favorite bits of the cast interviews in the LOTR special features:
Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Wood’s “oh it hurts, babes, and I can’t ride the horse, babes” and Viggo Mortensen’s “they can be very fragile, elves, especially the…Mirkwood strain…”)
Ian McKellen commenting that “they never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalf…”
Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just mutters “one could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghan’s…proclivities…”
Dominic Monaghan’s imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast. “You have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!”
John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and saying “if an elf and a dwarf are in a boat…and…the boat goes under…let us say that the blame was not placed on the elf” while Orlando Bloom splutters “he’s a big guy, man!” 
Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings
Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Wood’s scale double) started telling him “if the boat tips over…save yourself…I can’t swim.” 
Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other
Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said, “I cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.” 
Viggo Mortensen mentioning that he left a weekend rehearsal and went walking down the street still swinging his sword around, and promptly got the cops called on him

Remember when King Arthur proposed to his servant.
Apparently they were platonic friends.

As someone who has *recently* had an abortion, I’m disgusted by the Supreme Court’s decision today.
It was my choice. It was the best course of action for me and my boyfriend. It was the best decision for the embryo in /my/ uterus. And that’s exactly what it was. An embryo. Not even a fetus. It didn’t even have a heartbeat.
The decision I made was informed, the doctor gave me a prescription for HBC to hopefully prevent it from happening again, and it was the choice that made the most sense for myself and my boyfriend.
Women will seek out abortions in other ways. They will endanger their own lives. I’m disgusted.

i would just like to take a second to say colin morgan is actually rather astonishing?? 
so colin is one of the actors who made me want to become one myself, i spent 3 years at drama school, took my first paid film and theatre jobs last year. so, still very, very much a beginner but i kind of understand a bit about the craft now. i thought i would come to be able to understand what colin does to produce the performances that he does. NOPE. i am now even more blown away by it. 
he is so ridiculous. that moment in all my sons, where he comes back onstage and his teeth are chattering and he just starts sobbing??? what??? the transition of that is so quick and so utterly, deeply real. and we know he subscribes to stasberg’s method so his goal is to feel the actual feelings that his character feels. and like?? i have no idea how he goes to THAT place so quickly and (seemingly) so easily?? 
and i sort of hope i never figure it out. even though i originally wanted to “uncover his secret” i sort of hope i never do. because the privilege to wonder at the mystery of colin and his talent is an absolute gift.

A quick VIP (very important post) to let EVERYONE know that Idaho is killing 90% of their wolf population for NO LEGITIMATE REASON.
That’s right. 90%. Of all of their wolves.

Medici | 2x04, Blood with Blood – 1
Lots to enjoy here.
Lorenzo extending his streak of negotiating political marriages for his siblings to 0 for 2.
Giuliano unleashing some trademark sass. (For all that Lorenzo is credited as having the "silver tongue" of the Medici siblings, I think Giuliano might actually have the sharper one) Continuing in the trend that Giuliano tells Lorenzo hard truths no one else will, it's hard to imagine anyone else having the guts to call Lorenzo out on how miserable he's making Clarice.
The look on Bradley's face in that 6th gif! Heart. Broken. I just wish we had more time to explore Giuliano's past and how, exactly, he was hurt so badly that his reaction to the idea of love is a look of such pain. (Also it might've helped explain some of what made Simonetta so special to Giuliano a little better, but that's another conversation entirely)

As someone else with ADHD I also am unaffected by caffeine in a “normal” way.
I ate chocolate-covered espresso beans by the handful while watching a movie late at night with friends (who thought I would be WIRED). I went to bed an hour later and slept like a rock.
caffine affects me so little, I can literally chug multiple monster cans and just feel a lil cozy. a lil comfy.
(only reason I still drink 'em is they have good flavours that noone else does :U)
plus, alcohol goes through me like a sieve. so like. I'm considerin I got some funky liver stuff goin on, thanks to all ur research on them pathways!
do you have ADHD? i'm asking because caffeine makes you a lil cozy a lil comf if you have ADHD on account of being understimulated. like if normal people start at stim level 0 and take a +3 buff from caffeine they get "focus mode" but ADHD people are starting at -5 so that same +3 buff only gets you to -2 which is "lil coze lil comf could go for a nap i won't lie pretty chill" zone also goes through me like a sieve as well. it's a CYP2E1 substrate (one i have suspicions of for me)
if you're not ADHD then shock of shocks, the active stumulant molecule part of caffeine is also a 2E1 substrate
several benzodiazapines inhibit 2E1 which is why "don't drink and do valium at the same time" is such a severe interaction warning but here's a full list of 2E1 inhibitors

I also saw someone free-flying four or five GCC's on social media a few days ago and had the same thought!
While it’s great that people can recall their birds and give them the ability to fly freely, small parrots like GCC's and budgies could easily be a hawk’s meal.
You can buy your small bird a leash so that it can fly outside with significantly lower risk of it being hurt, getting lost, and getting eaten.
what are your opinions on "free flying" pet birds? i saw someone on tiktok that took their birds on hikes, and would then let them roam free in that specific spot while they watched. i was kind of scared at first, i didnt know smaller birds could learn these tricks (the person had two or three macaws and about five small birds) and ofc predators would be a threat. but i dont know enough about birds to have any definitive opinions.
A smaller bird like a budgie would be food for a hawk in no time, even supervised. I’ve seen cooper’s hawks attempt to pick off kestrels while someone is barely 10 feet away. Budgies should at minimum be kept on a leash and ideally in one of those travel backpacks.
A larger macaw wouldn’t be really under predator threat; they’re too large for a coops and red tails usually don’t hunt feathered game. They also likely wouldn’t have much ecological impact, since the odds of the bird finding another macaw to breed with is pretty slim. It comes down to what you’re willing to risk. Many of these birds can cost into the thousands of dollars and the likelihood of it surviving long if it leaves is slim. As with any animal, the moment you let it off leash, there’s a chance you will never get it back.
I would never recommend doing this.

Bird things no one tells you about before you own birds parte dos:
No one takes care of your birds like you do.
For example, I left my birds with my mother for two weeks while I went on vacation. I left her with dry pellet food. It’s not what I normally feed them, it's just not my first choice for primary feeding, but it's easier for her. My mom found the bird food that I normally feed my parrots (it’s from Bird Street Bistro if anyone is interested) and cooked some for them. Then texted me to tell me that the birds weren’t eating it, did she do something wrong? Why didn't they like it? I then had to walk her through my entire process of cooking, portion control, and sitting to eat with the birds (covered in another post). To put it simply - no one will understand your bird’s quirks, wants, or needs like you
