I’M WEAK

😭😭

well that’s actually how they worked before train companies were regularted by the government and each company used different sized rails. The train would have to stop and change the wheels to fit the size of the new track and it was very costly and inefficient and inconvenienced everyone

Not even 5 minutes into my shift…

Had a little old lady hand me empty plant pots, told me to recycle, and then vanished.

Eh.

You have been visited by the spirit of recycling past, she foresaw a terrible future if you don’t recycle more.

NO, it’s clearly a sign that you must recycle old food into mulch and plant some food before the next harvest moon

This is what the tea that was dumped into the Boston Harbor would have looked like. In the 1700s, tea was compressed into planks; a plank this size could last a person roughly a year. They would be bought in sections, and small slivers would be shaved off into the kettle every time somebody wanted to make a cup of tea.

what the **** that’s so neat

So what you’re telling me is that they were Frisbeeing tea off the ships.

And THAT’S why it was such a big deal; they literally destroyed a couple decades worth of tea with each crate they tossed.

They dumped forty-six tons of the stuff into Boston Harbor; that’s worth $1.7 million USD adjusted for inflation.

People don’t protest like they used to smdh

Here’s a thing I’ve been working on for a while, redesigns for a lot of Sonic characters! I don’t like that as the series went on, the characters became more and more tied to a mold, so my aim was to make them varied, fun, and at the same time, consistent between each other.

Some notes:

• Amy and Shadow are no longer hedgehogs, decided to make Sonic the only hedgehog. To be honest I didn’t settle on what species Amy is supposed to be, though she has some bunny-esque features, but Shadow was based off of tasmanian devils.
  
  
• Amy is now a witch, and her Piko-Piko Hammer acts like a magical girl wand and broom. She’s a spring witch, casting those yellow and red springs you see in Sonic levels from her hammer, which are also two springs!
  
  
• The second Blaze is just her without her sleeves and with her hair untied, to show what her paws and hair look like.
  
  
• Jet is based off of a peregrine falcon
  
  
• Bark the Polar Bear is now a girl.
