You know, I think every single skill I’ve ever learned, was just cause I had a dumb idea, and didn’t yet know how to make it into a dumb reality. 

 For example: I now have some rudimentary video editing ability.

Blind people must save a lot on electricity.

They do actually!

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didn’t know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said “Oh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.” 

She stared at him for a long time and then said “How do you know I’m from Brooklyn?”

And he said “You have a Brooklyn accent.”

She said “I do?” and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said “I had no idea!  The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn.  I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did.  So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.”

all I ask for in the new star wars films is leia with a lightsaber

I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows

leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.

The heck do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”

Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”

Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.

“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT

Because girl.

“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]

Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”

“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…” “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

this post is golden

reblogging cause one of my followers tried to tell me Leia isn’t force sensitive 

There it is. The first Fake Geek Boys post I ever loved.

What kind of dingus doesn’t think Leia isn’t a Magic Space Laser Queen.

LEIA IS FORCE SENSITIVE.

NOW,

GIVE HER A LIGHTSABER

people talk a lot of shit about the 2004 phantom of the opera movie but honestly it’s not so bad when you rewatch it with an open mind

The native Maori people of New Zealand have tattooed their faces for centuries. They had a complex warrior culture before the arrival of Europeans, and suffered under early colonialism, but have experienced a cultural revival since the 60′s. 

The marks are called moko, and are etched with chisels instead of needles to leave grooves along with the ink. The true form is sacred, unique to each person, and distinct from European tattoos that mimic that traditional style.

Captive Princess 🙆♀️

Just wanted to let you guys know that I’m in a really good place. I’ve never been happier and content. Plus my friend just got a new kitty.

My life is complete

I am absolutely dumbfounded. I’ve been on Tumblr for about 6 years and i’ve been producing original content for the past two years straight and nothing on this website has surprised me more than here post. In case you’re new here  ( you probably are; my follower count almost doubled thanks to this post lol) I specialize in landscape photography with the occasional dispense of good vibes. 

I’ve taken pictures like this

Traveled to places like this

stayed up all night studying the milky way like this

Dabbled in mind bending creativity like this

Even visited different countries like Italy

But none of my posts have ever been as successful as this selfie with a cat

Conclusion; The internet is a weird place and every body definitely needs more kitties in their life. Feel free to check out my original photography and my INSTAGRAM and maybe shoot me a question if you want anything answered. 

Have an absolutely beautiful day everyone :)

Hey Guys,

Karl here. remember that one time I had a smol kitty on my shoulder? literally the cutest creature I ever experienced. Well her’s the thing. I’m currently exploring a round Australia. I’m here photographing some of the most magical landscapes I’ve ever seen. While I was exploring around the Grampians national park, I stumbled on this little friendly fella who approached me and started playing

That’s right….. He’s whispering cute nothings into my ear lol

Not sure if he’s a wallaby or a kangaroo could someone please let me know.

Also his name is jeff and he’s my bestfriend

For everyone still asking, Just want to let you guys know; Yes, I’m still in a really good place. I’ve never been happier and content. Especially when smol animels are your friends. My life is even more complete

Hijab is not a barrier to cosplay.

These Muslim women are using their hijabs to transform into superheroes.

It’s called hijab cosplay, inspired by Japanese costume role-play and it’s making waves in Muslim-majority Malaysia.

Nuzaru is one of a growing number of hijab wearers embracing this world of comics, film and video game characters.

She spends weeks planning her costumes.

Today Nuzaru is competing at Malaysia’s first event dedicated to hijab cosplay.

Saakira co-founded the event.

Hundreds are here to watch acts and learn tips from cosplay pros.

Nuzaru’s hard work pays off as she nabs top prize.

This is so great! And this is what we need here in America!

I might have softly screamed when I saw the Korra cosplayer. 

As someone with family roots in Malaysia, I am BEYOND excited that this is now a thing!!

Veterans Ask Native Elders For Forgiveness At Standing Rock.

I never thought I would see this day when a white man apologizes for the tyranny and oppression of Native American population. This is so powerful. This is the nation that I want - responsible, compassionate and that learns from its mistakes.

God bless them!

i walk into starbucks and order a pumpkin spice latte with 13 shots of espresso. i tell the barista that i intend to transcend humanity and become a god. i ask for no whip cream

you say this jokingly but i had a customer actually order a pumpkin spice latte with 9 shots of espresso (also no whip) and when i asked her to verify that she did indeed want 9 shots of espresso she looked me dead in the eyes and said “i have 5 kids”

I once had a woman come in and ordered an Americano with 19 shots of espresso. The drink took ages. It held up the line. I asked her why, and she shrugged and said “I just don’t care”. We still talk about that woman. We never saw her again.

why my hand shaky

your skeleton is ready to hatch

this is so fucking ominous thank you
