I saw people do this & adopted it myself, and it’s actually been super helpful—set a daily reminder to do your arab.org click of the day. It has been said ad nauseam at this point, but if each person in the thousands of people who engage on palestine posts clicked on this, we’d be raising thousands in revenue towards humanitarian aid. Don’t think your one little click is unnecessary. It adds up fast—but only if you actually do it.

A lot of people asked how they can help if they don’t have funds to spare. This is the most passive way to raise donations towards Palestinian aid.

Didn’t anticipate one of the bonuses of going to a drag show in a smaller more conservative town would be getting to see a bro who clearly wandered into the wrong part of the bar by mistake experience what looked to be a transcendent awakening upon seeing his first drag show.

Here's a quick au idea that just came to me today:

In a modern au where Merlin is still waiting on Arthur, historians recently discovered a whole batch of legal documents from Arthur's reign. These documents detail many changes he made to the laws of Camelot, including the repeal of the magic ban (which the historians assumed was just a halt on witch hunts).

However, one thing that the historians note as strange were the large number of laws that only applied to the king's personal manservant, who was never mentioned by name in the documents. These laws range from oddly specific, such as 'the king's manservant shall not accompany knights to the tavern', to downright bizarre decrees that make no sense, like 'the king's manservant is hereby forbidden from pointing out stew in the king's hair.'

The historians' first guess was that perhaps King Arthur was going a bit mad in his later years, but they didn't find any other ludicrous laws besides the ones pertaining to his manservant, which then led the historians to question the identity of this manservant and his relationship to the king.

All of this culminates in a historical exhibit showcasing the documents and postulating on this mysterious manservant of king Arthur. Many scholars flock to the exhibit, eager to examine the documents and debate their meaning and impact within a historical context.

Which then leads to a very tired Dr. Merlin Emrys, a medieval history professor, being dragged by his colleagues to see the exhibit and having to stifle is laughter as these world-renowned scholars tear their hair out trying to understand what was essentially a prank war between him and Arthur.

Its good that i have a blog now cuz I used to write all this bullshit down physically in a diary and my mom found mine and read it when i was 15 and i got in so much trouble cuz i drew goku with a boner so foreboding frightening it cleaved his jorts clean in half down the crotch seam and she threw it in a dumpster but then i crawled inside and retrieved it in the dark of night to preserve the archives of my mind but I lost it the very next day cuz i dropped it into the wave pool at Wild Wild n Wet (waterpark). Nowadays relying on digital spaces we have no guarantee of our eras information being preserved for futture generations tho and as the lights go out The silence will be suffocating and we will all be boner goku at the bottom of the wave pool at Wild Wild and Wet lowkey so u might as well start an nsfw twitter with ur government name and credit card info in bio tbh

The christian family in these memes (which are absolutely all over facebook these days) genuinely do always look miserable. Who the fuck is relating to these stock mormon farm cultists. That is a couple who made love only once in pitch darkness with bags on their heads then celebrated the pregnancy with a feast of uncooked potatoes and warm tapwater. The baby seems intrigued though. Maybe only by the bottle of pills??

Jon: I have a question.

Damian: I am already regretting this.

Jon: How did Tim and Kon start dating?

Damian: Why are you asking me?

Jon: Because every time I ask them, they give me a different answer.

Damian: That is because Drake finds misinformation amusing.

Jon: Yesterday Tim said they met because Kon "fell out of the sky and into his life."

Damian: Technically accurate.

Jon: Then Kon said they bonded through "mutual emotional instability."

Damian: Also technically accurate.

Jon: Then Steph said they were "professionally obsessed with each other."

Damian: Again, technically accurate.

Jon: None of these answers help.

Damian: Welcome to the family.

(Across the room...)

Kon: Babe.

Tim: Yeah?

Kon: Jon's trying to figure out how we got together.

Tim: Oh.

Kon: Should we tell him?

Tim: Absolutely not.

Jon: WHY?!

Tim: It's funnier this way.

Damian: Drake.

Tim: Fine.

Jon: Finally.

Tim: It all started—

Kon: When I stole his coffee.

Tim: No.

Kon: Right. Wrong story.

Jon: WRONG STORY?

Steph: There are like... six versions.

Cass: Seven.

Steph: Seven?

Cass: Jason made one up.

Jason, from the kitchen: IT WAS BETTER THAN THE REAL ONE.

Tim: It really wasn't.

Jason: Agree to disagree!

Jon: Can someone just tell me what actually happened?

Kon: We became friends.

Jon: Then?

Tim: We kept almost dying.

Jon: That's... concerning.

Steph: Pretty standard for them.

Kon: Then we got really emotionally attached.

Jon: Okay...

Tim: But neither of us noticed.

Steph: They were the last people to notice.

Cass: Last.

Damian: Grayson noticed first.

Dick: I DID.

Tim: You imagined it.

Dick: Timmy, you looked at Kon like he hung the moon.

Tim: That's ridiculous.

Kon: *smiles*

Tim: ...

Steph: He's doing the face.

Jon: What face?

Steph: The one.

Cass: Soft.

Damian: Revoltingly so.

Tim: I am making a normal face.

Jason: You absolutely are not.

Kon: Keep talking about me.

Tim: No.

Kon: Please?

Tim: ...Maybe.

Steph: THERE IT IS.

Jon: Wait, he actually gets like that?

Damian: Drake becomes significantly less irritating in Kon's presence.

Tim: Thanks?

Damian: It was not intended as praise.

Kon: I think it's cute.

Damian: Of course you do.

Jon: So who confessed?

