timelord-consultant and I made a scale of how tall everyone in our fandoms are.
I NEEDED THIS
SAM IS TALLER THAN THOR
SAM IS TALLER THAN THOR
I’m smaller than all of them.
I’m 5”1!!
I don’t care that I’m shorter than almost everyone. I’M THE SAME HEIGHT AS MORIARTY BITCHES
The 11th Doctor is 5’11”.
THE 11TH DOCTOR IS 5’11”.
So not only does this cater to my need to classify things,
- I am taller than John Watson! What!
- The Harry/Draco ship just got a lot more interesting.
- YES GOOD MORE PLEASE

Each morning, like clockwork, they board the subway, off to begin their daily routine amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
But these aren’t just any daily commuters. These are stray dogs who live in the outskirts of Moscow Russia and commute on the underground trains to and from the city centre in search of food scraps.Then after a hard day scavenging and begging on the streets, they hop back on the train and return to the suburbs where they spend the night.
Experts studying the dogs, who usually choose the quietest carriages at the front and back of the train, say they even work together to make sure they get off at the right stop – after learning to judge the length of time they need to spend on the train.
Scientists believe this phenomenon began after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s, and Russia’s new capitalists moved industrial complexes from the city centre to the suburbs.
Dr Andrei Poiarkov, of the Moscow Ecology and Evolution Institute, said: “These complexes were used by homeless dogs as shelters, so the dogs had to move together with their houses. Because the best scavenging for food is in the city centre, the dogs had to learn how to travel on the subway – to get to the centre in the morning, then back home in the evening, just like people.”
Dr Poiarkov told how the dogs like to play during their daily commute. He said: “They jump on the train seconds before the doors shut, risking their tails getting jammed. They do it for fun. And sometimes they fall asleep and get off at the wrong stop.”
The dogs have also amazingly learned to use traffic lights to cross the road safely, said Dr Poiarkov. And they use cunning tactics to obtain tasty morsels of shawarma, a kebab-like snack popular in Moscow.
With children the dogs “play cute” by putting their heads on youngsters’ knees and staring pleadingly into their eyes to win sympathy – and scraps.
Dr Poiarkov added: “Dogs are surprisingly good psychologists.”
This is super cool and I want a novel about these dogs.

n. a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head—a crisp analysis, a cathartic dialogue, a devastating comeback—which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage where you can connect more deeply with people than in the small ball of everyday life, which is a frustratingly cautious game of change-up pitches, sacrifice bunts, and intentional walks.

Submerged tree in the Green Lake. The Green Lake or Grüner See is a lake in Austria that dries out almost completely during fall, is used as a county park in the winter and is famous for the underwater park which forms during the spring due to the snow meltdown.
Most badass vernal pool of all time.

Year Six. We had been at school for six years, and until that moment I thought I had probably learned all I would ever need to learn. I knew how to figure out the volume of a cube. I knew who had painted the Sunflowers. I could tell you the history of Saint Lucia… But in all that time, I had never had a single lesson in eagle-calming. I had never even heard the subject mentioned. I’d had no idea that a person might need eagle-calming skills.
And in that moment, I felt my own ignorance spread suddenly out behind me like a pair of wings, and every single thing I didn’t know was a feather on those wings. I could feel them tugging at the air, restless to be airborne.
The Unforgotten Coat, by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Everyone needs to read this book. It is effortlessly poetic, full of wonder and mystery and curiosity, and somehow it is almost unknown. Read it. You will not be sorry.

How many pictures did Sherlock and I take at Connecticon?
SO. Many. Pictures.
Starring Kalliopestarmist as Sherlock and yours truely as John Watson.
So, confession: I am my own number one fangirl. That said, I cannot get over how good this costume came out. And props to my previously-underappreciated cheekbones for making it all possible.
Also John’s arm is in a sling because he fell off the stage after our skit. NOT because I pushed him in front of a bus like he told everyone.

Look at those pictures. Now back to me. How am I friends with these people? I am not cool enough. I dressed up as a ninja for Halloween and someone asked if I was a Muslim.
Mad props on your cosplay, guys. Looking forward to the day when I can hug you in person :)
