something I've been curious about recently and yet another "was my childhood just kinda weird?" thing I've been wondering, but:
* to be clear, I mean a storm with lightning specifically, not just heavy rains.
I didn't used to but as I've aged I've stopped caring mostly, as long as the lightning isn't right on top of us

โRayban charity glasses eventโ is a scam donโt click any link in a post that says that.
Old tumblr users remember this scam back when it first went out.
Also no, this isnโt a joke. This phishing scam is 100% running its course again so watch out for your mutuals long abandoned accounts suddenly posting it. Please make everyone aware of it since most users here are newbies who have not seen it before!
HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.
It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.
You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.
FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.
โโfucked up evil Rick Astley and his dessert spoons
Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now
Heโs not filibustering. Heโs protesting the current administration.
For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didnโt pay attention in government class, in the US senate thereโs really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they donโt want a bill to pass they just. Donโt stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.
Senator Cory Booker isnโt doing that. Heโs disrupting โthe normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically ableโ. Just in protest. This doesnโt usually happen.
Heโs less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor
Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmondโs record for longest speech on the senate floor and heโs still going
For those of you wondering what heโs been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. Heโs also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for โquestionsโ but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that heโs been missing while heโs been talking.
He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like theyโre going to bug out of his skull so I donโt blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.
Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."
The new record speech is on the right side of history.
Minor correction: the questions from other Democrats did not allow him to sit down as he must remain standing and at his desk in order to retain the floor. Additionally, I believe the final time was 25 hours and 7 minutes.
Self correction: final time 25 hours 5 minutes.
Apparently at like 3 am he was reading out emails coming in from people who were watching the livestreams.
A new American hero who will go down in history books (this regime's attempt to stifle the history books notwithstanding)
fuck it, reblog to give the person you rb'ed this from a freshly baked buttery croissant.
anyway itโs cool and powerful that a man of colour is using his position as a senator to spend 24 hours straight criticising an administration thatโs made it very clear that it will go to devastating and unconstitutional lengths to make everyone who isnโt a cishet white man sit down and shut up
The good news: you get to pick your new soulmate! (You can define "soulmate" however you want: platonic/romantic/partners in crime/etc. But they will be in your life, constantly.)
The bad news: you don't get to pick where they come from.
Spin this wheel until you get a fandom with characters that you recognize. As soon as you do, stop. One of those people* is going to be a constant presence in your life, whether you like it or not. So choose wisely.
*broadly defined
