There had always been a Baggins in Bag End. More to the point, there had always been a Baggins. Bilbo Baggins had been there from the beginning, since before the small folk crossed the Misty Mountains and before the great Drowning of the West.

Dragon!Bilbo AU in which Bilbo is transformed into a Hobbit by Yavanna towards the end of the War of Wrath and is commanded to live amongst her children. Thousands of years later Gandalf ventures to the shire expecting to find a grandchild of Bilbo (whom he had met some decades before) to recruit as a burglar, and instead finds Bilbo himself, and on the same garden bench, no less!

This is why we need to protect transwomen of color at all cost. All of these beautiful people where murdered this year, and they represent only the most public and brutal murders of transwomen all over the world.  This is why cisphobia isn’t a real fucking thing, this is why I hate you because your cissexist transphobic actions lead to the deaths of beautiful and brilliant people.

Oh my god…

friendly reminder that native americans actually suffer more police brutality & police murders than any other ethnicity

friendly reminder that we got our right to vote after black ppl did

friendly reminder that up until the 19-fucking-90’s our women would have their tubes forcibly tied by doctors after they gave birth, as a way to get rid of us

Friendly reminder that most of our sacred sites have been polluted by mining, illegal dumping, or radiation. AND EVEN MORE OF THEM HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM US

friendly reminder that there is genetic evidence that native american’s have always been native to america and the land bridge theory is completely debunked & the land bridge theory is still only being taught to make white people’s genocide and theft seem justified.

friendly reminder that there is less than one percent of us left here.

I’m gonna do this. Travel around the US with three of my bestfriends.

Wow, I’d love to do this

Well, let’s assume we buy a school bus, as pictured.  As a fun aside, my uncle owns a used car lot and has a school bus there.  It’s pretty neat.

Anyway, where were we.  Right, school bus.  Let’s say we go for a standard fare, type C school bus.

We said we wanted an older model, so let’s say a 1996 S-Series, which is built on the International 3800 bus chassis by Navistar International.  This is probably the kind most of us grew up with.

Now a cursory search say’s you’re probably looking at $5,500 for the bus, which isn’t bad.  But let’s keep in mind gas prices.  From what I can see, gas mileage for a school bus can range from 5 mpg to 12 mpg, so let’s take the midpoint and go with 8 mpg.

Let’s say we want to take this bus on a half decent road trip.  Let’s say, Seatle to Los Angeles to Dalas to Chicago to Boston.  This trip hits most major cities along the way. Really, an ideal roadtrip to cover all your bases.  That’s 3866 miles.  At 8 mpg, that’s about 483 gallons of gas.  At current average diesel gas prices, that’s $1945.

That’s… actually not as bad as I thought it would be.  Given you could bunk a good dozen people in a school bus at least, that gives about a total cost of $620 dollars each.  Adding in potential other expenses and repairs, that’s maybe $1000 each.

Huh…

I started on this tirade to try to show how awful an idea this would be, but it’s actually not that expensive.

…

Anyone want to go halvesies on a bus?

I want to do this so badly ohmygod
