You seem to be a mtg n music guy. What kind of music do u think the tri colors would enjoy?

visiblespectrummusic:

I am indeed both of those things! Although I have been dormant as of late.

Wedges and Shards are a little bit trickier because there are so many converging ideals (a lot of them conflicting) that make “enjoyment” a little difficult to grasp. Something that I would find a little easier would be trying to determine what kind of music I would write for a movie about them. Along with musical examples!

Bant – Soft, harmonious, mostly major keys. Something ambient and minimalist with a heavy use of vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZf34B8SImo

Esper – Metallic, mechanical, and precise. Something with heavy use of percussion, but also stately and calculated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVYHhcYWttY

Grixis – Dissonant, ugly, and unsettling. Something that doesn’t quite sit well. Think of German Expressionism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-pVz2LTakM

Jund – Tribal and vicious. Primal and angry sounding. https://youtu.be/rP42C-4zL3w?t=209

Naya – Open and airy and with a sense of freedom. People don’t call it happy Jund for nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4e4hnGEgpw

Jeskai – Meditative and pensive, showing restraint and discipline, yet passion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZqpXIa6HQM

Sultai – A lot of percussion. In fact, almost entirely percussion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOcH6nFjv7w

Mardu – Angry, aggressive, wild and free. Almost like a mix of Jund of Naya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05XBQv0dUkA

Temur – Folk music and tribal sounding. Soft and calming, but with a reverence that shows the religious and shamanic aspect of the tribe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E4iAuw70cQ

Abzan – Another clan that I mostly would associate with percussion. Maybe I just have percussion on the brain. They’re the most organized army of the clans of Tarkir so probably something more stately. https://youtu.be/9opcAg3dJEc?t=1890

That’s all I got! I spent way too much time on this but I hope this paints an evocative picture!

Watch: The most wonderful moment of joy came when he entered a Nazi guard bungalow.

We are the last generation who can hear from these survivors directly. Do not take that lightly. Do not waste that opportunity. Do not forget your freedom isn’t infinitely guarenteed. And do not, do not, let it happen again.

Really truly, watch the video, reblog it. Teaching about the holocaust is so necessary for our generation before it slips under the rug and people forget about it.

SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT

So if a teenager is at school for roughly 8 hours, and they are doing homework for 6+ hours, and they need AT LEAST 9 HOURS OF SLEEP FOR THEIR DEVELOPING BRAINS, then they may have 0-1 hours for other activities like eating, bathing, exercise, socializing (which is actually incredibly important for emotional, mental, and physical health, as well as the development of skills vital to their future career and having healthy romantic relationships among other things), religious activities, hobbies, extra curriculars, medical care of any kind, chores (also a skill/habit development thing and required by many parents), relaxation, and family time?  Not to mention that your parents may or may not pressure you to get a job, or you might need to get one for economic reasons.

I will never not reblog this

“…but teenagers have no reason to be stressed.”

hey did you know anxiety levels in high school teens are actually as high as they were in insane asylum patients in the 1950’s? 🙂

From the mouth of a One Percenter –

“Yes, there is a superyachtinvestor.com. Go look at it and it will make you so angry, you could chew glass.”

Hummmmm just wondering what SHE does with her tax break? I mean, did she buy a yacht, or did she spend the money on people poorer than her?

I mean, given that her occupation is listed as philanthropist, that she’s near constantly engaged in philanthropic work and that she’s been honoured by more humanitarian organisations than you can shake a stick at, I suspect that tax break did indeed go toward people poorer than her.
