Had a twenty-minute "totally-not-an-argument" with my mother yesterday over the royal family.
In the end, she concluded that I "probably hadn't researched the monarchy enough" and that my belief that "the French had the right idea" is a product of "unwarranted cynicism."
Meanwhile, my friend just texted me in floods of tears, letting me know the appointment she waited over a year for, for nerve ablation, was just canceled because of the royal funeral.

It's flu season! Remember to secure your leeches now so you can balance your humors later <3
Hey since TERFs buried the original, higher quality recording, here’s the only surviving recording of trans activist Sylvia Rivera’s infamous “Y'all Better Quiet Down” speech, along with full transcription, now free and open on Archive.org. The transphobic fucks can try their best to scrub us from history, but we’re not going anywhere.
what do you mean this isn’t how polnareff and iggy’s first meeting went down
As someone who taught U.S. history, I always made sure not to mince words when it came to the U.S. and the variety of governments that the CIA helped overthrow, nor the atrocities they condoned due to their inaction (particularly Latin American tragedies because that's what I was writing my senior essay on). For more information on CIA involvement within Central and South America I would recommend the Massacre at El Mozote by Danner which discusses the hushed massacre of a small community in the Los Altos (now split between Guatemala and mexico). Alternatively, Mexico Beyond 1968 by Pensado and Ochoa is a great read which was utilized for my paper. Also, keep a lookout for "The Dictators Balls: Rafael Trujillo and U.S. Dominican relations by Moulton , which is currently under peer review and examines the usage of golf tournaments by Dominican dictator Trujillo to broker deals with American diplomats. Additionally, for some primary sources you can access the LITEMPO and PB SUCCESS collections in the nsa archives for free, as they have been unclassified and released online for public view.
wait….are any americans aware that the cia overthrew the democratically-elected premier of iran in 1953 because he wouldn’t concede to western oil demands….and how that coup was the reason for the shah’s return to power, the iranian revolution, and the resulting fundamentalist dictatorship…..like, america literally dissolved iranian democracy and no one knows about it???
im not a bnha blog however i have some things i feel like i just want to scream about! some of these are based on his birth chart too so if you’re into astrology i hope you enjoy that aspect as well!
length: 780 words
tenya loves spicy food
he looks like he wouldn’t be built for it but he’s actually got a pretty high pain tolerance
he adds chili pepper to literally everything
he also has a massive sweet tooth so sometimes when he confiscates peoples snacks in class, he eats them himself later
if you’re one of his closer friends (or his s/o) he’ll share them with you
he spends like $80 a week on honey buns from the vending machine
tenya also has a scorpio moon so i think that like bakugo he loves love/romance HOWEVER instead of romance manga, he reads corny ass wattpad stories as a guilty pleasure
mina made a joke about her wattpad phase once and it led to his demise bc he was too damn curious and he just had to look it up
if you ask him directly about it he will deny it but he’s a voracious reader and can finish like 4 books a week
they’re so bad but they’re so good lmao
he enjoys correcting the writers’ grammar as he reads and complaining about how cliche the plot is but he just cant stop reading
iida is also the only boy in class 1-A that actually takes care of himself lowkey
i think he’s got a better skincare routine than me tbh
it’s simple, yes, but expensive and it works wonders on his skin and on yours
he owns a jade roller. no questions asked
i also see him as the type of person who’s scared of putting in contact lenses BDHSNSVSJSNS
like he’s got so much anxiety around accidentally poking an eye out he just can’t muster up the courage to do it
especially bc his hands are so big for no reason
he does own contacts tho, they literally just sit in his bathroom cabinet
speaking of his sweet tooth again, tenya cannot drink black coffee
i’ve seen some people say that’s his order when the deku-squad goes to starbucks or smth but no i think he gets like 15 pumps of caramel in a grande cup BEHSNSVSAJAN
his attention to detail is impeccable
he’s got a virgo mercury and mars he literally notices EVERYTHING
this makes him a very good gift giver bc he literally remembers everything about you and keeps a mental note
uhhh let’s see what else
tenya is rhythm blind SVDHSNSBAKAKA
he cannot dance to save his own life
lord knows how he fakes his way through all the hero charity galas and stuff his family hosts
he can only do a two step if you count for him
he’s a pretty decent singer tho
very shy about it tho
if you get him under the influence of a substance he will definitely do karaoke and he’ll make everyone look bad bc he’s really good
that’s his leo sun talking fr
he’s also a sneaker head surprisingly
it sounds like it doesn’t make sense HOWEVER hear me out
he runs all the time everywhere for training and stuff, constantly trying to beat his PR
so he goes through running shoes very easily
but he doesn’t want to get the exact same ones every single time so he switches it up
then he fell down the rabbit hole of lifestyle sneakers and here we are
i don’t know if he dresses the part but i don’t think he wears stiff ass polos and dress pants all the time
that makes no sense bc how tf will his big ass calves fit in the pants BDBSJSNSJA
so streetwear actually makes a little bit more sense
just imagine tenya in baggy khaki pants and jordan 1s
and a baggy sweater vest omg
giving very much tyler the creator vibes
i think it fits him tbh
especially as he gets older and figures out what he likes to wear as opposed to what his parents put him in
ALSO tenya is very into the humanities and social sciences
he wouldve gotten into the arts but mans cant draw for his life either
fortunately he can read like hell so he consumes copious amounts of political and philosophical theory for funsies
based iida⁉️⁉️⁉️
also a polyglot maybe?
dont ask me what specific languages but most likely japanese, english, mandarin and spanish
hes one of those people whos like "oh i read an article about that!" whenever you mention something new
but not in a condescending way he just genuinely wants to show you that he relates to whatever you're talking about
he prides himself on being a walking encycloepdia just so he can help everyone
thats all ive got for now but im definitely gonna post more if i can think of any
It’s always “why did you go out in the storm” and “your soaking wet” and never How was the storm The storm looked fun was it fun
my three wives. and yes, they smoke weed
