if you didn’t believe that England hates Donald Trump already: the most recent news of his visit today is that the mayor of London approved protestors releasing a £16,000 Trump in-a-diaper balloon to fly 98ft above ground when he visits, and literally no British person is surprised. Welcome to London.

[isolate]

I’m literally not kidding

[isolate]

the people who are managing the balloon are called trump babysitters. I’ve never loved my country more.

I’ve been following this story since last week and it played out BEAUTIFULLY WELL DONE ENGLAND I SO PROUD

couple things

my town’s fireworks were cancelled because they had hired a new company to supply the display this year, and the company ended up not having a properly certified driver to deliver the fireworks from maryland to beachwood, NJ. 

everyone found this out at 2pm on july 4th.

the display was not delivered earlier because apparently there was no place to store them.

my town has been doing this for like 70 years so like. good work everyone involved.

when calls were made to the company, callers were met with an automated message informing them that the company was closed for the holiday.

amazing

mayor was Pissed beyond Pissed. this is a huge thing that my town’s been doing for decades that people invest a lot of money in. everyone’s bummed.

however

around 8:30 last night, everyone and their mother started shooting off illegal fireworks, implying that people heard about this, and immediately drove to delaware or pennsylvania, and stocked up on all the good shit that’s illegal in NJ.

not a single siren/police boat to be seen

from my aunt’s dock, i had a great view of one house on the water in particular shooting off more fireworks than everyone else, blasting music, tons of smoke and noise.

it was the mayor’s house

Saudi Arabia gave women permission to drive and this is the first thing they do 😭

[snellyboi]

This shit’s harder than ANY post malone track

[goldensweetcheeks-deactivated20]

Somebody on twitter called her SaudiB

[vanitysgrace-deactivated2018100]

This track is hard

[wallofdis]

I saw that someone who speaks Arabic took a stab at translating it and it turns out she’s basically doing a PSA about safe driving rules and I fell in love

Here are some gems from the article:

[lilgivenchyprincess]

“Maybe it’s brave to quit your job to go paint in Peru for a year, but it’s also brave to work two jobs to help pay for your mom’s medical bills. It’s smart to stay at the law firm until your loans are paid off. It’s OK to only tolerate your job but love your hobbies, because as soon as passions are turned into careers, you risk turning love into work. So you don’t love your job — who gives a shit? Are you happy with yourself? Are you happy with the way you treat people? Are you happy with your life?”

Guys, it’s been a couple of months.

And they have been MONTHS.

Here’s the short list of why I haven’t been around much this time:

- I have my DREAM job with my DREAM company and it’s going amazing. Sometimes stressful AF but the challenge is great and I finally found a great team to be part of.

- Mom is back at work and doing great. Thank you guys for being so supportive <3

- Now that that’s figured out, my best friend from high school and I made plans to move out together. June 1, baby!!

- My friend got married in Jamaica and there was a bunch of prep around that and it was hot but not only did I survive, I had a GREAT time. Yay!

- The day week before I left for Jamaica my doctor found a lump in my thyroid that’s pretty big - 4cm to be exact. Came outta nowhere.

- So I have to go get it biopsied to confirm it’s just a cyst and not cancer (and we’re all 99% sure it isn’t but still, not fun)

- The day I came back from Jamaica I found out that my best friend - the one I’m moving out with - her dad? He tried to stop a robbery and was murdered in broad daylight in the middle of a shopping mall.

- Found out when I was flying home and finally logged into Facebook to wish her a fucking happy birthday. The day after her dad died.

- Fhe story and the manhunt for the fucker who did it was all over the news the whole week I was away, partying it up on a beach while my friends life was turned upside down.

So. Some ups and downs.

I wish I was exaggerating some of this but I’m not.

Mentally, my depression has kicked in by way of fatigue. Like I said, I think I’m okay emotionally - but my body is reacting with heavy exhaustion. I’m keeping an eye on myself so things don’t get worse, but yeah... it’s a lot right now.

Anyways. Emotionally, I’m okay. Just focused on my work and my friend and trying to help her pick up the pieces.

It’s just so true that as soon as one part of your life comes together, the rest can fall apart.

I might have missed this but I’m just checking AM I THE ONLY ONE IN MY CIRCLE WHO GOT THE “you interacted with a Russian spy” EMAIL OR NAH cuz it sure feels like I am

my fiancé: honey i don’t think this is a good location for a wedding…

me, staring at the abandoned waffle house that was used as a brothel in the 1890s that emits an eerie glow and once had a murder happen inside it and is located precisely 7 miles away from area 51: i think it’s perfect

I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie

[anarchapella]

Ok but the other one is purring so hard

[valgalart]

If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead

[excessively-english-jd]

Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) - they are still classified as Lesser Cats.

Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.

@bitterfucker

[teameveryonebutironman]

Because I’m still bitter, I calculated Steve’s screen time divided by the total minutes of each of his movies.

The First Avenger:

The Winter Soldier:

Civil War:

He lost about 20% of his screen time in Civil War, his third and possibly last movie, to favour iron man and a story that had no significance to Captain America. I will never be over this.

[feliciates]

[blessedbethesamsteve]

yep yep yep forever pissed. Decades from now when I am long buried kids will come to my tombstone at night and say “Captain America: Civil War” three times to see me rise from my grave and rant about how Captain America Civil War was not a Captain America movie
