I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

To be sure, after two years of pandemic and one year of war, the rest of Europe isn’t doing particularly well either. But nowhere is the feeling of having "lost the future" stronger than in Britain, according to the public opinion pollsters from Ipsos. In 2008, the year of the banking and financial crisis, 12 percent of people in the UK believed that their children would be worse off than them. Now, that number is 41 percent, Ipsos has found.
Hunger has been the focus of numerous recent stories coming out of the United Kingdom. Stories about a government that was planning on making cuts to the school dinners program before a football star intervened. About how even UNICEF stepped in to help feed children in a country with the sixth largest economy in the world. And about the skyrocketing popularity of Asian instant noodles, popular because they are filling and cheap, and because they take almost no time to cook – a huge advantage given that spiking energy prices have made electricity unaffordable for many Britons.
Indeed, in addition to the almost 3,000 food banks in the country – more than three times the number found in the much larger country of Germany – facilities in the UK like churches, museums, public libraries and schools opened up "warm banks" around the country this winter. The needy can also go to baby banks to pick up free diapers and formula, bedding banks for mattresses and down comforters, and fuel banks to receive vouchers for coin-operated gas and electric meters. The Blue Cross also introduced the country’s first pet-food banks this winter so that people with nothing could at least keep their dogs and cats.

I’m still thinking about John Leguizamo declaring his support for trans people in the form of a photograph of himself with yellow text over the top saying he’s all for trans and lgbtq+ because love is love
how did he select this picture and did he make this himself or did he have a member of his team make it for him. I think he made it himself.

So here's my new favourite thing happening on Tiktok:
Dutch people are making videos about Dutch culture in the same way Westerners make videos about Asian culture.
Things like:
-using a pink filter
-making traditional food
-mixing Dutch words into their English sentences
I think they're doing this to show how weird westerners treat Asian culture and I think its one of the best things to come out of Tiktok.
(They're calling it Dutchcore)
I cant
Fucking losing it
Glad I caught that

*reads the "In Event of Moon Disaster" speech again just to feel something*
Context: In 1969, while the Apollo 11 capsule was on its way to the Moon, the Nixon White House realized that there was a chance that the liftoff mechanism that would return the landing module back to the ship could fail. In which case the astronauts on the surface would be trapped and their fates sealed.
Presidential speech writer Bill Safire then quickly wrote a short speech for Nixon to read in that eventuality. And it's the most beautiful speech never given.
IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER:
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by the nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.
