Finally made a pinned post lol

internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing

happy 10 year anniversary!

Benoit Blanc is my favorite kind of detective story character

He is a goofy lil guy

Who fuckin hates injustice

He isn't motivated by some obsession with law or punishment

He is motivated by equal parts a mind that loves trying to solve a puzzle and a heart that has compassion for people and is appalled by those who are genuinely terrible people

Much like two of my other fave sleuths, Charlie Cale and Jessica Fletcher, he's got an uncanny knack for puzzling out mysteries and also a good heart

He's also eccentric and silly he's not dark and brooding and cruel he's this goofy motherfucker and he doesn't care he isn't brooding in some mancave between cases he's playing Among Us with his friends in the bath tub

<3 and hell yes, you can tell that Craig has more fun playing him than he ever did playing Bond honestly, he's a JOY in these movies and I hope they never stop making them as long as he wants to do them :D <3

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

In Namibia’s Etosha National Park, elephants often appear ghostly white—covered in a layer of pale clay and calcite dust from the park’s dry, mineral-rich landscape. These mud baths help them cool off in the scorching 40°C heat while offering protection from the sun and parasites. The result is a surreal and striking look that makes them seem like creatures from another world.

This powerful moment was captured by Anja Denker, a renowned wildlife photographer whose work showcases the raw beauty and wonder of Africa’s wildlife.

I didn’t see this in the notes yet. So. If you crash cars with someone. You stop, you pull over to the side if you can, you don’t leave. If someone is hurt or crying, call 911 or your emergency number. Never hurts to get checked out. You write down the other person’s license plate and car make and model and colour, and get their driver’s license number. You write down what happened and how it happened. If you both can drive and no one is hurt you can go after exchanging information (don’t try to agree on what happened. Don’t make deals with the person.)

When you get home, call your car insurance provider. Describe the damage to your car and any injuries and how it happened. They’ll ask for the info I told you to get above.

You’ll probably have to take your car to a registered provider who can get an insurance approved quote for repairs.

See your doctor if you are still shaky after a couple of hours. Whiplash gets worse for the first few days so you might think you’re fine but when the adrenaline wears off, you’re not. Symptoms include headache dizziness nausea as well as neck and back pain.

If you see an accident happen, don’t leave. Be the one to call the emergency number if people are injured or not getting out of their car and walking around. Give your phone number and name to both people or to the emergency providers and expect a call from the insurance company. They’ll ask you to tell them what you saw. Be honest.

Drive safe out there, and be prepared. You can call your dad later and he’ll be so proud of you for handling it.
