i guess the real question is how can you not like tesla
he thought women would eventually rule the world because we’re the dominant sex
he liked pigeons
he was a vegetarian
he was a babe
he was shy
he hated edison
he’s perfect
Yup, as long as you’re ok with that time he went bonkers and tried to build a death ray.
Are you serious the death ray was the best part
I’ll just leave this here
Read that. Read that now.

Can I get a citation on this?
I would like a citation on this because this seems like the kind of sh*t tumblr makes up to go “omg white people are trash all their faves are trash smh”
His false teeth were made of ivory, you f–king idiots.
I’d also like to point out Washington inherited his slaves, gained others by marriage, came to OPPOSE slavery but legally could not free his slaves under penalty of law in Virginia and so treated them well, and ordered them freed and paid them a sum and had them taught skills to start a new life with in his will.

Learn your dang history.
As was popular in that era, dentures were made of ivory as well as other people’s teeth. Although teeth were harvested (gruesome word to use here) from dead people, it was not uncommon for poor people and slaves to seek monetary compensation for giving up their teeth (see: Les Miserables). George Washington had several sets of dentures. Indeed one set contained teeth from his slaves, but he paid them money for their teeth. In fact, Washington paid his slaves money for doing extra work outside their expected duties which would sometimes allow them to purchase their freedom. History is fun to cite to gain understanding of the world we live in, but only when done correctly. In failing to point out the monetary compensation part of teeth pulling, the OP makes it sound like Washington forcibly took the teeth of his slaves. Editorial history is dangerous.

So Disney, since you’re gonna make Frozen 2… I just wanna remind you of a few things.
Same-sex marriage is now legal.
Almost everyone thinks Elsa is gay and wants her love interest to be female.
IDINA MENZEL WANTS THIS TOO!
You’re a company who has been actively supportive of the LGBTQ community for years, so NO BACKING DOWN NOW!
*chanting* LESBIAN DISNEY PRINCESS LESBIAN DISNEY PRINCESS
LESBIAN DISNEY QUEEN
LESBIAN DISNEY QUEEN
If Elsa isn’t a lesbian I’m filing a fucking lawsuit
Interestingly, if you look at the lesbian couples who’ve been showing up in children’s cartoons lately, they always seem to be colour-coded red and blue. Korra and Asami, Ruby and Sapphire - take your pick, really.
And, you know, Elsa’s fashion sense strongly favours blue.
All I’m saying is, if the promotional material for Frozen 2 ends up featuring a girl who dresses predominantly in red (fire powers optional), keep your eye on her.

What I understand about Mad Max: Fury Road from tumblr (i havent seen it yet sadly)
-Max is Dad who is either angry or confused and is tired of people taking his things
-Furiosa is basically badass female jesus to the wives. Also much cool.
-The wives are also badass and are adorable
-Grandmas can be badasses too
-Nux is sinnamon roll who becomes cinnamon roll
-Slit is lizard
-Immortan Joe is satan
-Morsov is mediocre
-Coma isn’t here for war, he’s here for the gig
You hit the nail on the head
