years ago, i came across the phrase “resting bitch face” online somewhere. i don’t know in what context i read it or where, but i do remember being utterly confused by the concept. like, what even is that phrase supposed to mean?!

and that consternation had only deepened and strengthened right up to the recent past when photos of jd vance began to surface. now it’s 100% clear what the author of that long-forgotten post must have meant when they typed out those three little words.

the human *ears. we need both ears working together to determine the source of a sound.

teamwork makes the dream work, people.

because people can’t misuse laws for pet euthanasia in order to get an early inheritance, or to get their toe in before a will changes.

in many scenarios, euthanasia does make sense but there is ample opportunity for greedy people to misuse such laws. it would be hazardous to enact such a law unless adequate protection is provided.

is this not just affirming the premise of the sixth book? that’s the whole reason why Potter found the Prince’s spells so fascinating. school subjects are not meant to entertain. they are meant to teach.

also, as book five attests–as well as does the subject of history of magic–some syllabi and some subjects were way more boring than others.

my main gripe would be that nobody taught english or any other form of formal communication at hogwarts. i dunno how they all just didn’t end up speaking like Hagrid.
