My grandmothers middle name is Mabel. We were in the car with my cousin and she was talking about. She went “maybe it’s Maybelline” and lost it. She said “Score” multiple times while throwing her hands up. She’s such a child. She’s 16

we have really allowed cis women to get FAR too comfortable being transphobic toward trans men.

just two mermen casually talking about the inevitable death

this one didn’t get a lot of love so I’m posting it here, took me over 16 hours I think

i kinda feel bad for oedipus b/c everyone assumes he chose to fuck his mom when in fact he went out of his way to avoid it. he left his hometown and distanced himself from his parents because he was afraid he would somehow get tricked into fucking his mom. everything could have been avoided if his adopted parents told him he was adopted.

instead of inktober I'm doing beautifultober!!!!

day one.......

YOU are beautiful!!!!!!!

I unapologetically hate Snape and Dumbledore. I understand that they both did good things in their lives. But a lot of times, people pretend the good outweighs the bad, so they’re good people, and that annoys the crap out of me.

Dumbledore

knowingly left Harry in an abusive home so that Harry “wouldn’t get a big head”. Are you kidding me? He was locked in the cupboard with bARS ON THE WINDOWS! Starved, emotionally abused, and literally locked in a cupboard for weeks at a time at one point. How is that okay? I dare anyone to say that he didn’t know what was happening- he’s Dumbledore. It literally said “cupboard under the stairs” on the letter.

ditched Sirius in Azkaban, just because he had no use for him. He let an innocent man go to hell-prison because he couldn’t be bothered to stop it.

then locked the recently freed Sirius up in his childhood home (where he ALSO was abused) with no explanation. This one he has a little bit more of an excuse for, but really.

the way he treated Sirius in general, tbh

this one has been talked about a lot and is basically just a big joke by now, but the way he treats Slytherins. Not just with the house cup (although that sucked) but the constant stereotyping and fear mongering of an entire group of children

again with the big joke thing, but clearly does not care about the safety of the children at Hogwarts. Pretty much everyone has seen those posts, so I’ll just leave the example there

constantly sends child Harry on dangerous missions with little to no explanation or information. Snape said it best “…have been raising him like a pig for the slaughter.” He even actively encourages him to die for the cause.

Snape

oh man, where do I start?

starts off strong; picks on Harry out of all of the students and embarrasses him on the first day. Is an AWFUL teacher who bullies kids he doesn’t like and blatantly favors the ones he does.

tried to kill Neville, a literal child’s frog just because he messed up in class.

bullies him so much his worst fear is his teacher. That’s effed up.

the whole way he treats Neville in general, tbh

remember that asshole “friendzone” guy everyone hates. That’s him. Yells the equivalent of rascist things at his crush because she dared to like another guy.

is deeply involved in the dark arts as a student at Hogwarts, then victimizes himself when James hurts him. Don’t get me wrong, James was a complete ass and stereotypical bully sometimes, but really. Dude, you were working with Voldy for real at the time, who was advocating for the extinction of an entire race. Don’t give me that.

outed Lupin as a werewolf for something a friend of his did in his teens. Lupin was involved with the resistance from day 1 and is the high king of my heart, I will never forgive him for this. Also knew about Sirius.

was obsessed with a dead woman for like 15 years and acted like an ass to her kid for YEARS for no reason other than he didn’t like the dude she married. Petty af

Again, this doesn’t erase all of the good things they did- they legit helped some people. They also were assholes. Not mutually excusive. End rant!

So Your Temperate Home is Suddenly an Arctic Hellscape

As -10F hits area’s of the US who’ve never seen such temperatures in living memory, I wanted to give some tips from a Minnesotan who’s lived with these temps as a part of my life for 37 years.

1) Don’t Get Cocky. People used to these temps may laugh at our southern neighbors freaking out about the cold because yes, some parts of the US get such temps regularly every year. These people are being ignorant assholes. Our houses are mandated to have insulation that few of your homes will have. We pretty much all have huge puffy coats, and have well established winter weather gear drives for homeless and poor folks every year. We have expensive, well equipped infrastructure for cope with these temps and with large amounts of snow. You don’t. When it comes down to it, Minnesotans know to respect the cold temps- it’s just that a lot of the ways that do it are so commonplace as to be invisible to those who already have these habits.

2) Don’t go out wet. Dry your hair or stay inside. You will loose a lot of heat if you’re wet. Same for sweat, and wet diapers. And clothes with snow on them are now WET CLOTHES. Change into dry clothes as soon as possible.

3) If you have a shitty car battery or a car that sometimes struggles to start, then try not to use it. You’re unlikely to get the kind of temps where it’s impossible to start an engine (I’ve only experienced those temps a few times. Once my eyelashes froze shut and I almost froze to death in my own back yard. Don’t be like young me. Respect the cold.) If your car doesn’t start, you could be stranded somewhere, and realistically your area’s emergency services may be pretty overrun. 

4) Very cold air doesn’t hold moisture well. Plan for extra hydration for people, pets, and plants. Even if your staying in- most home heaters pull cold air from outside, then dry it out even MORE in the process of heating it. Dehydration is a thing. Even if your home’s heater has a humidifier attached to it (if you’re not sure, then it probably doesn’t.) it’s a good idea to drink extra water. Right now I have a few pots of water just left out by heaters to evaporate as much as possible. My mom used to just heat huge camping pots on the stove all day in cold temps. Remember, dry nasal passages really muck up your bodies ability to fight airborne illness. This is not a great time for that.

5) Help out homeless folks in your area in any way you can. These temps can and do kill. And since we have more evictions than any society can conscionably defend this year, we have high numbers of homeless people. Which means area supports for unhoused folks are often underfunded and over-taxed. 

6) Let your faucets drip. I know nobody likes to waste water but if your pipes freeze they will literally explode. Your home will flood. My mother’s kitchen got completely destroyed and it traumatized my childhood dog. Justa  bit of moving warm water will safeguard you from that.

7) Do. Not. Burn. Propane. Indoors. 

8) Plan for potential power outages. Ice on the lines can cause this and again, your infrastructure isn’t prepped for this. Unplug anything in your home you’re not using to do your part to help prevent rolling blackouts.

9) Driving on ice is a SKILL. Your roads may be filled with people who do not have that skill. Please please, stay off the roads if you can- even if you have this skill these roads will not be prepped and will, again, be full of people who don’t know how to do this because it just hasn’t come up that much in their life.

Stay safe and stay kind, folks!
