Well, I have a new favourite poet.

[nineprotons]

“Got the morbs” should be a thing.

[breelandwalker]

Victorian slang is AMAZING, and select phrases really need to make a comeback.

“Bitch the pot” - Pour the tea (HOW RELEVANT IS THIS!?)

“Bang up the elephant” - Absolutely perfect; super stylish

“Well, that’s shot the bale” - Something that has missed the mark entirely

“Church-bell” - A woman prone to gossip

“Chuckaboo” - A dear friend, a bosom chum

“Beer and skittles” - A great time (see also: Irish Gaelic “craic”)

“Butter on bacon” - Something overdone or too extravagant

“Cupid’s kettle drums” - Breasts, particularly large ones

“Gigglemug” - A cheerful smiling face

All of these??? Make me smile??? They’re so weird and wonderful I love them??? Especially bitch the pot because that’s something I could totally hear myself saying…that and chuckaboo

I worked in a Victorian tea house in my youth and I’m telling you, you haven’t lived till you hear a the 98 year old lady (this was some 15 years ago) utter the words “bitch the pot” because it was what they used to say when the tea house first opened and it just sort of stuck through all the generations.

American recipes are like

2 tablespoons of spice you have never heard of

1 can of a food that does not come in a can in your country, wtf America why is everything in cans??

1 stalk pf something that has a totally different name where you are from and you have to google what it is

2 ounces of this liquid … what the fuck is an ounce??

Preheat oven to some temperature that sounds like it is as hot as the sun

Turn on a broiler. Find out what a broiler is. 

2 pounds, dammit where is my calculator, of this product that seems to be plentiful in America but non existence in your country. Google how to get it on some shady black market.

Give up and wonder what the hell America even is.

[sailorkitkat]

What is this sorcery?!?!

[floretsilva]

this is my favorite post on tumblr

the ending is: 12=x1=

[ollieofthebeholder]

So I just worked out the whole song, and here you go:

- 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + = + 1 = + 1

- 7 2 + 7 = x + 2 + = 2 + 2 1 = x + 2 +

- 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + - 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 +

- 7 2 + 7 = x + 2 +

- 7 2 + 7 = x + 2 + = 7 7 2 + = x + 2 + = x - 7 - 2

- 2 - 2 x = = x + 2 + = x + 2 1 = x + 2 + 1 2 = x 1 =

Mom: Are you writing an essay?

Me: Hm? Wha-oh yeah. An essay. Definitely. 

[icyxmischief]

Okay but can we talk about how much import HUMOR has to Loki as a character?

Humor is how he used to derive any semblance of attention from his family independent of being Thor’s shadow. Loki “made Thor laugh as none other could” (comics direct quote) and was raised using humor to receive approval. 

Humor is how Loki handles extreme and usually disturbing emotions, but also situations of great emotional merit that make his natural shyness squirm (“Never doubt that I love you.”  ”Thank you.” “Now give us a kiss!” )

Humor is how Loki laughs off defeat or humiliation (“If it’s all the same to you, I’ll have that drink now.”) 

Humor is now the subversive social device that Loki uses to draw attention both to his own newfound voice/agency and to the hypocrisy and injustice that he suffers in Asgard.  Without magic, sardonic words are his only repartee.  (See at least half of his Dark World lines). 

So when people say Loki was out of character to be so “light” and “witty” and “funny” in Thor 2, I direct them to this fact. Jest is intrinsic to Loki’s personality and psychological coping mechanisms.  Just because he smiles and laughs all the time doesn’t mean he’s not hemorrhaging inside. He just will never relent the power of letting you SEE that.

The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd—The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.

The Palestinian Museum is launching a new project in honour of Pope Francis’s trip to Palestine next Sunday. Banners combining recent media photographs of the Palestinian landscape and its people with Western baroque paintings of biblical scenes will decorate Manger Square in Bethlehem, highlighting the tension between the popular image of the Holy Land and Palestine’s ongoing history of suffering under occupation and oppression.

Stephen Mackey’s soft, dreamy, charming paintings are reminiscent of 18th-, 19th-century, and earlier portraits. Animal-headed ladies and bow-lipped children pose enigmatically in idyllic, sumptuous settings, all enmeshed in an atmosphere of mystery, whimsy, and subtle eeriness. With an avid historical awareness and deft skill, Mackey creates little worlds within the edges of these paintings.
