There is a
blackout in the whole building and now we stumble through our apartment, trying
to find some candles.
We all want
to save the planet, but maybe starting with recycling is a more reasonable idea
than showering with your roommate to save water.
Game night
is a very important event in our apartment and we just keep finding new ways to
compete with each other.
We decided
to deep-clean and declutter our entire apartment, can’t be too embarrassing
what we find, right?
The
landlord still hasn’t repaired the heater in our apartment and we’re already
wearing several layers of clothes, we need to find other ways to keep warm.
Accidently
ending a phone call with your roommate with a casual ‘I love you’ seems like a very
good reason to move out.
I have work
in the morning and I can’t sleep while you’re making music next door, composing
love songs for your secret crush.
With a
bunch of roommates, the mornings can really turn into HBO’s hit show Game of
Toilets.
My alarm is
loud enough so you can hear it through the wall, so when I don’t want to get up,
you come over to turn it off and drag me out of bed.
The snow
storm makes it impossible to go outside, so let’s build a blanket fort and
spend the day in there.
If you like my blog and want to support me, you can buy me a coffee! 🥰
what if the citizens of Arendelle all assume that Anna took the throne because Elsa died and all this talk of “Elsa lives in the woods now” is like the equivalent of oh yes we sent the dog to live on the farm upstate
and that’s why Elsa didn’t go to the coronation/statue unveiling, because she knows and thinks it’s h i l a r i o u s and wants to see how long it takes Anna to realize literally everyone in the kingdom thinks Elsa is dead and is humoring her
like.
“sometimes i throw letters into the wind and they are definitely carried to my sister, a person who is alive and lives in the woods and this is how we communicate through magic” ???????
okay your majesty
OP how does it feel to be the funniest person on Earth? I just wheezed so hard I almost choked
Sometimes my sister comes to the castle at night, floats on the wind to my window, all in white, and we sing.
Elsa being all extra about it tho and rides into town on nokk via the water and self-made mist just because it adds to the entire thing
“I swear I saw the ghost of queen Elsa riding across the fjord astride a horse made of water just like the day the waters nearly destroyed Arendelle”
“They say if you listen you can hear her laughter echo along the breeze, tho it was so rare when she was alive”
BRUH
Commoner: Anna, your sister is a cryptid.
Anna: No, cryptids aren’t real. Elsa’s real.
Commoner: Yes she is, Anna, in our hearts.
Anna: No, seriously, she’s alive. She’s pulling this again, isn’t she?
If you listen, her tapping very much adds to the music.
Love this💗💗💗💗💗
That’s Emma O'Sullivan! She’s a famous tap dancer (all-Ireland champion) and you can see her often if you walk the streets of Galway, dancing in the street!
I’d just like to add (for non Irish people especially) that she isn’t actually a tap dancer but a sean nós dancer. Sean nós is a traditional Irish dance (sean nós means “the old way”) but it isn’t the same as the mainstream Irish dance which people would be familiar with. In mainstream Irish dance the dancers have carefully choreographed routines that need to be learned and replicated and keep a rigid upright position at all times. They either wear soft shoes which make no sound or hard shoes which make a tap sound which are worn for different types of dances. People can also usually recognise Irish dance pretty easily at a glance due to the extravagant colourful costumes, white “poodle” socks, white undershorts and heavy wigs and make up that the dancers wear at competitions.
Sean nós is a totally different type of dance separate to this mainstream “Irish dance”. It is a much more loose and free type of dance where the dancers always wear hard shoes since the sound of the feet is very important. There are a few basic moves (the “shuffle, shuffle stamp”, the “heel and toe” and the “slide and shuffle” being the basic foundation steps) but once you have the basics you can combine steps, free style and even make your own steps. You can move your hands and arms to the music unlike in mainstream Irish dance too. Sean nós is often seen as the sexier Irish dance as the dancers are allowed much greater hip and general body movement and can laugh and interact with the audience as they move. There are no particular costume rules for sean nós competitons. Unlike Irish dance, people can really wear whatever but the norm is comfortable and simple dresses or skirts or trouser/top combinations made up from whatever the dancer chooses from their own wardrobes, a huge contrast to the heavy Irish dance costumes and the expense and pageantry associated with them. Part of the appeal of sean nós is that it has not been commercialised and commodified to the degree that Irish dance has and has a much more casual and fun feel to it in contrast to the strict routines and costume norms of Irish dance.
