Greenland by Nick Bondarev
listened to Bohemian Rhapsody today… i’m so very sorry
If this post gets 100 notes I’ll recreate the entire song through memes
OK so I’ll do my best to get this done soonish–it may be a week or two, but I’m doing it
My masterpiece… is complete.
op did not put in this much work for 160 notes
@musicalsandtrees
I don’t know who to tag… This is a fuckign masterpiece
so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.
someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo
PLS i swear i saw this in another version of this post but i can’t find it now 😭
if anyone knows who wrote this scenario tag them so they can have credit asldfjslkf
bad news, professor, the sixty dollar book of short stories and poems that you “edited” for our english 101 class is out of stock from the school bookstore, the included texts are all available online, and I have constructed a google doc to share with the class.
Kids, if you are in an English 101 class and you have a textbook that costs more than twenty bucks you should check your syllabus and see if the assigned readings are available online.
English 101 professors fucking love stories that were originally published in the New Yorker or poems that are 100 years old.
Are you taking an English 101 class during the fall semester? I give it an 80% probability of including an Edgar Allan Poe short story and you DO NOT PAY for Edgar Allan Poe short stories you go to Gutenberg.org and you read for free. (my class is doing the cask of amontillado and i look forward to memeing with you in october.)
Anyway if you’re in an English or Composition class and your professor has assigned the third edition of the Little Seagull handbook this site definitely does not include the entire text at the bottom of the page and you definitely should not save it from there. (i would not recommend trying to download the PDF, tho. Just copy the text.)
Also please, please, please check your college/university’s library! They have the budget you don’t, and mostly do their very best to buy all required textbooks, often including coursepacks. Often you can check out the books for a limited period of time (say a couple hours or a few days) if it’s a required text, OR they may have them electronically for you to download/access. (or both!)
VERY MUCH THIS.
If your campus library is currently open and allowing people to check out books, there is a VERY good chance that your required textbook will be available for on-campus loans of a few hours.
What you do is this:
Wait until you have your syllabus
Go to the library and check out the required text and use a private study room
Use the high resolution camera in your pocket (because almost all of us are carrying one these days) to take pictures of every page of the assigned readings.
Organize the photos into files titled with the name of the class and the due date for each reading
Say “fuck you” to the $300, 1200 page Literary Theory book that you just photographed 87 pages of and live your best academic life carefree.
Also, my dear young friends who are starting college for the first time, I would like to introduce you to the Perdue University Online Writing Lab and its Citation Style Guide.
This is a free online resource that will tell you what the most up-to-date citation style is for MLA, APA, AMA, Chicago Style, and more.
Don’t fail your bibliographies, friends.
I was a lit major and even just getting the paperbacks for a bunch of my classes was sometimes prohibitively expensive so I used to:
A) Read a LOT of Dickens on Gutenberg on the tiny screen of my sidekick
and
B) Copy full texts off of gutenberg and print them eight pages to a sheet (four on each side) on printer paper and staple them together.
Here’s a fun thing! You can also get a book on kindle, disconnect your kindle from the internet, read the book, and return the book for a full refund. This works best if it’s something you can read in a short time and you don’t need the device for anything else while you’re reading that book.
Also Archive.Org has a library. You can search your textbooks and you can borrow them, usually for an hour at a time but you can request a loan for fourteen days.
Sometimes they’ve only got older editions of textbooks but in a lot of classes that’s not going to matter.
So check out your textbooks and screencap relentlessly.
And if you are, like, morally opposed to piracy or something please keep in mind that photocopying/photographing/screenshotting pages of books in a library is perfectly legal.
Copying the assigned sections of a library book isn’t piracy that is literally what libraries are there for, to give people access to books.
tumblr radicals are so fucking detrimental to actual feminism honestly
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE
….don’t hate me for reblogging this…
There is no lie here.
And if anyone hates you for reblogging this, it just means it’s right.
I have no issue with dropping people who can’t grasp this
Feminism is really good but super radical tumblr feminism is gross, counterproductive, and hateful
Ya gotta love everyone guys, just love everyone equally and you’re doing it right
I hit the reblog button pretty fast.
feminism: yeah!
super radical feminism: unyeah
Feminism: Women deserve to be on the same level as men because we are all human beings and should be treated as such
Radical Feminism: All men should die, cis people are bad, white people are evil, and women are better than men.
Me: So real feminism? Amazing. Radical feminism? FUCK NO
Crows are scary They
use tools
Can be taught to speak (like parrots)
Have huge brains for birds
like seriously their brain-to-body size ratio is equal to that of a chimpanzee
They vocalize anger, sadness, or happiness in response to things
they are scary smart at solving puzzles
some crows stay with their mates until one of them dies
they can remember faces
SIDENOTE HERE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT. They did an experiment where these guys wore masks and some of them fucked with crows. Pretty soon the crows recognized the masks = douchebag. But the nice guys with masks they left alone. THEN, OH WE’RE NOT DONE, NO SIR crows that WEREN’T EVEN IN THE EXPERIMENT AND NEVER SAW THE MASK BEFORE knew about mask-dudes and attacked them on sight. THEY PASSED ON THE FUCKING INFORMATION TO THEIR CROW BUDDIES.
