    The earth’s water supply is a closed system, so all our fresh water was dinosaur urine at one point. So you may have been forged in the heart of a star but you were filtered through the kidney of a dinosaur, which I for one, find beautiful

    HOLY SHIT YES PLEASE

    DO YOH EV EN HA VE TO ASK

    WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT. JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN

    Why is this even being asked? Is there an option that isn’t “DEARGODYESOMG”?

    i fear time travel shenanigans, but i don’t fear them enough to overcome my deep desire to see this teamup

    what if no time travel shenanigans. what if it’s little old i’m not dead yet you sanctimonious fucks peggy carter who would like to die with her boots on, and natasha is actual the only agent in the world who can actually keep up with her when she sneaks out of the hospital, steals a few wallets, digs up a few old shield weapons caches, and toodles cheerfully off to europe to go out in a blaze of nazi-hunting glory like she wanted to before her damn grandkids came over all fussy and took her guns away. 

    natasha romanoff has been trained as a remorseless and deadly superspy since she was a baby and she is so, so, so glad that she was never assigned to keep up with agent carter before the two hip surgeries, a knee replacement, and a case of alzheimer’s took a bit of her edge off. 

    natasha calls steve every night and bitches about what deranged death-defying shit the ancient hellbat has managed to live through today and steve just giggles at her over the phone. 

    ‘put peggy on,’ he says.

    ‘i will not, the two of you just encourage each other.’

    ‘is that steve?’ peggy wants to know.

    ‘NO.’

    ‘put steve on the phone, i want to sext him.’

    NO.”

    ‘natasha give peggy the phone.’

    #battle granny#at one point she drags a large and terrified blonde personal trainer into a mob shoot-out#it’s not a good time for anyone#rogers you are being a shit backup today what is your problem#“MY NAME IS BRAD AND I WANT TO GO HOME

    i feel vaguely guilty for how much i want this to happen

    this would literally be better than all the actual films Marvel has in their current line-up…

    I’d love for this to have scenes set in the past, then scenes set in the present with Peggy and Nat. (And Angie?)

    Iraqi man calls on Southwest Airlines to apologize for kicking him off the plane

    An Iraqi-born refugee thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight wants the airline to apologize for singling him out.

    26-year-old University of California, Berkeley student Khairuldeen Makhzoomi says he spoke Arabic on the phone with his uncle while his plane waited to take off from Los Angeles International Airport, SFGate reported. Soon after, he says, a female passenger looked at him and left her seat; moments later, Southwest Airlines employees told him he must leave the plane. His experience only got worse from there.

    On November 18th, 2011, a peaceful protest was held in UC Davis. A branch of “Occupy Wallstreet”, Occupy UC Davis was intended to protest police violence on UC campuses.

    The police responded by hearing their concerns, agreeing and then pepper-sprayed the protesters.

    That’s right, they attacked students that were protesting the fact that they attack people. source

    If you’re thinking “Oh man, someone got some compensation for this, right!?” Yup. Someone did.

    The cop. 

    The stress of being the poor victim netted him a $38,000 in worker’s comp. 

    That’s more than a lot of people make in a full year. source

    UC Davis “Investigated” this. And the guy who conducted the investigation was a Police Chief William J. Bratton – Chairman of the private business that provides UC Davis’s security. SOMEHOW there wasn’t enough evidence to charge the officers involved in this incident. source

    It just came out that UC Davis has paid $175,000+ to a private “Image Management firm”, who is putting all of that sweet, sweet dollar into manipulating Google’s search engines, as well as other networks, to make it a lot LOT harder to find reminders that this happened. Read that what-proper: 

    They’re spending almost $200,000 of school funds to escape being remembered for this awful incident.

    source

    So let’s take a stand. Let’s fight back against their attempts to censor the truth and avoid accountability for their awful, awful actions and violent corruption.

    I have before you a perfectly shareable image set, complete with sources and screenshots of proof.

    Let’s all work together and get the word out about this chicanery. #Love it!

    Always reblog.

    How I got most of the plants at my house: People gave me plants.

    There was a member of my garden club who needed help dividing all of her plants. I live in Olympia and she lives in Spanaway.  She didn’t want all of her plants to go into the compost, so she said anyone who could come help dig things out could keep whatever they wanted.

    This is less than a quarter of my haul. I carpooled with another member who lived in Lewis County.  She had a truck. We filled that truck up TWICE.

    Here we are, dividing day lilies

    The gardener even flagged road workers down and asked if they wanted plants. Luckily, the workers were fellow plant nerds and took plants with them!

    She encouraged them to take more after their shift was over.

    I get my plants through fun plant adventures! Garden clubs are a great way to connect with new folks, help each other out, and sometimes get new plants!

    Oooh! Those day lilies are beautiful. Your patch doesn’t happen to be due for dividing again, does it…? ;)

    (Also, yay plant nerd construction workers! And plant sharing/gifting.)

    That is superb…and makes me miss having a garden. Gaaah.
