Ed Sheeran cannot undo this now that I have done it.
My people! I mixed a thing! Go listen, it’s proof that Ed Sheeran cannot come up with a unique meter! (Ed Sheeran and TLC retain all rights to their music.)
So, I’ve been gone a while....
And I came across something I wrote after Robin Williams left this plane of existence. I find it even more applicable now, because on January 30, 2017, a little more than six months ago, my cousin also took his own life. It was sudden. It hurt.
Boy. Did it hurt.
My cousin was a vetern of the US Army. He was deployed thrice. He never talked, that I know of, about what he and his battle buddies saw.
Before you ask, no, we do NOT know if his experience in the military was a factor in his choice to clock out.
It could have been many things. He and his wife, the mother of his only daughter, had divorced and had been having a rather difficult time of it.
He had just become a trucker.
His ex moved across the country with his daughter.
He doted on his daughter.
We don’t really know. Won’t until I see him again on the other side.
But this that I wrote so long ago is more relevant now.
I paste it here for those who need it.
Myself included.
“for those who have left too soon for their own reasons and by their own hands.
for those who know someone who left too soon for their own reasons, by their own hands.
for those who tried to hold those hands, and made a difference.
for those who tried to hold those hands, and made no difference.
for anyone who had a friend who held another friend’s hands, and made one difference or none.
for everyone else who has been fortunate enough to never encounter this in any way close to their homes, hearts, or their close friends’ home or hearts.
in other words -
for the world. for the world.”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer head canon fridge horror
Alright, y'all. This is how it goes. Legends say that when a vampire sires another, the sire can mentally (telepathically) command the new vamp to do anything, saves time on the ordering around thing. Watching season three helpless, we see the insane vamp who is Buffy's task create an underling, and then start talking bout a song stuck in his head while the underling picks up the ax and frees him from the box without being asked or told what to do. Now, when Angelus tortured Drusilla's whole family, and then turned her, why didn't she retaliate against him, cause we know from Spike's memory of his mom's transformation that she laid into him?! Why didn't Dru kick Angelus's pasty evil behind? Because he told her to love him and chill. With his sire's gift of control. When Angel loses that pesky soul in season two, Dru goes right back to him. Why? Angelus is her sire, and he tells her to. And when Dru and Spike are obviously so not right for each other post Acathla, why does it take so long for Spike to leave her? To start going after who he really loves, Buffy? Because Dru told him not to. With her sire's gift over his mind.
this is funny
like really, really funny
You sly bugger. That took me a while.
I have googled my life away. I have read bible verses. I have studied the ohilosophical meaning behind the numbers. I have become a modern Gallup trying to ask people to help me figure this out. What the FUCK does it mean.
Reblog when you get it…
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY WHAT DOES IT MEAN
ooohhhhhhh
If I didn’t have a lisp I don’t think I would have got it tbh
It took me a while but the lisp thing helped
My sister was given a stuffed otter to go with her stuffed hedgehog this evening for her week early birthday gift by our other sister. Upon staging pics to then send to the sister who gifted the gift to this sister, we came across a photo that, when recreated with the stuffies, made the whole world seem right. For your viewing pleasure, here is Martin FreeHedge and Benedict OtterBatch, impersonating their namesakes... Without moving a muscle.
Ok, this is the link to my own theory for the Raptors in Jurassic Park 1, 2, and 3. Please, share and enjoy, because I know I am right!!!!

ferguson missouri... more food for thought. found from a friend who was a sherriff's deputy in Hot Springs Arkansas area for 30 years, who saw plenty of corrupt workers in his time in our area, and who continues to pay attention and advocate for the inncoents who need his and our support. I trust this friend, and so i give you a thing he shared, to spread the word of this hatred and obscene immorality coming to us from just one state above my own.
Chaos in Ferguson. Sunday night, part 4
[part 1] [part 2] [part 3]
Reminder that:
- no, this isn’t over; - no, these aren’t from earlier in the week; - no, everything isn’t alright now; - no, the police haven’t stopped brutalizing peaceful protesters; - no, police haven’t intervened to stop the looting; - no, police haven’t responded to emergency 911 calls for people injured by rubber bullets or children hit by cars; - no, michael brown’s shooter still has not faced any consequences for murdering an unarmed teenager 9 days ago
To those who believe the media reports:
Look at the time stamps. The media is reporting that police clashed with protesters last night because they were breaking curfew. Curfew doesn’t start til Midnight. All of these were before 11pm.
The media says militarized assaults have been pulled out of Ferguson. Look at the photos. These are still militarized. Read the reports. This is still militarized.
Do not believe it when people are telling you things are okay in Ferguson, and that it is the fault of the protestors. The protestors are being vilified just like Brown so that the cops have a reason to stay there and continue trying to silence those speaking out about the ILLEGAL activities of the officers. Just because they wear a uniform doesn’t make them right. Please don’t defend men who are using their badges as a shield for their hatred and immorality.
