The fact that we don't have a Clueless-style Northanger Abbey adaptation where Catherine Morland is the most heartbreakingly earnest and unselfaware teenage fangirl with one of the longest self-insert fics on Ao3 is actually a tragedy

Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.
#ours was i hate you/you hate me/let's gang up and kill barney#then a shot rang out and barney hit the floor/no more purple dinosaur#there was also a version that ended with yippee do dah barney's dead#the third line was something about shot him in the head but i don't remember the exact words#i don't remember a joy to the world that involved barney though#just joy to the world the teacher died#i realize it's tumblr and no one wants to say where they lived/which elementary school they went to#but it would be interesting to track where each variant occurred and the age of the people remembering#children's folklore#<- i guess?

Jane Austen gets a lot of credit (correctly, obv) for writing banger romance and biting satire about class but I don't think we spend nearly enough time talking about how she absolutely clowns on vanity and self-importance.

Poor Mrs. Peel really does spend the whole of this episode stressing over Steed.

thoughts on Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau?
It genuinely doesn't even compute. It gives me a feeling of unreality. Lots of things nowadays make me feel like "we can't be living in the real world, this can't be happening" but this is by far the most lowest stakes thing that makes me feel that way
#talking about this with colleagues a few days ago i said that the trudeaus have always reminded me a bit of the kennedys#but in a particularly canadian way?#like most of our politicians' personal lives are generally considered their own business unless they make it public#(peter mackay i'm looking at you and your post-breakup sad-sack farming photos. loser.)#but somehow from pierre onward the trudeaus have been a public presence not just politically but gossip-wise?#like i watch german news semi-regularly to keep up my comprehension skills#and somehow the trudeau-perry dinner date was a story there??? like???#i can think of no other former canadian politician a) who would be likely to be out with a pop singer#b) whose being out with a pop singer would make the news in germany#anyway somehow this is going under my#cdnpoli#tag#dafuq
