people who take hot baths are practically begging to end up in a witch's stew.

I absolutely am.

Do you think that there were any ships that went out whaling out of New England and missed the entire american civil war

Like they went out in 1860 had a long voyage for the usual reasons and came back in late 1865 with very little idea of what had happened. like "oh boy I've finally finished getting my whale oil I can't wait to see my favourite president Abraham Lincoln after having been out whaling since early 1860." do you think that that was anyone

Something like this happened to famous Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton. He set out on an expedition in the arctic in 1914 just as the World War I had begun. The expedition was a disaster, he and his crew got lost and stranded. Somehow they survived though, and after much struggling and an incredible and impossible journey, they found help from a whaling station on South Georgia Island near the end of 1916. One of the first questions Shackleton asked from his saviors was something along the lines of "whatever happened with that war in Europe? How long did it last and who won?". The reply he got back was "the war isn't over. Millions are dead. Europe is mad. The world is mad". It's difficult to imagine the shock and terror that those few words must have generated.

reblogging because I’ve seen this post a thousand times and I’ve never seen the happy ending!! 

Everyone go watch Dog Day Afternoon please please please it’s the movie mentioned in this thread it’s Sidney Lumet’s best imo and Al Pacino plays John and he is heartbreakingly good in it.

Trying so hard to listen to my body, but all I ever hear is "ow"

This one really does just gain momentum with every new word, huh?

Talk to construction workers and you will learn that the million-dollar mansions being made today are total garbage that will fall apart within a few decades.

Decades? Try years. Try immediately. I toured a high-end development demo house once and the place was already shit. Drawers didn't fit right on their runners, doors not hung right, all sorts of other small issues. The people I know who work in the trades say they're not allowed to spend the time to build these places right. Labour costs money and everyone from the owners to the developers to the contractors wants to save a few dollars. And that includes the private mansions they've worked on. It all adds up to small leaks and minor inconveniences that build into structural problems that will make these places uninhabitable in less time than it takes to pay the mortgage.

Disabled people pointing out ableism by the wider queer community is not "ruining the vibes" of pride month
