“Oh, you have to be patient with older people, they’re from a different time, things were different when they were growing up.”
In the middle of the Civil War, Newton Knight deserted the Confederate army and went back home to Ellisville, Mississippi where he teamed up with other deserters and escaped slaves to fight a guerrilla war against the Confederacy, eventually making it impossible for the Confederates to move troops or supplies through south Mississippi between the Pascagoula river and Alabama. After the war, Newt married a Black woman and bullied other white dudes into joining the Union League. What the FUCK is your excuse, Meemaw?
The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.
A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.
Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.
So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….
actually…
tilting at windmills.
I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at
this moment about sam remembering jack’s birthday?
dean blanks completely and sam remembers exactly.
sam remembers for the same reason dean forgot: it was one of the worst days of their lives.
their mom is gone. their best friend was murdered. and they had what they thought was a scary powerful creature on the loose.
and what i think is amazing is that even though it was the worst day, it was the start of a significant and beautiful change in their lives.
For the love of god, please keep this destiel-shipping, Sam-and-Jared-hating piece of shit and her horrid posts off my dash. I already blocked her in 50 different ways. What else do I have to do here? CASGIRLSAM IS AN ASSHOLE WHO SPENDS MOST OF HER TWITTER TIME ATTACKING PEOPLE AND TALKING SHIT ABOUT JARED WITH HER DISGUSTING BEST FRIEND CAROL HANSSON. Now maybe she can block me and I’ll be rid of her for good.
lol wut
@theyjustdontgetitdothey lol what? talking shit about Jared? You mean her favorite cast member? the one who is literally her profile picture EVERYWHERE?
What are you smoking and where can I get some?
people like that have been like this since before i joined the fandom. they think you can’t possibly love destiel AND sam or be a fan of misha AND j2.
it’s pure projection. they ship wincest and hate cas and they “love” j2 and hate misha, so obviously the reverse must be true. or so their logic goes.
like our pal diane? she had to go back TWO YEARS to find anything she deemed hateful and it was stuff like “wow sam is so tired of dean and cas’s shit lol” and “man jared really disappointed me with his behavior the other day.”
and what i love is that my friend they mentioned? carol? her crime was she forgot to add jared and the always keep fighting campaign to an article about spn charities which she amended and apologized for.
when was this? you’re probably thinking. surely that must have been recent since they’re obviously still upset.
nope. it’s been a year and they’re STILL TO THIS DAY yelling at her about it. she even got to the point where she apologized TO JARED and they yelled at her for THAT because apologies are selfish or some such nonsense.
and yet they still label her as a “heller” and a jared hater despite her being a non-shipper and jared being her absolute favorite. all because of one article and because she’s friends with people who aren’t in the bronly lane. that’s legit it.
Lol what the fuck they came on YOUR post which has nothing romantic on it to moan about you being on their dash for stuff completely irrelevant to this post.
You’re oh their dash because people reblog your posts because they’re great and clearly are Sam positive which is what they follow people for.
If you’re blocked they won’t see your posts. It ain’t hard. If they do for some reason they can scroll by. Or you know just enjoy the stuff that they might like, such as the Sam and brother positive stuff. Wow I know it’s hard to compute not being an asshole but there you go.
This is one of the most hilarious bronly bullshit I’ve seen in ages. What a laugh! They really just show their colours as morons and assholes with this kinda shit.
oh for sure! what’s funny is i’m not blocked
so either they’re mixing me up with someone else, lying, or tumblr goofed

So my girlfriend just tried to break down the immortality that is J2M.
Her first assessment, about Jensen, is common: He’s like fine wine, he just gets better with age. He doesn’t really age, he just… improves.
Then there was Misha, who she described like honey, which is that it really doesn’t change as long as it’s in the right conditions, it stays good, sometimes it looks a little funny but once you tilt it a few times it resets back to its original state
Then there’s Jared
She’s convinced people will misunderstand her so let me preface this with EVERYBODY (but vegans) LOVES CHEESE
It just gets sharper and tastier, but ends up completely like, unrecognizeable from where it started at. That’s Jared. Jared is cheese.
I’m gonna leave this tasty party tray here and run away now.

The LOOK Dean gives Sam.. That’s…not just startled Sam is quick to name a date. Look at how Dean shoots a very hard stare. His face shuts off, it looks like Dean tenses up, even fight-or-flight mode for a split second. Why? Because Dean does remember That Date but not as Jack’s birthday. It’s the date Cas was murdered in front of his eyes. That’s, I think, what Dean’s mind goes to first when Cas says that date. Then when Sam explains it’s Jack’s birthday Dean relaxes.
yes EXACTLY. i didn’t add that deeper destiel analysis on this post because i was focusing on them becoming dads and jack and feels related to that but YES
“forgot” is the wrong word. dean didn’t forget. buried deep to try and forget, yes. but he never could. not for as long as he lives.
When Destiel shippers are accused of seeing Destiel everywhere but antis are the one bringing Destiel in a non Destiel post calling Cas “Sam AND Dean’s best friend”… Dearest logic where did you go?
destiel wasn’t the focus of my post. yes, when you look at it from dean’s pov, it screams destiel. but i wasn’t going to focus on it because that post was about their worst day being the day their lives changed for the better. it was about becoming fathers.
BUT NO IT WAS DESTIEL IN DISGUISE BECAUSE IDK LOGIC
