As best I can tell, the back of the doll box’s text reads: RICHARD is a handsome, wealthy widower who cannot seem to get over the loss of his first wife … until you came along! His kids are now Your Little Step Children, who you feel conflicted about to say the least. Richard’s silences are full of sorrow; he has a void in his heart that perhaps you can fill. He just has to accept that his first wife is gone … or is she?

it fucks me up that tolkien only died in 1973. dude has the vibe of a victorian scholar who wrote all his manuscripts by candlelight but then you look him up and realise that he knew what color tv was. what the fuck.

Tolkien had personal beef with the Beatles

I think the worst urban myth still prevalent is people thinking that they can contract the disease from a vaccine

The last time that happened was in the 50s when they were desperate to create a vaccine for polio and vaccines were relatively new

You can't get sick from a shot

No, you didn't get the flu from the flu shot, you were already infected by the time of immunization

Or you got a different strain the flu shot is predicting what strain of flu is most likely to be infectious that time of year but there are multiple strains that go around

And even if you get a different strain of flu than what you were immunized against, it still makes a difference. It will lessen the severity of the symptoms and shorten sickness.

get your fucking vaccines

This is the hell Americans are living in: the senate took 9 MONTHS to decide whether or not to give us more money during this pandemic. They finally decided to give every American $600. 

Once. 

Not monthly, not for several weeks. 

Once. 

Our minimum wage is $15. 

That means they’re giving us one paycheck that is equal to a 40 hour a week work week at minimum wage. 

J U S T     O N C E

Took them 9 FUCKING months of raking in a senator’s fucking salary of cash into their pockets piddling and poking and getting tax breaks for themselves. 

And this is what they give us. 

THEY MAKE $174,000 PER YEAR. 

That means:

Biweekly salary of $174,000 a year is $6,692 per 2 weeks Weekly salary of $174,000 a year is $3,346 per week Daily salary of $174,000 a year is $669 per day Hourly salary of $174,000 a year is $89.23 per hour

That means that in the 9 months they refused to give anyone money through this pandemic, have let people die and encouraged people to go out and get infected, they have made $120,456 EACH. 

AND THEY WANT TO GIVE US $600. 

ONCE.

This is primarily on Mitch McConnell. One of his sticking points is not giving the American people “too much money” because??? The democrats have been proposing more money for working class americans since MAY and Mitch won’t even let the senate VOTE on those proposals. If you live in georgia, please vote in the senate runoffs and vote for the democrats, because Mitch has way too much power right now and we can take away his majority with those two seats.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that federal minimum wage is actually only $7.25 per hour.

I am truly over the moon that people are re-discovering the original Moomin comics and esp that LGBTQ+’s are identifying w them (tbh the only good thing abt this timeline) but idk how many of you know about the series’ iconic creator the gay, anti-fascist, Swedish-speaking Finn, Tove Jansson. The daughter of two artists, she’s considered one of the world’s greatest children’s book authors.

Along w several male partners, she dated Vivica Bandler, lived in a secluded cottage w her gf and life partner, Tooti, described here on Wikipedia: In 1956, Jansson met her lifelong partner, Tuulikki Pietilä – or “Tooti,” as she was known. In Helsinki they lived separately, in neighbouring blocks, visiting each other privately though an attic passageway. In the 1960s, they built a house on a tiny uninhabited island in the Gulf of Finland, 100 kilometres from Helsinki, where they would escape for the summer months.[23]’ ‘It is speculated that the character Too-ticky, an androgynous human character who wears a red striped shirt and carries a briefcase, was inspired by Pietilä.’

Also according to Wikipedia, ‘She drew illustrations for Garm, an anti-fascist Finnish-Swedish satirical magazine.[6]’ And when she got tired, she just straight up got her brother, Lars, to take over the Moomins strip from 1961 to 1974 (which his daughter now runs since 1993).
