i was watching the yes minster episode “The Skeleton in the Closet” today and had a random thought.
at about 10 minutes in, Sir Humphrey and Jim are walking through, like, a foyer? there’s big double doors behind them. and as they walk past, a woman comes through the doors and walks offstage the way they entered. they don’t interact with or even acknowledge her, and almost no viewer will even notice her presence. believe me when I say that her presence adds NOTHING to the episode.
but for some reason I started fixating on her (probably because she was kind of pretty and I’m very gay). who was she? why was she there? how did she get on the show? her cameo was so inconsequential that I can’t imagine she even got paid. did she just happen to walk through the shot and they left it in? or was she actually hired to be on screen for four seconds?
this post isn’t leading to any spectacular conclusion, it’s just a random thought. maybe I’ll write a fic about her character.

None of this disqualifies Canada from being perfect?
These aren’t the actions of the nation of Canada. These are the actions of private companies. They simply are not relevant to the discussion.
If I, a citizen of Canada, brutally murder my neighbours, that does not make the government of Canada murderers, now does it?
holy fuck we’re so back tamrielheads

doesn’t Azura spend like. three thousand years trying to murder three queer people.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
I have always had the headcanon that Azura is a patron god of trans people. And Vivayth, being a trans woman, definitely thinks of Azura as a protector!
America has always wanted to be Rome. Now they’re finally succeeding, though perhaps not in the way the founders wanted…
Why am I able to find so many parallels between the modern USA and the fall of the Roman Republic 😭😭😭
guys help I thought this meant like. walked around.
pls reblog <33
This post displays a frankly childish misunderstanding of how the world works.
It isn’t the personal private actions of rich people that create emissions - that would obviously be a ridiculous thing to believe. The wealthy are responsible for those large emissions because they control the actual source, the industry. And if we got rid of the rich, those industries would still have to keep running, unless you want the products they create and the jobs they employ to disappear (and, if you’re a socialist, you shouldn’t).
Please think about things for even one minute before you post them. I promise you the solution to everything is not actually revolution.
A recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for an astonishing two-thirds of observable climate warming since 1990. Basically, that small minority of the wealthiest among us contribute nearly seven times as much to extreme climate change as the entire lower-earning 90 percent of the planet.
If that's not enough to have you reaching for your pitchfork, the top 1 percent contribute 20 times as much to climate disasters as the bottom 99 percent. Since 2019, the research article notes, the "wealthiest 10 percent of the global population accounted for nearly half of global emissions" through "private consumption and investments, whereas the poorest 50 percent accounted for only one-tenth of global emissions."
