Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.
Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y'all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.
(Side-eyes) ;3
I just know they fucking but I can’t prove it …

HONESTLY THOUGH
THIS IS BOTH ACCURATE AND EFFECTIVE
Urgent Care is for your "Oh no!" accidents.
Emergency Care is for your "Oh fuck!" accidents.
yeah okay ill reblog that!
we've got a life to love living.
advice that has literally saved and improved my life
Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.
Time for my favorite chart!
Notice billions ain't even on there. Outliers something something.
The wild thing is how many of those $200,000 surgeons think they’re “the rich” and vote that way. Orchestrating that is the greatest trick the devil ever played.
Notice that chart says liquid assets which are assets that can be turned into cash very quickly or cash itself. A house for example isn’t a liquid asset because it’s a huge pain in the ass to sell it. Most stocks are liquid because you can just sell them as soon as the market opens and get your money in less than a week. This chart isn’t based on income but basically how much cash and cash equivalents you have on hand.
A lot of folks making $200,000 a year might still fall into level one or two on this chart.
slightly obvious question: do landlords count as "the rich" by this metric? Or does the work they should be doing to keep their tenants content and their properties upright actually count as work?
Hi Butterfly! A random question, but do we know anything about the funeral customs of other Westerosi houses? We know the Tullys burn their dead in a river pyre and that the Starks (at least the significant ones) are kept in the crypt below Winterfell, but how about the Lannisters? Tyrells? Is there a norm of burial rites in Westeros or is it every house to themselves, so to speak? Thank you in advance!
Funeral customs in Westeros vary. For most, it is standard earth burial. A body is often given to the Silent Sisters to be prepared for the grave. If it is to lie in state at any time, they will remove the blood and organs and stuff the body with salt and herbs to delay decomposition. If transport is needed, they will reduce the body down to bones. When a body is buried, if a person follows the Faith of the Seven, sometimes a crystal is placed on the grave.
We do know that some Great Houses have specific burial customs, as you mentioned.
House Targaryen: cremation, in a pyre. (If a dragon is available, its flames light the pyre.) The ashes of some Targaryens are interred beneath the Red Keep, but presumably some were also interred at Dragonstone and Summerhall.
House Tully: the Hollywood “Viking funeral” – the body is placed on a boat sent out on to the Trident river, and then a flaming arrow is shot to light the pyre.
House Stark: the family is interred in tombs within the crypts beneath Winterfell. (Every Stark, not just the significant ones.) A King in the North or Lord of Winterfell is given a stone statue outside his tomb, depicting him seated, a sword (a real iron sword) across his lap. Also, faithful servants are buried in the lichyard near the First Keep.
House Lannister: interred in the Hall of Heroes beneath Casterly Rock. We don’t have many details, but presumably it’s some kind of crypt, where the armor of hundreds of Lannister knights, lords, and kings stands guard.
We don’t have any details for the Arryns, Baratheons, Greyjoys, Martells, or Tyrells, I’m afraid. But I could see the Arryns preferring sky burial, especially because of the limited amount of room on the mountain (the Eyrie is the smallest of the great castles), the difficulty of burial in the stony soil, and their association with falcons. Those who follow the Drowned God believe a death at sea is a good death, and believe that “no true son of the sea would want to rot beneath the ground”, so I could see the Greyjoys (and other ironborn) preferring burial at sea, perhaps with the body sewn in sailcloth, to be sent down to the Drowned God’s watery halls. As for the others, I really couldn’t say – but perhaps we’ll get more information about them as well as the Arryns and Greyjoys, and further info about the Lannisters, in future books.
Hope that helps!
Given the location and history of Storm's End I can see Baratheon funerary rites having something to do with storms and the ocean, too. If not burial by sea just before, during, or after a storm, then certainly an "Irish wake" set during a storm wherein the goal is to celebrate the deceased loud enough to compete with the thunder overhead. Especially given their spirited and fearsome natures. I can also see them having standard burials over a sea burial, but Shipbreaker Bay is RIGHT THERE and you can't tell me those partying/fighting/carousing Baratheons wouldn't consider it an honor to be broken on the sea floor, under the fury of their gods, when their time came. I can also see them leaving their dead out during a storm before burial as a tribute to the gods.

To be totally fair to Willy Wonka, at least a couple of those candy factory casualties involved kids deliberately circumventing reasonable safeguards, sometimes aided and abetted by the parents who were supposed to be supervising them. What happened is at most 60% his fault.

congratulations to today’s lucky 10000
mighty nein: "do you know this (random obscure thing)?"
beau and caleb: *with tears in their eyes* "we don't know much about it, we only know that (facts about that thing that even other scholars find impressive). we wish we knew more 🥺"
the rest of the nein: "that's alright. you've been a great help! let's make a plan-"
beau and caleb: "🧎♀️🧎♂️no, we will correct our mistake. we will make a trip to the library and return with our findings 😔. we shall return in three to five business days. this is non-negotiable."
“lost my train of thought” doesn’t even begin to cover it. it’s like fucking deutsche bahn up there
i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

I have been screaming "it's not AI it is--AT. BEST.--VI, and that is a stretch!" since this whole bullshit farce started. Oh the trials of a Tony Stark fan who deep-dived into AI creation and theory for fic writing purposes
Nott stealing Caleb a pillow after hearing he's gone without one for a long time? Caleb carrying her across the water when he sees she's antsy about it? Both of them of immediately jumping to defend the other when Beau threatens them? WHAT IF I CRIED??????
