i need some victory today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some days you just need a velociraptor on your side.
“It might be nice, it might be nice,
To have a velociraptor on your side”
You get ‘on’ a bus or train, but you get ‘in’ a car or taxi
How to not mix them up (for those who might be learning English): If you walk upright when boarding, you’re getting on. If you sit into a seat from the door, you’re getting in.
So, for example, you also get *on* a plane or boat, and *in* a carriage.
Oh, that is a good distinction.
English is my native language and this blew my mind

This is some absolutely brilliant editing, y'all.
the FLAVOR
please please please don’t attack me for saying this but the normalisation of teenagers and college students smoking weed is becoming a problem
to elaborate, the other day i was visiting a college which has a bit of a reputation, as many colleges do, for having a lot of weed. and i mentioned one of my concerns for attending, which was the fact that if i inhale marijuana secondhand smoke, i have an asthma attack and physically can’t breathe. and i mentioned this to a couple prospective students and i both times got the reaction “it’s ok; you can just use edibles!” and i didn’t really say this at the time, but the fact is, i don’t want to. i don’t want to interact with weed at all in college, and—at least at my high school—that’s considered strange. and i honest-to-god believe that is majorly fucked up.
and here’s the thing. even expressing this sentiment is hard. because when i try to talk about the consequences of doing weed (yeah believe it or not there are some) or even my reasons for not wanting to do weed, people assume i believe myself to be morally better than someone who does do weed, and i don’t. i don’t feel superior to anyone, especially not for a reason as stupid as that. the thing is, i don’t want to use my asthma as an excuse for not wanting to vape, but i feel like i have to. i don’t want to use my asthma as an excuse for not wanting to smoke, but i feel like i have to. and i hate this aspect of the culture i’m in. i hate that i have to defend the position of “i don’t think eighteen-year-olds should smoke weed.” i hate that it’s considered normal—even cool—to consistently put recreational drugs in your body from ages 13-24.
since making this post i’ve been called a bitch and a narc, which i think really tells you something.
Kent State University
“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”
“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”
Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol
Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…
Another picture from Kent State.
But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.
Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there
What in the absolute fuck
When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…
I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up
I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.
When I was 21.
I learned about it after I started college, and then it was only because the school i chose was Kent State.
