Today we remember the Battle of Hogwarts
Today is May 2nd, the day the battle of Hogwarts 15 years ago. The day that Harry, Ron and Hermione snuck back into Hogwarts and destroyed the Horcruxes. The day that Harry finally defeated Voldemort. We remember everyone who fought in the war and all those who died. Fred Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Colin Creevey, Severus Snape and more. May we raise our wands to those who fought and...

Monsters, Inc. provides such a good example of social construction. Children aren’t toxic, but the monsters have always been told they are, so they believe it until Sulley proves otherwise. A child coming into their world was their worst nightmare because they were so misinformed, proving that education about and tolerance for those who are different is key in breaking down...

So I'm attempting to watch Supernatural
but I keep having to pause it every time the dialogue gets too ridiculous, which makes for very Very VERY slow going.
And I caught this gem of a reaction when Dean announces that, since all his scars and badly-set bones were healed when he was, ah, reanimated, that means he’s a virgin now too.
“Maybe angels could pull you outta Hell but no one could do that.”
Possibly the...

i really like the thought that derek hale is disgustingly good at board games and no one expects that
like just imagine him demolishing everyone at risk or cluedo with a totally serious face and it ends up everyone vs. him because they’re determined to take him down but they cant and thatS WHY HE’S ALPHA
Except he just can’t win at The Game of Life.

A Prehistoric Avengers AU!
At last, what we’ve all been waiting for.
Clint is the majestic Archaeopteryx. I was recently reminded that neither of them can fly, but they both know how to fall with style. And there is that whole thing with the feathers.
Natasha is a Masiakasaurus. The internet assures me that the genus name means “vicious lizard” and that the Masiakasaurus “speared prey with its...

I am not your wife, sister or daughter
believermag:
One of the most incisive responses to some of the rhetoric we’ve been hearing in the wake of the Steubenville rape verdict is this blog post over at The Belle Jar. It articulates a discomfort many of us have with the sentiment (invoked in many contexts), “Imagine if the victim was your sister, or your daughter, or your wife.” Read the whole piece. This is what impassioned cultural...

shitmystudentswrite:
Romeo can’t really be blamed for Ophelia’s death.
In a way, you can argue that he can be blamed. Romeo and Juliet is generally thought to have been produced before Hamlet, meaning that Shakespeare’s success in the theater allowed him to continue writing. Essentially, Romeo’s presence on stage is what allowed Shakespeare to kill Ophelia.
Granted, the...

Evil Asks. - These are pretty interesting
A. If you could get away with one murder in your lifetime without any legal, social, or emotional repercussions, would you kill someone?
B. What is your first thought when you receive a message on Tumblr, are you excited for the idea of someone from potentially the other side of the world wanting to talk to you or fearful that someone will criticize you?
C. Have you ever looked down on someone because you thought your religious views were superior?
D. Would you rather know everything the universe has to offer but in exchange lose all emotions or remain the way you are now?
E. If you could live and be healthy without sleeping or eating/drinking, which would you cut out of your life?
F. If you could take on the exact body and form of anyone else on Earth, who would it be?
G. Would you rather burn or freeze to death?
H. If it meant it would solve all world hunger, war, disease and bigotry, would you spend the rest of eternity in Hell?
I. Was the first crush in your life something you had or something someone had on you?
J. Could you live without having sex ever (again) in exchange for eternal youth?
K. Have you ever watched a full length pornographic movie?
L. The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
M. If you could have the ability to manipulate matter or energy, which would you choose?
N. What was the worst nightmare you ever had?
O. Would you rather spend one year with your one true love just to never see them again or the rest of your life with second best?
P. All the sequels/remakes/adaptations/rip-offs in movies nowadays, good or bad?
Q. Would you rather be dirt poor and emotionally fulfilled in life or be rich beyond imagination and emotionally dissatisfied for life?
R. Do you have any (secret) feelings of bigotry to any group of people?
S. Would you rather be the only person in the world that can read minds or have everyone else in the world be able to read minds except for your own?
T. If everyone in the world would automatically only know one language, which language would you choose?
U. If you were old enough and not in a situation where it would be inappropriate, would you sleep with one of your (past) school teachers/professors?
V. A world without religion, good, bad, neutral?
W. The men's rights movement, legitimate cause or laughable, and why?
X. You can eliminate one of your five senses to substantially strengthen the others, which one and would you do it?
Y. Do looks mean anything to you? Don't lie, could you fall in love with someone you thought was ugly?
Z. Can you understand the mindset and logic used by the opposite spiritual opinion? An atheist understanding the belief in a higher power and vice versa.

Let’s take a look at a few of my favs so far;
Sassy Waterstones worker, I love you,
And well this is true:
Sometimes I do worry about their psyche though:
They make up cool new words;
They’re a sassy little shit.
And best of all, the Holden debacle;
And one more for good luck:

I love it when books acknowledge that there is a conscious, voluntary aspect to emotion.
