You wake up one day with the ability to freeze time at will for as long as you want with no repercussions. What’s the first thing you do with your newfound powers?
take a nap
i would literally always freeze time to sleep that way i would never waste time sleeping again. also. ALSO. FUCK MATE. Not feeling like going to work? Freeze time and chill until you do. In a shitty situation that has you in danger? Freeze time and walk away to safety. its. so useful. I literally. dream about this ability.
i only understand about 7% of what’s going on, anytime, anywhere, but if tony stark dies in infinity war, this bitch is gonna be found naked, swimming with the fishes in the middle of the ocean
I’m honestly so tired of seeing all the “Keith is a horrible leader. He should never become the black paladin because he’s reckless and he sucks!” on my dash… especially those that use the rescue scene in Season 1 Episode 1 as an example.
Funny enough, if you stop and really really pay attention to this entire scene, you will realize that it actually highlightsa lot of Keith’s traits that would make him a successful leader for Team Voltron (or any team, for that matter):
→ Despite it not being in his initial plan, Keith was able to think, act, and then successfully lead a group of people he didn’t even know in a strategic manner despite the obstacles and limitations that unexpectedly arose.
→ He was able to maintain his cool while in a pinch, even while everybody else was freaking out and screaming at him about everything. As someone who works very closely with the military and leads a team of people in combating casualties when they occur, I can attest that remaining calm in the face of chaos is an invaluable leadership skill. If the leader is calm, the rest of the team will more likely be able to calm down and focus on the task at hand.
→ He was able to direct this panicking group of people to take action in order to execute his plan (such as guiding Hunk to use his weight to help them steer the overloaded hover bike), which from personal experience I can tell you is not easy.
→ He was able to make split-second, confident decisions at just the right time in order to further their escape. I can’t emphasize enough how making solid decisions in a pinch can truly be the difference between success and failure, even between life and death. That being said…
→ He understood that risks were necessary if the team as a whole was to have a chance at success. Sure, people are complaining about how he drove himself and the others off the edge of a cliff, but it was all part of a plan he was able to develop on the fly. If you recall, not a single one of them got hurt.
→ Also tied to the bullet above, Keith was confident in his own skills to know he could execute said plan. He was confident enough to tell the others among their terrified screams to trust him.
In the end, Keith was able to rescue Shiro and lead everyone else to safety with no casualties on their end.
Some examples from later in the series also display other excellent leadership qualities that Keith possesses:
→ He is a team player. He understands that they all need to work together in order to achieve their common goal, and he also understands that personal desires must sometimes be sacrificed in favor of what is right for the greater good.
→ He recognizes others’ efforts and lets them know that they are noticed and appreciated, like when he tells Hunk how invaluable his efforts were during their mission to retrieve scaultrite from the belly of the Weblum.
→ The team’s current leader appears to know him better than anyone else (and definitely knows him better than we know Keith due to the very limited information we have on his past), and strongly believes that Keith is capable of leading the group.
Do none of these things count for anything? Because honestly, Keith sounds like an excellent albeit unwilling leader to me.
P.S. This is not a post claiming that Keith should be the Black Paladin, it is simply a post to prove that all those who say he has zero leadership skills are wrong.
I’m not here for all overwatch fans to be like “soldier 76 is a father figure to efi” when a) she already has two parents b) why would they even talk and c) the only people who might be a guide to her are Ana (someone who has had a young daughter that has been around war for a long time) Dva (a young girl in war that loves giant robots) and even though none of you will ever admit it :Torbjorn
Torbjorn with his loads of kids would be excellent. yes. I need this fic.
Just so we’re clear, the reason a lot of people protest climate change isn’t because they like trees and hiking. It’s because we’re making the Earth unlivable for all humans, and that humans in the poorest countries are the ones worst hit.
Protesting climate change ain’t a white privilege thing. The people protesting climate change the hardest are Indigenous people, Island nation people, and poor people in hot countries. They’re terrified.
People are dying because of climate change. Climate change isn’t just killing our planet, it’s killing people, and it’s those who live in poverty stricken areas that are dying first. More than 2,300 people died in India during their heatwave last year, and it’s only getting worse.
