Summary:

Derek tried not to stare, but Stiles was even more attractive up close—with lips that he absolutely shouldn’t want to kiss, considering they were strangers. He had to mentally shake the thoughts away because this wasn’t like him. He cleared his throat and nodded toward the trucks. “So, do you have experience with turtle rescue? We’re always looking for more volunteers.” “Yeah, yeah. I used to help sometimes with my mom here when I was a kid, but I’ve been volunteering in New York for the past seven years.” Stiles rested his hands on his hips and glanced around the beach before his eyes returned to Derek. “I’ve read one of your pamphlets though.” Stiles’ eyes trailed down and then up Derek’s body. “How many do you think are out here?” Was he…? Derek paused, his thoughts momentarily scattered by Stiles’ blatant once-over. Usually, he didn’t care for attention like that, but Stiles’ gaze was oddly flattering. It was different somehow. Refreshing. “We’re estimating hundreds,” he finally responded. “But we won’t have a clear idea until we’ve scoured the entire area. It’s going to be a long day. Think you’re up for it?” Derek hoped he was. ...or the one where a chance encounter led to more.

everyone’s debating posts of the decade, best and worst, and i have yet to see anyone mention moon moon

You know, nothing could convince me that Ginny wrote the valentine’s poem in Chamber of Secrets. Absolutely nothing. That is 100% an on-brand Draco Malfoy ‘ploy’ (okay) to ‘piss off’ (sure) his ‘rival’ (uh huh).

I mean, first of all, we pretty much always get a Dramatic & Cunning Draco Prank in the books (until he gets older and shit starts getting more real). Not so much in book one — he was still in Planning and Seething Mode™️ — but after that, Draco was like:

Year two: Stay up all night composing the perfect valentine poem to embarrass and annoy Potter

Year three: Stay up all night making Dementor costumes to scare and piss off Potter

Year four: Stay up all night making Potter Stinks badges because I’m so well-adjusted about him and barely think of him at all, actually

Also, I’ve talked about this before, but it really just doesn’t sound like Ginny. Why would she compare his eyes to pickled toads? (Meanwhile, Draco would 100% do that.) Why would she refer to the ‘Dark Lord’, when we only see Voldemort referred to as that by death eaters? And she had so much shit going on at the time, and was terrified of the gaps in her memory and what was happening — I don’t think she was writing love poems.

And really, it’s the fact that Malfoy is the one to act like Ginny wrote it. Which tells me two things:

He’s noticed Ginny’s crush and dislikes it (and is jealous/angry at her about it….. like why else would he care?? why would he notice???)

He’s deflecting attention from himself as the actual author of the poem

I can just totally see Malfoy finding out about Lockhart’s valentine idea, scoffing at Crabbe and Goyle and being like “that’s so stupid”, but then thinking about it later and telling himself “this is the perfect way to embarrass Potter.” Twelve year old Draco staying up late in his four poster bed, coming up with hilarious rhymes for his not-at-all-romantic love poem….. I see it. I see the vision.

This is awesome and I can’t believe Jessica joined in!

I’m a teacher and my older sister is a lawyer so we always make jokes that I’m the broke one. One day I was babysitting my 5 year old cousin and we went to get froyo. Just as I was about to pay she goes “sweetie you can pay for that” I asked why not and her answer was “it’s because your broken remember” then she paid with the 10 dollars she got for her birthday

How does anyone hate kids they are so funny I sold tickets to incredibles to this little girl and her mom and she’s like mom are we sitting next to each other and the moms like ya and the kid screamed YES so loud it broke my ears

I am not usually one to post but I just need to rant about the teen wolf movie. *spoiler alert*

They did everyone but Scott dirty. And I know the ending was about how great Derek was and how he is the best person ever. They are not wrong but his son has so many problems with him and when they finally start to get along. DEREK DIES!!! Like what the heck. And how they only mentioned stiles like 3 times and they carefully edited him out of important sense and yes I know that was partly because of Dylan O’Brien and legal issues but still. And how easily sterek could have been cannon. Like all Eli had to do was call the sheriff grandpa and there sterek. They already had a grandpa-grandson relationship. I mean the sheriff came to threaten and this fool went “oh it’s just you” like buddy. And Derek and the sheriff had a father son relationship. And also how Eli is basically a mini stiles.

Scott is such a bad alpha. Like why would he leave his territory like that. He didn’t even tell his mom he was coming back. Didn’t even try to help with Eli only at the end. Like the first three season he only cares about Allison and everyone else can go fuck themselves. Love Allison but still.

Not to mention all the plot holes. Like who’s Eli’s mother? What up with stiles? Why bring back Allison but not Aiden? Who is the girl with Liam? Where were they at the beginning of the movie? Why do they have the nogitsune and why is it not with Chris or the hale vaults? Are the sheriff and Melissa together?

And how Harris doesn’t tie in with the whole thing. Like what.

There are so so so SO many other things but I won’t. I just feel like screaming, it was so bad.

Thank you for listening to my Ted talk. Have a nice night.

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.
