#piping hot tea

[othmeralia]

January 12th is National Hot Tea Day.

These two letters, both from Eleanor Roosevelt, are all about tea! The letter on the left was sent to Edwin M. Ross by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt accepting Mr. Ross' offer to analyze and duplicate London city water so it could be used to serve tea to the King and Queen of England.

The letter on the right was sent to Betz Laboratories on June 9, 1939, after the English monarchs had visited the White House, as a thank you for fabricating water identical to that found in London.

Take a closer look at the letters in our digital collection: click here and here!

whew i was going through it last year. i wasn’t using tumblr much but i had no outlet to vent my frustrations, but i kept it in my drafts.

this was the beginning of my villain era, i’m the evil daughter-in-law that won’t let me or my husband be taken advantage of. it’s frustrating when adults who are older than me really thought they could move in and just sit around and smoke all day. i didn’t really want them to move in with us in the first place but we were struggling and needed the extra help.

also to explain the car situation better, my husband gave said family member a car he owed only $1500 left on (family pressured him to do it) with the promise that they would pay on time and pay the insurance, because we had just bought another car and didn’t need it. in florida if car insurance isn’t paid for a car in your name your license gets suspended (even though we had separate insurance for our 2 other cars). they did not tell us they weren’t paying it, and my husband fucking drove for a living back then. like this person literally had no bills other than a $20 phone bill, so there’s no reason they couldn’t pay. they never apologized either. when i tell you i almost got arrested that say cuz i was ready to 🤛🏻💥

okay rant over guess i have a lot to get off my chest today

one of my favorite things about this scene is how Rio starts off her story by saying “someone” then “them” and then ends with “she is my scar” and just proceeds to fully stare at Agatha

If SJM wanted Tamlin to be seen as a nuisance at the High Lord’s meeting then she shouldn’t have made him eat everyone up 😭

The Almighty Vampire Ascendant and His Dark Consort

(all they ever do is gossip, really)

[daddiesdrarryy]

Draco: Can you believe it? Like, it doesn’t even make sense! At all! Why would he ever do that?

Pansy: Merlin, so Potter asked Cho Chang out for Yule Ball, what’s the big deal? She didn’t even agree! Why are you getting all dramatic about it, Draco?

Draco: Okay, first of all, I’m half a Malfoy and half a Black, being dramatic is literally in my blood. Second of all, it IS a big deal!

I like to headcanon that Melog is just the biggest busybody. It's been bored and alone on a dead planet for decades with no one to talk to, the mundane day to day drama of other people is such a novelty to it, it can't get enough. Plus it can become invisible and doesn't have a great grasp of privacy so it's forever listening in on conversations and generally getting way too invested in everyone's personal business.

Which means Catra, to her vast dismay, knows everyone's secrets. She would really REALLY rather not and has tried to teach Melog about boundaries but the creature does what it wants. But it means that sometimes she finds out about some misunderstanding or missed connection going on that is so downright stupid that it's just going to drive her nuts if she lets it continue so she begrudgingly has to insert herself into this drama to match-make or clear up an argument literally just so she doesn't have to hear about it anymore.

Which means, to her absolute horror she gets this reputation of being near psychic, so good at resolving personal drama that people come to her with their problems no matter how she tries to deter them and meanwhile it's really because Tealog over here is addicted to gossip.

How does one send their hand in marriage? I am asking for a friend, who obviously is head-over-heels for Cassandra Nova in Deadpool and Wolverine.

She likes her women like how I like my tea, piping hot and British.

Can't I simply be devoured without being expected to praise what devours me?

[multifandumbmeg]

Lmfao I can't be the only one thinking calling him "the real Reginald Hargreeves" isn't a compliment???? Some subtle shade there Rob 😂 (liked by David... Who is surprised)

my mom was tryna tell my dad her work drama but he kept falling asleep so she was getting mad but i was listening bc i love the drama so i was nodding along so then she got excited and started telling me and then i was like “oh i should get ready for class” and she visibly got disappointed so i was like “oh but we’re just doing research today so i can do it from home” and she literally nodded like “yes you might as well stay home if you don’t have to go. don’t waste gas” and went right back to gossipping 😭💀

Francis would def be the only one to take our Ciel dead serious if he said he sold his soul to escape the cult

One of the many reasons in an endless list of reasons as to why I love Louis more than anything or anyone, is cause he's such a cunty bitch. A sad one, but I digress. He really is a mean girl at heart, don't let his sad boi exterior fool you. I will also die on this hill when I say that he loves gossip, not starting it or even actively partaking in spilling tea to other people. No, I fully believe that he loves hearing about the latest drama going around. (not that he'd ever admit it of course. Constantly denying it because gossiping is 'uncivil' or whatever) Say for example, if someone came to him asking "did you hear about what 'so and so' did to 'whoever else'?" or something like that, Louis would be like "no, it's none of my business. Besides I don't like gossip". But when said other person goes to tell Louis about it, he'll act like he's uninterested but really this is the highlight of his evening.
