It's a rare beautiful instance when tall girls find other tall girls.

[hanhansolo]

This is the most awkward thing that can happen to us lol

[hanhansolo]

When you’re 6ft tall but just want to be like the other girls :/

It’s hard being a tall girl when you look at small girls and know no matter how much you diet and/or work out that it’s physically impossible to be dainty and small like them, to have that tiny waist, cuz your bones are twice their size. And you watch guys drape their arms around the low shoulders of their girlfriends, and you know you’d need to find an even bigger giant than you to have that.. It just makes me sad. It’s so hard to feel “feminine” when feminine is considered small and dainty, and you’re built the way you are.

History books always seem to leave this out.

Governor of Michigan Poisons Water Supply And Over 9,000 Children To Cut Costs 

Residents of Flint, Michigan, have been poisoned by the incompetence of the state government.

Thousands of children, about 9,000 to be more precise, in the city have been exposed to toxic levels of lead from corrosive drinking water flowing through aging pipes. Levels of the heavy metal measured in city drinking water at the height of the crisis rose above the threshold for “hazardous waste.” Months later, lead levels remain dangerously high.

Both the state and federal government have now declared a state of emergency for the city.

Much of the damage, however, isn’t fixable. Lead poisoning is known to impair cognitive function, shorten attention spans and spur antisocial behavior. The World Health Organization says the “neurological and behavioral effects of lead are believed to be irreversible.”

Flint residents and civil rights advocates have linked the government’s slow response to the crisis to environmental racism, a term that refers to the proven correlationbetween the racial, ethnic and class backgrounds of an area’s residents and proximity to hazardous waste. Flint is a majority-black city where more than 40% of residents live below the poverty line.

The city of Flint used to rely on Detroit’s water authority — one of the nation’s largest — for its drinking water. But as a way to save money, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder decided it would be cheaper to  pull water out of the Flint River in April 2014, which is tainted by farm runoff, sewage and decades of industrial effluent. The lead is coming from the aging and rusted pipelines the water is running through. 

I know what you’re thinking: Hold up. The water quality wasn’t good enough for industrial purposes, but people were still drinking it? And no one was advocating a switch back to Detroit water?

Not exactly!! In fact, city council members in Flint appealed to the emergency manager to switch back to Detroit water way back in January 2015. Detroit even offered to waive re-connection fees. The request was denied; it would cost too much.

So then when will Flint’s water be safe to drink again?

Nobody knows.

I’m reading up on chocolate frog cards in the Harry Potter universe, for reasons, and-

“Came up with the ever changing floor plan.” 

Really, Ravenclaw? Really?

“You know what this school needs? To not make any sense-”

“Rowena, I don’t think-”

“Exactly, you don’t think. I’m brilliant and this is perfect. Moving staircases, walls that think they’re doors-”

“But how will the students get to class?”

“They’ll have to figure it out.”

“…”

“Everyday. They will figure it out everyday. My students will live in a tower and navigate these stairs every time.”

“The stairs move! This doesn’t seem safe…I think I’ll put my common room in the basement, Rowena.”

“Ditto. I think the dungeons would be safer…”

“…My kids will brave these stairs. I’ll take the other tower.”
