There is a crack in everything... That's how the light gets in

Sam. Fifty-something Canadian representative of the Tumblr geriatric ward! Here for the fic, the friendships, and the abject silliness you can only find when like minds meet over shared obsessions. I've been on this hellsite (affectionate) for a decade, so let me settle into my rocking chair on the porch and pour a cup of tea... I think I'm a lifer now. My blog is my happy place, bring your joy and your flails and your thinky thoughts, but check your wank at the door. I have no room in my life or on my blog for hate. Laugh hard, run fast, be kind.

my most lukewarm take is that I don't think there should be any exemptions for vaccines, etc., beyond documented legit adverse medical shit that makes it physically impossible. like they should be free and required and nobody should be allowed to just choose to leave their child and any immunocompromised person they interact with vulnerable to potentially deadly but entirely preventable diseases and other medical conditions.

[tharkuun]

my lukewarm addition to this is that i think refusing your child vaccines is child abuse, just like refusing to feed them

this is LITERALLY the funniest promotional piece that anyone has ever made for a tv show or movie ever

You, the queen of a fairy tale kingdom, got cursed to give birth to a princess who’s going to live her life isolated in a tower the first 20 years of her life. Narrate how you avoid your daughter’s fate.

[elidyce]

She laughed, when she placed the curse on me. Laughed and laughed. She called me a fool for coming to her, for wanting children who would sap my strength and steal my power. 

One child to take my kingdom, she promised me. Well, I’d wanted an heir. It didn’t have to be a curse. 

One child the sea would steal. There was room in that. They didn’t have to die, only to love the sea. I would buy the finest ships. 

And the third would suffer my grandmother’s fate. 

The tower. 

Grandmother told me stories about that tower, shuddering. About the isolation almost driving her mad. About the desperate longing for escape. I know what that escape cost her, and my grandfather as well, with his scarred face and limping gait. 

That was going to be difficult. 

The sorceress’s curse worked. Within the year, I held my first babe in my arms, a sturdy boy who kicked and cried and cuddled against his mother as if he hadn’t been made only to bring me grief. Well, all mothers grieve. 

Keep reading

First episode into Ride or Die with Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer and I am locked in. I mean, they had me already with the magnificent Hannah as an assassin, nut the chemistry with Octavia as her best friend is everything I could ever ask for.

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.

I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.
