my first girlfriend turned into the moon

my cousin’s cat was acting really weird today, freaking out and not letting anyone near her, hissing and growling, and it got so concerning they decided to take her to the vet

The holy grail of searching through academic literature is coming across a string of publications that are like:

“it floats”

people: wrinkles ugly :/

I shall now attempt to summarize fma in one sentence

What the fuck? The original comic is about whitewashing:

1.  “more aid to ireland during the famine than britain” okay let’s clear this up, again– there was no famine, it was a genocide, commited specifically by the british.  ireland was literally packed with food.  the only crop that failed was the potato crop.  the british had no problem with ships FULL OF FOOD leaving british ports on british ships from ireland to other places to make money.  IT.  WAS.  NOT.  A.  FAMINE.  IT.  WAS.  A.  GENOCIDE.   and that probably explains why britain didn’t “send aid”.  britain was literally using the “famine” they manufactured to clear the land of indigenous irish people.

And - all through primary school (until age 12) it was taught as a famine; only in secondary school did we learn that the British caused it deliberately. There’s a fair amount of Irish YA novels about the Famine (can’t remember titles off the top of my head), and they’re all pretty brutal with the facts of what happened. Not to mention most people’s great-grandparents probably lived through it - it’s not that far back.

And let’s remember that this was less that 20 years after the Choctaw had been forced off their land. This was not a group that had a lot to spare. But they had lost so much in the Trail of Tears that they understood and wanted to help however they could.
