"how am i supposed to learn from my mistakes?"

well you seem to be learning a lot right now aren't you?

The least realistic thing about the Lord of the Rings is that a team got together for a group project, decided everything in one meeting, and their plan worked.

The group abandoned the original plan halfway up Caradhras, split up several times, some group members started looking into different projects, found new partners and ended up doing something else, the original plan was abandoned early on, and the project was salvaged at the last moment by the one group member that didn’t get sidetracked. Sounds like a pretty astute description of teamwork to me

One of them also died.

i have to defend fictional women who aren't good people because if i don't who else will

the two flavours of this feeling are "i think she is flawed and going through it and figuring her shit out and that's a very human quality that i appreciate seeing in a female character" and "i think it's good she killed and ate those people and i think it's really hot that she didn't feel bad about it because confidence is attractive"

recently we were out on a hilltop taking photos of the comet and suddenly some car's headlights blind us from across the bay. literally four miles away.

who the fuck is out here with these nuclear fusion powered headlights. who puts naval searchlights on their fucking toyota tacoma.

This is one of the funniest things I've found on tumblr and I've seen some shit

psychiatrists in 2030 when you mention an intrusive thought

My man was really gonna let a fucking BEAR into his house for the views and the BEAR had to be the sensible one here

The bear said “You live like this?”

This always takes me the fuck out because so far as I can tell that's LITERALLY what's happening. That bear is looking around pretty apprehensive, it looks like she's sizing up the likelihood of finding something good in there (food, shelter, whatever) vs the odds of getting hurt...and coming to the conclusion that it's not worth it. That human is just acting too weird.

The bear is, LITERALLY, exhibiting more common sense and wildlife encounter good practice than the cameraperson.

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

While you are at it, please share @zinaanqar ‘s campaign (link here)

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.
