““Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I’ve heard educated white people say, ‘slavery was 400 years ago.’ No it very wasn’t. It was 140 years ago…that’s two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That’s how recently you could buy a guy.””

- Louis C.K. (via 30thcenturyboy)

Sylvester Magee, the (probable) last American born into slavery died in 1971.

The last living child of former American slaves, Mississippi Winn, died in 2010.

Slavery in the territory that is now the United States lasted more than 330 years. We will be 330 years removed from slavery in the year 2195.

sense-of-escape:

This cat’s going to be a mother-effing GENIUS!

He seldom “watches tv” unless it’s a select few shows, yet when Hank Green is talking, Kitty’s intent with focus.

He follows Hank’s movements, paws at him a bit, and then slowly falls asleep to the sound of Hank’s voice.

I love this kid.

He’s only in Prisoner of Azkaban, and he has two lines:

“It’s among the darkest omens in our world. It’s an omen… of death.”

and don’t forget, the ever popular:

“It’s like trying to catch smoke… Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.”

It’s like okay, kid, we don’t know who you are, but go ahead and say the two most intense lines in the entire movie. I guess that’s cool. Whatevs.

This is Bem, the only student to ever successfully change Houses. In the third movie, he’s a Gryffindor. In the fifth he magically becomes a Ravenclaw. Bow down to Bem for he holds all the knowledge.

BEM IS OUR KING.

It’s because after he uttered those two lines everyone was like ‘DAYUM BEM’ and he was sent to Dumbledore’s office and Dumbledore was like I boy you twoo fuckin’ wise to be a lion you gonna be a eagle now. Get your ass in Ravenclaw.

and thats how it happened.

the end.

All hail Bem.

you can really tell we haven’t had a new book for over 5 years now can’t you?

All these beautiful bunnies (around 300) were rescued today (legally) from a rabbit farm. The rabbit farm was shut down for good. The cages are all going to be destroyed so no-one else can use them again. The bunnies are all staying at Big Ears Sanctuary in Tasmania.

a world of happiness

I’ve been slaving away long days and endless nights on this portrait series and today I finally get to debut my hard work. In fact, I am going to open a gallery show this summer containing works like this which I expect you all to attend. For now, though, prints of my crowning achievement are available in my sexy new shop (my old shop couldn’t handle it.) If you don’t buy the entire set I can only assume you don’t appreciate true beauty.

when I was in year 7 I was really weird and I had a massive crush on this boy and I said one day to a friend ‘i want to pee in his toilet’ and then a year later I was dating the same boy I had a crush on and I needed the toilet so I peed in his toilet and I only just remembered this so the moral or the story is dreams do come true
