collecting instances of british colonialists confidently stating "all well" shortly before the complete and total demise of the entire party. so far it's just the franklin expedition victory point note and the kabul embassy's telegram to peshawar during the second anglo-afghan war. which is not that many, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

That has to be the most humiliating way to describe one of Earth's most terrifyingly effective predators.

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.
