red delicious apples are a waste of agricultural resources

They literally only exist so much because baby boomers liked how pretty they were and didn’t care that they were disgusting. By the 90s grocery stores routinely bought them and threw them away.

“…the paradox of the Red Delicious: alluring yet undesirable, the most produced and arguably the least popular apple in the United States. It lurks in desolation. Bumped around the bottom of lunch bags as schoolchildren rummage for chips or shrink-wrapped Rice Krispies treats. Waiting by the last bruised banana in a roadside gas station, the only produce for miles. Left untouched on hospital trays, forlorn in the fruit bowl at hotel breakfast buffets, bereft in nests of gift-basket raffia.” -Sarah Yager, The Awful Reign of the Red Delicious

Granny Smith, but my dad actually likes those red apples that turn to mulch in your mouth. Never understood it.

science side of tumblr why do all of us mentally ill ppl like storms so much

@revelationed said:
Rain/moving water has negative ions which cause a biochemical reaction that reduces stress. It’s the same reason people feel more at peace on beaches or by waterfalls. We spend most of our lives surrounded by positive ions created by electronics and recirculated air. A study by Columbia University showed that negative ions can have the same affect as antidepressants.

thank u science side of tumblr

ARE YOU SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW

If Evanna Lynch ever poses nude or semi-nude (or has a nude scene in a movie), I expect that it will be very classy and artsy and not degrading in any way. She does seem to enjoy stepping outside of her comfort zone, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen in the future. And at the risk of sounding pervy (I’m a girl, btw), she is quite beautiful, so I do think it would be rather pleasant to look at.

If you say so. I’d probably pass out if that ever happened (she is beautiful after all, like you said). But it is true that it would be done very tastefully if it ever did happen. Evanna Lynch is a good actor with a firm understanding of her own mind, so I hope that she wouldn’t be forced into doing something she wasn’t comfortable. 

Tagging in @justsaya and @gaylittlepieceofsh1t for their own thoughts on the matter. Please keep your responses tasteful, of course. 

Thanks for the message, anon. 

I feel that nude photography like any form of photography can be crass or tasteful but in the end I feel it’s Evanna’s decision on how she wants her body to be out there.

If in a movie the scene can be degrading too depending upon who she is playing and she shouldn’t be judged for that because she is not her characters. Although she IS Luna Lovegood.

I adore Evanna and I feel that her body shouldn’t be speculated on too much.

Agree with you on that @gaylittlepieceofsh1t. There is a fine line between artistic “tasteful” nudity and flat-out exploitative nudity that only seeks to gain attention for the movie/tv show/project (although that’s hardly the female actor’s fault). Female actors have to deal with their bodies being judged just as much (if not more so) than their acting, which is incredibly sexist. 

@justsaya Fair point. It’s not my really my thing (what with me being on the ace spectrum and all), but fair enough I suppose.

If you can’t imagine Ron Weasley belting out the entirety of Queen’s back catalogue, then you probably need to. 

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again; Bohemian Rhapsody Is Ron’s anthem. Both within the story and fandom.

(I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me)

He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity 

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here! 

If this^ doesn’t remind you of the tent fight you’re crazy.

“Nobody loves me” also feels like a punch in the gut when you remember how 70% of fanfics involving Ron bash him for being him.

On the upside, here’s some other Queen lyrics that fit Ron quite well.

(’We Are The Champions’)

I’ve paid my dues
Time after time.
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime.

And bad mistakes‒
I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through.

(’Somebody To Love’)

(he works hard) everyday (everyday)
I try, and I try, and I try

But everybody wants to put me down 

….

I’m OK, I’m alright (he’s alright, he’s alright)
I ain’t gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I’m gonna be free, Lord!

I always thought that I want to break free from Queen was another song that fitted Ron during his relationship with Lavender.


You’re so self satisfied I don’t need you
I’ve got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free 

I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it’s for real
I’ve fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I’ve fallen in love


I can’t get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby

God knows, got to make it on my own

So baby can’t you see
I’ve got to break free
I’ve got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free 


I also think that Crazy Little Thing Called Love, reflects a some of Ron and his relationship with Hermione when he just found that he was in love with her (especially after the Yule Ball incident):

This thing called love, I just can’t handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain’t ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

It’s a very beautiful thing that my little cinnamon roll has an entire soundtrack by Queen.

