These covers aren't really all that similar - they just put me in mind of each other. :)

The new button layout has arrived in Opera... blowing away Tumblr Savior in the process.

And individual postings still don’t have the Like Reblog Unfollow Dashboard buttons at top right, nor the Edit Delete Reblog Dashboard buttons on my own posts - which means I’m constantly switching back and forth between Opera and Firefox. Bah.

ETA: Here I am in Firefox, editing this posting! Updating Tumblr Savior provided an instant fix - kudos is due!

As an aside, Tumblr still chides me for having Missing E installed, when I haven’t in fact had it installed for many months. Maybe if I do install it, I’ll be able to edit my postings etc!

i'd like to know the story of this…

This is oddly beautiful.

*nods*

I'd like to know the story behind it too. In the meantime, though, if I had to caption it like one of those one-sentence story thingummies:

They Tried.

Do I detect a hint of Issues there, Franz? ;)

So far this year more Americans have been killed on U.S. soil by toddlers than terrorists

It's true. A far too long list of gun deaths caused by ➤kids with guns

Trenton Mathis and three other children were placed in the home, which was deemed unsafe by CPS,  late last year after 'abuse and neglect' was reported in their parents' home which resulted in their removal from their residence, then placed with their great-grandparents. Both great-grandparents were at the home when the shooting took place, according to police.

…So obviously, the NRA is going to tell us that the clear solution is to place more restrictions on people having toddlers.

A stela showing women worshipping the deified Ahmose-Nefertari, in which the difference in colour is very obvious. Were other queens deified like this, and if so, were they too shown with black skin? How about pharaohs? I shall investigate… (via Adoring Ahmose-Nefertari)
