THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!! SPREAD THIS PLS!!!
no offense but your boyfriend doesn’t know what a shawarma is
it’s possible he’s just really funny
if you think this isn’t an appropriate response to hearing your partner’s shawarma fell apart then you don’t know how important a good shawarma can be
Did you know that leeches were once used to predict storms? Well, a tornado warning just dropped and my squad is climbing
@takemetoturch
My dad is a meteorologist and he has never once warned me about an incoming storm. My leeches, however......

*urgently* Lads, the leechometre is at 12 bong, I repeat, 12 bong!

Bonus :
the first thing i learned from this anime is that I LOVE NEZUKO😭😭💖
Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.
calling out @brightismarstonight because yes
“You’re supposed to fear your father/parents” this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that someone told them this in the tags. Christianity as an institution is one of the biggest shelters for abusers out there and this shit right here is how they do it.
*pretends to be shocked*
Who
The FUCK
CARES?!
they deliberately left out Danny Glover, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey and forgot to mention that Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum have Jewish heritage
In a story important to Jews and Christians, they hired Jews and Christians
Also completely left out Ofra Haza who played Moses’ mother and is legit 100% Israeli.
You guys are fucking exhausting.
The Prince of Egypt: *consults with countless scholars from all three Abrahamic religions to make sure they were telling the story correctly, hires notable black and Jewish talent for the voice cast, taps the guy who played Coalhouse Motherfluffing Walker in “Ragtime” (a show all about racial tensions in America) on Broadway to sing one of the film’s most beautiful songs, taps the same Israeli singer to reprise her role as Yochaved in almost every foreign dub of the film, and is generally much more respectful to its source than any live-action Biblical epic released in the past fifty years*
Tumblr: “But why are there white people???????”
Didn’t they also have Christian and Jewish experts watch the film and they all agreed it was the most accurate portrayal of Moses?
The fuck is this? This things got different colors??
One time this man approached me in a bar talking in Spanish. So I assumed he was Spanish and we started speaking, we had a whole ass conversation and at some point he was like. So what part of Spain are you from? And I said well I'm Italian actually. What part of Spain are you from? And he was like. I'm Greek.
One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because I'm not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said "oh no I'm Brazilian hahah" and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, "I'm Brazilian too"
big bamboozle

“So this is my dog Mako. We think he was raised with cats initially, because he just loves to be on counters and elevated surfaces. I’ve never heard him bark, and he’s overall just a really weird little dude.”
1) As a former sailor here’s my hot take on the stuck boat in the Suez. I’m actually in admiration of the skill of whoever did this. They managed a crash in one of the busiest water ways and all they damaged was a wall. No lives lost. No other boat involved, no damaged cargo. A+
2) Lemme tell you about pilots. Pilots are tug boats or crew who lead you through challenging passages. Usually harbours or narrow water ways. The Suez requires you to hand over control of your boat to a government endorsed pilot crew. Some pilots are great. Suez Pilots are not
3) they don’t protecc. They don’t atacc. Mainly they sleep and snacc. Yep. The Suez takes roughly 13 hours for a big ship to navigate. I have yet to hear of a diligent Seuz pilot who actually stayed at the helm even half that time. And pilots are not free. We pay extra for them
a small private boat pays $500-1000 US. The #EVERGIVEN this would be over $10,000 US for the pilot crew alone on top of the $100,000 to use the canal. And the pilot crew are mandatory. Considering how much shipping goes through the suez, how are their bad pilots still not known?
So #EVERGIVEN got stuck in a sand storm with 40kt gusts&no visiblity. This is totally enough to blow them off course&disorient them, they’d be working off radar and sonar. Factor in possible confusion of who was responsible for driving, the pilot of the officer of the watch?
The #EVERGIVEN officer’s concerns went like this -my crew -my ship -other ships -my cargo definitely not holding up global shipping traffic. And probably not that wall they hit with the part of the hill that’s reinforced. The fact that they ran aground without damaging cargo?
A+ #EVERGIVEN Officer & #Evergreen crew. I am truly amazed at your soft landing. I’m sorry no one is talking about the low quality Suez pilot crew who was supposed to be driving (I’m sorry to the good Suez pilots, I know you’re out there somewhere not napping & working hard)
Considering 10% of the world’s shipping traffic goes through the Suez, the fact that government endorsed mandatory suez pilots are negligent& harsss female crew in one of the world’s busiest canals should be known outside the boating world. Good luck #EVERGIVEN, you can do it!
IN ADDITION, because it seems to be really hard for people to grasp that steering a ship is nothing like steering a car, here is a really good FT article about some of the hydrodynamics involved and how this situation may have happened.
Text version:

I wish the crew of the Ever Given all the best, and all the (good) pilots, too.
I know this a frustrating and bad situation (though it could be worse), but part of me is loving the fact that, this time last year, the Wider Internet Culture[tm] was just starting to learn about sea shanties as “Old timey songs” – songs from “days of yore.”
And now, we’re learning afresh that life at sea is still a thing, and it’s still difficult and potentially dangerous work, and we still need the brave men and women who work at sea for our benefit.
May everyone make it home safe.