Like, seriously: The billions, the fame, the golden penthouse, the young beautiful wife, gorgeous mistresses, healthy kids and grandchildren, successful NBC TV show,  etc. were somehow *not* enough to make him happy and content?

Sigh. Some people can never be pleased. 

This is what is driving Trump crazy, if you ask me. 

Trump is not dumb. Even James Comey acknowledged he seemed reasonably intelligent at points.

He knows and is self-aware enough to know he had a terrific life before. And threw it all away. 

Now he’s stuck in a mess of his own making.

Hey there, just throwing out the fact that I am in a very abusive situation that has made it impossible to live at home, so much so that I am actually going to have to move from NY to Seattle.

I have no access to the little money I have in the bank because of my parents regularly interfere with my bank account and there is also the fact that they stole my debit card.

I am not able to get a legal job due to both my deteriorating mental health and lack of government identification (for it was taken by parents and I am unable to locate it.)

I usually rely on sex work to get by, however, I guess the client I could call my SD, a man who has abused me from a young age, has threatened me into marrying him and refuses to pay his ‘fiancé’ for sex. We are ‘engaged.’

I would usually look for new clients, however, since this man proposed to me, he is strict and controlling when it comes to who I can do business with, which is really no one but him. I am no longer ‘allowed’ to sleep with others. He lives very close so I am afraid he will notice if I go out with a new client. That fear has kept me from reaching out to other men and, by proxy, getting paid for escort work.

I have simply got a paid, one way ticket to Seattle for February 10th and around $9.00 in quarters hidden away in an eyeglasses case somewhere so I would be so grateful if you could help in any way to get me out of this abusive situation and to safety, so that I could get away from an abusive household and an abuser of six years who plans to marry me.

If I have to stay here in New York, where I am constantly unsafe, I am unsure what I will do. I am begging you for help.

Any donations would be essentially money to fund my survival in Seattle, such as food costs, surprise fees, money for necessities like contact lenses and other medical items and just money to rely on in case I run into an emergency. It would put me at ease.

My PayPal: fateapocryphas@gmail.com.
I cannot stress the fact that anything could help me right now.

Thank you very much.

Hi, I currently have around $34.00 ($13.00 of that were from this donations post) to my name, disregarding the $25.00 I must pay to take along a checked bag and my flight is in just four days.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help out a little. Having money in the case of an emergency or accident would be very comforting, and I could use some stability, seeing as I am leaving 80% of my belongings on the opposite coast of America.

Imagine being a kid in school. Your teacher comes up with an idea for class picture. Every student will draw pictures of their friends.

Everyone starts drawing enthusiasticly, and can’t wait to see what they look like in the drawings. When pictures are ready you notice that popular students have more pictures than rest, but nobody has done a drawing of you. The teacher notices that too, and asks if someone would do your picture. To your horror the class clown takes the job, and comes up with a caricature of you. Others are laughing, but you’re not. You feel awful. The teacher notices that. and asks again someone to do a drawing of you. One of the ‘good students’ starts drawing, but the result is forced. It’s just a drawing of a generic child wearing a shirt of same color as you a wearing. There’s no spirit, no soul in it. You start sensing that the class is geting frustrated with you. They want to be done with this. You ask quietly the teacher if you could do a drawing yourself.

After school your classmates confront you. Why did you have to make such a big deal out of it? The first picture was funny. The second picture was just fine! The drawing you did yourself wasn’t right, do you think you are that good-looking? There were other kids who got only one or two pictures of themselves. Who are you to demand special treatment? Maybe there would have been a picture of you if you weren’t such annoying baby, nobody likes you anyway, and nobody’s going to if you keep on being like that, you don’t deserve a drawing!

This could be story of bullying, but it’s also about how I see portraying LGBTQ+-people and PoC in mainstream entertainment.

Thanks to Fandoms and Feminism for inspiration!

This is a great metaphor. 

This is the most accurate fucking post I’ve ever seen in my life oh my god.

This is incredible. A perfect metaphor. And it really points out how fucking childish it is to insist that representation does not matter.

ACCURATE
