open a new window somewhere in the world.
so this loads a short video of the view outside a random person’s window somewhere in the world, and somewhere between Taiwan and Italy, I burst into tears. THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF IT ALL…….OH TO BE HUMAN!!!!!
king arthur was supposed to rise when the worlds need was greatest so. wakey wakey! someone knock on his tomb or something
i hate fae rules
the lorde of the rings: case solved
I also wanted to take a moment to appreciate Raoul’s list of The Four Kinds of Warriors:
Heroes, like Alanna, who fight alone in dark places
Everyday knights, who deal with simple problems, alone or in small groups
Soldiers, who are good at following orders but need to be told what to do
Commanders. People who see other people’s strengths and weaknesses, abilities and flaws, who understand the tools at their disposal, who have the skill to nudge this person or pull that one. Leaders, who bring out the best in those who help them, who make them far greater than the sum of their parts.
Kel has leadership potential. We’ve all seen it – how she started the hazing patrols, how she took charge when the bandits attacked, how she helped Owen’s cousins, and plenty more. Raoul says his job is to “see if she’ll do more than flash”, but really, I think his job is to teach her to do it on purpose.

As the world fell…each of us in our own way was broken.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD 2015 | dir. George Miller
after disney refused to let greg rucka have gay warrior husbands in star wars in the form of chirrut and baze, he turned to netflix and gave us gay immortal warrior husbands in the old guard in the form of joe and nicky and i think that’s Very Sexy Of Him
I love that the “trick” behind the clown car routine is literally just “remove all of the car’s safety features to make room for more clowns, and drive very, very carefully”, because that is more quintessentially clown than any trick or illusion that could possibly have been used to achieve the same effect.
okay but neville longbottom as head of gryffindor house and there’s all these stories of him going head to head with an army of werewolves, being tortured by death eaters and killing Voldemort’s snake with godric gryffindor’s actual sword but when the students see him he’s like cradling a pot plant and crying cause he saw someone lost their pet on the noticeboard and they’re like “that guy? are you sure it’s that guy”
BONUS: one of the older student’s get dared to go up and ask him if it’s true and neville just makes direct eye-contact and says “voldemort was a punk bitch” and continues knitting a lil baby sweater for a mandrake

“I don’t just want my death to be politicized, I want it to be weaponized” is on a whole other level.
what drugs were they on when they made this
Cab Calloway rotascoped!
Whoever thought of this was drinking absinthe
Thanks, Now I have nightmares
this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40 betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die
most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic
idk why this is making me so emotional???
I love this. I’ve always had a love for cartoons
Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.
sorry to make this long post longer, but I feel like it needed some actual photos of Cab Calloway, who is, in fact, the greatest
I don’t know why people are saying they will get nightmares because this is so cool
s/o to darkskin black girls just because 💕
in case no one has told you you’re beautiful or worthy lately or that you don’t have to act any kind of certain way to be loved, I’m telling you guys today! y'all perfect just the way you are.
Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is
The rest of the world: So… you’re a big country?
The states, standing on each other’s shoulders: Y- yes,,,
I love how everyone who’s reblogged this hasn’t added anything on or tagged anything on it. They’re all just like “Yeah. That’s it. That’s the entire United States summed up in one post-”
#oh my god is THAT why you guys are so weird
Yeah 100%
Don’t let these tags die omfg
10/10 can confirm
absolutely bonkers that my own tags have crossed my dash like this more than fifteen reblogs after i wrote them
I moved to another state. 30 minutes away. My family acts like I betrayed them and can’t understand my life choices. It’s completely different way of life, especially during covid. Completely different country.
every single fucking time one of those articles of “things europeans find weird about america” complains that sales tax isn’t included
states set the sales tax!!! it’s literally different across state lines!!! american retailers can’t add it bc they’d have to account for 50 different prices!!!!!!!
It gets even more insane! California’s clean air standards for cars and other such things are so much higher than everyone else’s! So if a car manufacturer in Detroit wants to sell their damn cars in California, they need to build their cars to California clean air standards. But retooling an assembly line and car design to have some cars meet California clean air standards, while building others to other clean air standards is a lot of work, so car manufacturers all over the country have to build all their cars to California clean air standards.
