I wish they'd be music in things like trams and such.

You see how when you enter a pub or something of the like and they got their own music going and you get your headphones off and even if it's not the style you were listening to, you still find it enjoyable to listen to?

Well, I wish trams, those specifically because I use them daily, would do the same, and maybe you'll see less people with their headphones or earphones on.

Like, maybe have a more or less large set of styles allowed but you let the conductor choose the playlist.

So I used to volunteer at a collage radio station back in high-school (while being president of our broadcasting club I basically lived this stuff) and once you notice where the radio is and isn't anymore it really rewires your brain

Imagine if bus' and trains had a local radio station on? Like the driver picks the genre but otherwise just music available. How much more pleasant of an experience it could be overall? How many more artists could be elevated in your community, how connected you'd feel to the guy across the bus who also rolled his eyes at the same song played for the 3rd time this day.

Imagine instead of Spotify shoved down all our throats and paid for separately, we could have our radio station and the top 30 of the week and you knew the station so you could call and vote for your faves? Imagine how many new bands you'd know about and maybe go to their show bc they'd be local?

Where: Ira’s home who: the class of 2008 survivors - @illucides, @oh-the-hcrrcrs, @ungxards.

There existed a place that held solitude mixed with an allure for her, a place where secrets seemed to linger in the whispers of the wind. Or perhaps it was merely a meeting ground, chosen by some unspoken agreement. How long had it been since they last gathered? Years, it seemed, since their paths crossed, their conversations now distant echoes. Evelyn found herself taking a seat since arriving to Ira’s home .The other survivors would be coming soon. "Interesting how time moves forward and yet, takes you back."

When: Hookum House Party Where: Kitchen With: Open to all house party attendees

After getting his hands on a bottle of wine and the better half of a second one, Peter had finally sunk into the blissful state of alcohol induced relaxation. His shoulder's were slumped as he relaxed against the back of a sofa loudly singing along to the song playing with a damn good voice- completely free of his usual stutter.

"Heyyyyy, come and sit with me!" He called out, making grabby hands at a passerby, trying to get them onto the sofa with him, "I can talk now! Ask me annnnnnnything!" he sang the last word and laughed, taking another swing of wine straight from the bottle.

Saying this again because I see I have new moots

I love being reblogged. I love being asked questions. I love being annoyed by strangers and slowly becoming friends with them. Keep being awesome and stay fly!

Coffee? {Dirk & Fenrir}

When: Present Day [Game Time] Where: Dirk's Apartment With: Fenrir @redmoonrisings

It had been a long day and Dirk was looking forward to a quiet night in translating some Giant Runes for the Ministry and a late showing of ‘The Price is Right’ on is TV; much as he loved the world of magic, he loved the muggle world just as much- though, his Thursday night in was interrupted by a sharp rap on his door. Dirk frowned, not expecting a visitor to his flat, and headed to the entrance. Looking through the peep hole, he could make out through figure there and froze for a moment- and only a moment. 

He could alert the ministry, he could send a Patronus to old Order members, or he could follow his gut and see *the good* he knew was present in every living person.

Swallowing, Dirk unlatched and opened the door to the large frame of Fenrir Greyback. 

“Good evening, Mr. Greyback,” Dirk said politely, smiling up at the man, “Can I get you a cup to tea? I was just about to brew some silver needle.” And stepping back, he invited the werewolf into his apartment.

@mcnstercus (Alex) God, how was she supposed to face her best friend? She had left him, something she had never done before. He needed her and she knew that and she had just... given up. But once he heard she was back, he invited her over. He hadn't said anything about being upset with her, but that didn't mean he wasn't. So she arrived at her old house that she had given to him and Mariza, pausing before finally knocking on the door.

@lunterfans Continuing this conversation here because the other post was getting kind of long.

I seriously cant get over how they thought it was a good idea for the kids to waste their time asking for help against a literal god-being that moved THE FUCKING MOON out of the way just by pointing at it and moving their finger to the right... and splatted Belos against the wall with little effort. Like??? It is legitimately crazy to me. Who thought this was a good idea.

The school shit exists specifically for Huntlow... its absolutely insane. By the way I have no fucking idea why they would even bother forcing these two together. Both of them could have remained single. Their romance makes no sense because in every "Huntlow" episode it's just Hunter showing interest in Willow and never the other way around. Its literally not until FTF that she shows interest in him and even then she doesnt confess to him. Which begs the question of why they didnt just make them a couple at the beginning of TTT during the montage. And dedicate all of Luz's scenes in TTT to Willow. I DO NOT fucking get what was going on in their heads while writing season 3.

But yeah... homewrecker Hunter is so real... not even taking away Hunter's blush in Hunting Palismen can deter his homewrecking ways.

Like one joke me and a friend have is that he doesn't ask Willow out in TTT or FTF is because he can't get over Luz.

But yeah, this little man has no chill in Eclipse Lake. The moment he hears Amity is dating Luz he tries to ruin Amity's whole career. It'll never NOT get a laugh out of me everytime i watch this episode.

