Random posts of things I like. 22 years old, uni student, Spanish and a bit weird, like everyone else in this world I guess

[beautifyings]

I hate when people call randomly… like if you’re not the love of my life or my mother, please text to schedule an appointment first.

The letter didn’t come from the Nazi party, but from the publishing house which had expressed an interest in the German translation of The Hobbit. Tolkien’s response really is a thing of beauty, though, so it deserves to be quoted in its entirety:

25 July 1938                                              20 Northmoor Road, Oxford

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. … I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearings whatsoever on the merits of my work or its suitability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully

J.R.R. Tolkien.

(Letter 30)

The Hobbit wasn’t published in German until 1957.

[correspondingnerd]

This might just be the politest “fuck you” ever written.

[geekandmisandry]

W.h.a.t.

[bramblepatch]

Not just “I wish I had Jewish ancestors, but I don’t,” but also “you do realize that’s not what ‘Aryan’ actually means, right,” and “you guys are making it pretty hard to be proud of my German heritage.”

[baetology]

Ya MCM said ew when you told him you were on your period. He’s 27.

[gcodegfb]

That shit is forever nasty lol

[strangertingshappen-deactivated]

How

[gcodegfb]

Bruh like what are you supposed to do with it? Play in it? Come on now

[baetology]

Ya MCM thinks periods are nasty because he can’t play in it. He was born in 1986.

[chiefxwill]

periods arent nasty but woman arent supposed to have them its actually poor diet that causes them look it up just a fun fact 

[baetology]

Ya MCM thinks periods are a result of a poor diet. He’s over 18.

[the-rhyming-ape]

This nigga thinks periods are like optional. And was confident enough to try to tell a woman with a vagina that that was a fact. The internet is wild bruh.

[marqweabyss]

W i l d. and he deadass.

[blackboyjoy]

…………

I’m so glad I had comprehensive health classes in school. I couldn’t imagine being that dense

[this-lov3-is]

Actually, he’s not wrong. For Black women, a period is called such because it should LITERALLY appear to be a drop of blood, hence a PERIOD. Heavy blood flow is caused from hemorrhaging in the system, which isn’t natural. That’s why it hurts, as I would imagine. It really does involve diet.

[baetology]

Ya MCM thinks black women menstruate in a different way than other women.

[sugarmacaron]

I am literally going to end my life. It’s called a period as in period of time. A period of time I wish your mothers had not missed

[pronounrespecter]

i am genuinely having an out of body experience

[7pubes-deactivated20190611]

I think this post gave me a panic attack tbh.

[torixvci]

Wtf…. did I just read

[bezoarcureforpoison]

That’s two entirely separate people who think healthy women aren’t supposed to menstruate? How? How are they so stupid and ill-informed?

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

There’s another dumbass in the notes who thinks the period is made of “rotted uterus skin”.

[thefoxbeast]

Remember that US senator who thought women could “hold it in” and therefore rude for taking time from work go to the bathroom to address the bleeding, and that tampons were sexually pleasurable and so should be taxed as luxury items? Yeah.

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

My bestie’s sister’s ex thought the egg explodes when it’s not used and that’s what causes the period.

An action being “punishable by a fine” basically means “legal for rich people”.

[gnotknormal]

Oh wow. That’s…

[icarus-tanning-solutions]

I once dated a rich guy and if I said “Hey it’s illegal to drink on the street” he’d respond with “Nah, it just costs £150″, or “You can’t park here!” “Yeh I can it costs £35″ like… literally… that’s how he saw fines, it was just how much you paid to do the thing. 

[invaderxan]

Reminds me of the double red lines in London. They exist because rich people kept parking on double yellow lines (which mean “no parking” in the UK) and then just paying the fines. So London started putting double red lines on major roads. If you park on double red lines, they don’t give you a ticket. They tow your car away and crush it. 

I like that.

[stormingwinter]

For rich people, it stops being a fine and starts being a fee

[esmeriandreamer]

This is why I approve of getting a fine based on your income.

Actual text from my sister when Katelyn debuted this “Holy shit. Katelyn Ohashi’s routine this year.”

[lovingtheroyals]

College, and specifically UCLA, gymnastics seems like such a fun and encouraging place. I love how she’s genuinely smiling throughout the entire video and how her teammates are cheering her on and truly loving and supporting her throughout her routine. I hope we can get more of this in sports!

[duchessofostergotlands]

My favourite thing is the fact her team mates do parts of the routine with her. It’s so cute. And I love her

[muvataughtme-deactivated2021040]

Whoa! She’s fantastic and y’all know I love Michael ❤️
