Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.

Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease

[erinbowbooks]

Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero.   She:

 was admitted to Julliard at 8.  

was performing in top venues by 16.  

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.  

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.  

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.”  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.  

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.  

She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten.  But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.

some tips to save energy (and money) every month!!!!

• open all of the blinds and curtains, and let in as much natural sunlight as possible so you don’t have to turn on all the lights

• don’t brush your teeth or wash your face in the shower, and don’t leave the sink running while you do

• open your windows after the sun goes down, it gets cooler at night and you can turn your AC down to save money

• if you shave in the shower, don’t leave the water running while you do it. only turn it on to rinse!!!

• unplug things when you’re not using them (even if they’re not ON, they still use energy if they’re plugged in)

• try using an outdoor grill if you have one when cooking!!! the stove and microwave use a lot more power than you think

• air dry your hair instead of blow drying it!!! not only is it better for your hair, it also saves you money on your electricity bill

• showers, not baths (this is the simplest one)

• try to run your washing machine or dish washer only when they are full, this can annually save up to 1,000 gallons of water

I just love the wikia page for Arthur because it’s like “Arthur Pendragon” and then it has “Also known as” which is followed by this HUGE list of insults Merlin has called Arthur over the years:
