French Sirius Black this, French Sirius Black that. What about a posh pureblood British Sirius Black who has been reluctantly homeschooled into learning French and uses it to speak to an equally posh pureblood British James Potter who has been reluctantly homeschooled into learning it as well, just to scheme their private pranks while the whole Hogwarts thinks they are waxing poetry.

been rewatching s1 of leverage and it really hammers home how down bad hardison has been from the start. and it's not even the stupid flirting and telling parker she looks good in the bridesmaid dress.

when the team first gets together they don't really get parker. eliot calls her crazy about twice per episode, sophie clearly feels bad for her, and nate barely cares for anyone at this point. hardison, by contrast, always engages with her, answers her questions, listens to her concerns about the orphanages in the stork job, explains to her that they're a little more than a team, cheekily adresses her, while in character for the juror #6 job, just to make her smile. yes we all remember how parker stabbed the guy from the stork job with a fork, but also remember that, just moments before, while talking stone-faced to this guy she clearly loathes hardison managed to make her laugh with only a stupid vampire joke mocking the mark's accent. she thinks he's funny! they're in love your honour!!

It’s all fun and games until the film producer who murdered you in a past life shows up at your awards party and ruins your giant group dance number

wrote a thesis today 👍

[aahanna]

"Haven't you noticed that we often bargain with poor people, like street vendors and auto drivers, but rarely negotiate prices with wealthy individuals or businesses that make significant profits every year? It's time to change this system and reconsider our approach to bargaining and fair pricing."

for context, Double Negative (aka DNEG) is one of the biggest VFX vendors in the world, if you've seen any blockbuster in the past 10 years, you've seen work made at DNEG

PSA!!!!!

This is for the people who didn't know they were gay or bi or pan or ace or aro in their childhood.

This is for the people who had crushes which could be deemed straight and then came out as gay later in their lives.

This is for the trans or genderqueer or fluid or nonbinary people who did not experience dysphoria in their agab.

This one is for the people who don't want to take T or E or have gender-affirming surgery but are still trans.

This one is for the sex-positive or sex-neutral aces who are told that they aren't ace because they aren't disgusted by sex.

This one is for anyone who has been told, "You just need to find the right girl/guy!"

This one is for all the queer people who have been told that they cannot be queer because of their religion, race, ethnicity, etc.

This one is for all the queer people who were told that they weren't queer just because they didn't fit into somebody else's idea of what being queer is like.

Nobody can tell you how to be queer. The only one who gets to decide that is YOU. Queer people do not need to bend themselves over backwards to make others comfortable.

We have always been here and we will continue to be here, and everyone else will just have to learn to accept that.

Hindu girls: remember that our ancestors didn't do purdah. our goddesses don't do purdah. Does Saraswati cover her hair? Does Lakshmi cover every inch of her body? No. So why should you? Seeing the female body as something sexual to be covered up is the mindset of our colonizers, and they've sadly colonized a lot of our minds. Decolonize!

someone wore this to the cricket world cup final in india. the channels broadcasting turned away the cameras and played ads.

he walked in front of millions AND the prime minister of India.

through this person's incredible bravery, Indians who stand with Palestine, Indians who have to spend their days under a fascist regime, have a representation that does them justice.

our voices of dissent have been crushed through harrowing persecution.

in 1981, India issued a postage stamp with the Indian and Palestinian flags flying side by side, and the words "Solidarity with the Palestinian people." India was the first non-arab country to recognize the state of Palestine.

the country i have lived in for 18 years is a dignified member of the post-colonial world. its citizens have moral backbones. they are often murdered or imprisoned for having it.

Ok BCs I am tired of all this shit

Like LITERALLY

CAN NEWS CHANNELS LIKE NOT SHOW ABOUT POLITICS AND JUST FOCUS ON OTHER TOPICS FOR ONCE!?

NO BECAUSE ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE EXISTS MORE THAN POLITICS.

A 6 year old Hindu girl, was BRUTALLY r@ped and murdered in Kashmir! WHAT WAS THE GIRL'S FAULT? WHAT DID SHE DO?

Terrorists have attacked on the Kashmiri Hindus and news channels be like: aw man fvck that shıt we gotta show politics, that is bűllshıt

I mean, YOU CAN FOCUS ON THE MORE IMPORTANT AND CRUEL INCIDENTS IN THE COUNTRY, AM I RIGHT?

Ok i understand that without politics, the government won't work BUT CAN YOU NOT SHOW ONLY THAT SHĪT? BECAUSE I AM SICK OF THIS

Yea I also know that the NEET results came out, and what happened with the students so that is important too but CAN YOU ALSO SHOW/TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE KASHMIRI HINDUS?

NO I AM NOT RANTING BECAUSE THEY ARE HINDUS OR KASHMIRIS, I AM RANTING BECAUSE THEY. ARE. ALSO. HUMANS.

WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND THE TEMPLES? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? WHY, WHAT WAS THEIR FAULT?

Show them incidents, dear Indian news channels, don't be shy, because I do think that you are being incompetent about it :)

MORE THAN 16 FUCKING PEOPLE DIED! A CRPF soldier was killied in the Kathua attack on 11th June, more than 10 People were killed on 9th June in the Reasi attack, and 5 soldiers along with SPO are fucking injured. So i would like you news channels TO NOT SHOW POLITICS ANYMORE AND TO SHOW THESE EVENTS AS WELL, DAMNIT!

Ok I am sorry about my rant and all this but i am just pouring out my feelings about it. Ik i am just 13 but still, I think this is very very VERY wrong

it's always "wyd" and never "let's go to a bookstore and I'll buy you books"

[scltbvrns]

right winged indians are so (i don't want to utter that word) when it comes to media literacy but all of them literally grew up in godi media so i cannot blame them either. like no one is saying INDI alliance is good. it's just the lesser evil out of the two.

Monty: My second is conveyed to my first by the company of family. My whole is a product of spring.

Effie: A product of spring? Surely a flower of some kind.

Regulus: Lilies. Forget-me-not! LILACS!

James: *flinches*

Sirius: Ohh, shh.

Monty: No.
