U.S. conservatives always talk about creating jobs but get SO MAD whenever anyone mentions banning prison labor like imagine the insane ammout of jobs that would be created literally overnight if companies in your country had to actually employ people instead of using slave labor from people that got caught with weed 10 years ago.
In an interview with Teen Vogue, the Irish âBridgertonâ and âDerry Girlsâ star, Nicola Coughlan, revealed that she was told her Palestinian advocacy could harm her career.
âYou do get told, âyou wonât get work, you wonât do this,â but I also think, deep down, if you know that youâre coming from a place of âI donât want any innocent people to suffer,â then Iâm not worried about peopleâs reactions,â she said.
One time this man approached me in a bar talking in Spanish. So I assumed he was Spanish and we started speaking, we had a whole ass conversation and at some point he was like. So what part of Spain are you from? And I said well Iâm Italian actually. What part of Spain are you from? And he was like. Iâm Greek.

Get you a girl who speaks in parentheses. Get you a girl who includes information in a sentence that isn't necessary but adds additional context or commentary.
Trying to figure out if youâre ace or aro can be so much harder than other sexualities because itâs like, trying to find the absence of something. Imagine youâre at a pond and you want to know if there are any turtles, or fish. Say you find a turtle and youâre like âgreat! Now I know there are turtles.â Or a fish, now you know for sure there are fish. Or you find both, and now you know for a fact there are both turtles and fish in the pond.
But like, if you donât find any turtles it might be that there are no turtles or maybe youâre just really shitty at looking for turtles and maybe you THINK you saw a turtle over there or maybe it was just a stick. Maybe there are only a few turtles. Maybe you need to do something special to find the turtles. Maybe a bunch of these rocks are actually turtles but you couldnât tell them apart. Maybe there are no turtles. You have no idea. Meanwhile some people are saying âOh there have to be turtles! Youâll find them eventually ;)â or âHow many turtles have you found in your pond?â or âTry planting some vegetables at the shore to attract the turtles.â Or âOh no! What disaster happened to your pond that there are no turtles?â And youâre just standing there wet with an empty net and a tired expression.
But whatever because whether there are turtles or fish or not your pondâs ecology works just fine without them because thatâs what eco-communities do they form a system around what they have. You arenât missing anything if you donât have turtles you just have a pond system without turtles. If someone tried to change you by pouring a bunch of turtles into your pond it would probably fuck something up.
So you donât have to be entirely sure. You donât have to search every inch of the damn pond before you can decide there are probably no turtles. If you want to take the aro or ace label because you think it fits go for it. And if you do find your turtles you can rename the pond. Thatâs fine.
oh so when the reader knows something i donât itâs âdramatic ironyâ but when i know something the reader doesnât suddenly iâm an âunreliable narratorâ đ
one of my favourite things about this live album being from so many different cities is that you can see how differently he's loved by fans around the world. from the "i love you" chants in rio during fearless, the "i love you" in portuguese, fans being so loud for chicago in chicago, fans at the o2 being so fucking loud for the greatest because we knew how pivotal it was, fans chanting "surrounded by lights" for the megamix in munich and many more. like it doesn't matter what language you speak, you can still see how much everyone adores louis. man i love live music so much
Shout out to all the notes-app poems, love letters, secrets, novels, diary entries, bucket lists and lyrics that were hurredly typed into peopleâs phones at 3am and then hidden from the world and forgotten. Maybe one day youâll open the app and laugh at how pretentious you were, or maybe youâll smile at that part of yourself that noone else saw
unfortunately i Do feel better when i clean my living space and eat enough fruits and veggies and go outside and generally remember i am a mammal :| real pity that knowing this does not make it easier to do those things
