It's Majel

If you can correctly identify what type of dog Zorro is, you get a prize*

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And I want to emphasize this point, this rebuttal of Sauron's divide and conquer tactics: The Fellowship gets weakened. It suffers losses. It becomes scattered across the larger battlefield. But its members remain true to each other, and to their shared mission, even when they find themselves parting ways to accomplish it. At the end of the first film, Aragorn tells Frodo, “I would have gone with you to the end. To the very fires of Mordor.” And where is Aragorn, at the end of the last film?? The gates of Mordor, with the remaining members of the Fellowship (and some new friends, too), exactly where Frodo needs them to be at that moment. No one expects to survive, no one can guarantee victory, and no one but the audience sees the tiny bud on the Tree of Gondor, hope blooming in response to faithfulness even while the sky remains overcast and the city lies in ruins around it.

To repeat my previous tags: #I've said this before and I'll say it again #the devil WANTS you to feel overwhelmed and already defeated and like the small acts of everyday love and faithfulness aren't enough #but in fact each one is chipping another stone out of the foundation of his dark tower #and from your vantage point you may not see the people chipping stones on the other side (but they are there!) #you don't need an extensive understanding of architecture to bring it down #just the willing hands of a hobbit

Anne of a Green Gables/Buddie au is finished, complete, done!! Didn’t think I’d ever get there but I have and now I present to you another epically long niche AU. Inspired this time by the ever lovely @lonelychicago quite a long time ago now.

It’s sweet and soft with fire family feels, love and hope, a bit of humor, a drop of angst and general pining. Here in AU land everyone lives and happily ever after is the way we roll. Give it a go 😉

Evan Buckley has lived in orphanages almost longer than he can remember. They tried to find a place for him more than once but it never quite worked out, now at almost 15 he’s given up hope of finding a home but then a letter arrived from Prince Edward’s Island saying that Mr & Mrs Robert Nash wanted a boy to come live with them.

Now he’s on his way to a new life in a place called Avonlea and he couldn’t be happier.

The 911 Anne of Green Gables Au you didn’t know you needed.

The white blossoms on the tree on the other side of the train tracks are beautiful. They remind him of the trees that used to be at the bottom of their street before things went wrong and his parents decided to send him and Maddie away.

Buck hasn’t seen his sister in a long long time. He still thinks about her, looks for signs of her in the reflection of his own face. The only friendly face he’s seen for years now.

Reducing the fat content does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

Reducing the sugars does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

The only way to increase the healthiness of your food is by adding additional nutrients to it.

I saw a video of someone complaining that fucking chicken tikka masala "wasn't healthy" so they made a "healthier version" that was, in fact, LESS HEALTHY. Because they made it with only fat free dairy products, rendering many of the vitamins they would have otherwise gotten from that meal utterly useless, because the body needs fats in order to absorb them properly.

Two tbsp of brown sugar does not render a meal "unhealthy." Full fat dairy products do not render a meal "unhealthy." Calorically dense foods do not render a meal "unhealthy."

If you're really concerned about your health, add more nutrients. Eat extra veggies or extra protein. But you're not actually worried about your health. You're worried about your weight.

You're worried that in the process of eating a homemade meal with lean protein and veggies and a rich, delicious sauce you will consume more energy than you can use today.

You're worried that energy might be stored so that your body can use it when it needs to later.

You're worried that your relationship with gravity might change. You've been taught to worry about that. You've been taught to misconstrue manufacturered body issues as being "health conscious." But you're not doing things to promote health. You're just trying to reduce your energy consumption no matter what.

Sorry to keep banging on about this! I just have a few days left to meet the funding goal!

Massive thanks to all of you for contributing, sharing etc. I have a lot of people to contact and confirm things with, and will keep you all updated with how things are progressing.

I can't wait to get testing, and will begin weighted training etc. asap so that I can hit the ground running once the armour is complete!

andererseits stehen coole sachen meist auch im kompletten kontrast zum tatsächlichen behörden-alltag also ist die wahrscheinlichkeit eher gering dass sich das durchsetzt 😢

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist gering, aber du hast jetzt die einzigartige Möglichkeit den Lauf der (Verwaltungs-)Geschichte zu beeinflussen und den Wandel voranzutreiben, indem du als erster wieder in Heroldskluft auf der Arbeit aufkreuzt und den Weg für angemessene Berufskleidung ebnest.

And the kids are like "but they get into our bug traps" and "we didn't catch him he followed us home"

And their parents are like. Please i do not believe that 6 fucking pixies smuggled themselves into our garage on the underside of your bicycle saddle and then set up shop in the old dolls house. These are living beings they're not toys it's not kind to treat them like this

And the kids are like we are NOT treating them like anything you said we're not allowed to trap them and they always get into our traps so we always run away when they see us and then they follow us and get inside our backpacks and stuff

And the parents are like

Stop lying!!!

And then they set up wildlife cams and not only can pixies apparently do all of that and are very desperate to hang out with these human kids (who have fun life-sized toys and are covered in wonderful things like glitter and are a free source of fresh bugs and pop tart crumbs)

But they can also like. Fully just pick locks and shit.

Me, every time I see this multigenerational handprint mural from Cueva de Los Manos:
