In the olden days, if footage was not used in a film, it was either destroyed or erased so they could reuse the reel, because it was cheaper than storing unused film.

Faroe Islands

It wouldn’t be surprising if people aren’t familiar with this place as I most certainly wasn’t until I kept seeing photos of it pop up in photos and stories from landscape photographers. It’s a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean situated in between Iceland and Norway.

Some of the most surreal and dreamy landscapes I’ve ever seen were on these islands. Everything felt like it was scaled to epic proportions from the sheer cliffs to the beautiful jagged rock formations in the sea, to the various sharp edges on different mountainsides. Their quaint villages all grouped together in little nooks of the island with their roofs made of grass; some of these villages were so isolated that they had less than 20 permanent residents. Driving on their roads was basically going through a blur of beautiful scenery with random backdrops of waterfalls scattered about all over the place. It honestly felt like you were living in someones vivid imagination.

There is an Irish restaurant chain called Supermacs that has opnened around 100 stores in Ireland since 1978. 

Recently, McDonald’s decided that this small restaurant chain that hasn’t even made it out of Ireland needed to be taught a lesson, and sued them on the basis that “Supermacs” infringes on the “Big Mac” brand name. Which is, of course, absolutely ridiculous.

McDonald’s ended up losing the case, because of course they did, they didn’t have a case to begin with. As a result, McDonald’s lost the rights to the term “Big Mac” across the entire European Union.

Most shows I’ve seen that mention fan fiction readers/writers portray them as kinda oddball super-geeks with no lives or social skills.

So I wanna take a moment to appreciate the fact that in Parks & Recreation, the character who writes fan fiction is the intelligent, successful, and good-looking primary love interest of the main character.

Here we have Terry from Brooklyn Nine Nine. He’s an Absolute Unit, father, police officer, black, intelligent, kind, a main character……and writes fanfiction from The Good Wife.

“i need more of the rowan felted tweed, i’m making some first-world-war balaclavas and i’ve run out”

“i’m making my husband an x-files themed jumper for christmas and i can’t find a good colour for the spaceship”

“do you have any wool/acrylic blends on sale, i’m making hats for the seamen’s mission to give to sailors and i know they say to use acrylics because they’re cheap but it gets awfully cold at sea and i worry”

“i need some black wool for gloves, but it has to be flame-proof because i’m making them for the beltane fire-jugglers”

“could you see if you have another copy of this pattern for a baby shawl, i’ve knitted it in different colours for all of my six children and twelve grandchildren but it’s started to fall apart a bit"

[from a blond, six-foot surfer dude] “yeah, do you have any really light needles, i’m going backpacking around argentina and i want to do some socks while i’m on the coach but there isn’t much room in my rucksack”