They remember places where crows were killed by farmers and change their migration patterns.
Guys I’m really scared of crows now. (q)
Yeah but have you seen this
A colleague of my dad’s lives next to a lake, and looked out the window one morning to see a duck trapped in the ice. A crow swooped down. “Oh hell,” she thought, expecting carnage, because crows are opportunists. But the crow chipped at the ice with its beak until the duck was free.
Idk of this counts but a few crows saved me from a magpie swooping attack once ,they’re bros who can tell when magpies are being unreasonable and need to chill
I love crows so damn much. When I was fifteen, I hit a pretty serious bout of depression, to the point I was in my room for months. Well, a family of crows made a nest in a tree outside my window. There were two parents and two chicks. One chick was healthy and strong. One was weak, and had a caw like something being strained. It sounded more like a rooster crowing and so my parents jokingly named him ‘Buck’.Well… months passed and Buck’s sibling was taught to fly. His parents focused on the sibling because the sibling was strong. The father stayed behind to try and teach Buck, but I saw him try to fly, fail, and crash to the floor. His father helped him back up into the tree.
Every day, I would watch Buck from my window until one day I opened it and started talking to him. He was small and gangly and he couldn’t caw right. His feathers were all over the place and I felt a kinship. So I made a deal with him. I told him that if he could do it, if he could fly, then I could find the strength to get up. Well… near the end of the season, after talking with him every day, I finally saw him get out of the nest. He went to the edge of his branch, braced himself, and jumped… and just before he hit the ground, he soared back up into the sky. I cheered harder than I ever had before.
That winter, Buck left the area. I was crestfallen. I felt like I’d lost a friend. But I was so damn proud of him.
Cut to the next spring? I’m walking up the driveway one day when suddenly I hear a sound… a broken caw. I look up, and Buck is sitting in a tree above my head. He stared at me and puffed his feathers, then hopped down in front of me and cawed again. I was so damn thrilled, and I told him how proud I was of him. He ruffled his feathers and then soared off into his old tree.
That summer? I heard two broken caws. One from Buck… and one from his chick.
Cut to ten years later? We have a family of crows who all have a very distinct caw and they come here and spend every spring, summer, and fall on our property. Buck still greets me every spring.
that last reply made me wanna cry. that’s so beautiful.
Don’t forget the Russian Crow SLEDDING DOWN A ROOF not once, but twice.
this one morning i kept hearing really loud caws, i remember it was like 5am, LIKE REALLY LOUD AND ANNOYING AND AGGRESSIVE, so loud that i could hear it through a closed window, and i eventually went outside to check it out. there was a crow on my front lawn, it had an injury on its head and couldn’t fly and there were two other crows circling right above it, and they were cawing like mad.
i tried to get close and take a better look and one of them dived super low and tried to attack me. so i went back in the house and chopped some sliced raw meat and tossed it at him from a distance.
a few more times later, very soon after, they could tell i was trying to help, and did not attack me. i was “allowed” to walk up close and pick him up, he couldn’t drink water properly so i had to dip my finger in a bowl and stick it in his mouth.
i did this few times a day and it went on for about a week before he disappeared, i thought he recovered and left, but he came back the next day and lands on me, and i see him around the block quite often, and he would come sit on my shoulder for a few minutes and then fly away again. i feel like i’ve adopted a son.
Best birbs !!
your son is Beautiful and Strong
every time I see this post it has different crow stories and every time I reblog it again because all crow stories are good stories
Like, I wouldn’t want to be on bad terms with a crow, but they are a really smart animal, they aren’t scary You just want to be nice to them because they will know and they will remember, and they will pay you back if you treat them a certain way.
As a side note, I volunteered at a rehab (Hope for Wildlife), where they were rehabbing a crow with a broken wing–who was named Russell Crow. He kept pulling his bandage off so a sleeve was cut off some old clothing and put on him like a little sweater.
!!!!
I don’t think I’ll ever not reblog this. This posts makes me cry and smile at the same time.
He’s so handsome!!
This is so wholesome!
they are the most smartest birds alive actually
Absolutely heartbroken.
My deepest sympathies to her family, friends & costars.
You will be missed greatly.
Rest in peace Helen McCrory.
books?? amazing. paperbacks?? soft, cozy, may fit in your pocket, cheap so you don’t feel bad for taking notes in them. hardcovers??? beautiful, pristine, ground you into the world they hold by making you grip them tighter, the stars of every bookshelf. ebooks?? convenient, cheap, always with you, a vast library that you can hold in your palm. new books?? crisp, the smell of wood, ideas waiting to imprint themselves upon the world. old books?? objects transcending history, sweet smelling, enriched by the hands that stroked their pages. books.
