WE DON’T RUN TO TAYLOR. TAYLOR RUNS TO US.

The actual queen of the universe.

I love the fact that Taylor not being online the last few days could mean she’s up to something crazy, but it could also mean that she’s just relaxing and living her best life, both of which are equally as beautiful and satisfying

Classic Hollywood Bloopers

And the greatest Hollywood blooper of all time:

These are WONDERFUL

Two more of my favorites:

These are great..made me smile😊💖

The fact these exist are truly amazing.

In the olden days, if footage was not used in a film, it was either destroyed or erased so they could reuse the reel, because it was cheaper than storing unused film.

Google the BBC’s lost archives to find out more.

when ur watching a paint video and u think u kno what the color is gonna be but it changes

“Bad at Love” was on in a shop the other day and regardless of how you feel about Halsey, it’s worth noticing that kids are going to hear a woman using pronouns for men and women and being open about her bisexuality and normalising it (as it so so so should be) and that’s important

I knew it was Dan the moment I saw those shoes

Who’s that hiding under the sheets?

This is, like, the opposite of a horror movie.

does anyone else ever have a meltdown in one chat window and a totally normal conversation in another

It’s nice that modern technology allows compartmentalization to become so very literal.

YES

advanced level is when youre having a normal conversation in one app and a breakdown in another and both convos are with the same person

I love Gordon Ramsay so much.

He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.

He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.

When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire - the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.

He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.

He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.

He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)

His kids are a treasure.

He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.

When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight: 

I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person. 

Oh and then there’s this:

this entire episode 

never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person

Uncle Gordon

Gordon is precious and I love him.

I’m really glad people post stuff like this because honestly yes, the only thing I knew about Gordon Ramsey at first was that he swears like a sailor. It’s good to know that he’s a much more genuine person than that. This is probably also a good example of how television can shape our perceptions of people; TV producers are going to focus on what gets the most attention, not on what is necessarily best or most true about a person. It’s good to be mindful of that while watching reality shows and movies.

The reason he shouts isn’t actually because of the food safety thing. I mean, yes, that’s part of it, but there’s an early episode of Kitchen Nightmares where he explicitly lays it out: He’s dealing with a chef who… frankly reads like an abuse victim in a lot of ways - flinching from confrontation in a very familiar manner. And the rest of the staff was just deliberately stomping on triggers, keeping the poor chef cowed so they could do whatever the fuck they wanted. It didn’t quite click when I saw it, but it was pretty blatant abuse.

So Ramsay took the chef out into an empty field to yell and develop Chef Voice.

Because Chef Voice keeps people like that off of you.

Now that it’s clicked for me that that was abuse… it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that this incredibly gentle kind-hearted soul who yells a lot comes from an abusive background himself.

Self-effacing submission is a survival strategy against abuse. And it can be an effective one. But it also makes you more vulnerable to abuse. And when you’re first learning how to actually confront people again… it’s a very all-or-nothing thing. If you back down one iota, you’ll crumble entirely.

How do you fix that? Build up a good head of steam. Stay angry. Blow right past their attempts to guilt you or reverse it.

It’s not an ideal solution - it’s step one in healing - but it’s one that’s pretty immediately effective.

#i’ve reblogged this like twice#and i think some people are reblogging this as a joke#but bless this man and what he stands for

how is this funny to anyone.

Those people obviously don’t realize the extremely high kill rate for cats at shelters, not to mention that people literally dump indoor cats outside when they don’t want them anymore, and indoor cats often die due to starvation/predators (duh they have no survival skills).  

Also - I might also be crying.

Jackson Galaxy is awesome. His story is is that he used to be a drug addict, and that while he was in the beginning of his recovery he saved a stray cat and nursed it back to life, and in return the cat essentially did the same for him, and ever since then, he’s taught himself everything there is to know about cats and their behavior. Cats saved his life, so he’s saving cats lives. He’s awesome.

I love this guy.
