laughed out loud

Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, the youngest MP in Aotearoa, starts a haka to protest the first vote on a bill reinterpreting the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi

Goes insanely hard

To provide further context from what I understand the bill wanted to take the rights guaranteed to the Maori in said treaty and expand them to all New Zealand citizens. The issue with that is that it sort of defeats the point of the protections of the treaty.

THATS MY GIRLFRIEND’S SHOW @rachierae125

It is! I was the stage manager for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. And I adopted a little boy from the show as well (he’s not in this video, he was in the beginning of the show)

His name is LOGAN and he is a GENTLEMAN

my little baby kitten (12 years old) is in this video! She’s one of the black and white cats that jumps out of the bucket towards the end. Her name is Precious but we call her Chicken and she is living such a spoiled rotten retired life with her two annoying younger brothers and mamas.

Also above is my wifeeeeee and even though this show isn’t running anymore at Busch Gardens, it’s basically the reason my wife and I started dating so it means so much to me.

Logey passed unfortunately but he had the best life with us.

Not to be That Pedantic Ranger but the only places in the NPS that are *verifiably* haunted are the 1970s government housing trailers

So most national parks bring in rangers on a seasonal basis--- we're hired in late spring and fired in the fall. These rangers need places to live while we're working these 4-5 month stints, so parks typically provide some kind of housing. At best, these are bleak modular builds or dormitories that you share with other rangers. You bring a strand of Christmas lights and a house plant and just make the best of it.

At their worst, they are mid-century nightmares that are actively trying to kill you. They should have been condemned in the '90s, but there's no money to replace them because most maintenance funds are only earmarked for infrastructure used by the public. Every unit I've ever lived in comes with a warning about lead and arsenic in the pipes, and there's always a cursory checkbox like, "I have been told my water is poisoned" that you sort of wearily tick off. Some have basements that you're not allowed to go in because there's no secondary escape. In Glacier my neighbor found a straight-up dead raven on her hot water heater. This past summer another colleague found a hand-drawn pentagram in his basement with a single, unopened can of Coors Lite in the middle. Food burns because your oven temperature is no longer calibrated. Linoleum sheds when you vacuum it. Most of them list or slope in strange ways, and there are always closets that you just know not to open (see my previous hashtag about the hole in the sub-floor). They always have pest problems. This summer I was dozing on my couch and a mouse ran *over my forehead.* Sometimes you hear cracker shots from law enforcement as they try to haze the bears away.

But you put up with it all, because ultimately you love your job and it's all kind of part of it, you know? Crappy housing has been part of park ranger life since its inception. You're part of a legacy. Hundreds of other rangers have spilled grease on that carpet inexplicably installed in your kitchen. Their spirits linger in those liminal spaces behind the refrigerator, quietly whispering, "don't turn on the oven vent--it has pine martens."

The great-great-great grandchildren of Dickens take a selfie with him on his 202nd birthday.

this is a very important thing that everyone needs to see.

all I could hear was growling, so I stood up to take a look

need what hugh grant and his wife have

Tired of your baby girl being seen as a genderless imp? Afraid strangers might not recognize your sexless proto-human as the soft femme heartbreaker she is? Well now you can glue some shit on her head! That’s right, just glue some gender conformity right onto her unclosed fontanelle! Say goodbye to awkwardly explaining that no, despite her bald head, your androgynous poop machine is actually a demure coquette! Glue your fucking baby today!

Vital bit of context here is that my older sister (green) literally has a baby

The commitment to the bit! The t-shirt that names the over-the-counter pain killer this man will have to take after this Oscar-winning performance!

Ok, I adore the Frogs to begin with, but the sheer finesse and dedication of this one boggles my mind.

me: this is cute and precious

my brain: 45 years ago this person could've made a public access television show that ran for half a decade on the strength of this concept with the right framing device and it would've been paid for with federal arts grants and maybe even national syndication rights. now they're begging for a single minute of engagement on tiktok in the hopes that maybe someday the abstract metrics of digital media platforms will translate into a tangible career

me: yeah me: cute frog though

my brain: it is a cute frog

thinking two characters have had sex does not equal shipping at all… i dont have to like it i just know it happened

im sorry but this is the funniest fucking tag i could have seen

this shit is the only remaining good part of twitter

My brother had lost the right to mock my deeply unwise vending machine purchase because he's spending his weekend driving to Iowa to buy a 1954 Cadillac limousine.

He doesn't have an explanation for this other than the fact that it's cool. And honestly, that's a pretty compelling argument

Oh good, he's named it.

He got her and she's gargantuan

THE BIG is home!!
