Me, walking alone in the woods: gee I hope I don’t run into a MAGICAL ARCHWAY leading me to a NEW LAND full of fairies and mushrooms and magic where I can ACTUALLY BE HAPPY!! I sure hope no MAGICAL CREATURE welcomes me into their NICE LITTLE COTTAGE and gives me tea and TAKES ME IN AS THEIR OWN

in the words of the great Elizabethan wordsmith William Shakespeare, in Hamlet Act IV Scene V, “When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.” or, in the words of the great Twitter wordsmith @Horse_ebooks,

this is 1947 Cincinnati Enquirer erasure

“The philosopher Didactylos has summed up an alternative hypothesis as “Things just happen. What the hell”.” ― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

“He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn’t occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.”

~Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere

I looked it up and this is accurate PLUS I almost clicked on the wrong link bc they made a similar statement 4 years ago. And another article entirely focused on explaining systemic racism

Here is all three

https://www.benjerry.com/about-us/media-center/dismantle-white-supremacy (2020)

https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/2016/why-black-lives-matter (2016) (they are softer on law inforcement then)

https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/2016/systemic-racism-is-real (a companion to the 2016 one)

I have to reblog again just to add their “whats new” page

https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new#

Scroll through. Ever other article is about social and political reform

My favorite so far is the 4/20 post

Yep. Also about systemic racism.

Look at the top most popular article

I didn’t scroll very far back but if you recall the system racism article is from 2016

I only get my news from Ben and Jerry’s now sorry

Get you a girl who can do both

Reason #789 why Zuko joining the Gaang earlier would have been hilarious: he's the only one sleep-deprived enough to understand Aang's batshit exhaustion hallucinations

Aang: oh my god Appa and Momo are fighting with katanas

Zuko: Momo's sword is actually a wakizashi, it's too small to be a katana

Aang: wait you can see them

Zuko, who hasn't had a proper night's sleep since he had clear skin: I See Everything

Katara: Aang please go to sleep

Aang: BUT I FORGOT MY PANTS AND-

Zuko, nodding: and your math test

Aang: AND MY MATH TEST

Aang: so then I said "NO FIRE LORD OZAI, YOU'RE NOT WEARING PANTS" and boom, nightmare over

Zuko, taking notes: you're a tiny bald genius

u think i am walking around the house with a blanket around my shoulders because i cold but in actuality it is my cloak and i am on an adventure

in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying

well that’s just the risk you take if you decide to teach creative writing

Filthy, ill-begotten offal-spawn! You dare threaten a daughter of Themyscira?!? Tear your innards out and tie you to the tree of life with them, son of a motherless goat herder!!!
