“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar’ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?” ― Sandi Toksvig
“Are you well, Mr. Darcy?” “Quite well, thank you.” “I hope that the weather stays fine for your sport.” “I return to town tomorrow.” “…So soon?”

ok but really why cant ppl on tumblr take a joke like someome could say “humans dont breathe air we breathe water 🤪🤪” which is obviously trolling and ppl up here will take it SO DEEP and be like “Oh my God. You’re stupid. You’re so fucking stupid. Oh my God, you’re fucking stupid. This is the American education system, ladies and gentlemen. Never in my ___ years of life have I seen such imbecilic behavior. This makes me want to harm myself. Our future generation is bleak. Imagine carrying a child for 9.2 months and then they say such idiotic things. You should be ashamed of yourself. Because of you, I’m not paying my rent. Fuck you. You know what? Fuck you. We don’t deserve internet. We don’t deserve net neutrality. Op, I hope you know you killed 12 people just by posting this. Hope you’re happy.”
Good luck historians of the future.
this is so sad private 27-piece orchestra play despacito
there’s a portrait of cedric diggory in the hufflepuff common room.
nobody knows who painted it. the other houses speculate, but the hufflepuffs know not to ask, because that’s not really what’s important.
it’s one of the moving ones, of course. sometimes cedric isn’t in it - it’s said that the portrait has a twin, over amos diggory’s fireplace, and cedric always loved his father. but he’s there enough, smiling down at the hufflepuffs who congregate in the common room, watching them as they go about their lives.
the portrait is by the door, next to one of the overstuffed yellow chairs. students sit there to talk to cedric, with some modicum of privacy. at first, it was his friends, the people who knew him and miss him and love him. but as time went on it became those who knew him by reputation. kids seeking advice, help with homework. someone to talk to, on a long and cold night. gradually, he became a legend, spoke in hushed whispers to the first-years as they came in. if you’re ever in trouble, talk to cedric. he’ll always help you.
after the battle of hogwarts, when the furniture was mended and the new students hesitantly made their way in, there was another portrait next to it, of hufflepuff’s favoured daughter. tonks, known by one name only, blew painted bubbles from her world of acrylic and canvas. while students came to cedric for help and advice, they came to tonks to ask questions. she would tell the most wicked stories, and some of them were even true. when someone needed cheering up, when they were wanting to brainstorm their next epic prank, they went to tonks.
she wasn’t always there, either. another portrait above a cot, where a baby with shocking blue hair could look at it and laugh. but when she was, she was always happy to have people come to her. when they did, it felt like she wasn’t just paint and canvas. she felt alive.
hufflepuffs look after their own, you see. dead or alive.
HOW DO I REBLOG THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
Some of you are so young… You weren’t here for Dashcon… Mishapocalypse… That fateful day when Pizza was deleted… There is much history you do not know children. Be grateful you’ll never have to live those horrors. Be grateful…
