Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win
Month
I FOUND A LINKwhen i saw all time low in 2013 this kid threw his ipod on stage and rian picked it up and it was opened to notes and it said “can i sing dear maria with you?” and the band were pretty much like “yeah get up here” and then it turned into “WHO CAN PLAY DEAR MARIA ON DRUMS/BASS/GUITAR” and they found people who could and straight up handed them their instruments and let these four kids from the audience play dear maria on stage and it’s one of the coolest things i have ever seen
well i have a new band to get into now FUCK THIS IS SO COOL.
1800’s French Military Uniform
Today’s Military Uniforms
where did all the style go
where was the time when you could just
out-fab your opponents
do you really think it’s a good idea to take military advice from the French
REBLOGGING BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING OMFG
Historically the “style” died in 1914 because the French would wear bright blue and red uniforms and the British said “that’s a bad idea” and the French said “we look great” then they got sniped.
oh god.
The pacer is a test in gym class/PE that brings a shiver of despair down the spine of any unfortunate soul who has gone through it before. And it’s usually done at least once a year.
Students line up on one side of the gym, eyeing nervously the painted line before the opposite wall that will decide their fate. The teacher hits play on the stereo and a cheery woman’s voice echoes through the gymnasium. fuck that woman’s happy demeanor. She explains the rules as the kids wait anxiously. Get to the other line before the beep plays. Simple enough, right?
“Ready? Begin!” she calls, and the gut wrenching ‘beep!’ plays after.
The kids awkwardly half jog to the other line, with about 3 or 4 seconds before the next beep. Each time the horrendous noise plays they run back and forth to the lines. “Level one, complete” she says, as to pat you on the back for what little victory you’ve achieved.
Not bad, the kids think. But then comes level 2. level 3. With each interval the time between the beeps shorten, and you’re running as fast as you can to the other line. Your foot hits it, you pivot, the beep plays, youre running again. Your lungs burn, your throat is sore, your heart is on the verge of an attack. No rest. No mercy.
A girl is the first to crawl over to the instructor, defeated. Seeing one has fallen, other students begin to follow since “at least theyre not the first ones out”. Clutching their chests they bail out of the test. One girls crying. You can’t tell if the boy on the gym floor is alive or not. Three kids left for the water fountain and still havent made it back.
And then, the fallen sit there, watching the myths, the legends, the kids who have made it past 100 laps. 120. 150. When they finally collapse a cheer erupts from the students. Theyre heroes.
But the excitement only lasts for so long as the next round of nervous kids line up, who opted to go in the second wave and prolong their torture. The womans voice kicks back up. The beep plays. The cycle continues.

hello there.
“don’t you get your languages mixed up?”
yeah all the time in fact in my latest Japanese essay I got 0% because I wrote the entire thing in Spanish and my parents are getting increasingly frustrated because I keep talking to them in German rather than British Sign Language
my friend is fluent in english, french, italian, portugese, german, dutch, russian and is learning spanish and latvian, and the other day he went into starbucks in england, ordered a latte in german, corrected himself in dutch and the poor barista looked at him in terror
I wrote the entire WRITTEN EXPRESSION part of my Spanish test in French, read over the whole exam like 3 times and didn’t notice
My teacher asked me a question in Latin (not randomly, that’s the class) and startled me and I looked up in terror because I missed the question and went “Dui bu qi, wo bu zhi dao”, and he just sort of stared at me because he wasn’t aware that I knew any Mandarin.
Lol “he was just doing his job”
So were nazi soldiers“Its the law”
It was once illegal for black people to readFuck out my face
i’ve always scoffed at those “oh my god europe is tiny”-posts but we just took the wrong exit driving back to our cabin and we literally ended up in norway and decided to just stay for dinner so yeah
this just happened AGAIN jesus fucking christ there isn’t even a sign that says welcome to fucking norway you’re just there all of a sudden
I could miss an exit and still stay in my state for another 8 hours.
Jesus Christ, I used to live in Montana and it took me eight hours to get to the GROCERY STORE in winter (still in Montana, less than halfway across the state), what the fuck even, Europe.
I dearly wish that people would view their bodies as they view flowers…

if you ever feel like you are stuck with whatever choices you make when you’re young, please remember that:
- van Gogh didn’t start painting until his 20′s
- Alan Rickman got his first movie role at age 46
- kentucky fried chicken was launched when colonel sanders was 65
- Charles Darwin was going to be a Preacher
- Mick Jagger studied accounting and finance.
- J. K Rowling was 32 when Harry Potter and the philosopher’s Stone was published
I needed this today
There’s a lot of young people who are going to be eligible to vote in America during this election so in light of the fact that this website is currently thrumming with political interest I’d just like to remind them that abstaining from voting is not useful or radical, it’s playing right into the hands of the people who want this country to progress backwards. I can guarantee you that there will be an ENORMOUS conservative turn out and if the younger generation doesn’t match it it will literally be a disaster
HELLO YES PLEASE.
Saw a post literally just now about how you don’t need to take voting cues from Tumblr. You don’t. Make your own decisions, do your own research, choose your own candidate. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, GET THE FRICK OUT THERE AND VOTE, EVEN IF YOU’RE VOTING AGAINST SOMEONE RATHER THAN FOR SOMEONE.
1. Hold your head high, and look others in the eye
2. Smile
3. Stop apologizing
4. Relax and be quick to laugh at yourself (but not at others!)
5. Dress in a way that indicates you have self worth
6. Use good manners (like saying please and thank you) as this is actually a mark of self respect
7. Expect other people to believe in you, and to see and appreciate your good qualities.
8. Before you know it, its no longer fake
wheRE WAS THIS ALL MY LIFE
It’s here now 😊
Hey there, social incompetent speaking: I have no inherent knowledge or understanding of social cues, so social situations have always been extremely difficult for me to manage, as I have to consciously plan my every move. I can confirm that falling back on my training as the daughter of a Southern gentleman (much as my dad might like to deny it) is my default when I don’t know people. Make cracks at your own expense, smile, keep posture like you’re stacking goddamn books on your head, and throw manners around like confetti. It works. The number of people who like me is vastly disproportionate to the number of people I like.
Please, PLEASE, I beg you. Do not listen to anything tumblr has to say regarding the upcoming election. I don’t care what side they are on.
Do your own research, formulate your own opinion, vote for who you think best represents your values and can best lead the country.
Do not let other people tell you who that is for you. Most of the time they are exaggerating and spreading false information.
READ THIS UNDERSTAND THIS
you can take info they spread but ALWAYS LOOK INTO IT. especially if you havent heard about it before.
That said, PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER VOTING, PLEASE. THIS IS KIND OF THE FUTURE OF YOUR COUNTRY AT HAND. THE FACT THAT YOU SHOULDN’T BLINDLY ACCEPT PEOPLE’S STATEMENTS ON HERE DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD LET IT DISCOURAGE YOU FROM VOTING.

