Hey visitors, I'm Kate (she/they), 27 and this is my mess of a blog! I'm just a ball of neuroses and lots of feelings trying to have a good time and share what makes me happy and what I think is important! I'm an animal lover with a messy room, a lot of bad habits, too many twinkle lights, and awesome siblings, but let's just all try to have a good time, huh? Feel free to send me messages about stuff
I think what fucks me up the most is that each passenger paid at least $250,000 to be in that submersible. And ultimately, as billionaires, that’s like. A percentage of a percent of a percentage of their wealth. It’s like a trip to Starbucks for people like me. There is not a single person in my life whose existence would not be monumentally changed for the better in ways they probably can’t even imagine by having $250,000 accessible to them. And these dudes handed it over to go die in the ocean in a tin can piloted by a video game controller in some kind of fucked up deep sea Major Tom situation
I mean, those 250.000$ did change their lives. I get what you mean, but their lives did change a lot since they took that trip.
You know what? Fair enough. I cannot argue with that.
when i was post op after top surgery i had a good friend there with me to help recover. but the nurse didnt get the memo and when i woke up she was like “ok i’m gonna go get your girlfriend and bring her in to see you!” and i remember being so zonked on anesthesia and so disoriented i just laid there thinking wow…… all that an they’re bringing me a girlfriend too this place is amazing
posting this on twitter will get you put into witness protection
The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.
You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again
“redneck” is a valid culture, not a euphemism for “bigot”
So this has probably already been said on this post but I dont wanna scroll through 66k notes to find it.
The term Redneck gain prominence with striking coal miners in Appalachia. They wore red bandanas around their necks to express union solidarity.
And they fucking FOUGHT police and Pinkerton strike breaker forces. It was a period called The Coal Wars.
The poor and working classes have a long history of community support and rejecting police authority.
If you’re pro-cop, you’re not a redneck, you’re a bootlicker who based your personality on a played out Jeff Foxworthy caricature. Get bent. Your ancestors are ashamed of you.
The association of the term “redneck” with racism and bigotry is a direct result of government propaganda and covert ops designed to keep white activists and black activists from organizing together.
the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman
but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything
What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.
I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode
You know what, aang used to have a friend in the fire nation called kuzon, right? I was thinking, because almost no one knew aang was the avatar kuzon probably thought he had been killed along with the other Airbenders
So what i like to imagine is:
the gaang, post-war, visiting a random fire nation village in the middle of nowhere, when suddenly an elderly woman approaches them and tentatively calls out “aang?”
Everyone wary till she says “I’m kuzon’s daughter”
Leads them to this little hut out of town
“apologies, we never had much money, no one would hire my father because of his views…”
Turns out, kuzon never forgot his friend aang, and never forgave the fire nation for what they did
Spent the rest of his life loudly denouncing the war and the firelord’s actions, which periodically got him in trouble with the law
She leads them to the basement, where lo and behold…
Dozens of air nomad heirlooms, mementos, trinkets
A couple of diaries, full of traditions, histories, tales and myths
Every scrap of air nomad culture kuzon could find, every story aang ever told him
“he tried to preserve as much of your culture as he could”
Aang later uses kuzon’s heirlooms to rebuild the air nomads
hi. i’m not american. WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THE OFFICIAL ARBY’S SLOGAN IS “WE HAVE THE MEATS” OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT FOR MYSELF TODAY JUST NOW
WE HAVE THE MEATS???????????? WE HAVE THE FUCKING MEATS????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
