I really wish most actors who would be fucking honest and say it’s hard to keep getting consistent work in the industry and they’re chasing that bag over having morals. The problem is, that means admitting you don’t actually give a damn about morality.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

I always keep him on a long leash on the beach because I don't want him bothering wildlife.

Dog, who is usually curious about the birds, decided that in no way whatsoever did he want to go over and investigate. Sensible lad.

I met a fellow on a beach. I asked for a side quest, but he was too busy with his fish.

“What’s today?” cried Scrooge, calling downward to a boy in Sunday clothes.

“Today?” replied the boy. “Why, it’s Paperback Book Release Day sir!”

On top of everything else: there's an obvious answer to questions like "why didn't indigenous nations unite against European invaders" and you can see it if you just flip the question: why didn't European and West Asian nations unite against the Mongols?

"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism

Had the Aztecs and Incas shown a bit more interest in the world surrounding them - and had they known what the Spaniards had done to their neighbours - they might have resisted the Spanish conquest more keenly and successfully.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

Honestly, there are little gangs of them hanging about on the roads. I'm sure they're giving each other the heads up that it's a bit dicey in the woods right now.

It's currently hunting season, so you need to be extra careful on the roads because apparently the deer have the good sense to stay out of the forest, preferring to fling themselves in front of you, from fucking nowhere.