Temperatures in some areas in North Africa and the Middle East are reaching as high as 140 F/ 60 C during the summer. Scientists are projecting that by the end of the century, unless we take drastic measures, these parts of the world will be entirely uninhabitable. We will actually have refugees from these areas fleeing their homes because they physically cannot survive in that environment.

Sometimes I wonder why non English speakers are like this
because it’s a funny harmless joke at the expense of the world’s current lingua franca, whose native speakers often make fun of the ‘weird’ accents and pronounciation of people who very likely speak at least one more language then they do.
^^^^
Bitch👏how👏do👏you👏call👏these👏people👏"“non-english speakers”“👏👏👏👏👏 Literally the only language used in this post is English
So first I went past the beginning of this post thinking “damn, some people are having a very multilingual conversation I am impressed wow”
And then I realized the joke and went back to read it and this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
why did shipping turn into a contest of “most accurate” or “most likely to be canon” why do i have to get a 40-slide powerpoint, three defense lawyers, a fortune teller, and a background check of myself and my whole immediate family to say i want two ppl to have sloppy makeouts in a car
Also: when did shipping turn into a ‘which relationship is the most healthiest in real life terms.’ I mean I ship people because I think their story is interesting, not to get relationship advice.
Also, it feels weird saying this as a grey asexual who finds most porn squicky, but: while “it’s interesting” is not seen as a good enough reason to like something (which it is!), “it’s hot” is seen as a shameful one.
This is bad enough in and of itself (sex is not an inherently shameful motivation!) but gets especially frustrating when it comes to the idea that the only Good queer fiction as at most sexual as a representation of Queer Characters Exploring Their Feelings In A Way Which Happens To Be Sexual. The only people who, say, like looking at girls kissing because it’s hot are gross straight men. Good Queer People are just invested in knowing the two girls have a happy and healthy relationship. And then people say “it’s ok if you’re a queer girl looking at girls or a queer guy looking at guys” which is, amongst other things, not actually much comfort to me as a genderfluid person, in fact that kind of strict gender division makes me dysphoric. If I started identifying as 100% a man, would all my sexy femslash become automatically Problematic? Would it only be ok if I write an essay about it being an Exploration of Gender and Sexuality that just happened to involve hatemakeouts? Whose interests are being served by this pressure to make all depictions of (especially queer) sexuality “pure and wholesome”?
I’ve had a break from lifting for about 4 months now due to my circumstances (I’m too chicken to lift in a new environment which I don’t feel secure in). Yes I did lift a few things here and there in this span of four months, but probably less than 20 items I would say. Just a week more and I can’t wait to lift my heart out again. Clothes and make up, come to mama. Can’t wait to do a giant haul.
You’re a shitty, spoiled brat who fucks up the lives of store employees to get your hipster thrill. Find something actually useful get a thrill from or go fuck yourself.
Actually, just go fuck yourself, period
I read this and was like jfc let this sis bench press in peace but then I realized it was about shoplifting lmfao
Im still struggling to keep a roof over ny head and food in my belly. My laptop hasnt been working right and my tablet is dying. Please consider donating to my paypal to help me out a little

Even a dollar helps.
Could you maybe reblog if you even see this? Im in a real bad way and i know begging is lame but theres no way i can keep myself safe all alone. Ive tried asking family and ive tried asking friends but 1) im on my own because my stepdad is severely transphobic and 2) most of my friends are impoverished as well.
It’s way too late for this, but it’s important to note that NASA didn’t discover the new earth-like planets. It was a group of astronomers lead by a dude name Michaël Gillon from the University of Liège in Belgium. Giving NASA credit for this gives the United States credit for something they didn’t do, and we already have a problem with making things about ourselves so. just like…be mindful. I’d be pissed if I discovered a small solar system and credit was wrongfully given to someone else.
This is valid. NASA’s involvement in this was predominantly in the use of of Spitzer data to validate findings from a primarily European funded program (TRAPPIST). There were Americans (or at least, an American) on the team, but beyond it being a collaborative and data-sharing arrangement this isn’t primarily an Agency achievement.
I’m here for the Belgians in the tags and also…totally didn’t know trappist was the name of a beer, I fucking love learning shit on my own posts.