natasha spent almost all the avengers movie trying to bring her bae home and you’re telling me i need to move on from that
a gay camp that parents send their children to in order to be “corrected” that is actually a disguised safe haven for LGBT youths
Please let this be a thing
Kids being asked their preferred name and pronouns as they get off the bus. Kids being housed with the gender they identify as. Kids swapping clothes so their outside can reflect their inside. Older kids getting gay/lesbian/trans-inclusive sex education. Cis girls teaching trans girls to do their makeup. Trans boys learning to bind safely. Counselors sharing positive coming-out stories around the campfire. Kids learning to include their pronouns when introducing themselves. Kids coming to camp scared and alone and leaving with the best support network anybody could possibly hope for.
This needs to exist.
Just sayin if you need a white bread Christian lookin homegirl to hand out pamphlets and greet bigoted parents at the bus stop with a bland smile and a misleading comment to lull them into a false sense of security I VOLUNTEER
^^^YO MY DAD IS A MINISTER I GIVE GREAT ‘BLAND COMMENT’ I WILL HELP YOU OUT COMRADE. SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.
Why are there not more Tonks/Remus/Sirius OT3 shippers? It is perfect.
Tonks and Sirius are related
Technically, they’re first cousins once removed (Tonks’ mother is Sirius’ cousin IIRC). There’s no reason they couldn’t have gotten together - both Harry and Remus considered it a possibility that Tonks loved Sirius romantically.
Furthermore…like…the Black family tree? More like the Black family knitting ball. Purebloods, man. Your options start to get limited after a while.

If a cat or dog is eating vegan meals, they’re doing it out of their own free will, just saying. Give a dog a piece of Tofu turkey and they eat it, i didn’t force them to eat it, so.
Give a dog anti freeze and they’ll eat it. Feed a dog rat poison and they’ll eat it. Give a dog grapes, nuts, chocolate, beer, etc. They’ll eat it. They don’t know that it’s dangerous for them. As their caretaker you are responsible for knowing better, not them. If you deprive your cats or dogs of meat, especially cats, you are actively killing your companion in the slowest way.

When I was twenty, and very stupid, I was utterly in love with my economics professor. It is one of the most unsexy subjects, but the way this man talked about numbers was obscene. It helped that he was fucking gorgeous, too. There was a boy in econ who always sat next to me and found excuses to talk. He’d share his notes if I daydreamed during class—and I did a lot of daydreaming about that professor. This boy was persistent, so I made a deal with him. If he could ask the professor a question which he answered incorrectly, I’d agree to one date.The boy thought about it for a while, and then he asked, ‘Will she go out with me tonight?’, pointing at me. And the professor said, very decisively, ‘No.’ So the boy, thinking himself clever, asked me where I’d like to have dinner, and I said I’d tell him later. After class, I asked the professor why he’d answered ‘no’ with such certainty. Do you know what he said? He said, ‘Because you’re having dinner with me.’ And that was the night I started dating my econ Professor, and my now boyfriend of 5 years.
IS THIS A FANFICTION?

Omg
one of my main nicknames courtesy of my family is “emmy” and my uncle was like “what if you marry a guy named anthony whose nickname is tony then you’d be emmy and tony”
and then “what if his last name was award”
and then my cousin put in “if you have a son you could name him oscar”
emmy, tony, and oscar award
oh my god
sell oscar to leonardo dicaprio
Do not sell ur children
What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?
My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually
Yeah this is actually pretty much exactly what is going on. It’s why anti-oxidants are such a big deal. Bonus fact: oxygen oxidizes stuff in your cells or, in other words, it’s not toxic, just setting you on fire
very very slowly.
What if there are aliens out there but they subsist on entirely different substances and they’re just scared as shit of us and our crazy ass hell planet? Once in a while some alien anthropologist type suggests checking out the people on this inhabited planet out towards the galaxy’s edge. The other aliens just look at the naive academic with horror. No!! We do not go to that world. That is where the DEATH BREATHERS live. They recreationally consume poisons and are more or less composed of biological fire. Their atmosphere is made of rocket fuel. We must leave the DEATH BREATHERS in peace. Do not go there. Do not.
I am so fucking inspired.

Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.
It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.
It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.
Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.
And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.
Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.
Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:
Thanks for reading.

You just solved a very real problem for me! Thanks!
