[insert witty comment here]

i get the feeling i'm supposed to write junk about myself here...junk about myself!! huzzah and all that jazz...

Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages

can we just take a moment to imagine little cute six-year-old hermione reading matilda

and peering into this book about a smart, bookish girl who could move things with her mind

and then can you imagine her concentrating very hard on the books on the bookshelf and slowly, slowly, getting them to move

OH MY GOD

mumblingsage: yamino: iamingrid: yamino: omgthatdress: Half-Mourning Dress 1910-1912 The Victoria & Albert Museum What’s a “half-mourning” dress?  Mourning in the front, party in the back? Half-Mourning was the third stage of mourning for a widow. She would be expected to mourn her husband for at least two years, the stages being Full Mourning, Second Mourning and Half-Mourning. The different stages regulated what they would be wearing, with Full Mourning being all black and with no ornamentation, including the wodow’s veil, and the stages after that introducing some jewellery and modest ornamentation. When in Half-Mourning you would gradually include fabrics in other colors and sort of ease your way out of mourning.  Wow, I am happy you made that joke so I could interpert it as a serious question and have an excuse to ramble on about clothing customs of the past, I am a historical fashion nerd. That’s very informative, but I’m going to stick with my original head canon: I love both the informed fashion history and the hilariously off-the-wall halves of this post.
