wrathofprawn: for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge. their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

People need to stop saying that they know sign, and then sticking up their middle finger. You don’t know sign, you’re just a jerk.

That joke gets old so fast. I also hate when people start waving their hands around going “what am I saying now?” And you’re like. No. But then they keep goinnnnnnnng.

a star made of elves. or an elf made of stars: apparently I have to school some people's asses on being poor again -

elfstaranymore:

Listen up, Tumblr. There are some cold hard facts about being poor that you need to know before you try to talk to me or my family or any other poor person about anything involving money, food, jobs, housing or healthcare.

Some of this info is pretty US centric, but read this shit.

Last night we watched Bolt, which is an animated movie about a dog (hijinks ensue). And Wendy, who is a bulldog puppy spent the entire movie transfixed to the screen. At one really sad point she actually cried.
