I can’t wait for Hillary to pull a BEYONCÉ. No promo, no campaign, no nothing. We will all just be sitting on twitter with our thumbs up our asses when our timeline suddenly starts to fill with the news that Hillary Rodham Clinton is now President Hillary Rodham Clinton. Slayed the game, and we weren’t even ready for it.

That’s called a coup. That’s a fascist dictatorship. That is the exact opposite of what anyone wants.

These are some facts that J.K.Rowling let slip in numerous interviews. Facts that tell us what all happened nineteen years later, with our three heroes, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine and other wonderful characters,

~ Azkaban no longer uses Dementors as guardians.

~George Weasley married Angelina Johnson and had 2 children named Fred and Roxanne. 

~Harry made sure that the Wizarding world knew that Snape was a hero and on Dumbledore’s side.

~Slytherin House became more diluted and was no longer solely pureblood; however its dark reputation lingers. 

~Harry lost the ability to speak Parseltongue. 

~Umbridge was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned for crimes against Muggleborns.

~The Resurrection Stone is now buried in the Forbidden Forest after being pressed into the ground by a centaur’s hoof.

~ Voldemort’s curse on the DADA position at Hogwarts has been lifted.

~Viktor Krum fell in love with a woman back home in Bulgaria.

~The Death Eater’s Dark Marks eventually faded to look like a scar. It will no longer burn or hurt.

~ The Quibbler is back to publishing articles about the lunatic fringe & is appreciated for its unintentional humour.

~Members of the DA still have their coins, as they are like badges of honor. 

~Neville Longbottom worked as an Auror before moving on as the Herbology professor at Hogwarts.

~The remaining Death Eaters were killed or imprisoned in Azkaban for their crimes, with the exception of the Malfoys.

~Luna Lovegood married the grandson of the Newt Scamander, author of ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ 

~Firenze survived his wounds and was welcomed back into the Centaur herd.

 ~Harry will never become Headmaster of Hogwarts since an academic career just isn’t him.

~Hagrid was still working at Hogwarts by 2017, at 88 years old.

~Draco Malfoy really cares about his son, Scorpius Malfoy. He is growing him up to be a better person than he was.

~Centaurs realized that “pro-human leanings were not shameful.

~Draco and Harry never became friends, but they did come to understand and appreciate each other better.

~Hermione tells Scrimgeour that she is not planning to embark on a career in Magical Law. Ironically, that’s where she ends up.

~After his death, Voldemort is forced to exist in the stunted infant-like form that Harry sees in the King’s Cross-like Limbo.

~Harry would  take his family to visit Dudley’s when they were in the neighbourhood (occasions dreaded by James, Albus and Lily).

~Aberforth is still at the Hog’s Head “playing with his goats”.

~The number of Dementors have been greatly diminished because despair and degradation have been lessened in the world.

~Arthur Weasley fixed Sirius’ motorbike and gave it to Harry.

~Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the school for witchcraft and wizardry is led by an entirely new headmaster (“McGonagall was really getting on a bit”) as well as a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That position is now as safe as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort’s death broke the jinx that kept a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year.

~Hagrid never married, although he had a relationship with a giantess.

~Kingsley Shacklebolt became the Minister of Magic after the Second Wizarding War.

~Harry will not train to be an animagus; his “energies are going to be concentrated elsewhere and he’s not going to have time to do that.

~Audrey Weasley is wife of Percy Weasley, and they both  have 2 daughters, Molly and Lucy.

~In the aftermath of the war, the Order was disbanded once and for all.

~Luna has twin boys named Lorcan and Lysander with Rolf Scamander.and apparently  travels the world, looking for mad creatures.

~Hermione advanced the rights of magical creatures & eradicated the old pro-pure-blood laws in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

~The head of the Auror Office as of 2007 is Harry Potter.

~Lavender Brown was attacked by Fenrir Greyback. Hermione saved her but she was already injured. What happened to her later on was never really told.

~Neville Longbottom’s students were impressed when he showed them his Dumbledore’s Army’s Coin.

~Harry, Ron and Neville didn’t return to Hogwarts for their 7th year. They went straight to get training as aurors and Neville went to work as an auror before becoming a Professor.

~Harry sometimes visits Hogwarts to give talks on DADA.

~Hermione is James’ godmother.

~Hermione Granger was the only member of the trio who returned to Hogwarts to complete their seventh year.

~Ron worked with George in WWW for some time and then became an Auror.

~Ginny became a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies and become the senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

~After the war, Hermione found her parents in Australia and restored their memories.

Anonymous asked:

What's wrong with Gandhi?

Where do I begin?

- Criticized Jewish Europeans for defending themselves against the Holocaust because he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide in order to “shame” the Germans instead of fighting back. His exact words were, “But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.”

- Wrote an open letter to the British people in 1940 telling them to surrender to the Axis even if it mean accepting genocide.

- Was very anti-black. I hope you can stomach reading how he treated black people in South Africa. It’s fucking disgusting.

- Refused his wife life-saving medication (for religious reasons), but those religious reasons all of a sudden no longer applied to him when he was in a similar position.

- Refused to have sex with his wife for the last 38 years of their marriage. He felt that in order to test his commitment to celibacy, he would have beautiful young women (including his own great niece) lie next to him naked through the night. His wife, whom he described as looking like a “meek cow” was no longer desirable enough to be a solid test.

- Believed that Indian women who were raped lost their value as a human.

- During his time as a dissident in South Africa, he discovered that a young male was harassing two of his female followers. He responded by cutting the girls’ hair off to ensure the “sinner’s eye” was “sterilized.” He later boasted about the incident in his writings, pushing the message to all Indians that women should carry responsibility for sexual attacks upon them.

- Argued that fathers could be justified in killing daughters who had been sexually assaulted for the sake of family and community honor.

- Believed that menstruation was a manifestation of the distortion of a woman’s soul by her sexuality.

- Waged a war against contraceptives, labeling Indian women who used them as whores.

- Held the attitude that women were simply creatures that could bring either pride or shame to the men who own them.

Mia Potter in “Degas Dances” at the Frick. Photo by Lucas Chilczuk.

On April 18-20, 2013, the museum hosted “Degas Dances,” an evening inspired by Degas’s The Rehearsal in which four Paris Opéra dancers stretch their legs to the side while a violinist accompanies their efforts. Potter, a freshman at La Guardia High School of Music & Art, stands barefoot, in a leotard and raggedy tulle skirt, impersonating the stance of Degas’s sculpture of a young dancer.
