When I die I want to be buried with grave goods that make future archaeologists think I was of much higher status than I actually was so that my grave will be referred to as a princely burial and I’ll be remembered by some cool name like “The Colchester Barrow Princess” (I’ve decided that I will be buried in a highly visible barrow, possibly with a ship) and the National Trust will erect a small museum about me filled with entirely incorrect but cool sounding archaeological assumptions

Be buried literally holding a sword and axe and then sit back and watch the endless ‘powerful warrior queen v. just usual valuable grave goods indicating a high status individual’ debate from the afterlife.

I want a spring-loaded casket and non-degrading glitter. I will be remembered as “that *£^$% thing that killed Professor Hannover”

I wanna be buried with a thousand fidget spinners so future archaeologists will think that they were some sort of ritualistic or religious symbol

tameness and domestication are not synonymous. a feral cat is not a wild animal just as a tamed bear is not domesticated.

for the record:

• domesticated: an animal that has been bred from its wild species to a more domestic counterpart, generally for a specific purpose. greater production output (plants, sheep), work (horses, dogs), and showing/sport (chickens, canaries) are popular reasons for domestication, and animals are often domesticated for more than one purpose. 
  

• feral: an animal from a domesticated species, now living in the wild. cats (F. catus), horses (E. f. caballus), and pigeons (C. l. domestica) are some well known species that have established feral populations.
  

• wild: an animal that is not domesticated, and thus has not adapted to living a life in captivity or alongside humans like a domesticated animal has.

a wild animal can be tame (which is to say, they can be adjusted to human presence and interaction to various degrees) just as a domesticated animal can be feral, but the presence or absence of tameness does not imply anything other than that presence or absence of tameness.

Love this! Also some additions:

–Tame does not mean friendly. Just because an animal has a reduced flight distance does not mean they want you in their space.

–Habituated: An animal that has become accustomed to the presence of humans and becomes less fearful. Wild animals fed by people often come habituated. This is very dangerous and frequently results in human injury and/or the animal being destroyed.

Do Your Fucking Research *Nicki Minaj Voice*

Wow… Lmao.

Some people threw white paint on it a few years back.

They want to be a victim so bad.

Fun Fact: That’s a statue of the fist which Joe Louis used to knock out Max Schmeling, Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer in 1938. Schmeling won the 1st bout by knockout in round twelve, but Joe Louis came back in the follow-up match and laid him the fuck out in the 1st round.

Fun Fact: Schmeling was hated by the Nazis for losing to a black man and for having a Jewish manager, and he hated them right back, stating in 1975 that he was glad he’d lost the fight because the thought of  the Nazis using him for propaganda purposes sickened him. He also personally saved the lives of two Jewish children and later became lifelong friends with Joe Louis.

So maybe don’t refer to him as “Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer”…

Thank you for this additional info!

Reblogging this for the added facts and so people know that Schmeling wasn’t a Nazi or Nazi collaborator and was in fact a good man

Imagine hating Nazis so much that when you get beaten up your response is “Good, now they can’t use me as a role model.”

I literally can’t get myself to sit through movies that don’t have women. I’m like where the fuck are the women? Why are there so many men? This is boring as fuck goodbye

Even if it’s historically accurate?

as everyone knows, women were invented in 1990
