when you start reading again and it's like oh. oh . the sun actually does still shine.
What is race? What is a social construct? What is “racism” versus “structural racism”? Our video toolkit, “What is Structural Racism?” answers these questions and more.

Tumblr user @books—and-cleverness adds a quote from an interview with the author of the book:
« That was one of the first questions I asked her when we sat down: ‘Did you always know that [Prim] was going to die?’ And she said, ‘Oh yeah, of course, that’s the whole point.’ » (x)

the worst fictional deaths are actually the ones you see coming, where there is enough foreshadowing that you have time to hope, against all odds, that the character will survive, even as you realise that there’s no way out this time, they’re not going to make it, this was always how it was going to end.

This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.

Anonymous asked:
lol ella is the feminine diminutive in Italian, that's why we say la nutella (die nutella) and not il nutello (das/der nutella)
lol I never contradicted that, as I was talking about how German handels dimunutives in terms of grammatical gender.
But I was very subtle about, I understand how you might not have noticed, so I marked it in the text for you:
lol.
Okay, das mag zwar grammatisch der korrekte Artikel sein, akustisch klingt es aber dennoch scheiße. Von daher werde ich von jetzt an nur noch die Nutella-Crème sagen!
Been sitting on the idea for this silly comic for a good long while and it's waaaay too long to include with the other sketches so heeeeere we go. XD

“Douglas Adams was asked many times why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, including that 42 is 101010 in binary code, that light refracts off water by 42 degrees to create a rainbow, that light requires 10−42 seconds to cross the diameter of a proton.[7] Adams rejected them all. On 3 November 1993, he gave an answer[8] on alt.fan.douglas-adams:
‘The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought ‘42 will do’. I typed it out. End of story.’
Adams described his choice as ‘a completely ordinary number, a number not just divisible by two but also six and seven. In fact it’s the sort of number that you could without any fear introduce to your parents’.” - source
I love Douglas Adams so much

HEY. HEY. HOW DID YOU GET OUT??? HEY-
I cannot stress this enough: queer people don’t care if kids aren’t queer. What we do care about is queer children becoming queer adults and not dying before they get there. It really is that simple. Any additional context you’ve added to justify your bigotry is your own fiction.
