Let the world go to hell, but I shall have my tea.

Everybody give it up for columnar jointing

Woo! Yeah! Woohoo! Yippee! Hell yeah! Woo!

I love this man with ALL my heart

Jack Barnabas is such a guy. He would do numbers as a period romance protagonist

idk there's just something to be said about how innocent his affection for Agnes is. Even after he acknowledges that she couldn't have been human, he can only ever describe her in the most human way possible. She's beautiful because she's tall and has auburn hair and hypnotic eyes, not because she's some messiah to some vengeful god. She's strange because she's a bit socially awkward and takes joy in simple things, like ordering coffee, not because she can burn someone with just a touch. He only ever finds her bizarre mannerisms charming—not scary, not off putting, not even after he gets his face burned off can he manage to say a bad word about her. Instead he says he's not sure he would have done anything differently.

Maybe it really was the tree, or the web, or some other cosmic factor that killed her. Or maybe someone saw her so painfully human for one brief, blinding moment that everything else simply burned itself out

having incredibly normal feelings about spending your entire life being locked into the concept of Destiny and then some guy with the most innocent of crushes on you comes along and tells you he doesn't believe in destiny. what a both freeing and terrifying thing to hear

I dunno, maybe the Irish can understand why a country might be mad at a bunch of settlers coming in and stealing land by force and starving the indigenous people 🤔

@bearotonin-international

but have you seen

Werewolves and vampires are often secretly fond of each other

"Sex and romance is what makes us human!"

What if I fuckin' bite you and take a chunk out of your arm? Hm?

Hey did you know they flirt with you on dating apps?

Wild thought. How did I not think this through

hot boiiii

Have y'all seen this 😭

genuinely very interested in what the people in the notes think the pilot was doing

this has to be what was going on yesterday bc i was 40 minutes early getting back and my homies were like hello i thought you were supposed to land at 6. and i was like. me too

Yeah I guess I’m obligated to say hiiiii. I fly airplanes. They’re so fucking safe it’s actually frustrating for us. I promise you that the administration who won’t even let hobby pilots fly for ten days after taking a Benadryl aren’t going to be letting commercial pilots do anything that will intentionally put you in danger.

The reason that flight times can be so different is mainly dependent on three things: the specific aircraft, the route, and the wind. I could go on tangents about all of these, but the point is that you can be flying the exact same plane on the exact same route at the exact same airspeed… and still get drastically different travel times due to the wind fucking with your ground speed.

(Ground speed = true air speed + wind component, if you care.)

And if you’re worried about pilots ramping that shit up to the maximum velocity… you would know if we did. Because we would have to point the nose down for the whole flight. The engines are already often operating at their maximum thrust any time you’re departing or ascending— but as my flight instructors have screamed at me since the day I started flying, “pitch for speed, power for altitude”. I’m not even sure you can hit the “never-exceed” velocities in a stable airplane without slamming the stick forward and nosediving that thang.

We also have this handy color coding on the air speed indicator! (And similar coding on the vertical tape versions in those newfangled glass cockpits.)

Lastly, almost every commercial flight is going to have two people up front. Even if the captain does something stupid, the first officer is there to say “hey, don’t do that” and make corrections accordingly. Even if they do agree to do something dumb, someone on the ground is going to tell them to cut it out. Nobody just gets to fuck around up there.

Flying is safe and fun. Mass transportation rules. Give me money so I can pay my Garmin Pilot subscription.

a few towns over there used to be a golf course with a bunch of statues and one of them was a huge orange dinosaur which became a local landmark. like this dinosaur was beloved. but its also important to note that its hideous. like really, really fucking ugly. and so more recently the golf course got removed and an apartment building was being built, and everyone was FURIOUS at the thought of them removing their precious, disgusting orange dinosaur, so the town had no choice but to leave it up. so now there is a brand new shiny apartment building with an anatomically incorrect orange dinosaur overlooking the horizon

i don’t think my description does it justice actually. here’s the man himself

@massachusetts-official

I am so glad the route 1 dino is getting so much love!!!!

That gazebo is so fucked

Are you sure gazebo is the correct word?

Are

you 

sure?

idk why you’re confused, that poor gazebo needs help

This has hit my dash three times… that final reblog made it worthy.

I only liked this for the gif

You cannot call for help, you must face the gazebo alone

Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs

jesus that is good to know.

Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten. 

REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit

my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies

Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!

AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS

this post just got so much better

THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVOURITE POST

this is emmett and cullen they are best friends

This is the greatest thing I’ve seen all day.

Dogs are truly angels.

so THATS why these cheetah ft dogo pics exist

the anxiety cat

Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great

this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like “being in an enclosed habitat” and “there’s a guy over there”.

so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.

Cheetah: oh god what’s going on how are we feeling weird spotless cheetah

Dog: :) fine, thanks

Cheetah: :) oh, okay

I remember hearing that in the satanic panic of the 80s a preschool (kindergarten?) was accused of making the children all take off their clothes and dance naked in some ritual in the span of an hour. and she, exasperated, was like. (Paraphrasing) “have you ever tried to get ONE toddler dressed? You think I could get a whole classroom undressed and redressed? In an hour??”
