black sails ending possibility #72: whether or not silver successfully 'unmakes' flint doesnt matter because it turns out that after spending a decade in asylums and prison camps thomas has also gotten radicalized as fuck and immediately reverses all of silver's efforts

“Israel was set up by Jews from America” damn ur right I wonder why more Jews from Europe weren’t involved in the foundation of a country in 1948

 This is for all stray cat, feral feeders.

We devote hours every single day for these cats. The picture is of one of my colonies. "I may never be a lap cat, Or one who comes when called, I may resist the hand that tries to touch, And some may think I’m flawed, I may prefer my freedom, To your warm and cozy house, I may reject the bowl of finest foods, For the chance to chase a mouse. But the box you put out for me, Feels safe and warm and dry, And I raise my eyes to thank you, When I see you walking by. And I eat the food you give me, And I listen to your voice, I may never be a lap cat, But you offer me that choice. One day I’ll see the winter, One day I’ll see the rain, I may grow old not knowing, That there is freedom from this pain. But I know you try to help me, And although my days will end, I may never be a lap cat, But I know you are my friend.

my sister has our childhood cat and hes 16 now, and he's doing things that kinda sound like kitty dementia but also he has thyroid issues (truly parts of the family lol) so maybe it's that, but man's apparently stayed up yowling all night

sorry to post about cw show the 100 in the year of our lord but i wish the writers understood what the show was about

How Maurice sleeps knowing he has escaped through an almost unreachable window (and then one that was cracked open on top) causing us great concern and endangering himself

[robotlesbianjavert]

ofmd fandom is absolutely wild. they will have the most intense debates over whether the petty romcom rival is the epitome of colonial racism* in a show where the entire premise falls apart if you don't ignore the fact that main character is real life inspired by a guy who very much did benefit from colonial racism. i understand that fandom clout is on the line but have some self-respect.

[maydays-medbay]

Apparently the only inspiration that I needed to make a colony world was to watch beast wars again Anyway so it's cybertron...but with reptiles/lizards I'm not sure why but the idea of a colony world consisting of just animals like gila monsters, Iguanas, crocodiles, and geckos is just...so cool totally not just because I really want to make a gecko transformers oc and think that there should be more reptiles as alt modes besides dinosaurs cough cough

just came out of an undergrad “decolonial” interdisciplinary methods class where someone unwittingly described the black panther party’s (which they would have known if they actually checked the sources but that would have required them to acknowledge there is functionality to citations not just ‘elitism” and “gatekeeping’…) political writing ‘jargony’ and ‘inaccessible to the People’ outside of the ‘marxist field’ and another person admonished the focauldian citation of ‘subjugated knowledge’ w/o acknowledging theoretical interventions within performance studies even tho foucault was writing prior to the institutionalization of their niche-ass field................
