I know Zuko has an amazing character arc, but please never forget how Sokka went from being an obnoxious, sexist, jealous, mean, foolhardy, irresponsible joke to being a caring, loving, fierce, loyal, talented warrior, leader, military strategist, brother, friend, and boyfriend.
Why is Bard-Cleric so funny? Is it the vicous mockery cantrip? imagine youre at a sermon and the pastor starts roasting you in front of everyone “thou art a little bitch jacob, SO SAYETH THE LORD AMEN” and the entire church echoes AMEN
“Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important.”
For the first time since 1941, anthrax has hit Western Siberia, with 1,500 reindeer dying and 13 Yamal nomads being hospitalized including 4 children.
This is because unusually high temperatures (it’s 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal) have melted permafrost containing the corpse of a reindeer that died of the bacteria 75 years ago.
Anthrax goes dormant when frozen, turning into a spore that reanimates when the temperature rises. Scientists estimate it can survive in this state for a minimum of 100 years.
In Siberia, dozens of herders have been relocated, a quarantine is in place and a state of emergency has been declared by the mayor.
This renews concerns that ancient viruses and bacteria could once again pose a threat, as the earth warms.
In 2014 scientists discovered that a Siberian virus, pithovirus sibericum, which lay dormant in permafrost for 30,000 years, became infectious again once thawed.
this is not a consequence of global warming i had ever envisioned but now it’s the scariest thing i’ve ever heard
In my Science, Technology, and Society course, climate change has pretty much taken over as the students’ greatest fear. When l first started asking what they thought was most likely to bring about the end of human civilization, they were mildly concerned about a diverse group of things. Kind of more rhetorically than realistically afraid. Climate change was only one, and many folks needed to be convinced it was a real threat at all.
Now it’s not only their prime worry – and a much greater perceived threat for the near future than any other – but it’s also starting to measurably happen. And many of their less common fears arise because of climate change.
Like ancient, slumbering plagues that reawaken with rising temperatures.
how did they learn to translate languages into other languages how did they know which words meant what HOW DID TH
English Person: *Points at an apple* Apple

Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.”
“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.
Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”

I love entomology so much because so many words kind of happened by accident or by a native speaker trying to say “WTF are you saying?“
This is a pre-viz for Wonder Woman. Basically, a pre-viz is where stunt groups choreograph a short fight scene and then submit their work to the film makers as a way of saying, “Hey…see how fucking cool we could make your movie look?” While I don’t believe the team behind this fight scene got hired (I’m not sure on that), two out of three girls did. They were stunt doubles for Gal Gadot (Alicia Vela-Bailey) and Robin Wright (Mickey Facchinello).
i’m watching trailers for upcoming movies and got to Mary Queen of Scots and margot robbie pulled off her big, noble rich bitch wig and booyyyyy. this hoe out here lookin like IT lil cousin THAT
THATS HOW THEY ALL LOOKED THEN THOUGH!
thats how all them bitches look now under all that bronzer and contour too!
nobody had hair under the wigs?? what were they doing wrong like…it’s a wig
nope! they used to lose their hair. and the white chalky face? to conceal their scars from various diseases, the makeup was made of lead and even vinager and only made the skin worse.but yeah all those “fashionable women” wore that makeup to cover up small pox. (Alot of their skin problems though…were the result of poor hygiene)
I also wanna point out her pupils, which are huge, they used belladonna if they had light eyes, to make them look dark,big and shiny.
and yeah, they wore wigs because they used to shave their hairlines waaaaay back to fake a high forehead. and well, they either shaved all of it off, or lost it because they spent their teens using urine or other chemicals to get “fair hair”. by the time they reached their 20′s and popped out a few kids (and lived) they’d lost it all.
(sorry i just know wayy too much about this period, lol)
margot robbie fucking up her own hairline to portray them old colonizers as they truly were while also undermining the euro centric beauty standards those same uglies implemented across the globe? i stan