Please, please, PLEASE spread the word so that people can realize what’s happening there. I only found out about this a few days ago because nobody is talking about it. Or if they do, they’re talking about violent protestors running wild through the streets with brave cops risking their lives to protect the peace. And that is sick, because it’s the opposite of what’s happening.
reblogging for ferguson - a new Rwanda.
Me trying to determine what to do with my life...
Brain: OOOOHHH, you could open an animal shelter, AND a summer camp for kids, AND have a horse or two and a cart just to be awesome, AND own your house, AND live in the middle of nowhere with a garden AND a well AND hunt your own food AND have goats AND pigs AND chickens AND a cow AND....
My Bank Account: you have zero dollars AND three pennies.
My Dreams: we'll just hide in the corner for now..... carry on.

Thought I’d bring this back, with NaNo coming up and all…
Reblogging for my NaNoWriMo days. Hey guys, this is my fifth time doing NaNo! So excited.
this may be only my first time to try nanowrimo, but, BY ASGARD, I WILL NANOWRIMO!
Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt. She has a lovely smile for someone who’s been dead for thousands of years.
she wasn’t a queen. she was a pharaoh and wanted to be referred to as such. she even had her statues modeled after the male pharaoh’s statues to state her dominance and authority. she was actually one of the most successful pharaohs in all of ancient egyptian history and she reigned longer than any other woman in power in egypt.
damn no wonder she died and smiled for a trillion years afterwards
The fact that we know about her is marvelous.
the next Pharaoh after her Tuthmosis III tried to erase Hatshepsut out of history ,chiseled her name off her monuments ,covered the text on her obelisks with stone,knocked down and defaced her statues .
she was even left off the list of pharaohs ..talk about some patriarchy bullshit
her name was lost for a couple of millennia, her body was found in a unmarked grave in early twentieth century
sad part is in Egyptian belief is if your are forgotten in the living world you don’t exist in the afterlife,so he was trying to kill her even in death
My best friend throwing down some herstory. A+ commentary
She wore a fake beard, you guys. She was the fucking boss.
If we remember her now does that save her from an awful afterlife?
I’m just picturing the Kemetic afterlife. All the Pharaohs are hanging out in some kind of swanky club, drinking and congratulating each other on being bros.
The doors slam open and Hatshepsut strides in, glorious, robes swirling, rocking the fake beard and the insane amounts of wealth and power. “Miss me, bitches?”
Seriously, she wore male clothes. Not just the beard, but the clothes. The guys didn’t wear shirts! She was so adamant about being king that she walked around shirtless. And women didn’t have bras then! She walked around just like a man, boobs showing and all! She was a kingand proudly so! Yet everything that I find about her calls her a queen.
I’m just thinking that if she was near you, and you said “Queen Hatshepsut”, she’d slap the snot out of you. No, she wouldn’t even slap. She’d punch.
*taps mic nervously*
Um, pardon me. Let’s not forget the real story…
King Hatshepsut was not erased from history because she was a woman. There is no “patriarchal BS” going on. She was erased from history because Thutmose III was bitter that she had taken up so many years of what “should have been” his prime rule. She also re-opened trade with outside nations, which scared many Egyptians, who had a long policy of isolationism based on religious values. Also, she traced her lineage to the Egyptian mother goddess, who was goddess of ALL the gods and goddesses, which Thutmose III found threatening (he wasn’t her son, he was son of the and heretical.
The people loved her, however, so he couldn’t just erase her from the afterlife without a cause. So, he used the only thing he could— her affair with her lover. See, Egyptians believed in loyalty by the woman to her dead husband, so any affair after his death was worthy of death. So he used that as an excuse to ‘punish’ her, by which he really meant destroy her chances of coming back in the afterlife. So he erased her from all writing (because your name was your ticket to the after life), and kicked her out of her tomb into an unmarked one.
But then how do we know her name?
That, my friends, is the greatest love story of ancient Egypt.
Her lover found out about Thutmose III’s scheme to destroy her, so he detective’d her final resting place from servants and workers who had helped. Then he snuck in, a feat that, in their religion, meant he would be damned for eternity because he disturbed someone’s final rest. He broke into her tomb, and under a bench where nobody who came in after him could see, he chiseled her name so that she may go on to the afterlife.
and then, he died. because he wanted to go with her, so they could finally be together, without people judging. Now you know the whole story.
An awesome lady, bereft of her lord husband, filled his shoes, uplifted the realm, and changed her world.
She fell in love with someone else, but the love was forbidden.
After her death and burial, her successor tried to erase her from time, space, and memory.
Her lover found out the plot, wheedled the location her body was disrespectfully removed to, broke into her tomb, forfeiting his own salvation, desecrated a wall in her burial chamber to write her name and ensure her salvation, and died in the dark recesses of the earth, pining and waiting to rejoin her whom he loved.
