First Month in Toronto in pictures!

Been such an amazing time and I‘m already so in love with this city! I’ve managed to find myself an apartment (that I’m moving into soon), and a job (which is literally the dream).

Living in a hostel has been a challenge but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Made loads of friends from all over the world, had some really great nights out in the city, and get to look out to a banging view of the Toronto skyline whenever I want.

Looking forward to the next 23 months I have here!

I'VE MOVED. I've now spent a full day in Toronto and I already love it. Can't wait to full explore and find my place here!

Just to clarify the attack on disco in the late 70’s/early 80’s was truly an attack on the Black and LGBT communities.

It was weird growing up constantly hearing jokes from cartoons and shit about how bad disco was, and hearing disco and thinking “I like this, why do people hate this?”

Now I’m just like “… oh…”

wait... why does the american internet cost like... 55 bucks??

with all this net neutrality stuff ive discovered that NORMALLY internet in the us costs like 55 bucks per month? what the fuck? yall are already getting ripped off like crazy holy shit im getting fiber-optic internet for 25€ over here 

$55 a month? Ha! No, it’s much more. Comcast, Verizon, AT&T love to stick it to Americans, and overcharge for internet.

dear god its just like the medicine/drugs bs again… i think ive seen people say 10ml of insulin cost them 275$ when here it barely costs 15€ AND most of it usually doesnt have to be paid because of our healthcare system. jesus i hope i never have to work in the US, what a fucking nightmare it looks for you guys

I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the pingüinos take their sweet time and aren’t very fast walkers to begin with.

can I volunteer to be a penguin

I feel like the world needs to know the context of the edinburgh zoo penguin parade, becausr I’ve been going there my entire life and I only found out about this the other year.

So a while back (I can’t remember exactly when but I think it was some time around the 40s/50s), a bunch of penguins escaped. A keeper left the gate open so a bunch of penguins just… followed them. And the people loved it. Look at these adorable birds outside their cage just following that guy around! So they get all the penguins back inside and realise that none of them really ran off, they just followed the keeper and went back inside and crowd thought it was amazing, so why not make it a regular thing? Get enough people there that if one of them goes to make a run for it (which at least one has in the past), they can’t get past the people, and let the ones who want outside have a little wander. So every day, they get a crowd, they open the gate, and whatever penguins want to get out can go, waddle about, squawk at people, and then hop back inside.

Also, one of those penguins is Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III, Colonel-in-cheif of the Norwegian King’s Guard. This isn’t really related to the parade at all, I just love the fact that there’s a penguin in the Norwegian army

Reblogging with Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III inspecting his troops.

Carry on …

I love everything about this post.

A GOOD POST

There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late

The german word you are looking for is ‘Torschusspanik’

Germans got a word for fucking EVERYTHING.

German is like the dictionary of obscure sorrows

Germany is a place of obscure sorrows

no offence but i am literally filled with anger every time i remember there are legitimately people who are rich enough to buy half the globe and then some but the poor are dying because wages will not adapt to inflation and the super-rich refuse to part with any amount of their wealth.
