Something About Eggs And Toast @a-girl-worthfighting-for - Tumblr Blog

Today marks the 104th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, the systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire.

Every year, on the eve of this day of rememberance, young people across Armenia gather in Yerevan and march to the Genocide Memorial with torches, in the memory of the victims of the Genocide.

To this day, both Turkey and Western powers like the United States, refuse to recognise this monstrous reality that forever marked the Armenian people, its scars still visible over a century later.

It’s about time for the perpetrators to assume responsibility.

It’s about time the tiniest bit of respect was paid to all those brutally tortured, raped and massacred.

In order to properly heal, justice needs to finally be served.

I know we’re all tired of heterosexuality and maybe I’m just being bi wrong but I’m interested lately in stories about women loving men differently, a fighter going on a quest to bring back the only cure for their husband’s sickness, a woman motivated by love for a man who got fridged for their development, a dangerous primordial force that nonetheless finds themselves loving a virginal young man who stumbled on their enchanted bower

There’s probably a ton of that everywhere and I’m just not looking in the right places though

You’re not doing anything wrong. I honestly don’t think people are as tired of heterosexuality as they are of all the rubbish gender expectations that straight people pile into romance narratives. You’re doing a lot of good by writing the stories you’re writing, because a lot of us are starting to treat relationships between men and women like they’re automatically destined to be shitty and/or boring. Which they don’t have to be in real life, nor do they have to be in fiction.

THATS ALL THE BIG SCARIES IN ONE BUG TFFF JU

Give it a dime, apparently.

Had to go research this thing, and the answer to what to do if it stings you is scream.

from Wikipedia-

“One researcher described the pain as “…immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one’s ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations. In terms of scale, the wasp’s sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt sting pain index, second only to that of the bullet ant, and is described by Schmidt as “blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric”.“

Soooooo…dissociate to escape or?

It’s laying eggs in you.

Let’s back up a second and fully appreciate that description.

The Schmidt sting pain index, a widely used classification system for the bites and stings of ants, bees and wasps, is literally the personal ranking system of a guy named Justin Schmidt, who goes around letting bugs sting him for science. Like, that’s this Thing as a scientist.

In one entry, he describes the sting of the common bee as “almost pleasant, [like] a lover just bit your earlobe a little too hard.”

In another, the sting of the yellowjacket is described as “hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.“

So when the Schmidt sting pain index characterises the sting of the tarantula hawk as “blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric”, well, now you know what your standard for comparison is!
