dawg you can NOT be putting nothing but doomsayer news on my timeline. i know its good to be informed but there's a difference between knowing about the situation and making informed decisions and being pelted with heavy rocks and sticks and knives
i love how harry and ron are just down to fight malfoy at any time for any reason since the very beginning. even when they’re going to their duel in the philosopher’s stone harry gets his wand out on the way just in case draco pops out of nowhere he wants to be 100% ready to go. when harry wins his second quidditch match ron doesn’t even notice, he’s too busy punching on with malfoy in the stands. they basically wake up in the morning, brush their teeth and prepare for a fight god bless
i do want to say, the pope dying is not Good. like haha on easter, we hate the churches and religion, but pope francis made real change within the church. he cared. he was willing to listen.
the next pope will hopefully be better, but there is a very real, very imminent chance that the next pope will turn back everything pope francis stood for. the next pope could very very well be a an extreme right leaning pope.

How tall and strong Ron is? Can he lift them easily?
(I’m dying)
i do think that one of the worst things “activist” spaces on the internet ever did was convince young marginalized people that individual people, complete strangers, were their oppressors. no, matt from chemistry class isn’t personally oppressing you because he’s a guy, that old lady at the bank isn’t personally oppressing you because she’s cis, your waiter isn’t personally oppressing you because they’re white. individuals can and do contribute to systems of oppression. but seeing random individuals you encounter in your daily life as your oppressors will do nothing but trick you into punching laterally or punching down because you think it’s “empowering.” you might get a momentary rush of endorphins from snapping at the male cashier bc #menaretrashuwu but all you’re doing is being shitty to a random guy making poverty wages.
i saw a tik tok the other day that like perfectly described this phenomenon, how gen z (and some young millennials too tbh) pushes for systemic justice and equality, but refuses to give that on an interpersonal level, and like. y’all. you simply cannot achieve systemic change if you’re not also working toward interpersonal change. you will do more for your own liberation by treating others with sensible patience and kindness than you will pushing this toxic individualist narrative of “i don’t owe anyone anything and i get to act however i want to people i view as my oppressor.” we need class solidarity now more than ever.
Lavender: “Isn’t the Quidditch Keeper so cute?”
