roisexy:

Gur e m’ anam is m’ eudail
chaidh an-dè do Ghleann Garadh:
fear na gruaig’ mar an t-òr
is na pòig air bhlas meala.

O hi ò o hu ò, o hi ò o hu ò,
Hi rì ri ò hu eile
O hì ri ri ri ò gheallaibh ò

Is tu as fheàrr don tig deise
de na sheasadh air thalamh;
is tu as fheàrr don tig culaidh
de na chunna mi dh’ fhearaibh.
Is tu as fheàrr don tig osan
is bròg shocrach nam barrall:
còta Lunnainneach dubh-ghorm,
is bidh na crùintean ga cheannach.

An uair a ruigeadh tu ‘n fhèill
is e mo ghèar-sa a thig dhachaigh;
mo chriosan is mo chìre
is mo stìomag chaol cheangail.

Thig mo chrios à Dùn Eideann
is mo bhrèid à Dùn Chailleann,
gheibh sinn crodh as a’ Mhaorainn
agus caoraich à Gallaibh.

Is ann a bhios sinn ‘gan àrach
air àirigh am Bràigh Raithneach.
ann am bòthan an t-sùgraidh
is gur e bu dùnadh dha barrach.

Bhiodh a’ chuthag ‘s an smùdan
a’ gabhail ciùil duinn air chrannaibh;
bhiodh an damh donn ‘s a bhùireadh
gar dùsgadh sa mhadainn.

It was my love and my treasure
who went yesterday to Glengarry,
the man with hair like gold
and kisses that taste of honey.

You suit your clothes
better than any man on earth;
you look better in your garments
than any man I’ve ever seen.

You look better in stockings
and comfortable laced shoes,
a dark blue London coat
that cost many crowns to buy.

When you arrive at the fair,
you’ll bring home my gear,
my small belt and my comb
and my little narrow fastening
head-band.

My belt will come from Edinburgh
and my marriage head-dress from
Dunkeld,
we’ll get cattle from the Mearns
and sheep from Caithness.

And we’ll rear them in a sheiling
in Bràigh Raithneach,
in the brush-wood enclosed hut of
dalliance.

The cuckoo will sing
its song to us from the trees,
the brown stag and its roaring
will wake us in the morning.

I caught the fucking mouse

And put him in a tupperware container

And covered it with a book of sheet music 

Go to get something better to put it in 

And turn back to see another mouse pushing the book off the top 

And watch the mouse fly up and out of the container, onto the floor, and into the stove. 

Fucking. Shit.

I just want it to stop eating my food and leave me alone goddamn

Ever wonder why someone you hate pops up on your dash, and you wonder why they pop up on your dash because you unfollowed them ages ago, cuz you hate them and then you realize that it’s because other people you follow are reblogging them.

AND YOU REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS PERSON.

Martha Jones

marcinhates:

lupinatic:

The thing that makes Martha Jones shine so much compared to other NewWho companions, to me at least, is how she was the only one to deal with her end-of-season menace without superpowers.

Rose took the power of the TARDIS, became a literal deus ex machina and solved everything in five minutes flat.

Donna accidentally took on the brainpower of the Doctor and solved everything in five minutes flat.

Amy had the power to reboot the universe and solved the problem of the Doctor not existing in five minutes flat.

Jack was a highly-trained Time Agent, even before he became immortal. 

Rory also dies a lot, was an Auton and retains the memories of 2,000+ years experience. 

River Song is a highly-trained child-soldier Time Baby.

Unlike most other companions, Martha had no extra-special powers beyond her own awesomeness. Her achievement was IMHO greater than the ones above because she did it solely on her own merit. It may have still only been five minutes flat onscreen, but unlike Rose, Donna and Amy all basically snapping their fingers and saying “because I say so, that’s why!” her part in the Master’s downfall was an entire year in the making. While her task was made easier (and by ‘easier’, I mean ‘slightly less impossible’) by the perception filter and Jack’s vortex manipulator, she still spent a year telling stories in a hellish, decimated dystopia of a world. She had to give her entire species hope and faith and never lose her own, while never knowing if her family and the Doctor were even ALIVE, let alone how they were. FOR A YEAR. And this was after two months of racist, classist, misogynist humiliations at Farringham AND supporting the Doctor’s arse in 1969 as well. And she does it all in style, then leaves the Doctor wanting more (finally). This is why Martha Jones is Made Of Win And Awesome.

(Also, it’s notable that the only other New-Who companion who gets no super-upgrades and must be content with being a Badass Normal is Mickey Smith, the other black companion.)

Abortion debates on Facebook provide me amusing (aka worrying) quotes to post on here from apparently pro-choice cis dudes. [trigger warning]

dailymurf:

  • a selfish act has not only killed a viable human being but has severely hurt the father” - the hurt men feelz argument
  • “Yeah, not everyone wants to be pregnant, that’s why there’s things like birth control, and not having sex”- because protection and abstinence always work, apparently
  • I accept that a woman has a right to make decisions about her own body, but this is tempered by the rights of others, most importantly the baby, and in some cases, to a much lesser degree, the father” - apparently babies are involved in abortions and a woman’s right will always be tempered by something else
  • So yes, a pregnant woman is an incubator for a human being” - unapologetic assholeism
  • Also, just because I’ll never be something or know how something feels, doesn’t mean I can’t take part in making rules for it. E.g. I’ll never be a millionaire, but it doesn’t stop me from advocating higher wealth taxes.” - because bodily autonomy is apaprently the same as money and taxes
  • the baby’s right to life - if it is sufficiently human to be called a baby - trumps the woman’s right not to feel extreme pain and discomfort every time” - says the poor menz
  • i think that the time should be no more than 20 weeks” - because it’s okay for dudes to control the time limit for abortions, apparently