The most skilled sean nós dancers are able to dance a “barrel dance” where they dance at high speed on top of a barrel without knocking it over. It usually takes years to get to this level of skill so people normally start on the ground and then work their way up from a quarter barrel to a half barrel until they can dance on the top of a full one. This is Emma again doing a barrel dance on a half barrel:
Another sean nós dance is Damhsa na Scuibanna “The Brush Dance” where dancers pass a brush between their legs at speed. The still images don’t really do it justice so here’s a clip of three members of the Cunningham family dancers performing it:
It’s important that people call it by its correct name of sean nós or damhsa ar an sean nós rather than just “tap dance” as it’s an important part of our cultural heritage and a type of dance that is barely known about outside of Ireland. Sean nós had almost fallen into total obscurity outside of small pockets of rural Ireland until dancers like Emma O Sullivan and the Cunningham family dancers repopularised it in the early 2010s through their acclaimed performances and TV appearances as well as their classes for children to keep the tradition going into the next generation. Sean nós is still threatened with falling back into obscurity, if you search online most of the popular videos and photos of it are from about nine years ago during this revival and it’s still largely a rural, West of Ireland phenomenon which even people from within Ireland don’t really know about. Calling it by it’s correct name helps to keep it alive and allows new people to find out about it.
This is why D.C. statehood is seen as a partisan issue. You might not know it based on the jerks that govern here (most of whom vote in their home states and/or the suburbs in Virginia or Maryland), but the District has historically been heavily Black and not insignificantly queer (this is also the anti-minority “subtext” of a lot of “drain the swamp” calls)
Politically, the place is bluer than a Smurf taking Violet Beauregard to an Eiffel 65 concert. Its hypothetical Congressional representation could make AOC look like Mike Bloomberg.
Once again, the core premise of the Republican Party is “but… if people counted equally… that would be bad for us.”
I just think more people should know that.
DC has a bigger population than Vermont and Wyoming, and is on tract to be bigger than Alaska and both Dakotas.
DC is one of the blackest cities in America, and has one of the fastest growing Latinx communities in the country.
It is a crime that DC doesn’t have representation. The vast majority of people here do not work for the government and those who do are often bipartisan employees. We don’t even have final say over our budget and laws. We need the ability to vote in Congress, to have a say in our own affairs.
but I would also like to point out that DC is undergoing huge gentrification which is aided by the city leaders. Housing is unaffordable; not to mention our police force is incredibly corrupt. We still have high levels of gun violence as well, and a terrifyingly high Black Maternal Mortality Rate. Like everywhere in America we are people and our leaders have flaws and make bad decisions.
You shouldn’t be for DC Statehood because of the politics or the senate majority (even if those are good things as well), you should be for DC Statehood because our votes matter, our lives matter. Because we need to fix shit too, but how can we when we are on constantly shifting ground.
Jack (the horse) is 28 years old and instead of putting him in a turnout pen during the day we just let him roam the property. He usually sticks around the barn, grazing or just standing around. But his favorite thing to do is lay down in various random spots that he feels are comfortable. Every morning after they drag the arena footing he goes and flops down in the soft dirt. Whenever we get a new shipment of shavings you better believe Jack is right there rolling in them once the truck leaves.
This was one of his ground-softness-testings. The aisle is all rubber so it’s not hard but I doubt it was very comfortable. Jack would beg to differ.
R u sure that cat did not defeat horse in battle
Most 28 year olds would have their own place by now but whatever Jack
