"Who says Canada's buffalo are extinct? Here is a scene from Goose Lake, near Wainright, Alta, showing a part of the great herd on the government reserve there. Science is attempting to cross-breed these buffalo with cattle to produce a hard milch-cow for northern climes.

the thing is i really think the centerpoint of the roykeeleyjamie love triangle should be roy. simply bc i think the funniest ot3 dynamic on earth is "two of the most beautiful and charming people you'll ever meet lusting after Just Some Guy who lacks any charisma and has a terrible attitude" like outsiders, even with the knowledge that roy is a legendary football player, should be absolutely bewildered by jamie and keeley

Do you think Peter learned how to breakdance when he got his powers just to add flare to his movement?

i think peter parker had been trying and failing to breakdance long before the spider-bite, and is just happy to discover he finally has the upper body strength to actually pull it off now

Hi everyone,

For ADHD acceptance/awareness month, I thought I would share some famous athletes who have ADHD:

thinking about colin saying he doesnt want to be a spokesperson in contrast with sam embracing the opportunity to be a spokesperson, how even though being closeted in an extremely heterosexual and homophobic environment is a painful experience colin can blend in but thats never been an option for sam or any other black athlete. sam is obviously the type of person to speak up about injustice whether he's obligated to or not but in many ways he doesnt really have a choice, not in the way colin does as a white guy.

even within the queer community a cis masc white guy like colin is not going to experience the kind of bigotry a gender non conforming or trans queer person would. and thats not to say that being closeted is a privilege (it is so very very not) or that the homophobia people like colin face isnt awful and painful but it's just. different. and we see this all the time in real life, there are so many white queer celebrities who feel the same way as colin about being a "spokesperson" but really no one wants to be a spokesperson, no one wants to have to fight just for their right to exist but we're not exactly given a choice.

"LUTHER McCARTY, the latest "white hope," conqueror of Jim Flynn and Al. Palzer, who claims the white heavyweight championship of the world. McCarty, on the left, is talking to Tommy Burns, of Calgary, the former world's champion, who was defeated by Jack Johnson for the title." - from the Toronto Star. January 18, 1913. Page 21.

I find it hilarious that outside of the exysphere, Kevin is just some dude you see on the street. Like unless you’re into exy nobody is really gonna know who he is. He’s like “I’m Kevin Day” and the 48 yr old supervisor scanning his clothes is all “yes sir it’s on your card”
