I just want you guys to know that the woman of the confused lady meme is a Brazilian actress
it’s a scene from a soap opera. her character was called Nazaré Tedesco. This was one of the most iconic roles in all of Brazilian soap operas. So here goes another iconic scene (it’s Nazaré kidnapping a baby) that you guys can use to make memes:
I’m so glad this post is still going around
wtf this entire time i thought she was the tall lady from american horror story
I thought it was Julia Roberts
She’s also popular among the Brazilian LGBTQ+ community bc of a scene of her saying “lesbians. I can smell the leather from far away”
I’m yall not being able to tell which white woman is who sdgjllkgd
Some people always get super salty when they come asking for help with a “ghost haunting” and the first thing i ask them is “have you checked your living space for carbon monoxide”.
Like maybe you thought coming to a witch you’d get some neat spell or some shit, but a big part of being a (good) witch is also looking at what is in front of you and ruling out some basic things first, and a lot of the things people describe to me when it comes to ghost hauntings also sound a helluva lot like carbon monoxide poisoning. So like sorry for giving a shit over whether or not you’re actually about to die or not I guess *shrug emoji*
Like I know we joke about my house being haunted (and maybe it is) but when the lights flicker in my house I don’t do a cleansing spell, I call an electrician. You gotta do the physical world things first before you jump to the metaphysical. That’s just how it is.
Esme Weatherwax is that you
I attended a con panel once about hauntings in Texas. The lady running the panel talked about driving down a dark road in Houston one night and seeing this figure in the headlights that was tall, looked like a hunched man standing oddly, and had eyes that reflected in her headlights. As she drove closer the figure spread massive wings and flew away.
She described it as if she saw the fuckin’ Mothman but I immediately thought (but did not say): “Bih you saw a crane.”
She also described seeing UFOs in the suburbs at night: small flying objects with spinning lights that zipped around and hovered overhead before zipping off again. To her these were alien spacecraft. My immediate thought: “Drones. Those are drones. You’re in the suburbs, where people have money and give their kids drones.”

I am, sadly, pretty unsurprised that I’ve never seen politician!Lando in fandom before, because in general the Star Wars fandom (and the Expanded Universe) seems to characterize Lando largely on the basis of a single statement from Han Solo about him.
Han tells Leia that Lando is a card-player, a gambler, and a scoundrel, and the Expanded Universe took that and absolutely ran with it, and, possibly because of the EU, fandom has taken it as gospel truth, too.
But the thing is, that’s only what Han says about Lando. It’s not at all what we actually see of Lando on screen.
The Lando of ESB is, in a word, responsible. That’s how he characterizes himself, a bit ruefully, and it’s borne out by his actions throughout the movie. He’s clearly been a very successful businessman for a while now, and he’s just as clearly respected and liked by the people of Bespin. He tells Han and Leia that he’s one of the few gas mining operations that’s still independent, and he’s clearly proud of this fact. He’s just as clearly invested in the work that’s being done on Bespin. He doesn’t just own the operation. He very obviously cares about it, and about the people who work for him. His decision to give Han, Leia, and Chewie up to Vader is ultimately an effort to save as many people as he can, made because he knows he’s caught between a rock and a hard place but, no matter how much he cares for Han, he is the administrator of Cloud City and the lives of everyone there are dependent on him. He’s responsible for them, and he’s willing to risk himself to protect his people. Only after he’s done all he can to protect them does he allow himself to try to help Han and co.
And when we see Lando again in ROTJ, he’s joined the Rebellion and been commissioned as a general. A general. For a guy who, so far as we know, has held no prior military rank, and who joined the Alliance maybe a year ago, that says quite a lot. Clearly, he’s committed himself to this rebellion – and he’s proven himself, both as a rebel operative and as a leader. From what we see of his interactions with his fighter squads, the other rebel pilots seem to both like and respect him.
So maybe Han is right, and at one time Lando was a card player, gambler, and scoundrel. But that’s clearly in his past, and the Lando we actually see on screen isn’t a scoundrel at all. He’s a respectable and respected businessman and city administrator, with an impressive military record and quite a few well-placed connections in Alliance leadership. He’s shown a definite aptitude for administration and civic leadership, and always puts the people he serves first even at great risk to himself.
In short, he’s excellent material for political office.
