The imagery of the blonde, explicitly gay ghost dancing in the Dirty Candy sequences of Julie and the Phantoms is like Kenny Ortega rectifying what was oppressed out of Ryan Evans by having the ghost of it dance with a figure both literally based on Sharpay and in-universe is nostalgia for the 2000′s Looks she inspired……..Ryan was always gay but now his explicit gayness finally gets to dance with the resurrected spirit of Sharpay….in an episode named Finally, Free….Kenny Ortega knows he’s 70 years old, and that he lived through the 50′s and 60′s as a gay youth, that worked on Pretty in Pink with a closeted Duckie and made countless gay iconography, and now, at last, in a g rated kids SHOW he finally gets to make the explicit message, and be in conversation with the past…….”I was just doing that for you guys” I KNOW YOU WERE, BABY, AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR IT!

THE SCENE WHERE FRED AND GEORGE ARE CHEERING UP A YOUNGER STUDENT AFTER DEALING WITH UMBRIDGE IS UNDERAPPRECIATED

Do you also feel like this sometimes?

One real benefit of reading I rarely hear anybody mention is how much more interesting life becomes when you read a lot. It depends what you’re reading, of course, but most (good) books will teach you something you didn’t already know, and even if you have to give the book back to the library, you get to take that much with you. A lot of people talk about things they wish they’d studied in school–I’ve done it, too–but it’s a nice consolation prize that you can always pick up a book and learn something new. And as that library in your brain collects more volumes, everything around you gains new resonances, new context, and new connections which make your lived experience richer. In quarantine alone I’ve read about religion and politics and history and evolution and computer science and astrophysics without even leaving my house and it’s already a more interesting world. 

Not that I was expecting much otherwise, but Shark Week has just started and they kicked it off by having a convicted rapist force a caribbean reef shark into tonic immobility.

This is incredibly stressful for the shark and there was no scientific data being collected - they just strap a camera to the dorsal fin for extra content.

Now let’s talk about how ridiculous these assholes look.

They’re in FULL CHAIN MAIL. All these theatrics about how dangerous and scary these REEF SHARKS are, acting like they’re going to be savaged if something goes wrong. It’s all theatrics.

When I worked at the aquarium, my colleagues wore chain mesh gloves and a wetsuit when feeding and handling grey nurse/sand tiger sharks.

These Shark Week dumbasses think they’re so big and tough harassing these reef sharks that are just trying to go about their day.

And this is going to inspire so many idiot divers to copy this stunt to prove how brave they are. 

Shark Week has become an absolute garbage pile of sensationalist rubbish rather than any sort educational conservation programming. 

Putting this on tv is going to encourage idiots to copy the stunt and continue to treat sharks as something to ‘conquer’ rather than the important apex predators that they are.

I’m super depressed right now show me your favorite snail please

late night studying — edmund pevensie

At breakfast table

Ravenclaw: I need someone to borrow their homework for me to copy

Gryffindor: You? Homework? I'm confused why haven't you done yours?

Ravenclaw: I got busy last night with a research on the European monarchs and tracked their families down until 1576 or so and forgot the homework

Hufflepuff: Why on Earth would you -

Slytherin: Don't you dare to get them started. *hands over the homework*

Hufflepuff: So, tell me Slytherin, how did you end up daiting Ravenclaw?

Slytherin: They showed up to a blind date with a Very Serious™ list of deep questions plus hatred for humankind and I thought it was funny as hell so here we are

Ravenclaw: *starts working on an essay*

Ravenclaw: *gets sidetracked with something that came up during the research for the essay*

Ravenclaw: *ends up researching the topic that got them sidetracked and completely forgets the original essay*

Hey all y'all Americans out there please keep this in mind, make sure your votes count and oust the cheeto from the White House

Bookstore Girl: Edmund x Reader

Summary: You work at a bookshop in Brooklyn and a handsome stranger comes in one Sunday afternoon. 

A/N: welcome new friends!! thank you so much for your love on my last edmund oneshot and I rlly hope you like this one! let me know what you think in the comments and such (also if you get some of the little references i hid in there ;))!! <3

Sunday afternoons were your favorite. The tranquil quiet of the street was in stark contrast to Saturdays when tourists would filter into the shop, talking and laughing as they checked out the crowded shelves and warmed up on their way to one attraction or another.

“Scientists come in two varieties, hedgehogs and foxes. I borrow this terminology from Isaiah Berlin (1953), who borrowed it from the ancient Greek poet Archilochus. Archilochus told us that foxes know many tricks, hedgehogs only one. Foxes are broad, hedgehogs are deep. Foxes are interested in everything and move easily from one problem to another. Hedgehogs are only interested in a few problems that they consider fundamental, and stick with the same problems for years or decades. Most of the great discoveries are made by hedgehogs, most of the little discoveries by foxes. Science needs both hedgehogs and foxes for its healthy growth, hedgehogs to dig deep into the nature of things, foxes to explore the complicated details of our marvelous universe. Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble were hedgehogs. Charley Townes, who invented the laser, and Enrico Fermi, who built the first nuclear reactor in Chicago, were foxes. It often happens that foxes are as creative as hedgehogs. The laser was a big discovery made by a fox. The general public is misled by the media into believing that great scientists are all hedgehogs. Some periods in the history of science are good times for hedgehogs, other periods are good times for foxes. The beginning of the twentieth century was good for hedgehogs. The hedgehogs—Einstein and his followers in Europe, Hubble and his followers in America—dug deep and found new foundations for physics and astronomy. When Fermi and Townes came onto the scene in the middle of the century, the foundations were firm and the universe was wide open for foxes to explore. Most of the progress in physics and astronomy since the 1920s was made by foxes.”

Hogwarts House Crisis

Me: Pshhh! I’m not part Slytherin, I’m a full on Ravenclaw. Pottermore rarely puts me in Slytherin.

Also Me: *Re-starts every card game on my phone if I don’t like my cards just so I can win.*

Me Again: *Trying to chase my life dreams at the young age of 15*

Me the Third: *Wants to move out of the house because my family is irritating and I want to leave the house and provide for myself and live by myself and avoid annoying people*

Me the Fourth: *Loves every Hufflepuff out there*

(No hate to slytherin though, I just have always thought of myself as a Ravenclaw)

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s not healthy to become obsessive over real life people who play characters you love. If you are obsessively fixating on a celebrity you should step back and understand something else in your life may be causing that but it is not healthy for you and not healthy for the celebrity.

It’s important to respect actors and actresses! Do not expect to know everything about their personal lives and be understanding of privacy.

Too many people cannot differentiate between reality and fantasy and it’s damaging for everyone involved.
