MODERN!HOGWARTS FOUNDERS

Read Debord.

Vox actually did a pretty nice article about it, and in case you were wondering what charities it is supposed to be benefiting

https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/10/30/18043054/ben-jerrys-political-pecan-resist

Ben and Jerry’s isn’t making an empty advertising gesture. They company has supported Bernie Sanders, and made an ice cream flavor to raise awareness of global warming. They run progressive news stories on their websites and social media. They pay their workers a living wage. Even their brownies are sourced from a company that specializes in hiring people out of jail to help them get their lives back on track. They’re open supporters of socialism. I understand the idea of “no ethical consumption” but Ben and Jerry’s isn’t just adopting a political message for nothing.

Blind cynicism will make friends look like enemies.

They are a pretty fresh company in Poland (their ice cream showed up in stores less than two years ago), but they already are very strong financial supporters of our LGBT organizations, especially in Warsaw. They were one of the sponsors of the Warsaw Pride, they also gave 6000 zł (~1600$) to two important LGBT organizations so they could renovate their shared, first real office (the organizations are Miłość nie Wyklucza, who are fighting mainly for marriage equality, and Parada Równości, organizers of Warsaw Pride), and right before the Pride this year they sponsored us a fireproof rainbow in the former spot of an art installation - a rainbow made of flowers - that was burned down seven times. Click for a short english video on the story of this rainbow!

And let me tell you, this is not good PR for them here. It would be better for them and their sales here if they didn’t openly show us any support. Their local fanpage is filled with people raging about their “leftist ideology”. But they still do, which shows they are true to the values they talk about.

Take a look through the comments and you’ll see a lot of things like this, whether it’s refusing to sell two scoops of the same flavor ice cream in Australia until citizens voted in favor of gay marriage, one of the founders showing up personally to a trans rally to hand out ice cream and hugs, or both owners getting arrested at protest rallys.

Then just normal shit like “paying their workers a living wage” and “ethically sourcing ingredients” that seem like should be bare minimums for companies but somehow isn’t.

They’re also just flat out giving money to these charities regardless of sales, the artist is one of the co-founders of CultureStrike & Presente.org (also a queer WOC), and regardless of whether you buy the ice cream the very fact that we’re talking about it and the names of the charities are visible means that the marketing campaign was successful.

I think one of the most interesting comments I’ve seen on this thread was something like: if there truly is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism then we also have to accept there is no such thing as ethical production. And at that point I think it makes more sense to look at both through a filter of context and intent.

They were big supporters of Amendment 4 here in Florida, the largest expansion of voting rights in the country since the Civil Rights Movement. Florida permanently banned folks with felony convictions from ever voting again, leaving roughly 1 in 10 Floridians over the age of 18 without access to the ballot box. Ben & Jerry’s didn’t just support financially—they led a statewide ice cream truck tour to help get out the vote during the final weeks of the election, educating voters on the impact of Amendment 4 passing and giving out free scoops, swag, and info sheets. Like, even when capitalism is overthrown, there’s still a place for Ben & Jerry’s in the socialist future, I hope.

Human vs Animals

The fact that Snape is one of the youngest if not THE youngest professor is fucking hilarious.

Like how does he get away with half the shit he does like almost everyone there has taught him since he was 11 and they just see this 21 year old just walk back in like “Sup fuckers I’m a professor now by force better so you better start treating me like one.”

7th years in the school are like probably “Didn’t this fucker graduate 3 years ago?”

Imagine being a fourth year who has done /said something to your classmate Snape and then in your 7th year he’s your TEACHER

THAT’S LOCKHART THAT’S LITERALLY LOCKHART LIKE

1. He Went to School with Snape

2. Got taught by Snape

3. Became part of the Staff like Snape

And the Fact that he’s acting like he knew shit about potions is hilarious cause you just got Snape in the corner like

“Listen here you little shit . I taught you. I’ve seen your test scores. I graded those shits and you coming in here talking about being able to come up with an antidote?…Sit down.”

The more people reblog this the more shock I am that they didnt know Snape started teaching at like 21 and he’s like 30 first book

People in the tags for the past week having been confused and going bananas so like we gonna forget about the movies. Because the movies got it all wrong

Snape is 31

Hagrid is 63

Professor Mcgonagall is 56

Lupin and Sirius and Peter (3rd movie/book) 33

Dumbledore is 112

Do what you will with this info fam

You forgot Burbage. In the books, she’s in her twenties.

Bringing this back around, when Snape started teaching in Aug/September 1981, he was 21

In Aug/September 1981, Lockhart was 17 :’)

lockhart, 17, never fucking learned how to read: actually professor ;-)

snape, professorially, as if he hasn’t just had his last growth spurt: on god, i’ll smack the shit out you. put—your hand—down.

baby boomers when they hear you say “child abuse” and they’re waiting to talk about how their parents used to beat them unconscious when they were five and that’s a good thing somehow

implying boomers wait and don’t just interrupt

Not a boomer. Theres nothing wrong with corporal punishment.

You would say that, tumblr user bondage king twelve

What does their name have anything to do with it? You offer no logical reason for them to be wrong, and clearly you dont understand what bondage is, and likely dont know anything about their preferences.

Try offering a logical reason that their statement is wrong.
