That’s not quite true. The reporter behind the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered.
To say the Panama Papers accomplished nothing is an insult to Daphne Galizia’s memory. Her work, and the work of the hundreds of other journalists who contributed to the Papers, changed the world.
Disinformation like this is designed to discourage you, to make you feel you’re powerless against the monsters of the world. They want you to feel that way, because they are terrified of your power to make change.
Take your power back. Demand better. Keep fighting for a better world, because a better world is possible.
Here's a compilation of the refs I've been using for the tattoos on Blackbeard's right arm, for y'all to use also 💕
thinking about Luffy from the perspective of an everyday schmo in his world is hilarious. And I don’t mean “I heard he was 20 feet tall” etc., though that is still really funny. I mean think about what’s public knowledge on him.
this guy comes out of nowhere, declares war on the fucking government, blows up the centre of their justice system, commits basically the biggest crime you can commit by punching super-royalty and somehow gets away with it, breaks into the most secure prison in the world, and breaks right back out again just to jump feet-first into the biggest war in recent memory, during which you find out oh hey his dad’s also trying to overthrow the government, his grandpa’s a war hero who works for said government, the pirate king’s kid is his adopted brother, and one of the freaking Four Emperors gives him his hat back. A few weeks later he breaks into the headquarters of the world’s biggest military (which is actively hunting him btw) just so he can ring a bell, and Roger’s right hand man is there helping him.
And then he fucking disappears for two years.
Suddenly he comes back, teams up with a Warlord of the Sea to save some country you’ve never heard of by beating up a different Warlord (who was also Pablo Escobar) and he’s being publicly hailed as a hero?? then he joins forces with Al Capone, a bunch of mermen and the villains from your comic books to try and assassinate one of the Emperors at her own tea party, and then he runs away and takes out a completely different Emperor while his friends take out the first one. Here’s his crew:
and also his other brother is Ché Guevara. absolutely buckwild. how do you cope

The common Archangel.
Humans from the neighboring villages pay tribute to the newly born Cherubs in the form of rye bread and simple cornmeals.
Cherubs stay in their infant stage for over 50 years and need constant attention before reaching adulthood. Their songs are said to be beautiful and differ for each listener.
Angels huddle with their brood under a halo nest adorned with the branches of the most sacred cemetery trees.
Brood parasitism occurs amongst different angel species, particularly from the Genus Bypochtbonia. The angel will snatch the cherub and replace it with a near identical offspring. The angel parents will then raise the parasite baby, unaware of the exchange.
Cherub parasites give out an incessant wail known as the ‘song of flesh,’ persistently demanding human souls to feed upon. Their fits of hunger are insatiable and the angel parents have no choice but to accommodate the parasite to the point of bursting.
Once the stomach lining of the cherub infant bursts, it leaves the nest to hunt for more human souls. Over time, a new intestinal system grows, along with a feathered wingspan to help it glide short distances.
Archangels build large circular structures embedded with reflective glasses and crystals to ward off predators from their territory.
Most ‘ophanim arcs’ are built meticulously from dead trees and woven with vines. The arcs cause a feeling of unease in most life forms.
i also wanna yell about gwendoline christie’s performance as lucifer because she’s just astonishingly good. so many people approach the role emphasizing the fallen aspect of the fallen angel, and she goes out of her way to emphasize that she’s a fallen angel. the way she treats dream with the utmost hospitality coated in poison, and fucks him over as much as she can with the same hollow pleasant smile on her face. the way she can’t outdo dream’s “I am hope” because to kill hope would be to kill her own hopes of one day going home. the way she literally gasps with tears in her eyes when dream calls her on that. and when the mask finally drops, and she tells him in no uncertain terms that one day, Hell will destroy him, it’s fucking personal and that she’ll be holding the knife herself. i can’t, honestly. give her all the awards.
That was what I would think every time someone would grumble about Gwendoline being cast, before the show was released. I was baffled that people who hadn’t seen her performance had already decided they wouldn’t like it.
asked my friend why the @ symbol is called (spider) monkey in german and polish and they sent me this drawing
literally cannot stop laughing at this
The “take place tonight” in the middle of the elder god monologue is the most ominous part.
“We cannot communicate what imaginable horror you will face, but it will be tonight.”

Hozier singing trad song “The Parting Glass”
Other celebrities: (goopily drip upon, of all things, “imagine”)
Us: (call for the guillotine)
Hozier: (a bittersweet lad, sings an ancient song to the departed)
Us: play this over silent, crisply shot black and white footage of the empty streets and silent landmarks. cut with shots of our drowning hospitals. An acceptable future documentary of 2020 that we will allow.
My audio processing isnt working in the brain. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the crud he’s saying because all i can make out are sounds not words
Saw your post while skimming through the reblog and did not see an answer, so for accessibility! Hozier is singing the following:
Of all the money that e’er I had / I spend it in good company
And of all the harm that e’er I done / Alas it was to none but me
For all I’ve done for want of wit / to memory now I can’t recall
So fill to me the parting glass / good night and joy be with you all.
Of all the comrades that e’er I had / they’re sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e’er I had / they’d wish me one more day to stay
But as it falls unto my lot / that I must go and you must not
I’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call / good night and joy be with you all.
when i first read the lyrics to this a year or so ago, i always thought it was a sad song (contrary to what google says about it being a pub song), and hearing this solemn and heartfelt rendition by hozier always makes me tear up
Google’s technically right, it is a pub song, but not in the sense you’re thinking. This is what I call an “end of the night” song - these tend to be somber, nostalgic, and contain references to a final drink/toast eg “the parting glass” usually either in memory of death, or in the knowledge of death to come. Others include Auld Lang Syne and Health to the Company. They’re “let’s drink to old times because we might not all meet here again” songs.
taking any college course on societal issues in the united states is just like: *realizes its bc of reagan* *traces the cause back to reagan* *discovers the original policy came out of the reagan administration* *finds factual inaccuracies ignored by the reagan administration that are then used to push policy* *finds statistics that show the severity of the aids crisis as well as the beginning of mass incarceration of poc were caused by reagan* *hates reagan*
