Apparently EU citizens can apply for British citizenship after getting settled status... but for some reason I doubt it would really be that easy... I bet they'll come up with some bullshit again and change the rules last moment... Also what use is there staying in a country that's in a horrific crisis after leaving the EU and the coronavirus pandemic...

How the fuck did this happen? How the fuck did you let this happen? I've never been more disappointed in my life.

The Long Good Friday (1980)
"Alan found him dying. He'd been nailed to the floor."
"When was this, then?"
"Well, it must've been just after you saw him and just before Alan saw him. Otherwise, you'd have noticed, wouldn't you? I mean, a geezer nailed to the floor. A man of your education would definitely have spotted that, wouldn't he?"

I remember when I was younger people would ALWAYS make fun of me when I talked about my family because of what I called them. My family is Indian (punjabi to be exact) so I was subject to LOADS of mockery anyway. But when we did family trees in primary school I got laughed at so badly and so many people told me I had the 'wrong' names because my maternal uncle wasn't called 'mama', that was what my mother was called. When I tried to explain that that's what I called them in my culture I got told I was wrong. 8 year old me thought that my family tree was supposed to be filled with my family. What they were called to me. 8 year old me got told I was wrong. My teachers gave me sheets to fill out with 'uncle' and 'aunt' and 'grandma'. I grew up like that and when I was 10 years old we went to go and visit my mums family in Delhi. I called my mothers mum grandma. Now, when I visit I'm older, now I call my mother sister 'mausi', I call people who aren't related to me closely but are still very close 'mausi'. Because that's my culture. I am an only child but I have people I call 'didi', I have people who call me 'didi'. My older relatives call me 'beta'. I am not their daughter, but that is our culture. Now, I don't let anyone tell me what I can and can't call my family. Because they are mine. Now when people ask who's visiting, i tell them my 'chacha'.
I hate that I ever let anyone tell me my culture was wrong, that I had to leave my blood and roots behind in favour of what other people knew. But I was young and that was the reality of it. Everyday, my heart goes out to the little 8 year old girl sitting at the dining table, wishing she could change the colour of her skin and the blood in her veins.

British people arent human just saw a bunch violently arguing and kind of harassing a young american schoolteacher for using PEMDAS. which is. the acronym for it we use here. no apparently there its called BODMAS and when you imply that people in different countries use different words for things boy do they get angry!! tell you what get some astronauts. this wont let you weigh in on what children are taught in their country that isnt yours anymore because you couldnt handle a little tar and feathering but i think itd be better for your pr than this shit.

the weather is getting nicer so i think inbox!harry would enjoy some ice cream, wouldnt he? whats his favorite flavor?
<333 💗💗💗
"What a fantastic question!!"
Tumblr media
"I absolutely love strawberry ice cream. The high-quality one you get at a proper gelato place. Not the store bought one!! "
Tumblr media
"I regularly go to the ice cream parlor nearby to get a scoop or two, when the weather is nice. I'm a regular there and they know me quite well by now! It's a family that's from Italy actually and ever since I told them I'm currently learning Italian, they refuse to speak English with me to help me develop my speaking skills!
Sounds a bit intimidating, but they are so sweet!! And it helps me a lot with my speaking!"

it drives me nuts how much suffering we force people to go through to meet some arbitrary idealized standard vs something that'd actually help. they're making my 60 yr old mom with fibro take pain management classes because they're too scared to put her on the prescription pain meds that she was already on before. i just read about someone with adhd talking about how the only med that works really well for them without making them depressed when it wears off or causing anxiety is desoxyn but doctors are too afraid to prescribe it to them because it's technically methamphetamine. the drug war is a complete burden on society

it always rubs me the wrong way that when people make fun of the british it is more often than not things that poor people and british people of colour do. like making fun of english breakfast for example i understand, it may not look appetising. but that's because it's a poverty struggle meal LMAO 😭 if you wanna make fun of the british then make fun of the racist xenophobic rich white english tories (because remember that great britain also contains countries that are colonised and to this day are negatively affected by the english, namely the entirety of wales)
"british" includes british poc too, and their status as a person of colour doesn't make them.. not british? so if you don't mean to offend marginalised groups then... don't say british people. say tories. say old white english men. say the royal family. please, have the sensibility and sympathy to acknowledge that the youth of britain are not responsible for colonisation or actions of their government and are in fact harmed by it as well.

I really do wonder how much the fact that all the Americans we meet outside the US had the money for a holiday many of us couldn't ever afford in reverse leads to misunderstandings in the 'americans getting touchy about their bad reputation' discourse
