Me, at a dinner date: So are you an Oscar Wilde “Fling yourself on a divan and wail as a way to cope” type of person or are you a Lord Byron “Set up a boxing match with your servants as a way to cope” type of person?

I’d say I’m a Wordsworth “Run away from all towns and people and get lost up a hill” type of person.

THIS CROW  UNDERSTANDS WATER DISPLACEMENT. WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO BE TOLD EVERY YEAR BY A TEACHER HOW WATER DISPLACEMENT WORKS. DO THEY THINK I’M LESS INTELLIGENT THAN A  CROW? I’M DONE.

Crows discovered the principle of displacement in the third century BC, when the philosopher Awkimedes, upon noticing the level of his bird bath rose in proportion with the amount of his body that was submerged, reportedly exclaimed “EURECAW!” and flew through the streets of Athens shouting his discovery.

EURECAW

yknow the more jk rowlings world falls apart in america (race relations, international history, population, etc) the more i like to think that america just straight up doesnt have the statute of secrecy. european countries are falling over themselves hiding magic but come to georgia and theres a drunk redneck wizard wingardium leviosa-ing the shit out of a tractor to the delight of his drunk redneck muggle buddies in a walmart parking lot.

wizard on muggle violence is prevented by virtue of there being like a 50/50 chance that muggle is packing heat. muggle on wizard violence is prevented by knowing that wizard can give you boils spelling LIL BITCH on your forehead if you try to start something.

america is the weird redheaded stepchild of the magic world.

im not gonna stop reblogging this until this is the next Hot Fanon

english muggles come back to england and suspicious wizards meet them at the airport. 

‘did you witness any strange or inexplicable acts while you were in america?’ they demand. 

the english muggles just laugh in their dumb fucking faces. mate, it’s america. 

what’s the difference between a werewolf and an animagus?

heres a radical idea, teenagers still deserve a fucking livable wage when they’re doing the same goddamn job an adult is. this idea that “teenagers first jobs” should be paid down and less meaningful is 

1) completely fucking fabricated and 

2) completely fucking ignores the fact that many teenagers NEED INCOME TO SURVIVE they’re living on their own, they’re going to college, they’re helping support their families

AND REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THAT… They’re still doing the same fucking work as an adult, they’re still putting their time and effort into a service our society requires at the moment to function you worthless fucking assholes disagreeing with me on this. 

they deserve livable wages shut the fuck up and get the fuck away from me with this bullshit. 

literally fuck yourselves. 

“Student minimum wage” is also bullshit because it allows a place to hire a ton of kids under 18 and not have to pay them properly on top of not having to give any form of benefits and let’s face it so they can ignore current employee standards because kids don’t know their rights as well.

Student minimum wage in the UK is:
-18-20y/os : £5.30/hr
-21+ : £6.70/hr

National minimum wage (or living wage??? Im unsure. There’s a lot of obfuscation) is
– £4.05/hr for under 18s
– £5.60/hr for 18-20y/os
– £7.05/hr for 21-24y/os
– £7.50/hr for 25+

So not only are they saying that it would be better off if you weren’t a student (which is bs cause how tf does being a student impact anything at all except the fact that I probably work less hours), they’re also saying fuck you to anyone under 25, because somehow our worth is different even though we’re doing the same minimum wage jobs?

AND IF YOU’RE AN APPRENTICE, then you’re worth even less apparently (£3.50/hr if you’re under 19) cause even though you’re actively learning something important and probably doing just as much work as someone fully employed, you should be grateful that you even have a job, right???

If I had been on the 18-20 wage last year I wouldn’t have been able to live. Luckily my place pays me more than the 21-24 minimum wage but still. It’s fucked up.

Tumblr is now owned by a phone company, so it’s stopped fighting for Network Neutrality

Yahoo’s sale to Verizon means that Yahoo’s sub-companies – Flickr, Tumblr and a host of others – are now divisions of a phone company, and as you might expect, being on the payroll of a notorious neutracidal maniac with a long history of sleazy, invasive, privacy-destroying, monopolistic, deceptive, anti-competitive, scumbag shakedowns has changed the public positions these companies are allowed to take.

This matters a lot. The previous fights for net neutrality were won in part with the support of scrappy online companies like Tumblr, whose CEO, staff and users worked together to send a strong message to Congress and the FCC about the importance of a neutral internet, free from ISPs who slow down your connections to services unless they pay bribes for “premium” carriage.

With Trump’s FCC set to slay Net Neutality, the internet is once again planning a day of coordinated action: on July 12, sites across the net will send their users to the FCC and Congress to demand that ISPs be held to a public service standard befitting the trillions of dollars in public subsidies they receive every year in the form of access to rights of way through our cities and between them.

However, Tumblr is not among the companies presently slated to participate, and sources within the company told The Verge that the company and its CEO, David Karp (once a staunch Net Neutrality campaigner) have been given orders to sit this one out.

Ahhhh that explains the whole reason why ATT email addresses won’t be allowed to login to Tumblr anymore starting June 30th. (NOT. A. HOAX.)

This btw – is why if you have fic on this site, you should probably work on copying it over to Ao3 now. Because the nature of Tumblr is likely to change with the new ownership… remember strikethru and prepare.

Heyyy everyone
Have you been backing up the stuff you have only posted on tumblr? Because you should
Gentle reminder Tumblr does not count as backup

This. Start backing your shit up. Having lived through a few seismic internet shakeups, I can tell you right now, these tremors feel awfully fucking familiar. Just… bigger.

(Not just your content. Figure out a way to keep in touch with the people you want to keep talking to if all your social media hangouts fall into the ocean. Protip: IRC is the indestructible cockroach of online chat platforms and will probably outlive all of us.)
