New Girl | Last Thanksgiving (S06, E07)

This is probably my last post on the whole “Liz is dead” situation but I want to talk about my great grandmother, who is currently 92 years old. When I was growing up, hell even now, she’d tell me a lot about her own stories, mostly about how terrifying life was under both the British Raj and Nizam rule (her side of my family is from Hyderabad - Google the Nizams and the Razakars if you’ve never heard about them, that’s a whole other thing of its own).

Something I remember very clearly is her telling me about this one song she was forced to sing in her school - she went to a Christian convent school - and the song was about the greatness of “George Prabhu and Mary Rani,” aka George V, Elizabeth II’s grandfather. Recently my mom was able to film her singing this song so that we could listen to the lyrics, which are originally in Telugu, and roughly translated it means “we’re singing in honor of George and Mary, who are the rulers of India and have brought great fortune to India, and we see them as our father and mother.”

This is just a really difficult reminder that when we’re talking about why Elizabeth II and the royal family don’t deserve our respect or condolences, many of us have very personal stories that run deep through our families. “But she was a mother, a grandmother, a person” and I don’t care because she and her family were in the business of dehumanizing and erasing the identities of millions of other mothers, other grandmothers, other PEOPLE. Why else would my great grandmother be forced to sing a song in their honor? “But she wasn’t responsible for India” fair enough, her darling grandfather had a great time doing that, but how about you go and talk to Kenya? Or anyone in Africa? Or the Caribbean? I’m sick and tired of being told to “not speak ill of the dead” when REALLY I and millions of others should be getting an apology from anyone who wants to “praise her legacy” and talk about how “revolutionary” she was.

edit: i got the george’s mixed up before. george v is elizabeth ii’s grandfather. george vi is her father.

Reblog if Pirates of the Caribbean contributed to your bisexual awakening

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people

Ok, so I watched through Lucifer during quarantine, and here is what I don't understand: What the hell is up with Lucifer's accent? Literally every other divine being (that I can remember anyways) has an American accent—including Michael, who's identical to Lucifer in almost every other way—but not Lucifer. Instead, he's gallivanting all over the place in his verbal British glory. Like, it works, but what the heck? Anyway, I came up with two theories:

1. Everyone originally spoke all American-like in heaven, but Lucifer, in an act of rebellion, decided he liked the way Europeans talked and adopted an English accent for pure dramatic purposes. Pretty in-character, if I do say so myself.

2. Everyone originally spoke like Lucifer, but changed their accents whenever he was cast out, kind of like a big divine practical joke. I understand that this is way less likely, but I'm going to go with it because I find it hilarious.

Stop and Smell the Flowers: Dick van Duijn Captured a Squirrel’s Floral Delight

so i’ve been binge-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine all day and I am totally on board with the “John Mulaney should guest star on the show as Jake’s high school best friend/lowkey boyfriend” idea, but I raise you

Once everyone putting it together that they weren’t “just friends”, Amy (out of confusion more than anything) asks “Wait, Jake, you dated John Mulaney in high school?”

And just as Jake is responding “Uh, I guess so?”

John Mulaney says “Wait, your name is Jake?”

Turns out John Mulaney spent the entire time thinking Jake’s name was John (and, of course, this is at the end of the episode, and John Mulaney has only ever referred to Jake as “Peralta”).

John as in “Salt & Pepper Diner” John. As in “Scatter” John.

As is “Jake Peralta has been featured in half of John Mulaney’s best bits over the years, but nobody put it together because of wild misunderstandings”

So, our Lung is on fire.

It is already threatened by huge deforestation, to the point it lost 20% of its wildth in less than 30 years.

It’s been burning for around two weeks and almost no word has been uttered about it. I, sincerely, have come to find out about it just now. I’m shooketh ™️ because we’re really burning away this planet.

The Amazon Rainforest holds 20% of global waters, it’s an area of incredible value in termns of biodiversity and, nevermind, it’s a crucial climate regulator. Spread awareness, demand help.

Reblog if you dont shave your legs everyday.

I just want everyone to see how unrealistic some expectations are.

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual
