You know the iconic "one leg bent, one leg out" leg pose? Well here's a uquiz that'll tell you which suit with that pose you are
compliment recklessly! say the nice things that come to your head! we've got better things to do than resisting the instinct to be kind!
being on the bus with someone you love and getting a headache so you lean on their shoulder to rest your head and you just sit there on the bus watching the city pass by feeling the solid surety of their shoulder against the side of your head.

Doing the same thing over & over again & expecting a different result. (x)
green and pink are best friends. society isnt ready for this though
homura and madoka need a long talk and then need to hug it out
Dutch elections today
Exit poll came out a little while ago and the strange thing about the Dutch political landscape is we have so fucking many parties, and I can identify with the success (or failure) of like 8-9 of them that almost every election I’m left with a big mixture of “yay the party I like did well” and “aw the party I like didn’t do well” that it just ends up being middle of the road every time anyway. One of my preferred parties has reached a historic benchmark, while some of my other preferred parties have suffered erosion.
The first transgender legislator, Lisa van Ginneken, will be joining the chamber of representatives, with a focus on (among other things) curbing the power of tech companies, and advocating for patients’ organisations in healthcare. A good development.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by quietly remembering that Native Americans sent more aid to Ireland during the famine than Britain or the US.
genderoftheblacklagoon
specifically, it was the Choctaw nation that sent aid to the Irish during the famine
1. “more aid to ireland during the famine than britain” okay let’s clear this up, again– there was no famine, it was a genocide, commited specifically by the british. ireland was literally packed with food. the only crop that failed was the potato crop. the british had no problem with ships FULL OF FOOD leaving british ports on british ships from ireland to other places to make money. IT. WAS. NOT. A. FAMINE. IT. WAS. A. GENOCIDE. and that probably explains why britain didn’t “send aid”. britain was literally using the “famine” they manufactured to clear the land of indigenous irish people.
2. which lends poignancy and power to the attempt by the choctaw nation to send food to starving irish people.
3. there was much fanfair about this in the british press at the time, because of course the british government was lying to its own people about what they were doing. it’s convenient to blame natural disasters like “famine” when in fact it is mass murder– kinda like what’s going on in yemen right now. but to conclude, what didn’t receive a lot of fanfair in the british press is the fact that much of the corn and other food the choctaw nation attempted to send did not go to starving irish people, it was essentially hijacked and went to feed british pigs and livestock.
4. which is why every saint patrick’s day we remember the genocide (one of many the british attempted in ireland) of black ‘47. and we always remember the native americans who responded in such good will and with such generosity to starving people an ocean away from them.
And - all through primary school (until age 12) it was taught as a famine; only in secondary school did we learn that the British caused it deliberately. There’s a fair amount of Irish YA novels about the Famine (can’t remember titles off the top of my head), and they’re all pretty brutal with the facts of what happened. Not to mention most people’s great-grandparents probably lived through it - it’s not that far back.
Also there’s a monument to the Choctaw nation somewhere up the country for the help.
It’s by Alex Pentek, it’s in Bailick Park, Midleton, Co. Cork, and it’s called “Kindred Spirits”.
“The English never remember and the Irish never forget.” (Chesterton)
Not forgetting is why there are so many Irish names here.
