Reminds me of this lol
Abolitionist leader John Brown was executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia on December 2nd, 1859, for his raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in an attempt to start a slave liberation movement.
A number of his men were killed or captured by US Marines led by none other than Robert E. Lee.
Following the raid, he was seen as a hero by many abolitionists at the time. He was celebrated in song by Union soldiers during the Civil War, which broke out just under two years later.
John Brown may be dead, but just as those Union boys sang:
“His soul is marching on.”
Do you think the gaang ever told Zuko that Toph invented metalbending or do you think she just did it in front of him at some point and he just went hey. hey wait a minute.

If anyone deserves that “fish fear me” hat is this guy
the “bad guys” in hallmark movies end up always being the most respectful men ever.
because they will find out their girlfriend of 3 years (that they were about to propose to) went off to a random farm in minnesota, hours away from were the two of them built a life together, and she decided to just… stay there without even consulting him.
and then he decides to take a trip to make sure she’s okay, because this is generally alarming behavior, and then sees that she literally fell in love with her ex within one (1) week- and he wasn’t there, but you can TELL that they’ve made out a couple times.
and then she just strings him along for a few days, until fucking christmas eve, when she just breaks up with him and is like “i know we used to have the same values, but i’ve never loved you. mark makes me happier than you ever did. and you ONLY care about work, whereas i like christmas and fun, like a Good Person.”
and then, after finding out his entire relationship was a lie and he had his life turned upside down in a week and he got dumped on christmas, this guy’s just like “ok yeah that makes sense. i only wish you the best of happiness with mark. i hope you guys build a great life together in christmastreefarmville. thank you for everything.”

why is a photo from 1993 in black and white
because black and white photography existed in 1993 and still exists today and is often employed by artists to bring a certain level of subtlety, intimacy, distance, or many other interpretations to a piece
yes and, also, you can develop and print black and white film very easily yourself in fairly simple labs either at home or at schools, professional labs, etc. this is part of the artistry involved in shooting film. i was taught to do this in high school which for me was even slightly after the 90s. people still shoot film a lot as it gives you much more control over many aspects of image creation than digital, creates physical media instead of digital files, and isn't limited by file size or resolution. there are still lots of film labs around
To make the connection with this last addition a bit more clear: up until the advent of digital photography, film had to be developed, which meant you had two options for getting your film from camera to photo:
1. Take it to someone else to get them developed. This person sees all the photos they're developing for you. Asking the wrong person to develop photos of you with your partner is potentially life-ruining for someone in the closet.
2. Develop them yourself! For obvious reasons, many LGBTQ+ people chose this option, and black & white photography's relative ease and accessibility made it popular in marginalized communities in general even after the advent of color photography.
It should also be noted that color pictures in newspapers is a really recent common practice—the New York Times didn’t use color until 1993, and color didn’t grace the front page until 1997. Granted they were a bit behind the times (pun not intended), but this article from 1986 in the LA Times talks about the benefits and challenges of color in newspapers—color pictures were more appealing yes, but more expensive and harder to get high quality images, so reserved for pre-printed materials and front pages. (It’s actually a really fascinating article because I’ve never thought of the intentional design choices that went into how a newspaper looks—for me they’ve always been just newspapers). Even after most newspapers adopted color they weren’t used for every photograph because of cost (black and white was waaay cheaper) and technology limitations.
I can’t find a source for the photo above, but if it was taken by a news photographer they probably shot in black and white because it was a) cheaper and b) standard practice.
(Also check out this fact check, which deals with the civil rights movement and the use of color photography in newspapers).
You are a wizard that specializes in summoning magic. Unlike other summoners that forcefully bind otherworldly creatures to do their bidding, you are the eldritch equivalent of “I know a guy”.
I feel like public libraries don’t get enough hype. Like, you’re telling me all I have to do is give you my name and address and promise to bring the books back and I’m allowed to take as many as i want??? And I can check them out over and over again if I need to??? And I only pay if I damage or lose the book???? If this is where my tax money is going then please keep on taxing.
All ill say if the us supreme court decides to turn over the indian child welfare act and i don't see white people talking about it, especially white lgbt people, i will be pissed
Putting this on my account so it reaches my audience. I don't know what this is or what's happening but if I can spread awareness for those who need it, I'll happily talk about it.
So the ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) basically prevents the removal of Native American children from their homes, which essentially removes them completely from their culture and whitewashes them. Obviously, that’s not very good, which is why the tribes fought to get the bill instated and now people are trying to remove it, which is why it’s going to the SCOTUS. Which is why that link above is very helpful!
