WARNING!!!!
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
say it again for the people in the back. women don't have to be rich to accomplish anything. women can and will work just as hard as everyone else for the same opportunities. we do not need the cheat code of being rich!
btw the katy perry/bezos' girlfriend/other four irrelevant billionaires 10 minute space stunt was not the first all female expedition no matter how much they try to market it as such. the first all female mission was in 1963 with soviet cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova, Irina Solovyova and Valentina Ponomaryova - all three of which were working class and had to pass incredibly hard exams to be chosen from 400 potential candidates. just in case we started falling for the propaganda machine again
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

My mom is a librarian so i use the study stuff from the bpl and it’s great. It’s my savior fr. And whenever we go on road trips and such we get audiobooks. I love libraries
“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year
Thank you. I hate the movie it felt gross to watch and reading gatsby is truly the best way to experience the story.
My final thoughts on The Great Gatsby 2013 after finishing the book
This film doesn’t need to exist, in fact, I think it’s existence is bad 💀
Rant below.
The actors and actresses were good choices, but I think that Gatsby is just one of those books that looses its’s specialness when adapted to film. The mastery of Great Gatsby comes from Fitzgerald’s ability to paint for the viewer every scene, every subtlety, every little word packed with meaning, through his writing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the words are what make Gatsby such a special book. It’s written in a clever way to make you pick up on things that won’t be explicitly stated or shown. It’s one of those stories that you have to pause and think about, and you can’t do that with a film. Not only that, but I don’t think the film was serious enoooough. It just seemed like it had two modes: PARTY HARD RAAH and awww sad gatsby 🥺 sad daisy NOT SAD ENOUGH, not MEANINGFUL enough. NO AMOUNT OF LANA DEL REY CAN SAVE THIS POORLY SET UP ROMANCE! We need Nick’s descriptions, the inner thoughts, the wonderful passage about Gatsby and Daisy’s first kiss five years ago in order to CARE about and understand the intriguing reasons behind their relationship.
I hate how Nick’s character was handled. Nick is apathetic and objectively not a good narrator, but he’s still very human. I was very impressed by Fitzgerald’s ability to balance awful qualities with real depictions of people. I don’t get that from the movie, Nick feels like a brick just sitting there 70% of the time. The only time the movie did something interesting with him was at the end. Also, I hate those sanatorium cutaways, what a way to ruin the moment.
The party scenes were pretty good, but the one in Myrtle’s apartment was uh… just not satisfying when compared to the book. Also, there was no Mr. McKee and Nick scene? THOSE COWARDS!
I actually really liked Tom’s actor and portrayal, I think he did the best job.
Uhhhhh, final thoughts, they tried to make up for the lack of deep writing with pure extravagance and forced glamour. No good, wouldn’t recommend.
anyhow, thats just my opinion :)
i don’t even own a car but this feels useful
Its come to my attention that a lot of people do not know how to deal with a hot car in summer. A lot of people will get back to their car, after hours of it being parked in the full sun, and will open the door to be blasted in the face with furnace-level temperatures, and you'll just clamber in and shut the doors and leave the windows closed and you'll start driving that thing, and you'll wait for the air-conditioning to battle and overcome the heat.
Thats. Insane to me.
The inside of a car can get up to 40°C/104°F hotter than the outside temperature. Why would anyone get inside that????? It's gonna take your air-conditioning at least half an hour to combat that and bring the temperature down to something even remotely reasonable, and in the meantime you're sitting there risking heatstroke.
Now, I understand that it's currently winter in the northern hemisphere, which is where most of this site lives, but a) I'm in the southern hemisphere and today was Lots Of Degrees, and b) y'all should read this now and commit it to memory or queue it to reblog in summer or whatever, because it boggles my mind that some of you get into a car whose interior is literally oven-hot.
So!!!! Some tips!!!!!
Get a sun visor. One of the big ones that goes inside your windshield. You will not believe how much cooler those things keep your car. Get one, use it. Leave it to bounce around in your back-seat on cooler days, but have it on hand for the stinkers. They range in price but two-dollar stores usually have them for pretty cheap.
Leave the windows of your car cracked open. It doesn't have to be much. Literally just the tiniest amount will mean that the heat building inside your car has a way to escape, meaning the interior temp will naturally be kept lower. The larger the opening, the better, but depending on the neighbourhood you're parking in, maybe it would be better to have them open just a sliver. Even the tiniest crack will help. Ever tried warming up an oven with the door open? It doesn't work well. This is the same concept. If there is a way for the hot air to escape, the inside of your car will stay a lot cooler than it otherwise would have.
If you're fancy enough to have an openable sunroof (that's the dream) then leave that open a bit as well.
Youve just gotten back to your car and opened the door, and its hot as fuck in there. Open another door, ideally on the other side of the car, and let the hot air escape. If you can open all four doors and the boot, then thats even better. A bunch of the hot air will flush out. Not all!!! But a lot. Give it anywhere from a few moments to a few minutes, depending on how much of a hurry you're in.
Get in, start the car, open all the windows. Yes, even if you hate having the windows open.
Put the air-conditioning on full blast, and make sure the recycle is turned OFF. This means it pulls fresh air from outside the car (hot, but less hot than inside) and pumps that into the car, further displacing the heat inside the vehicle.
Start driving, still with the windows down. Once you get up enough speed, the force of the air from outside coming in will blast the rest of the excess heat out of the car.
The temp inside the car will now be roughly equivalent to the temp outside the car. Still hot!!!! But MAJORLY less so, and majority more handle-able by your air-conditioner.
Put all your windows up, and switch the air-con over to recycle. This means it takes the air in the car and cools it, then spits it back into the car, meaning that with each cycle, the air gets progressively cooler a lot faster.
If you do this, your car will be a hell of a lot more comfortable a hell of a lot sooner than it would be if you got into a 60°C/140°F cabin and just.... endured that, until your aircon could overcome it.
This post has been brought to you by an Australian who knows not one but TWO people who get into 60°C cars and wait 15 to 30 minutes for their car to drop back down to a temperature that's even REMOTELY tolerable.

reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.
So we’re reading the Great Gatsby in class and we haven’t gotten that far but we were today we were talking about the movies and how they can be representative of the difference between old money and new money. So in order to discuss this in further detail we watched the beginnings of both the 1974 Great Gatsby and the 2013 Great Gatsby and I have to say whoever edited the 2013 version hates humans. I don’t think I’ve ever watched something so headache inducing in my life. I don’t know what the general consensus on this movie is but I think that it is a very good representation of the insecurity of “new money” rich people. Like every shot was made so bright and large and every costume is designed to feel extravagant even the casual ones and it feels like they are trying so hard to seem rich and successful and cool but they lack the class necessary to leave any lasting impression besides a headache.
p.s. I know my grammar is atrocious. Sorry bubs
p.p.s. if you like this movie this is not an attack on you these are just my thoughts lol. Totally and completely my opinion!!!
that feeling when the mushroom
me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
This is the funniest shit I've ever heard. It could be worse folks, at least we can still cyber bully them. =)
Why the hell aren't we learning this!!!! don't tell me I know. But this is so fucking important, like I've learned about the freaking revolutionary war like 80 times but not about this. The education system in america is so absolutely steeped in misogyny and racism it fucking kills me. We're fucked folks.
Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)
For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here
can we please talk about how Nick Carraway absolutely wants to get railed by his cousins husband in chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby
when she says she doesn’t send nudes
the yea is piping
call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.
