Gish item YOU can help with.

Voting is important - can you pledge to vote in the upcoming midterm elections? Have you checked to make sure your registration is active and you haven’t been purged?

Here’s what I need you to do. Go to the site below and enter your state. That will give you a link to check your status. Have someone take your photo with your proof of registration (can be on your phone, computer or printed) and a sign that says I WILL VOTE!

Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.

The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.

He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.

And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.

He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.

Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.

So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.

Who gave you the RIGHT?

Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.

Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…

not-a-bit-good

okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?

Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years.

Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect.

Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse.

Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley.

Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends.

And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.

Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.

And who put him there in the first place?

my friend said that whenever she has a bad feeling about her body/appearance, she asks herself “who profits off of this emotion?” and i really love how simple and incisive that is

Nick is sweet kind compassionate best last glimmer of hope in this world

Can I just go on a tangent? It’ll just take a sec,

Can we just talk about how Nick and June kinda went full parent mode on Eden in 02x12. Ever since Eden came into the picture they’ve always been indifferent towards her, with Nick ignoring her and June being sort of condescending. But in this episode I feel like a switch was flipped. June took time to tell her some advice that I feel has gotten June through her entire time in Gilead. “Grab Love where you can find it,” was exactly what Eden needed to hear, even if it didn’t turn out alright. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the end of that interaction when Eden wishes June sweet dreams. It was so innocent and normal and the whole thing brought June to tears. Then switch over to Nick trying to convience Eden to save herself. Aside from him telling her they could make a baby (which I feel the writers could’ve left out) Nick was so protective and trying to get her to see that her life is on the line reguardless of God, love, or mistakes it was her life. He was trying to make it right, and he was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. To me that was so genuine and compassionate, and so was his apology. Nick does not want this fate for Eden regardless of how uncomfortable or wrong their relationship was. This was a 15 year old girl that he wanted to save and protect. In my opinion this is because they have literally just brought a daughter into this horrific world and it could be her one day. Holly is not safe. No one is. June is already a mom and has a child living in this society, but Nick is experiencing this all for the first time. I’m by no means trying to compare his emotional state to June’s, but I can’t help but think that he is thinking “I have a daughter and this is the world she lives in,” and all of it will lead up to some big blow up. What’s even more interesting is that it wasn’t just Nick and June that had this realization, but Serena as well.

I’ve read tons of posts about dress codes in US schools. Recently I even read an article about a girl who was sent home for having a top without sleeves. It’s so weird that our online magazines have started to cover it. And all of this seems like a dystopia to me.

Here’s a thing: Finnish schools do NOT have any dress codes. Like, at all. Nothing. As long as you have all legally demanded parts covered. Also, teachers might sent home a note if they notice a young child not wearing a hat or a jacket in winter (it’s FREEZING but hats are not cool yo).

I attended this elite high school (no, not EXPENSIVE, education is free in Finland, elite as in nerds and good teachers). All kids in there had the best grades of our entire country. It’s also a very old, traditional school that has produced many artists, politicians etc. for us (Finland is a small village but compared to that, those people are great). And what did I wear to this fancy school?

Leather skirts, so short everyone saw my garters. Skin thight red tops so open that you could see the color of my bra. Fishnet stay-up socks. Leather boots with stiletto heels. And I also sat on my desk most of the time, so all boys behind me could clearly see all the glory of my high-heeled legs. I admit, I was bit of a goth kid then.

Guess what? Everyone passed the classes. I did not cause all the boys in our year to fail. Actually, they got used to it so quick nobody even noticed my clothes. And nowadays I attend a respectable office job where I dress in a modest (altough personal) way. Because in Finland we let kids be kids. I had plenty of time to learn professional dress code after I’d had my fun.

TLDR; Dress codes for kids are weird and unnecessary and not having them will not make the world burn.

I really just do not understand the ultra-rich.

Like, the Flint water crisis, right? I just read an estimate that it would take $55 million to bring clean water back to Flint. That sounds like a lot of money until you consider that’s less than a tenth of a billion dollars. Jeff Bezos is worth $118 billion. For less than .05% of his net worth, Jeff Bezos could bring water back to an entire town. At the most money I have ever had in my bank account, .05% of it could buy me like a burger. And not even a particularly nice one.

And let’s say, yeah, the ultra-rich are soulless monsters devoid of empathy or altruism. For .05% of his net wealth, Jeff Bezos could completely turn his public image around. Instead of being the asshole who exploits his workers, suddenly he’s the unlikely hero who saved an entire town.

How do you have the power to become a hero at practically no personal cost and just

Not?

RIGHT HERE ON TWITTER WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT

We lost our black lab Jaz in November, and this odd ball little dog fell into our laps on Christmas Eve.

Her dad is a purebred blue heeler, and her mom is a husky chocolate lab mix, but looked like a lab, but her body was shaped more like a husky. Macy is funniest, oddest little dog I’ve ever met. She’s sweet, and adores us, but likes more space for us than Jaz did. She’s a little wild, but we are enjoying to get to know her. I think she’s going to stay on the smaller side, she was a runt and I think has more of the heeler body type.

Here’s a fun little gif of her taking me out at full speed.

If anyone has this breed mix, give me a shout!
