Love anon here, remember me?

I always assumed wizards just ignored science, because the fact that “magic” exists, can explain anything. But there are MuggleBorn wizards, ones who, until they were eleven, lived in the real world and learned science and things. Did they all just abandon that normal, muggle knowledge, like Harry did? It’s always been there, itching in the back of my mind.

FOUR FOR YOU SCIENCE WIZARD

like voldemort couldnt even do that shit

molly fuckin weasley couldnt fuckin do that

Diplomacy

THIS SHIT WORKS OKAY, I AM DEAD SERIOUS.

The last time I saw this on my dash, I didn’t think it would happen, so jokingly I wished I could go to a fun. concert.

AND GUESS WHAT, I WENT TO A FUCKING FUN. CONCERT.

I SAW THIS ON MY DASH THE OTHER DAY AND THOUGHT “ITS WORTH A TRY” SO I WISHED I COULD GET A 3DS

LITERALLY LIKE 4 DAYS LATER MY DAD SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE 3DS XL HE BOUGHT FOR ME WHILE I WAS AT SCHOOL

GUYS.

HE FUCKING CALLED ME 20 MINUTES LATER

20 FUCKNG. MINUTES. LATER.

don’t use them for their generosity

and for fuck’s sake don’t take them for granted expecting them to always be there because they’re nice

good-natured people can be worn down so much that even they can become jaded

A-Thousand-word ‘s “Thank You For Following” Book Giveaway!

Hi everyone! I’m really excited to invite you to my book giveaway! I want to do something to say thank you to the several thousand of you who have joined me over the past four and a bit years, those who have sent me nice messages, and just generally make tumblr my favourite website.

I see myself as words blog not a book blog, but you’ve probably noticed that nevertheless I am a bit of a book worm. I love sharing my love of books so I’m really excited to invite you to join this! It’s not just a book giveaway though; there is also a choice of books of quotes, and a choice of notepads available, plus I’ve included Keri Smith’s Wreck This Journal if reading isn’t your thing, or if English is your second language as I know is the case with many of you.

Details:

This is open internationally (yay!). To win you will need to share your address with me which I will only use to post the prize. If you are a minor in your country of residence get a guardians permission first please!

The winner will be able to choose one of each of the following;

One of the three quote books pictured (‘Keep Calm and Carry On’, or ‘Carpe Diem’, or ‘Sod Calm and Get Angry’). This will be dispatched from Book Depository.

The winner will also be able to choose one note book set (either a Hobbit LE Moleskine notepad, a ‘White Lies’ pocket notebook by Sloane Stationary, or a set of three Jack Wills notepads as pictured). These will be sent directly by me, with some English sweets! (so your prize will arrive in two parts)

Plus one of the above books in its British-English paperback format. This will be dispatched from Book Depository.

This closes on January 31st. It’s too busy to do around Christmas time, and it’s after my next payday.

The Rules:

You must be following me, since this is to thank followers.  I will check.

You can enter by liking and reblogging this post. You can reblog as frequently as you desire. Each reblog is an entry, but please be conscientious of your followers and don’t spam them which leads me to…

Entry is not open to giveaway only blogs, I’d like the chance to thank genuine followers and giveaway blogs often spam-reblog which gives an unfair advantage.

I will use a random number generator and work from the first entry to pick the winner.

The giveaway ends on January 31st. I will be choosing ONE WINNER at midnight GMT. Entries after this time won’t count. I will give the winner 48 hours to respond before I pick a new winner.

You’ll need an open ask box at the traditional /ask url, or a clearly visible email on your blog in order for me to contact you. If you have an ask box I will use this to contact you, not your email. If I can’t find either I will chose a new winner.

The address will only be used to ship the prize to you in two parts. The quotebook and paperback book will come directly from The Book Depository. The chosen notepad and some chocolate/sweets will be shipped directly from me. I can’t be held liable for anything lost in the post but I will get proof of postage. Hopefully that won’t happen. All will be shipped from the UK so depending on your location you may have to wait several weeks. [edit] Please do not send me your addresses unless I contact you for it if you win.

And my personal promise; I will not spam you with this giveaway. I will always tag it ‘atw giveaway’ so you can block the post from your dash if you wish to.

On the morning of September 4, 1957, fifteen-year-old Dorothy Counts set out on a harrowing path toward Harding High, where-as the first African American to attend the all-white school – she was greeted by a jeering swarm of boys who spat, threw trash, and yelled epithets at her as she entered the building.

Charlotte Observer photographer Don Sturkey captured the ugly incident on film, and in the days that followed, the searing image appeared not just in the local paper but in newspapers around the world.