Where: Park Who: Wes & Winnie @thirtecnth

He had been working outside in the commune garden and snuck in a few flowers to take to the park. Would he get in trouble for that, probably. It was for a good reason! He was meeting up with Winnie, and since the event at the ballroom, her safety mattered to him. He wanted to do something nice, and why not give her flowers? as he approached the designated area where he asked her to meet him. He jogged over carrying the flowers behind his back. "Winnie!" he stated with a small smile, and boy when she looked at him. He swooned so badly that he almost missed a step. "Hi. you look---" he felt his throat dry, trying to find the words. "lovely."

Mexican restaurants make margaritas soooo strong and bless them for it but also curse them for it but mostly bless

How do you think Steve and/or Peggy would deal with some possible pigeon messengers during the war? For Steve, I imagine he runs hotter than normal people so the pigeons LOVE chilling with him! A couple pigeons catching some z’s on his shoulders one evening, and the howlies won’t let him live it down

I can honestly say I have never thought about this before now, but I am on board with the idea that homing pigeons love Steve, adding to his overall Disney Princess aura. 😂

I think it would be very funny if this is also how we discover that Peggy Carter has one (1) irrational, instinctual fear, and it is birds. She tolerates pigeons, out of necessity, but finds them deeply unsettling.

In Googling to learn more about homing pigeons in WWII, I have learned that 32 pigeons were decorated for gallantry under fire. I'm very excited to introduce this fact into a totally unrelated conversation soon.

Thanks for the ask! ❤️🤖

Location: Bar Characters: Ethan & Leon - @fatebinds

Drinking, is a familiar feeling, something that takes hold of him, along with smoking or other drugs. Numbs the pain, for the time being, he was a few drinks in. He could hold his own, even when sharing a drink with another. ""Don' tell me yer already callin' it quits?"

Just a Small One || {Open!}

Another day, another knut.

Most would be put off by the drudgery of clerical work but for Peter it was bliss, he left the Ministry with his head down, his shoulder's hunched and was about as close to relaxed as he could get. Turned out he had an eye for detail and was pretty good at his job, already taking on extra responsibilities that made him late sometimes.

Considering he was off tomorrow, maybe he could brave a pub trip... Just a small one, in the corner, with a butterbeer... Everyone kept telling him to get out more. With a quiet sigh, he turned on heel and made his way to The Green Dragon. Given the after work rush, the place was pretty full but he got his butterbeer, an empty booth in the corner and he did have his crossword puzzle book. So far, not so bad.

Of course, such things weren't to look and soon enough a shadow blocked out the light over his book. "O-oh... Umm, hello." he said quietly, a tinge of guilt to his voice as though it were so bad to be caught relaxing by himself.

This is so weird but I keep singing I'm just Ken and now the temptation to buy a Kenergy shirt is real. I need to stop with these impulse buys. I already have two Beyonce shirts on the way. But at the same time, what have been some of your favorite things recently? | @hillsfmsstarter

This post wasnt anything to do with gender or sex, it was about mental health, so Im not commenting directly on it.

But see...this is why its so important to say "woman". You really dont see anything wrong with saying "men and AFAB"? We dont even get an identity anymore, we dont even get to exist anymore. It is dehumanizing. "Men and other." "Men and not men." "Men and the second sex." "Men and not people." At least be consistent and say "AMAB and AFAB". But this person didnt, and even if it wasnt intentionally malicious, which I dont think it was, the fact that they subconsciously said that shows the mentality, the psyche behind it, sort of like a Freudian slip. Words matter. It programs your brain. Its not meaningless or an accident that they still said man instead of AMAB, but not woman. Men still get to be men, they are still seen as men. Erasing women will make it easier to dehumanize us. Make us sound more like an animal or subspecies than half the human population.

The OP probably didnt even notice that they were doing that, because it'll become normal to you. This is dangerous. This is erasing women more and more, and we're already on the fringes of social caring as it is, and studies have shown that misogyny and violence against women is actually increasing, not decreasing.

If theres no women, theres no womens issues. Theres no vocabulary to address it. Then all the femicide, misogynistic cultural and religious practices, domestic violence/relationship abuse, sex trafficking and prostitution, issues in porn, medical misogyny, child marriage, etc etc etc have no common theme. The blatent, critical trend of the victims sexes and the perps sexes are erased and ignored.

We are already silenced and gaslit all the time, told that its "just as bad for men/goes both ways" although anyone studied in crime or history knows thats is objectively, outrageously untrue. Told to shut up. That we're liars. Having the narrative twisted around and saying that men are actually the oppressed victims, that everything is the opposite, that women have it easier in life and victimize men. How much easier will it be for them to do this if the staggeringly disproportionate rates of crime are ignored, sex is erased from the equation? To claim that actually vicimization and perpetration are on equal rates because "we're all just people". We already see statistical rates of female violence being superficially inflated by males who are being counted as female, giving an inaccurate depiction. This will affect peoples views, beliefs, laws and policies, and scientific teachings and understandings.

Erasing women as a word and social group is dangerous, and it is intentional. Misogynists are thrilled. If women dont exist as a group, feminists cannot organize, people cannot talk about women specific issues. Female oppressors want to make it difficult as possible. Invalidate, confuse, deflect and distract the conversation and impede womens rights progress as much as possible. This is just a new tool theyve discovered. This is the new "All men are created equal"- claiming that women are included in "men" yet then denying them (and non-white people) rights in the same breath.
