shoutout to 10th century norway for having the only medieval penal code (gulaþinglög) i’ve read that not only doesn’t suggest you torture people but explicitly says tortured confessions are made out of fear and you should specifically not listen to them. good job 10th century norway

also shoutout to tumblr mobile for letting me blog exclusively in hot pink

I feel like I’m reading Elle Woods blog

Caring community

  This is the kind of shit people did back in the Depression. When mortgage holds would try to sell a farm, everyone in the community showed up and strong armed any serious bidders away. They had the ‘penny auction’ tactic, where farmers would bid absurdly small amounts on farm equipment and land (while glaring intensely) until the auctioneer realized they needed to take what they were getting, or get their legs broken. This kind of stuff saved so many farms, they’d buy off 500+ dollar mortgages (which were huge amounts back then) for less than 100 dollars and give it back to the farm owners.

   The lesson to take away is that only direct action and community organizing can help in such dire times.

Saudi Arabia gave women permission to drive and this is the first thing they do 😭

This shit’s harder than ANY post malone track

Somebody on twitter called her SaudiB

This track is hard

I saw that someone who speaks Arabic took a stab at translating it and it turns out she’s basically doing a PSA about safe driving rules and I fell in love