(Silence.)

Jon: Guys?

(More silence.)

Jon: ...Guys?

Steph: This is my favorite part.

Jason: Oh, this is hilarious.

Dick: I have the screenshots.

Tim: Delete them.

Dick: Never.

Kon: In our defense—

Tim: There isn't one.

Jon: WHAT HAPPENED?

Dick: They accidentally confessed.

Jon: How do you ACCIDENTALLY confess?

Steph: Oh, just watch.

Dick: Kon texted Tim—

Kon: I meant to text Bart.

Tim: Important distinction.

Kon: I sent Tim a message that said, "I think I'm in love with Tim."

Jon: ...

Jon: YOU SENT THAT TO TIM?

Kon: Yes.

Jon: ON ACCIDENT?

Kon: Yes.

Jon: WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Kon: I threw my phone across the room.

Bart, appearing out of nowhere: He screamed for like five minutes.

Kon: Thank you, Bart.

Bart: You're welcome!

Jon: Tim?

Tim: I stared at my phone.

Steph: For twenty-three minutes.

Tim: Twenty-one.

Steph: Twenty-three.

Tim: Whatever.

Dick: Then he texted me.

Jon: What did he say?

Dick: "Hypothetically speaking..."

Everyone: OH MY GOD.

Tim: I PANICKED.

Steph: He opened with "Hypothetically speaking, if someone accidentally confessed their love for you..."

Jason: "...what's the etiquette?"

Bart: I still laugh about that.

Jon: WHAT DID YOU REPLY?

Dick: I said, "Do you love him back?"

Jon: Logical.

Dick: Tim disappeared for another fifteen minutes.

Tim: I was thinking.

Steph: You were blue-screening.

Tim: Also true.

Kon: Meanwhile, I was digging my own grave.

Bart: Literally.

Jon: Literally?

Bart: We had shovels.

Kon: It felt appropriate.

Jon: This family is exhausting.

Damian: Correct.

Jon: So then what happened?

Tim: I went to the Kent's farm.

Kon: I assumed he was there to reject me.

Tim: Which is insane.

Kon: In hindsight, yes.

Tim: I knocked.

Kon: I opened the door.

Tim: Then I forgot every word I'd ever learned.

Steph: Canonically true.

Tim: I had a speech.

Jason: He absolutely did.

Tim: It was gone.

Kon: So we just stared at each other.

Jon: For how long?

Bart: Long enough that I left to get snacks.

Jon: ...

Bart: I came back.

Jon: ...

Bart: They were still staring.

Tim: It wasn't that long.

Bart: I microwaved popcorn.

Steph: Twice.

Tim: Details.

Kon: Then Tim finally said—

Tim: "Hi."

Jon: THAT WAS THE SPEECH?

Tim: NO.

Kon: Then I said "Hi."

Jon: ...

Jon: THAT'S IT?

Kon: Then we stared again.

Damian: I have never witnessed two supposedly intelligent individuals fail so catastrophically at communication.

Cass: Cute though.

Damian: In an embarrassing sort of way.

Tim: Eventually I said—

Kon: "I think I'm in love with you too."

Jon: FINALLY.

Steph: Then Kon started crying.

Kon: A little.

Jason: Like a lot.

Kon: A reasonable amount!

Tim: Then I started crying.

Jon: YOU?!

Tim: It had been a stressful day.

Steph: They both cried.

Cass: Hugged.

Dick: Bart cried because they were crying.

Bart: It was emotional!

Jon: That's it?

Steph: That's it.

Jon: You made it sound like this huge dramatic story.

Dick: It was.

Jon: No, it wasn't.

Bart: You had to be there.

Kon: Best day ever.

Tim: Yeah.

Kon: Love you.

Tim: Love you too.

(The room goes quiet.)

Damian: I take back everything I have ever said.

Jon: Really?

Damian: No.

Damian: That was still disgusting.

you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?

[anisetheapothecary]

Many people in the comments are saying “trauma”, but this is actually a very normal occurrence. It’s called Childhood Amnesia, and it’s a process which, as the brain reorganizes itself for cognitive thought that is developed in late childhood, it changes the Accessibility of those memories during recall. Many childhood memories are available to the person, but they will not be remembered during regular recall activity, you have to “trick” your brain into remembering with different tactics.

This is because there are two parts to memories - their encoding and their recall. The encoding determines their availability, their recall determines their accessibility. The reason why trauma memory and childhood amnesia are different is in this distinction. Trauma memory is often encoded differently, bypassing to the limbic system where it is stored as intrinsic memory. It can’t be recalled because it was never encoded. Childhood amnesia, however, seems to indicate that the memories are encoded, but we lose access to them as we age. This is most likely due to the development of brain structures that fundamentally change our encoding and recall of memory as we get older.

This is an important distinction, because trauma memory is “stored in the body”, i.e. you get triggers that send your body into a cascade of uncontrollable feelings, sensations and reactions. Whereas childhood memories won’t generally do that, they are just recalled at odd times with odd associations.

[malcolmcooks]

reblogging this because I’ve legit seen people freaking out when they realised they can’t remember some of their childhood, thinking they might have some repressed trauma.

New 'Bootcamp' boyband.

According to sources a new boyband has been formed at Bootcamp with 5 solo contestants thought to be more promising as a group.

The boyband made up of auditionees: Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik

(Liam being one of this years re-auditonee’s) The boyband are yet unamed.

Previous groups formed at Bootcamp have usually been doomed from the start and although usually making it through to the live shows don’t go much further. Futureproof, Hope and Miss Frank to name the most well known,
