I read an anecdote from someone whose African Grey didn’t particularly get along with her Amazon parrot, Paco. One night she was preparing cornish hens for dinner, while the grey hung out with her in the kitchen. He got a closer look at one of the hens, looked his mama dead in the eyes and asked, “Paco?” Then he laughed.

that is one sadistic bird 

I am slightly afraid now.

I love birds?

African Grey Parrots are one of the smartest birds, and seems they can be known to play “jokes” or “pranks” on their owners or any visitors.

I was visiting a friend of the family one time and I was just casually watching tv when I thought I heard the water running. I go into the kitchen but everything’s fine. the parrot looks at me and says “gotcha”.

Parrots are awesome.

I have an African Grey named Loki and he lives up to his name.

He likes to scream and mimic the sounds of things falling off the shelf and when we run into the room to see what’s happening he says “The cat did it! Bad Sammy!” and laughs.

Whenever he gets mad at me he flies away from me, but since he can’t fly very well, he always crash lands. And the first thing he says when I go to pick him up, without fail, is always “You need to vacuum,” in a very bitter grumble. 

Loki likes to call our cat to him. He’ll sit there for minutes saying “here kitty kitty kitty.” The cat will come, walk up to the bird, get bit and then Loki will laugh as the cat screams and runs away. This goes on for hours. 

If it’s late at night and he’s tired, but I’m still up with the lights on, he’ll say “Loki go night night.” It’s starts of in a normal tone and then gets louder and louder until he’s screaming “LOKI GO NIGHT NIGHT!” 

If he sees my dad fall asleep, he screams like a little girl to scare my dad awake. And then laughs. He’s kind of perfected that evil laugh.

But the best one was when I brought home the man who has since become my ex for the first time, Loki looked him dead in the eyes and said “I’m going to bite you.” My parrot was the first one to see what a bad person my ex. He was smarter than us all. 

Parrots are people.

African Greys are like the greatest animal on the planet

When I was a kid, we had a rescued african grey called Dodi, and once I was arguing with my mum about my bed time, and the parrot (who had some very foul mouthed previous owners) just shouted at me “for fuck sake go to bed!”

also whenever we hoovered he’d call us “yoooou dusty cunts”

best thing was he had a scottish accent

Sith Poe Stuff

*When his mom said “Stay away from that old Massassi Base, there’s something off about it.” He should have probably listened
*He did not.
*In his defense, it was *right* there and multiple hanger bays were still intact that were just asking to be explored. How was he supposed to know there was a karking Sith Temple underneath it??
*Naga Sadow is a surprisely chill guy (I’m sorry, Freedon Nadd who? Don’t know him), for an ancient half-Sith that’s been in a suspended animation for thousands of years. Turns out he has to be though, since all his mastery of Sith alchemy turned out to be useless when his Massassi slaves abandoned him to the ruins of his temple and all the muscles in his body atrophied due to improper care. Of course he’s gonna be chill to the kid that wakes him up. Who else is gonna get him OUT OF HERE.
*Poe does not take him out.
*Sadow eventually comes to the conclusion that he might die here. Time to train an apprentice.
*Poe is a terrifyingly good Sith. He’s even more terrifyingly good at *hiding* it. Natural shielding ability to die for. Even when Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker themselves visit, they never notice it.
*Ben Solo does, though, when Luke brings his apprentice by. It’s subtle, but he knows. Poe can tell. He almost decides to kill Solo over it, until he reaches out in the Force and sees that there’s darkness in him, too. A little smudge of it. So Poe goes *shrug* might as well just leave it.
*Ben ends up following him back to Naga Sadow. Promptly demands to know what’s going on, Naga says the impolite Sith equivalent of ‘fuck you’, and Ben kills him.
*This was the first moment Poe Dameron realized that Ben Solo was an asshole.
*They both come to the mutual understanding that Luke and Leia don’t need to know about this. They part ways, and some years later Poe hears about how Ben slaughtered all the students at Luke Skywalker’s School for Gifted Youngsters. He isn’t surprised.
*After Naga’s death, Poe is at a loss. He’s technically a Sith Lord now by default? What’s he supposed to do? Take over the galaxy? Go see if there are some more Sith in other temples around?
*He decides, fuck it. Might as well join the Resistance. He thinks Leia is cool anyway. His parents did it, why not him?
*But there is the problem of his lightsaber. He doesn’t want to leave it, but he can’t have it on his belt. So he gets a little droid that’ll carry it for him. BB-8 is the best companion a Sith Lord could ever ask for.
*That awkward moment when he’s caught by the First Order and has to awkwardly act like he couldn’t kill them all with a thought. Ben shows up, and he’s Kylo the Wannabee Not-Sith now. Attempts to pry stuff out of Poe’s mind. Poe almost dies laughing because he *sucks at it*. It’s like someone trying to dig through a duracrete wall with a rubber shovel.
*Kylo finally gives up, goes off to stew. Makes sure to put a Force dampener on Poe so he won’t escape, Poe is like ‘Well great’ when a RESCUER shows up. And Poe didn’t even have to Mind Trick him!
*And oh kark, his rescuer is cute.
*He’s **really** cute.
*Shit, Poe has a crush. Shit. Shit! Are Sith Lords supposed to have crushes? Oh eff.

