the wildest thing happened to me the other day i found out a male coworker is into irish music so i told him that my dad is an irish musician and would he like to come to a session and he straight up irl said to me “name 5 irish songs your dad knows”

he asked me if i play and i told him i played the fiddle when i was a teenager but havent played in years and he was like “oh cool. i play drums” as in a drum kit you know the famously folkish instrument the drum kit. bitch my name is molly o’reilly you really wanna challenge the legitimacy of my irish music involvement

i can name 5 songs with my name in them

kinda funny when english teachers say stuff like “i can tell if you didnt read the book” or “i can tell when people bs their paper”

no you cant.  you can tell when people are bad at bs-ing their paper.  i didnt even read the sparknotes and i barely skimmed the wikipedia and you gave me an A.  you kneel before my throne unaware that it was born of lies

“YOU KNEEL BEFORE MY THRONE UNAWARE THAT IT WAS BORN OF LIES” IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SENTENCES I’VE EVER READ AND I CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE IT’S ON A POST ABOUT BULLSHITTING ON ASSIGNMENTS.

Please pray for us here in Greece.

Three different places near Athens were destroyed by massive forest fires.

• 180+ people are severely injured and burnt.

• 50 people and counting were found dead on the streets, in their cars or houses, including families that were found hugging each other.

• 100+ are missing.

This is a national tragedy. So many were lost because of ARROGANT PEOPLE.

Spreading awareness. There’s no need for such things to happen, so many lives were destroyed for no reason.

Here’s some more articles here about the fires

here here and here

And some important excerpt about current info:

“Whilst the definite cause of the wildfires is unknown, the weather conditions created a deadly environment for a fire to spark. Scorching hot weather in Greece has dried out undergrowth and foliage, making any flames easily able to spread. Wind speeds of up to 50mph have also contributed to the spread of fire. Authorities are also employing a drone to scan the area the fires have come from, to rule out any suspicious activity. How far have the fires spread? The fires are on the east coast of Greece and have spread across residential areas and towards beaches.
It is not yet clear how many acres of land have been covered by the flames but strong winds have fanned flames stretching as wide as four miles near Kineta, local officials said. An Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) spokesman said: “The wildfires in Greece are northeast of Athens in the Penteli area and 50km west of Athens.“This area isn’t a main destination for UK tourists. People on holiday in the region are advised to monitor news reports and follow any advice or instructions issued by the local authorities, their travel company or their accommodation providers.“

And here is a site with a collection of resources of where to donate and how to help. I obviously don’t live in Greece, so I’m not 1000% about all of these resources, but it’s here if you can spare some change or compassion.

You can try to donate here if you want, though the source isn’t actually very known, I actually saw that right now. They haven’t said anything about that in the news, though I believe it may be trustworthy.

btw a relief fund is being set up by the hellenic red cross http://www.redcross.gr/ which you can donate to through the following bank account:
