[athousandordinarylemons]

[thedidipickles]

okay so Thayne Jasperson is briefly in High School Musical, most notably in this scene

and now appears in Hamilton playing Samuel Seabury, a famous Loyalist throughout the Revolution

in other words, someone who told the colonists to STICK TO THE STATUS QUO

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

[youcangofindatree-deactivated20]

Gotta try it

[clevermanka]

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

[emmagrant01]

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

[songbirde108]

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

[onethingconstant]

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

MY NEW ATTITUDE: Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

listen, i’m not entirely sure if lin-manuel miranda is real or if he’s a mass hallucination

[alanaisalive]

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Well that looks perfectly f…

its like america and britain are having a competition for who can fuck themselves up more politically 

[genuinelybelieve-blog-deactivat]

#britain is winning but then again the us has a trump card (x)

[apatheticasexual]

In my opinion, asexuality that is caused by trauma and/or mental illness(es) isn’t more or less valid. Even if you are able to work through whatever you’re struggling with and say “You know what, I don’t think ‘asexual’ fits me anymore” it doesn’t me you were a “fake asexual”. If you don’t have sexual feelings/desires then you’re asexual, if you manage to work past some of the struggles in your life and realize “Hey, this term might not fit me so well anymore” then that’s really great for you. And same for being aromantic. 

[the-smol-one]

This this this!

[theasexualityblog-deactivated20]

Exactly. Life is full of changes, and just because an aspect of who you are changes over time doesn’t mean that the original state was suddenly invalid.

This is why I’m all for teens IDing as ace if they want to; it’s possible to feel that the ace label fits you now and decide later on that it doesn’t anymore. Orientations are not always permanent. You’re allowed to change.

[renegade-lemon]

Is that the fucking 401

[officialqueer]

That is the fucking 401

[melancholytimes]

Of course it’s the fucking 401

[maddiebiscuits]

The god damn

motherfucking

401

You got somewhere to be?

Too bad you’re not getting there.

The 401 is where they weed out the weak. You don’t drive on the 401 to get somewhere. You do it for the challenge. You do it to test your abilities like some Uchiha clan shit. Rush hour 401 is the breaking point between heaven and earth. Are you going to descend into a Lovecraftian hell or reach Nirvana? You will double the size of your biceps death-gripping your steering wheel. There is no time for rest or pulling off over into an exit. Bodily functions shut down. Cars on the side of the road and crashes closing lanes are a constant reminder that you are driving the razor’s edge. Death is mere seconds away at any given moment. They’re always doing construction but nothing is ever finished. It’s a constant roadblock for the hell of it. This is the Dark Souls 2 of Canadian driving. git good or get out

And that’s just normal mode. Have fun in the six-month long Ontario winter and enter some top-tier level of highway driving.

EVO2015. EVO2018.

[boss-hoody]

I heard that babies are born on the 401, grow up on the 401, and take over for their parents as driver of the family car on the 401

[negipecia]

This is why driving scafes me

Reconstructed face of a Viking girl. This girl died about 11000 years ago and was buried at Birka, Sweden. Her skeleton was unusually well preserved for a child and her teeth shows she was around 6 years old. The gifts put into her grave indicate she really was a girl. There was a gold and bronze clasp, a pearl necklace, a knife and a container in bone for sewing needles to take with her into the grave—expensive gifts which show her family was wealthy. (Source)
