apparently europeans have the impression that US Americans never learn the metric system.

like our science curriculum from day one is entirely done in the metric system. we just don't use metric in our day to day lives.

yeah actually we kinda just do it for the bit :)

I have had people try to gently and kindly explain to me the workings of the metric system, as if Americans are having trouble with the concept of a base ten system. like no. we get it. we were taught this when we were like eight. it's just that like. we don't really wanna do it that way. for the bit.

no no it's for the bit it's for the bit !!! it's for the bit!!!!!

Yesterday I was birding in a wildlife refuge and this huge dog without a leash and no owner in sight ran up to me and started barking at me, and getting closer and closer. Literally thought it was going to pounce. It had a collar, but no owner in sight. I'm not afraid of dogs, but I am afraid of any large animal that's angry and has the capacity to knock me over. After about five minutes of this dog growling at me and me trying to calm it down, its owner finally showed up, and was like......"oh haha I thought he was yelling at an animal." As if it would have been normal and fine for the dog to attack the wildlife.

It's a wildlife refuge. There are endangered species that live there. Dogs are required to be leashed at the park...you know why?? Precisely because dogs like to go after birds and other small creatures.

This isn't even the first time I've dealt with unleashed dogs....

I was at a beach, collecting seashells and birding, when a huge pitbull ran up to me growling. Thankfully it didn't attack and just sniffed my bag, but the owner was just a speck in the horizon, didn't care that their dog was running around doing god knows what. The dog could have gone after the wildlife, too.

People letting their cats roam free outdoors 🤝 People that let their dogs run around without a leash:

Endangering their pet, the environment, and other people with their stupid choices

Keep your dog on a fucking leash

It's not just wildlife. It's other people dogs too. I dogsat for a coworker who had a not-always-friendly-to-other-dogs dog. She was also 20 pounds and easy to carry if needed, but sometimes she was fine with other dogs and sometimes she chose violence. I took Doggo on walks several times over the week I watched her. Always in places dogs are required to be on leash. Always during times we were less likely to run into other people walking dogs. In one such place, a park near where the coworker lived, we stopped to sit on a bench (Doggo sat up next to me for love) for a few minutes. Out of nowhere a large pitbull bounded up to us. I immediately scooped up Doggo, stood, and turned to face the pibble. While the pibble was clearly just excited and happy, the owner was a significant distance away. Owner once he got to us, with a big grin: Oh don't worry she's friendly! She loves other dogs too! Me, holding a clearly upset dog: Mine isn;t and she doesn't. The look on his face made it clear that other dogs not being friendly wasn't even a thought he had when he took the leash, that was in his hand, off his dog. Again in a park with numerous "Keep your dog leashed!" signs. As I walked by with a now growling dog in my arms, I told him he needed to keep his dog on a leash - like the park required. I carried her until we were out of sight and she was calm. If I hadn't responded like I did, there could have been major problems from not only me and the dog I was walking, but also the other dog and owner. Not everyone has dog-friendly (or even people-friendly) dogs. Give unknown dogs space and for God's sake: Keep your dog on a fucking leash.

granted i havent read lotr since i was 13 but the way legolas joins the fellowship always cracks me up, like hes literally a prince but they sent him as a messenger to basically tell the council like "whoopsiedoodles we fucked up and gollum is gone, that's what you get for entrusting him to the party elves of mirkwood you know how we get" and he feels SO bad he joins this super deadly quest like imagine you're thranduil and you're like "hey son can you go to elrond's house and tell him we fucked up royally" and your son is like sure pops can do but then you don't hear from him for like two months so you call elrond like hey e-dog what's good have you seen my son. and elrond is like. well i dont know how to tell you this but he went on a homoerotic voyage to the most dangerous place on earth. id be so mad

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 🤍🖤🤎🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙 🏳️‍🌈

This Pride month I decided to create a series where I showcase Disney in different color palettes meant to represent the different colors that exist or have existed on the pride flag + explain what each color stands for. 

Inspired by the classic song ‘Over the Rainbow’ from the 1939 film The Wizard from Oz, Gilbert Baker created a rainbow flag to represent LGBT+ folks. The original eight stripe flag consisted of the colors Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Indigo, and Violet.
