I’m reading up on chocolate frog cards in the Harry Potter universe, for reasons, and-
“Came up with the ever changing floor plan.”
Really, Ravenclaw? Really?
“You know what this school needs? To not make any sense-”
“Rowena, I don’t think-”
“Exactly, you don’t think. I’m brilliant and this is perfect. Moving staircases, walls that think they’re doors-”
“But how will the students get to class?”
“They’ll have to figure it out.”
“…”
“Everyday. They will figure it out everyday. My students will live in a tower and navigate these stairs every time.”
“The stairs move! This doesn’t seem safe…I think I’ll put my common room in the basement, Rowena.”
“Ditto. I think the dungeons would be safer…”
“…My kids will brave these stairs. I’ll take the other tower.”
#Rowena snipes that ‘cunning’ means Salazar’s students should be able to handle the moving architecture #Salazar snipes back that ‘cunning’ means knowing when and how to avoid unnecessary bullshit #meanwhile Godric is just yelling PARKOUR! and Rowena is all That’s Not What I Meant #Helga would like her students to make it to class on time and without any broken bones #ninety percent of the reliable secret passages were a team effort by Helga and one of the others #to make sure the house elves could get around all right (via @mzminola)
#i feel like the collaboration was probably hufflepuff and slytherin #in the only time they ever worked together #helga: students and house elves can move safely!#salazar: more places to hide snakes #salazar is like we should make these accessible to people with no legs #helga is like i mean i agree but why are you being so nice about this #salazar is like no reason hey I’m just gonna make some of these rely on snake language for fun #do you think a fifty foot snake would fit in this passage asking for a friend (via @dinosauriaawesome)
i’m literally crying this is 100% what happened
(hey tumblr please don’t delete the previous people’s comments like you did the last time i added someone’s tags to a post mmkay)

Some people seem to be confused about Bernie Sanders and the label “democratic socialist.” Luckily for them, Sanders is going to explain the term and its principles in a big way.

Lost in the Margins (9/29/15): A Delaware councilman and a local NAACP are calling for a federal investigation into the death of Jeremy McDole. Police were called out to respond to a report that a man shot himself in a parking lot. When they arrived, they found McDole bleeding in his wheelchair. Multiple officers fired at least 10 shots into Jeremy, claiming his was waving a gun at them menacingly. Witness videos challenged this narrative (warning, the video features very graphic images) however, showing a clearly injured McDole without a gun and struggling with commands. Police begun to revise their account of what occurred. On Monday, they announced finding a gun by his side, instead of in his hands, and have just stopped short of saying “he got what he asked for.”
McDole sits at a unique intersection often ignored in the conversation on police brutality: violence against people who are potentially suffering through a mental illness and those who are a living with a physical disability. He also is one on a growing list of people who the police were originally called out to help, but instead were killed (like James Anderson several days later). These victims of state violence are often the most convenient to label as worthy of lethal force, as many do in fact have a weapon. However, even when police are aware of the potential mental state of these citizens, they do nothing to adjust their approach/tactics. In essence, people like McDole are doubly pathologized, not just for being black but for also being sick. More must be done to uplift the stories of Tanisha Anderson, Janisha Fonville, Lavall Hall, James Anderson, and countless others who have been stolen from us. Rest in Power. We fight for you now too. #staywoke #farfromover
McDole was also killed on the same day as unarmed 19-year old Keith McLeod (who was murdered by police after pointing his fingers like a gun).
I have a feeling this might be the last straw? Fuck this.

a darkened auditorium with 264 silent people in the seats. on the stage, me, sitting on a stool, lit by a spotlight, the only light in the theatre. i hold up a photo of my cat, 10 people applaud, two or three hold up photocopies of the same photo, the rest do nothing, watching, waiting.
I love this description of tumblr.