Ok but give a droid a lightsaber and they figure out how to use it 😂 Artoo would be proud

When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.

This should be required learning, internationally. 

You need to know this. You need to remember this. This is not something to swept under the carpet nor be forgotten. 

Never. Too many have died for the way they have loved. That needs stop now. 

Make it stop? 

I did a report on this in my World History class my sophomore year of high school. It was incredibly unsettling.

My teacher shown the class this. Mostly everyone in the class felt uncomfortable. 

I have reblogged this in the past, but it is so ironic that it comes across my dash right now. I a currently working as a docent at my city’s Holocaust Education Center (( I say currently because I’ve also done research and translation for them )) and out current exhibit is one on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ((USHMM)). This is a little known historical fact that Paragraph 175 was not repealed after the war and those convicted under Nazi laws as a danger to society because they were gay were not released because they had be convicted in a court of law. There was no liberation or justice for them as they weren’t considered criminals, or even victims for that matter. They were criminals who remained persecuted and ostracized and kept on the fringes of society for decades after the war had been won. Paragraph175 wasn’t actually repealed until 1994. And it was only in May 2002, that the German parliament completed legislation to pardon all homosexuals convicted under Paragraph175 during the Nazi era. History has forgotten about these men and women — please educate yourselves so this does not happen again. Remember this history. Remember them.

@mindlesshumor ok how the fuck did I miss this when I’ve studied The Holocaust like nobody’s business??? wtf

Because the history we have left regarding it is literally the contents of this first hand account.

It is a thin little book.

When I first opened it, I wondered why it was so thin.

Why there wasn’t other books like it.

Other first hand accounts.

By the time I finished it, I didn’t wonder anymore.

The Pink Triangle: The Nazi War Against Homosexuals by Richard Plant

Branded By The Pink Triangle by Ken Setterington

Bent by Martin Sherman (fiction; however, it’s often credited with bringing attention to gay Holocaust victims for the first time since the war ended)

This is one of the memorial sculptures in Dachau.  It was erected in the early 60s and is missing the pink triangles.  Because in the early 60s, homosexuality was still a crime in most of the world.
Our tour guide explained why the pink triangles have not been added later – if they were, then folks would assume that they had always been there.  This way people ask “why aren’t there pink triangles?” and somebody can explain why – because in some ways, the rest of the world was as bass-ackwards as Nazi Germany.

can i just say i was literately in a genocide and holocaust class and i didnt even learn this

i am very adamant that elves are far less restrictive about gender and relationships than humans

this post cost me a follower. good. reblog for non-binary polyamorous elves. ignore for cisheteronormativity.

I almost didn’t reblog this because Illapa definitely has some gender and sexuality Baggage™ but then I remembered that this is a man who wears thigh-high boots and a waist corset? Like, if a human remarked that his wardrobe was ‘not masculine’ he would probably just be confused. This is why your entire race looks like sacks of potatoes, Human Steve.
