Now that we’re halfway through May, I feel like it’s the right time to ask: WHAT Pride parade are all of you whiners going to that everyone has their dick out and is doing pet play on the main road and impressionable children are being harmed and the fabric of society is being rent?

I need NAMES and ADDRESSES and TIMES of these parades so that I can get railed by two guys wearing harnesses in front of a Pinkberry and an unattended middle schooler. I’m an American, aren’t I?

i love how out of the three locked tomb books the most reliable narrator is nona because she can read what everyone actually means from their body language and states her thoughts plainly. the only thing is she has no fucking clue what’s going on

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

I think it's fucking ridiculous that when Cataclysm Classic comes out it's supplanting Classic WotLK, rather than being a separate version

Like the whole appeal for me of playing Classic WoW is to be able to experience the pre-Cataclysm world, and it's like they're taking that away again!!

And like yeah I know there's still a version that's JUST Classic but I'd really like to be able to progress more than that, plus it's a whole separate install... But it's also like, if that's something they're already doing I don't see any reason they couldn't implement Cataclysm as its own install as well! Annoying to dedicate that much disk space to WoW, sure, but it'd let people have the experience they want, which I thought was kinda the whole point of this

Quran Manuscript

Copied by Mahmud Sha'ban

India, Gwalior, 11 July 1399

This signed and dated copy of the Quran produced in northern India near the end of the fourteenth century is a rare survivor: even though Muslims had long been settled in the region, very few manuscripts from that time and place have come down to the present time. The "Gwalior Quran," named for its place of origin, demonstrates the inventiveness of Indian scribes, whose bihari script creatively reworks the lettering typically used to copy the Quran.
