Green Great Dragons

riza hawkeye is the smartest fucking character in fma because she looked at herself, a shy sheltered daughter of landed gentry, and she looked at roy, an arsehole with a heart of gold desperately in need of a tragic backstory, and she saw the genre they were in, shōnen anime, and then CLAWED her way out of fridged wife-hood thru sheer grit and long-distance murder and we salute

I SAID WHAT I SAID

a big part of being happy is being excited. be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, decorating your future apartment, seeing a friend again, falling in love unexpectedly, the next episode of a show you like, finishing something stressful, buying something you’ve been saving up for, a new album, sunsets, traveling, road trips, and the feeling of going to bed after a long day. think of something to be excited about and daydream about it often when you’re sad.

Disabled people belong in the environmental sciences. Disabled people can and should be ecologists, zoologists, biologist, botanists, etc. There are ways to accommodate your disabilities. There are ways to do field work while disabled. It is good for the planet to have disabled people in environmental science, as their lived experiences create unique lenses to experience and analyze problems through. Disabled people are also disproportionately impacted by environmental changes. By studying and fighting for our planet, we are fighting for the other members of our community.

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

having sex with your friends is so very normal please stop poisoning the youths minds with shame surrounding hooking up with your friends. especially if you’re gay

people are so fucking mad in the notes that adults have sex with each other and aren’t married sometimes. yall are carbon copies of your conservative parents and you’re so proud of it. ewwww

Article about it here. 

what’s important to note and missing from the “headline” tweet is that they simultaneously constructed additional good public transit to the public transit already in the city (bus rapid transit, train stations). Just removing highway alone isn’t going to make traffic better, the bigger part of the story is that they improved public transportation. And the current mayor wants to do more - cyclist lanes and reinstate a tram system

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

#'but X was kind to their-' they treated people like property karen#history

"dni if you engage with irredeemable media! dni to kill a mockingbird stans" ok well CLEARLY you have never read to kill a mockingbird if you think it's irredeemable media and also having a book that was published in 1960 on your dni stan list is kinda ridiculous actually

i literally do not think any of you have ever read a book published before the 2000s before in your entire life

#'Dni if you've read to kill a mockingbird' what's is this the Florida banned books list #Who r u Ron DeSantis

You really buried the lede by only mentioning To Kill a Mockingbird

do u ever miss your own energy. like damn what happened to me

thank you for appreciating my boobs calculator joke but the real overlooked gem of this post is rogers false elk. basically this entire post was just an excuse to come up with a hypothetical monster called rogers false elk. its just so pleasing to me. does nobody care him? does nobody but me care for rogers false elk?

at one point a friend was asking for advice naming some fantasy monster and i suggested "hobson's false chimera". this eventually developed into an entire hunk of world backstory about Hobson, the World's Mightiest Naturalist. He was not an observant man, he was not particularly careful or precise, he did not take copious notes, and perhaps he needed glasses. But he survived in places that other people did not, and as such, wrote the initial treatises that people used to identify things. Only. He was very bad at it. And thus things would get weird names, or there'd be the normal name for an animal and also the Hobson name that he gave it when he "discovered" a "new" animal that was actually just an existing animal he didn't recognize, and so on.

Whoever ends up bringing back Doctor Who eventually, this is a formal plea to not be a coward and have companions be from other times, places, and planets again. I miss characters from the past who have to learn new technologies. I miss characters from the future who see our time as history. I miss characters from other countries who are proud of being from there. I miss characters from other planets who have zero cultural understanding of our world and have a whole other history of their own. I can’t keep doing contemporary England forever. The only non-traditional companions we’ve had in New Who are Jack, River, and Nardole, none of whom were around much nor did their differences get explored very closely. I need a Jamie. I need a Zoe. I need a Nyssa. Please, anything, I’m begging. Don’t be cowards. 😫
