The funniest part about the secret history is that richard didn't even want to be a classics major. He just didn't want to take a new language class. He was like "hey can I take greek? I already know some" and that weird mf julian was like "only if you join our cult"

glad I sunk nine years of my life on this website just so I could experience the highly specific mix of neurochemicals currently giving me brain damage

[argonauticae]

maybe it is a testament to this unhinged shipwreck of a website that, upon awaking to the most genuinely demented set of information i could possibly imagine, this is where i turn. the last four years... forgotten. instagram stories? i don’t know her. Alexa play I’m Coming Home

you only unlock this emotion by being terminally online for the last seven years

what if the context was that u had a casual sex friend over to stay and that was the first physical human contact or company u have had since the start of lockdown bc u live alone and when he was leaving u started to tear up bc iSoLaTiOn and he probably thought u were crying abt him specifically and u tried to explain via whatsapp but it prob came out wrong and then u sent him a twitter thread of items in York Museum as pictures of judi dench and he left u on read for about 12 hours now hypothetically speaking

what do u guys do when u have massively and irretrievably embarrassed yourself in a sexual context and have no way of improving the situation and can feel your soul cracking a little more every time you think about it but also physically cannot stop yourself thinking about it asking for a friend

All your outfits are fantastic, do you have any stores you’d recommend where you get a lot of your looks?

aw thank you anon that’s so kind!! the answer sadly is very boring, most of my clothes are from zara, h&m, topshop, cos, monki and missguided - i just like to pair stuff together that hopefully makes them look cooler than they actually are lol. HOWEVER i have been trying to shop at different brands recently and i can recommend the following:

KENNEDY (glasgow-based 70s glam rock, where I got the blue and red dress)

Sezane (french-girl clothes)

Oysho (like... hippyish but in a way that I can bear?)

Tatty Devine (amazing jewellery) 

One day I will own something from Lisou even if I have to max my overdraft to do it

Oliver Bonas (look i know they are the waitrose of clothing but i like their hair accessories)

all my best work dresses are from hobbs - they’re a bit pricey but amazing quality and have all lasted me years. i also have quite a lot of hand-me-downs from my mum and jumpers that she’s knitted me - i need to do an entire post of those because they’re cool as fuck. for shoes,a surprising number of my shoes are from marks & spencers (they do really really cute shoes, sue me). almost all my earrings are either vintage or h&m because that’s the only way to get clip-on earrings, and i own like two bags, i am not a bag person. these are all very boring answers i know so if anyone has any fave small brands let me know so i can start spending money somewhere not owned by like the same three people lol

Today, Breonna Taylor would have turned 27. In honor of her, please consider donating to the gofundme her family has set up, and help those in her community who are fighting for her by donating to Louisville Community Bail Fund . Also, please sign petitions: including the petition set up by the Action PAC (it is aiming for 1 million signatures), the petition that’s been going around social media (it is aiming for 4.5 million signatures), the MoveOn petition (it is aiming for 600,000 signatures), and the ColorofChange petition (it has reached it’s goal of 750,000 signatures, but you can still sign). All of these petitions urge the Kentucky government to hire a special prosecutor to investigate the three police officers responsible for her death, to investigate the Louisville police department, to ensure the LMPD pays her family, and to get Congress to discuss the constitutionality of no-knock warrants. Additionally, visit the website set up by the political committee her family contacted, where you can make calls to key officials.

I got this from a Google Doc but I think it’s hard to access because of how many people who has requested it but here is the tweet with the links to every petition you need to sign (not just ones concerning Breonna) and other place to donate. There are templates provided on that document to help you write an email or make a call to certain officials. I provided links to their emails/websites, in case that’s easier to make use of than making phone calls.

HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

brooklyn bail fund

minnesota freedom fund

atlanta action network

columbus freedom fund

louisville community bail fund

chicago bond

black visions collective

richmond community bail fund

the bail project inc

nw com bail fund

philadelphia bail fund

the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme

george floyd’s family gofundme

blacklivesmatter.com

reclaim the block

aclu

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. between each time watch 3-5 other videos (mix it up) before restarting. this will ensure you aren’t marked as spam by youtube. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere but don’t mute the video itself. and let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

Hey, thought I’d share a few useful links here, if that can help a fraction. Jane Mount compiled a short-list of elementary reading on BLM and Anti-Racism HERE, and if you can’t buy them, you can still get your hands on a few:

James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time

Jesmyn Ward’s The Fire This Time

Ibram X Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America

Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me

& of course, you know where to find the donations lists (here by @mothpoem), a comprehensive (?) justice resource master-list (compiled by ambivalcnt) and here’s something super constructive shared by Arabelle Sicardi over on instagram: 26 ways to be in the struggle beyond the streets.

oh my god i absolutely love your outfits, they’re all so bomb! your looks are giving me strong villanelle vibes! so, you know, next time a man says he hates your outfit, just kill him

thank u so much!!! villanelle is a constant inspiration!!! and yes that is very much the strategy going forward

(also i still can’t fucking figure out how to do replies because I’m technologically illiterate but @cocoartistwrites @taxonomist @lesquatrechevrons @venusofsuburbia @antonsokolov @perfruarotio thank u all very much!! delighted that the suits are popular bc i am a co-ord ho)

[argonauticae]

in regard of your questions, the answer is that based on a representative sample of men in my life, men dislike and fear suits that “look like wallpaper”, “giant dresses”, “muppet jumpers”, pearls, “weird sleeves”, and earrings that do not match or are shaped like sparkly pineapples. unfortunately for them i LOVE AND CHERISH all of these things!!!!