Which is why California went into an uproar earlier this year when the Federal Government tried to argue that states can’t set their own environmental guidelines! “Fuck you!” says California, “we remember Los Angeles in the 80s, how bad the smog gets, go pollute your own damn air over in your own damn state where there isn’t a thermal inversion layer to trap all the smog down near ground level!”
“But you’re making it soooo haaaaaard to sell our cars everywhere else!” they whine.
“Fuck you!” California shouts. “And while we’re at it, we don’t give a shit what you say, Mister President, we’re gonna open our damn states when we’re good and ready, and our friends Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, and Washington State agree! Also, we’ve decided to legalize weed!”
“But the Federal Government says it’s illegal!” shouts the other states.
“Fuck you, we make the drug laws in our state, and we say toke up!”
“Now, hang on!” shouts the Federal government. “You can legalize weed in your state, but all banks are federal agencies, so if your weed dispensaries set up bank accounts, those accounts have money from illegal practices in it and are subject to seizure by the federal government!”
“FINE!” shouts California. “Hey, weed guys, you can keep selling weed, but you can only deal in cash!”
“How the fuck is that supposed to work!?”
“I DON’T FUCKING KNOW, TAKE IT UP WITH DC!”
“By the way, if you’re gay married elsewhere, we won’t recognize it,” mutters Texas.
“OH FUCK YOUUUUUUU!”
And so it goes and so it goes…
“What’s sales tax?” says Montana. “What’s road maintainence?” “also what’s a speed limit?”
*gestures at Florida* Oh also, the reason Florida is “so weird” is only PARTIALLY because people who live here are bonkers – it’s also because Florida state laws around privacy do not include the details of arrests! So in other states, when you’re arrested, it can just show up in the registrar like “25 yo man arrested 04/30/20” but in Florida they can (and do) print the details of why they were arrested: “25 yo man arrested 4/30/20 for riding an alligator through town while naked and smoking weed.” I promises you the other states have PLENTY of weirdos, they just don’t get their dirty laundry gleefully aired in the local news.
Arizona:
The sales tax thing gets even worse – in some states, different cities have different sales tax rates. In some cities, different parts of the city have different sales tax rates. And some cities even have different tax rates for different kinds of good!
Retailers could “just” include the sales tax in their overhead cost but then that requires different labeling and the labeling requirements also vary based on city and state!
Income taxes are even more complex.
Some states are also big enough to be completely different in culture and even accent depending on where you are. Central Pennsylvania is different from Eastern Pa is different from western PA.
^^ 100% fact. I dare you to find a native Californian who won’t, at some point when talking about our state, find a way to clarify whether we’re from SoCal or NorCal. Because one is not the other and fuck you if you pretend we’re the same even though we are, and this rage over people’s confusion is totally disconcerting and makes absolutely zero sense.
(Both of us do our best, however, not to acknowledge that Central CA is A Thing.)
*you’re all mental*
this is all hilarious and absolutely true
You can tell if a Texan is from Dallas or Houston by bringing up the other city and waiting for them to say “Fuck Dallas/Houston.” Also Fuck Dallas.
The different Texas countries are: North Texas, Southeast Texas, West Texas, Deep East Texas (i.e. basically Louisiana), the Valley, and Austin.
All right if the California bits … completely utterly totally thoroughly true.
“Can you believe that California is the size of the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Czech Republic combined.” California’s geographic size ranks it 59th if it were a nation, the analysis found.”
This is why we have to split Nor Cal and So Cal. But yeah, we’re a bunch of countries pretending to be United.
I was watching this father [proud and supportive of his trans child], and it just hurt, because I had to be okay with my mom saying „I will never call you Jen, because Jen murdered my son”. I had to be okay with that in order to survive myself. In order to deal with not being able to see my grandma before she died, because I could only come home if I dressed as a boy. I had to deal with the fact that one of my best friends, who, like, I stood up at his wedding, won’t let me meet his children. I have to deal with those things. Like, I have to live with those things. I have to make that okay. I have to understand their position and be okay with it. And when I saw that father go so much further than I thought it was even possible, it hurt, I couldn’t bear it, because then, all of a sudden, all those people who couldn’t accept me, when I knew it was possible to go beyond acceptance? Why couldn’t my mom have been like him? That’s the question I never asked until that moment. Why couldn’t my mom have been like him? Why couldn’t my friends have been like him and seend the value in my experience? But the person who’s most responsible for failing to have that kind of vision is me. – Jen Richards in Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen (2020)
