Hate to be that person, but WW3 trend on TikTok is not funny at all, especially your stupid POVs. Because no, Jessica from Chicago, you won’t have to hide in the basement to avoid being nuked and no, Kyle from LA, you won’t get drafted to the front lines. 

You again missed the whole point and managed to make this situation all about yourself, so I’m going to assure your stupid ass - this war is not going to affect you in any way, but you know who it’s going to affect? Actual people from Ukraine, who are going to lose their lives and be displaced from their homes, just like for the past 8 years. 

So congratulations on your stupidity, because it’s not about “I need a way to cope 🥺🥺🥺”, it’s about you celebrating and making fun of other people’s death.

Classic. Privileged Americans using foreign suffering for monetary gain. Nothing more American than that.

I keep seeing posts that are like:

Person #1: *Meme about breaking news* Person #2: I can’t keep learning the news like this. Person #3: If you’re going to a circus, expect to see clowns.

But the thing is, sure, everyone on tumblr expects to see clowns.

What we don’t expect is for the clowns to do this:

And this has been the exact energy of this website for months.

Gráinne Ni Mháille (Grace O’Malley)

1. During her life, England attempted to colonize Ireland by demanding the abandonment of Gaelic culture and language.

2. Grace was a member of Gaelic aristocracy. Her father ruled the Connacht and earned his living at sea in trade and piracy.

3. Though she married, she became leader of the Connacht, and her husband’s clan and land holdings. After her father was killed by the English, she took over his business.

4. Grace became a pirate overlord in the subsequent years. So lethal was she, that Elizabeth I ordered her men to surrender. In rage, they destroyed her lands and stole her wealth.

5. Grace presented her case to the queen, and was awarded back her wealth. Actions were taken to restore her lands.

I love so much about this tiny clip from Doctor Who Confidential

David tries to protect Freema & Catherine from his earth-shattering sneeze by moving away from them

Freema covers her ears to protect herself from the sound-barrier breaking blast

Catherine is 100% not bothered.  Not even the tiniest flinch

That the producers of Doctor Who Confidential thought David’s sneeze (and Freema & Catherine’s reactions - or lack thereof) was worth including in the episode - and I thank them for it

Helpful sneeze video link: [ x ]

Beauty fads that were actually deadly

Hatshepsut

1. In many images she is depicted as a man. She is one of the few and most famous female pharaohs in Egyptian history.

2. She was acting regent for her stepson Thutmose III, but later became full pharoah around 1473 B.C.

3. Her presence and reign were almost erased from history by Thutmose III, but hieroglyphics discovered in the Temple Deir el-Bahri in the early 1800’s began a research project into a powerful woman pharoah.

Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi

1. By the time she was a teenager, Laxmibai could read, write, ride a horse, and wield a sword. All things that were taboo for Indian women in those days.

2. After marrying Raja Gangadhar, she became queen of the Maratha princely state of Jhansi (present day Uttar Pradesh, India).

3. When the British, annexed her realm and stripped her of her power, she led the Indian Rebellion of 1857. She led soldiers, landowners, and townspeople against the British in India’s first battle for independence. She died in battle in June of 1858.

Invoking the name of Martin Luther King Jr during the protest of today, disrespect his memory. MLK advocated equality, love, and peaceful solutions in the face of violence.

Malcolm X loathed MLK and his ideals. He advocated riots, violence, and war with the white man.

If you are going to put a face and hero to your movement, first you must follow what they taught and believed in. I do not support racists and their hateful actions. I do believe in justice, and peaceful protests of said racism and its violence. However, do not become a racist while fighting racism.

Yelling helps no one, educating yourself and others on the issues is what solves them.

REIGN (2013—2017) 1x13: “The Consummation”

[historicallyaccurkate]

While this show may be aesthetically pleasing. It is not accurate. Please do not base your knowledge of historical events on dramas or films. I am noticing more and more a false education.

Any media depiction of a historical period or figure, is based on the writer and directors research and opinion of their specific subject. Times, events, and even characteristics may be manipulated for the sake of ratings and relevance.

Works of fiction are different, but if you are watching a historical account, please do your research so that you are properly informed.

Plebeian: Henry VIII did nothing but have scandalous marriages and affairs. Ugh.

Intellectual: Henry VIII established centralized local government and released Britain from religious tyranny. His highest achievement being the redistribution of so much land in today’s market would be equal to £1 trillion. This paved the way for the prosperous commonwealth.
