northern territory lowered the age of criminal responsibility to 10 fucking years old 🙃

this is after *having* raised it to 12 (still ridiculous), they've decided to lower it again. nothing NT cops love doing more than throwing aboriginal kids in prison

most infuriating comment I've seen on the internet was on some video I forgot what it was about but I think it was talking about petra in jordan or something and the commenter was like "this is why we need to take those artifacts to our museums where they can be appreciated because otherwise they will be destroyed by the wars there" and literally the blood boiled up to my head I honestly threw my phone away and had to go do something else for a bit. this was years ago. it is absolutely insane to me that there are people who exist out there who truly think this way and have no shame in it. they like our things and our culture but value their ability to "appreciate" them more than the peoples who made them and preserve them.

the oldest city in the world is in iraq and there were artifacts there that stood the test in time until fucking usa started a war there. reminds me of lebanon recently when israel bombed baalbek which is famous for old ruins dating back to phoenician and roman times.

westerners destroy our lands and steal our history and make up rules of "civility" based on what works for them then call us savages for "not maintaining our culture" or sometimes "not having" one but they somehow always want our things, completely ignoring the human factor and counting our lives as meaningless or disposable. fucking colonizers.

i like perusing fragrantica (perfume information website) as a pastime, but the number of people??? who wear perfume??? to bed?? wild

also have seen MULTIPLE variations of "good hiking perfume"/"good going to the gym perfume"?????

WHAT are other people's discretionary funds for fragrance looking like??? that you would have a "hiking" perfume?????

How much of this shit do I have to learn from tumblr dot com what do you MEAN Love Händel is just??? Coming back?

🔁wannahavefunfunfun👩‍🎤follow

Op casually leaving out that the entire thing has been organized by Lindana’s children

HUH?

🔁rightintomyheart💗🎼follow

Just to clarify you mean like. THE Lindana. As in the pop star from the 80s.

I do! Bobbi (who has been running a hair salon since the band’s breakup) updated the website saying he’ll be out for a reunion concert. And that he was convinced after speaking with two kids—Phineas and Ferb Flynn-Fletcher, who want them to come back to perform at their mother, Linda’s anniversary.

Ohhh so nepotism 🙄

🔁Danny 🎸✌️follow

No, not nepotism. You guys don’t get to hate on these kids, they’re super cool. They came into my shop & asked me to perform for their parents. They made no mention of their mom being Lindana. We’re literally prepping for the concert right now and I just learned this from tumblr. Had to fact check it with Bobbi. Point is, at no point did they try to leverage their mom’s fame. They genuinely just wanted to do something sweet for their parents. I doubt they even thought to try and use their mother’s status. They simply explained how passionate their parents were about the band.

DANNY?

Ok so tonight we have learned:

Love Handel is coming back

Lindana’s children asked them to come back

Lindana’s kids apparently don’t even realize the implications of their mom having previously been famous

A really funny tumblr thing is people using "as someone with a special interest in x" as their like source of legitimacy on something.

it's being used as shorthand for "as someone who has done a lot of research on the topic" but it's funny because ppl have such a hard time realising they're capable of being wrong about their special interests and they're not just magically more able to aquire correct information than everyone else.

your special interest is great but let's see some Primary sources!

if i had to explain what tumblr is like i’d only show this
