A Prologue and Tale
The mediocre rantings of an unremarkable british teenager, procrastination poetry and other sometimes somewhat intellectual literary things.

almost-always-eventually-right:
Then, this one soldier who just wanted a cool photograph gets murdered by terrorists that are specifically targeting Tony Stark.
This was the moment that made Tony Stark reevaluate his entire life.
This was the moment that made Tony Stark cut the weapons program.
This was the moment that Tony Stark became Iron Man.
This was the moment that never truly left him.
Because it’s after this moment that Tony Stark proceeds to spend the rest of his life making peace-signs in photos, in honor of a young man who was more of a man than Tony could’ve ever dreamt of being; whose death Tony spent months agonizing over and trying to ensure wasn’t in vain.
Can you not what are you doing to my feels why are you always doing this.
im noping the fuck out why this why the tony stark fEELS WHY THIS WHY

La Cosecha / The Harvest (2011)
“Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. Zulema, Perla and Victor labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. The Harvest / La Cosecha profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida’s tomato fields to follow the harvest and provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of these children who struggle to dream while working 12 – 14 hours a day, 7 days a week to feed America.”
just goes to show you that not consuming animals does not mean you are supporting a system that is cruelty free
^^^^^^^
THANK YOU

75 C
70 C-
65-69 D
Anything below that is an F
is that real??
yup
Yup.
But the mark scheme is obsolete unless both assessments (and both teachers) are of equal difficulty (or equally good), how do you know that the UK papers aren’t harder? Our grade boundaries are constantly readjusted to ensure only a certain percentage get the higher grades. This also completely ignores the fact that UK exams often comprise 50% + (with the vast majority being either 60% or 100%) of the entire year of that qualification, and that it has been acknowledged that the US SATs system is much easier to do well in than the A-Levels required for a decent UK university…

Fun fact: Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia have a higher percentage of women in the government than the US & the UK
Another fun fact: Some people in the West tend to get very angry when you point this out to them..

ALL of this. Encourage people to try new words, to mess them up, to experiment with vocabulary, to learn complicated adjectives and verbs and nouns, because words are fun.
Also, don’t be a jerk.
AMEN SISTAH. PREACh

at monash university in melbourne the women’s department had a bake sale and cupcakes were one dollar for men and eighty cents for women and seventy cents for trans* people to represent the wage gap and heaps of guys kicked off about it being sexist and that’s how i finally understood how hypocritical and ignorant men’s rights activism is
to be fair that is pretty darn sexist… why cant stuff just be EQUAL for everyone?
