Chinese pirate empress
Tumblr media
This is Zheng Yi Sao (born Shi Xianggu) and she's one of the coolest people who existed in Chinese history.
She started as a courtesan, and then she married a powerful pirate. but he died, she took over, was very good at finances and strategy and rose to power. She did so by proposing a confederation and becoming the pirate leader of the most biggest ship.
She also beat the East India company, the Portuguese people and the great Qing dynasty.

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

Tumblr media
safe to say i’m losing my mind
Tumblr media

The funniest thing about all the speculation regarding the origins of the Bigfoot myth is that we know where it came from. It was a prank carried out by a guy named Ray Wallace who vandalised a couple of logging camps in California in 1958 while wearing fake feet to conceal his identity. They literally found his collection of giant wooden feet in his basement after he died in 2002, his involvement has been corroborated by multiple accomplices, and the timing of the incidents precisely lines up with when interest in Bigfoot exploded in American popular culture. We've known all this for twenty years, and everybody just quietly ignores it because it's no fun, I guess.

I need this
Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

Idk why but I didn't like the Scott pilgrim anime, it just feels flat. None of the jokes hit, the plotline could have been better, but the characters and the animation is god tier.
There are many references to the movie, comics and the games but I feel like it was missing that special spice which made it so good to savour. It's like a body without soul. Plus some of the voices don't even match, was the 'whole cast returned to make this' thing a ploy for media attention?
Tumblr media
Anyways rant over, it was good but felt more like a fan work rather than the actual series.
I loved the characters doing different shit though. And the fact that most of them were so bi 😭 (ramona's hair should have tipped me off lol).Anyways rant over nobody's gonna read this whatever

college gothic
someone in your class mentions communism. they speak about it at length. you are in biology class.
you text your mother. she does not respond for 3 days. you text her again and then realize that it has only been 2 hours since your first text.
freshmen travel in packs. what are they afraid of.
your class is in room 153. the numbers start at 201. you cannot find the first floor.
someone is talking about communism. it is not the same person as last time. this is an english class.
your transcript says you have an A in philosophy 3310. you do not remember taking this class. what did you learn? what did you do?
you meet your elevator buddy. you do not speak. you never do. you ride in silence. one day, they are not there. you miss them.
your advisor refers you to the registrar. the registrar refers you to admissions. admissions refers you to both the registrar and your advisor. you have spoken to two people who do not exist and one who has been dead for ten years.
the boy who sits next to you wears the same clothes everyday. you think this is strange but when you mention it, he tells you that this is the first time he has worn this outfit. you realize that you have lived this day before.
you pass someone sleeping in the quad. he has always been there. stop looking at him.
someone answers, “communism.” it is not someone who has been previously mentioned. the question was, “what is an example of the art of ancient greece?”
you have a doppelganger on campus. you have never met them. they know all of your friends.
the seniors speak only to professors. their eyes are dead. they have given up the safety of the pack long ago.
the professor is talking about STD’s. your math class is very strange.
the powerpoint is in comic sans. you suspect that your economics professor is an extraterrestrial being after all.
“communism,” the man serving you lunch insists. wearily you nod. that’s what everyone says.
