One of my favorite historical tidbits is that Arab traders, for centuries, fooled Europeans into thinking cinnamon came from a rare, vicious and fearsome cinnamon bird.

The belief was so prevalent, in fact, that the mythical cinnamon bird shows up in the writings of Herodotus and Aristotle, all the way into medieval European manuscripts where it’s illustrated in all its fierce, cinnamony glory:

Pliny the Elder expressed skepticism of the bird in his writings, rightly assuming that it was a tale invented to keep control on the trade and prices by reducing competition, but the belief was already so widespread that it persisted in many areas into the early 1300’s.

the difference between Haymitch and Katniss's narration is so funny. Haymitch would give us everyone's social security number if he knew them, while Katniss wouldn't even tell us her mom's name.

I really have no idea what I’m going to do about the debt I’m in like sure I can pay off the overdraft once I finish the degree and start working but what do I do until then? even IF sfe give me funding it’ll barely cover what I owe for accom in college and even though student finance r the ones that messed up I’m the one that’s spending hours talking to them online instead of revising for my exams and like by the time they sort it if they sort it I still won’t get that time back? never mind the fact I do not physically have access to any money in the meantime. I really fucking hate student finance it’s so fucking broken and I really have no idea what to do I’m not allowed to have a job during term time and i could try to apply for hardship but that could take weeks to go through anywho it’ll be fine I have noodles and a nicotine addiction what could go wrongggggg

unironically read this and assumed it was referring to Jeremy strong

jeremy who fucks men left and right is the same guy who forgets his own name when jean stands between his legs and whose brain short-circuits when jean’s lips brush his cheek

I’m so embarrassed by the person I was a year ago. like yes I’m proud of them for doing what they needed to do to survive and yes I feel so much compassion but also are you sure you had to do it like that? couldn’t you have survived a different way? it was such a nice day - why couldn’t I have noticed that sooner?

not quite the same thing but recently rewatched world war Z (the zombies are eating my brain rn idk what to tell u) and like not only pro American military but also the pro israelness of it all is insane. there’s no reason for it. doesn’t make the plot better in anyway. but it’s there.

you really can’t unsee american military propaganda in movies like once you start thinking about it you are doomed to be the friend who’s too political when people put on an action movie for the rest of your life

an example for those confused: want to stop vaping? imagine how embarrassing it would be to survive the initial apocalyptic event and then suffer from popcorn lung like? not only is it so unsexy and by law as a survivor of the apocalypse you’re required to be sexy - but also if it’s a zombie situation being quiet is so important. imagine the popcorn lung being the reason your discovered. imagine surviving the apocalypse only to die because of an addiction to flavoured air. couldn’t be me. haven’t bought one since.

current strategy for getting things done is considering how it would effect me in the apocalypse happened tomorrow

where did we go wrong that we’re not more excited about making haymitch Abernathy in love with a man? like the ao3 pickings are so slim. what is the hesitation? does alcoholism prevent him from taking it up the ass? genuine question what am I missing why isn’t he gayer?
