Dark Sky Island

The gorgeous Isle of Sark, the smallest self-governing island in Europe, is located in the English channel 130 miles off the southern English coast. In January 2011 it became the world’s first “Dark Sky island” by controlling light pollution. The island’s single electricity source is an oil-fired power station, and there are no cars, streetlights or even paved roads: you can only get around by bike, horse, carriage or tractor-drawn bus. Due to the lack of light pollution, the Milky Way stretches gloriously overhead—from horizon to horizon across the pristine black sky.

Winona Ryder in high school

“I was wearing an old Salvation Army shop boy’s suit. As I went to the bathroom I heard people saying, ‘Hey, faggot’. They slammed my head into a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out, not the bullies.

“Years later, I went to a coffee shop and I ran into one of the girls who’d kicked me, and she said, ‘Winona, Winona, can I have your autograph?’ And I said, ‘Do you remember me? Remember in seventh grade you beat up that kid?’ And she said, ‘Kind of’. And I said, ‘That was me. Go fuck yourself.’”

The Carnegies and Rockefellers towered economically, like Hagrid over a working-class Umbridge.

Shaking up a Coke bottle is never advisable, especially if you plan to drop a Mentos inside. Unless you’re trying to cause an explosion, you’ll unpleasantly be faced with a large, sticky mess to clean up. Unfortunately, Coke and Mentos weren’t invented in 1763, so the British could not learn that lesson.

We became a nation where sex was a thing for fun and could be purchased. We went from “celibate” to “sell-a-butt.”

these ones aren’t dumb at all ok oh my god
