70ās, itās much better. Iām no expert but, for the most part, iām pretty sure black and what was still standard, and color photoās didnāt look nearly this good unless they weāre taken by a professional camera, which I doubt many high school freshmen just had lying around.
Even a professional camera in this era wasnāt this good. It would still be more grainy. Just going by the surrounds and people in the background who obviously arenāt intended to be in the photo along with the hair, this is some modern college kidās pop culture project.
I donāt know, considering I have owned a Leica M3 from 1959, and a few other cameras from that era, a Nikon F, a 1962 original Minolta Hi-Matic and others from that era , and have got awesome shots with those cameras which are all35mm cameras, I fucking rent a Hasselblad 500C/M, introduced in 1957 for paid jobs because with good reversal (slide) film you can get super sharp 120 megapixel shots for a fraction of the cost of renting a 40 or 50 megapixel medium format system like a H4D because the negative is 6 by 6 cm. Okay, going back to the photos, grainy film can be the result of a lot of factors, mainly people not exposing correctly, people over developing or āforcingā film so that you can shoot with less light, or the use of high speed film for low light, those are exterior shots in the sun, so it was probably not āfastā film, or pushed film, it would probably be Kodachrome or Kodacolor X. Kodachrome is a colour reversal film, or slide film, it means you get a positive right after processing and it is meant to be projected via optical means, it can be printed but the process is different, it usually has higher contrast and more saturated colours, and also a really FINE GRAIN, also Kodachrome was invented in 1935.Ā
This is Kodachrome in 1949, It doesnāt say the format, but considering its not blurry with all the moving objects itās not a large format view camera (which have slow lenses and are not for action shots) It could be a 6 by 6 medium format but itās not square, it probably is 35mm. I donāt think itās Kodachrome because of the contrast and the saturation of the colours.Ā
Then Kodacolor X was invented in the 1950ā²s as a mean to make colour photography available for the general public, before that you could only get colour by using slide film which was much more expensive than B&W so it was used mainly by professional photographers. Kodacolor X is what is known as a Colour print film, it produces a negative, which is only viewable after printing it, and itās way more cheaper than slides, but still even thoseĀ āamateurā films can get pretty nice results for example:Ā
1968, itās square so probably is a Rolleiflex TLR or other 6 by 6 camera. so not really a fair comparison, then maybe this one:Ā
Itās 35mm because of the format, and you can see that the grain is more noticeable but not terrible, it looks like the pictures the OP posted. And Kodacolor X while not as cheap as B&W was pretty used by amateur photographers, and if it was aĀ āspecialā occasion, I donāt know the last day before summer or something like that it is plausible the photographer used colour print film. Finally to conclude the pictures arenāt that great composition wise, sure they are not terrible, but they are not good, all the subjects are at the center, there is too much air in some subjects are cut, or from their backs, this totally makes sense as a photo club kid taking colour pictures of their friends because it was a special occasion, or just wanted to test the film. Hell I donāt know how many times I have gone to take pictures of empty streets and buildings just to test a camera/film combination, and now thatās the most expensive way of taking pictures.Ā
Iām with @geekyastrophysicist on this one: there is no compelling reason to think those pics are fakes / not from the era stated. The grain and lens quality look very lateĀ ā60s to me, comparing them to slides my Dad took around that time. Judging from the bokeh (and assuming 35mm!), a lot of the shots are at around f/4 which isnāt super-huge-aperture for back then.Ā To me, the colours look classic, creamy Kodachrome. They have that magic. Thereās a reason Simon & Garfunkel wrote a song about it.Ā
Iām also slightly puzzled by the claims that modern digital tech is so much better than older tech. The truth is, digital imaging has been trying to equal film since the very first blocky images. Weāve had the megapixel race and now weāre in the dynamic bandwidth race. I took the below shot with a (then) very expensive digital camera and prime lens:Ā
But I was still trying to re-create the look of classic film photography, the warmth and colour gamut.Ā
Which is why a lot of photographers just simply cut out all the fuss and use film cameras with film when they want a film look. Neither digital nor film areĀ ābetter,ā itās a question of what best fits what you want to do.Ā
Friendly neighbourhood librarian here with a source!Ā
These photos were taken in 1969 for LIFE Magazine by professional photographer Arthur Schatz, many (but not all) at Beverly Hills High School in Southern California. Time Magazine ran a retrospective of the photo series a few years ago called Feelinā Groovy: High School Fashion, 1969.
The girl in the headband is named Rosemary Shoong, and she apparently made the outfit herself (that being said, itās described here as aĀ āleather Indian dressā by which they mean Native, and Iām not sure if she herself was part native or not, so it may or not be appropriated). A few of the other girls are named, but not all of them.Ā
My favourite image though, isnāt of one of the students, but rather of the teacher, Sandy Brockman:Ā
That outfit. That headband.
ICONIC.
Update: I found they actual article in Google Books; they are definitely real high school students!Ā https://books.google.com/books?id=CVEEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=rosemary+shoong&source=bl&ots=fqIC__55CX&sig=JUrEammCB_SQwrGXL8rgULURaek&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis0ILcyPLTAhVL6mMKHcc-CRsQ6AEISjAL#v=onepage&q=rosemary%20shoong&f=false
