albus dumbledore - the man who thought telling a school full of 11-18 year olds that one particular corridor was forbidden for no reason and expecting them to just go with it

frankly i’m more surprised that it apparently worked? either that or fluffy just ate the nosy kids

That night in the Shrieking Shack, Harry threw himself in front of Pettigrew to keep Remus and Sirius from killing him.

“I don’t reckon my dad would’ve wanted his best friends to become killers.”

These were the words he said. Sirius and Remus backed down, but not for the reasons Harry thought.

In truth, James probably would have understood if they’d killed Peter. If it was the other way around, there’s even a chance he’d have done the same. James Potter was not the reason Sirius and Remus backed down.

In that moment… in those words… the two men saw Lily. The flash of green eyes. The prevailing sense of justice. The absolute and ruthless kindness. The fierce insistence that revenge was not a viable answer.

They reckoned Lily Potter wouldn’t have wanted them to become killers, and so they didn’t.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that Finland’s new prime minister is Sanna Marin, a liberal left wing 34 year old woman, who comes from a queer family*, was the first one in her family to graduate high school and go to university, and she now has a master’s degree, a fiancé and a one year old daughter.

Oh and the coalition government that she’s the new prime minister of has four parties in addition to her party, all four of which are led by women and three of these women are in their 30s.

It’s been a while since i’ve felt optimistic about politics.

(*in Finland we speak of ”rainbow families”, usually meaning that the parents are queer, Marin hasn’t specified at least to my knowledge what it in her case specifically means.)

hey so, as a man who works with other men, here’s a quick relationship tip: if he doesn’t much like cats, that might be just a personal preference. if he hates cats, if he tells you he hates cats as soon as he hears that you have a cat and love your cat, he’s an asshole. he’s telling on himself.

every guy i’ve ever worked with that makes a point of telling me how much he hates cats as soon as i mention that i have a cat and love my cat, is always someone who is regularly cruel for fun and who laughs in the breakroom about the mean things they do for fun to their girlfriends and children.

I wish I could articulate all the ways this makes sense and why it makes sense and stuff but it’s just like… something something misogyny something something resentment of creatures that don’t need you and don’t hang on your attention and approval all their lives.

For the “Earth’s climate has changed before” crowd.

This is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. If you cannot give your dog the exercise and socialization it needs yourself, please do not own one.

Let me tell you about Balto. There was a lady in my town who owned a Siberian Husky named Balto that she would let him roam town and people either had to take him into their homes each night or call animal control.

Eventually all you’d have to say to them was “Balto’s loose again” and you wouldn’t even have to fill out anything. He was digging up gardens, shitting on people’s driveways, nearly run over 3 times (one of which caused a guy to swerve and hit a mailbox), he jumped someone’s fence and impregnated their Lab, he was forcefully removed from property by people who didn’t like dogs, had BB guns shot at him by kids, chased cats into trees and was eventually attacked by an aggressive dog. After a $500 vet bill, she let her dog back outside again! Her excuse was that she “couldn’t keep him in the yard”, which was just because he was a high energy breed and she worked 10 hrs a day, do she didn’t have the time to exercise him. So why pay $1100 for a high energy breed when you know you can’t handle one? Novelty. He was eventually picked up and sold online because he was a purebred, found him 8 hours away, after the person who bought him saw her post on facebook.

Some people may think they are doing the right thing by letting their pets roam freely, but we do not live in an idealistic society where everything is safe. There are wild animals that will find your pet an easy meal, there are people who will not slow down for an animal that runs into the road, and there are people who will hurt your pet if it comes near them, and they will breed, causing more unwanted pets to be brought into the world to be neglected because you didn’t want to give your dog exercise. Eventually Balto’s owner realized that she couldn’t handle his high energy needs anymore and dropped him off at the shelter, where he was adopted by a man who owned an acreage and had 6 other Siberian Huskies.
