James Baldwin: “After all, you’re accusing a captive population who has been robbed of everything of looting. I think it’s obscene.”

i want to study at a boston-area university.

i will pronounce color as caalah and use smoot units. i would watch Cheers on Netflix all night while drinking cranberry juice with my flatmates. i'll have dunkin donuts every day that's worth 5 dollahs. i would go to dorm parties every night. i am also more likely to meet Matt Damon, the New England Patriots, Mark Wahlberg and the MBTA.

i wish i was from massachusetts :(

Do you think the writers of Season 7's Lessons were thinking about Rupert Giles killing a defenceless man with his bare hands -- and, as far as we can see, never so much as thinking about it again after the event -- when they had Willow tearfully confess to him that she expected to be executed or "locked in some mystical dungeon for all eternity" and that it was only right that everyone she knew should be afraid of her for the rest of her life because she was a murderer? Do you think they remembered that when he was about Willow's age Rupert Giles canonically used magic to summon a demon who killed one man and would later go on to kill several more people and that, when the Watchers Council found out, his only punishment was to be sent back to Oxford to complete his undergraduate degree?

I'm inclined to think not, but it does add a certain frisson to his responses, doesn't it? "I've not forgotten," he tells Willow when she reminds him that she "killed people". Is he thinking about Randall and Ben when he says that? Were they somehow more deserving of death than Warren or Rack? "Do you want to be punished?" he asks her later. Does he?

#btvs #rupert giles #that scene makes me want to gnaw on concrete #THE IMPLICATIONS. THEY ARE IMPLIED. #and never followed up on :) ever :) #in contrast to Ted when he’s telling the other scoobies how buffy has taken a life and that’s an incredible weight changes you etc #and cordelia goes ‘oh yeah you’d know a lot about that right? :) since you killed your friends? :)’ #hey guys am I back in my buffy Era? am I gonna re-enter a buffy Era?

imo when willow tried to turn amy back from a rat in s6 it shouldn't have worked and willow is just pulling her hair out trying to figure out why but since she and tara are broken up she never finds out that miss kitty fantastico ate amy back in s4 and tara bought a new rat and hoped nobody would notice

#obsessed with this #some of the notes on this post are so superb to. the idea that xander has already replaced the rat twice by the time tara does. #the fact that she for real could’ve just asked giles bc he literally had already done that to change rat buffy back in s3. #the fact that giles would’ve known the rat was rat Amy and still didn’t think #‘hmm maybe I should do something about that’ ?????? so I’m Character fhsgsgsgsg

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

a non-subtext hannibal sex scene would be like: *will in therapy with bedelia, slutty outfit on, recounting the event just to torment her* *tasteful artsy shots of hannigram doing it (flesh sliding against flesh, close-ups of trembling eyelashes, drops of sweat rolling down skin)* *metal pipes tumbling down the stairs dot mp3 gets louder* *alternating shots of them in the kitchen and in the bedroom: a knife cutting into meat, a hand brushing a knife scar. swallowing wine, swallowing bodily fluids. etc.* *will narrating over it like: "to know is to consume and to consume is to become... and hannibal knows me, with all the teeth at his disposal..."* *interspersed shots of them procuring the 'food': knife stab parallels the other kind of penetration, a frightened scream is followed by one of rupture* *"we teach each other to hunger and to yearn, and we feed one another over.. and over.. and over"* *cut to bedelia looking like she will bill him six times her usual fee*
