If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday it could also be known as “2’s Day”
Fun fact! Water actually turns “blood red” when it is contaminated by sulfur creating sulfuric acid. And scientists have discovered that around the time of the plagues a volcano went off that disturbed Egypt’s environment. So the plagues are scientifically proven. The other parts of the plagues are explained by the sulfuric acid river making the animals leave the river and escaping into the human population.
WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THE PLAGUES WERE PROVEN
if anyone wants a full list heres how they happened:
basically they all stem from a massive eruption of a volcano on the island of santorini off the coast of greece. the ash then floated over to egypt which kickstarted the plagues
1) blood: the ash carried the mineral cinnabar, which has the capability of turning water red
2) frogs: the ash also had many toxic and acidic substances so naturally, all the frogs are gonna flee the river
3) lice: given what was going on insects would have burrowed into dead animals/peoples skin and laid eggs, which then hatched
4) beasts: everything is getting poisoned from the ash and toxins, causing animals to freak the fuck out/die
5) pestilence: toxins again
6) boils: the ash would have caused storms that carried acid rain which when it fell, would irritate peoples skin causing boils
7) hail: the storm again
8) locusts: again with the insects and the amount of dead bodies and such which attract more insects. a lotta insects basically.
9) darkness: the ash covered the sky, blocking out the sun
10) slaying of the first born: given that children’s bodies were found in higher numbers than others, some archeologists think they may have been sacrificed to stop all the destruction, but they aren’t 100% sure about that. this is just me but I would say another possibility is that babies/kids are a lot more susceptible to toxins and shit, so while an adult may have been fine or gotten a bit sick, it might have been very dangerous/deadly for kids or babies
the volcano would also attest for the parting of the sea weirdly enough. the red sea was in fact the ‘reed’ sea, and was very shallow, probably waist deep or so. given the amount of shit dumped into the ocean from the volcano, this wouldve caused a tsunami to head towards egypt. the water would get sucked out from the reed sea right before the tsunami hit, letting people pass it easily, then the actual tsunami would hit, fuckin up anyone who tried to follow.
another theory is that the red water was caused by algae, which would cause the frogs and stuff to jump out as well. the algae also carried substances toxic to animals so if they ingested any they’d get sick and die, so more insects. in this theory there was a sand storm coincidentally that caused the rest
some sources: X X
The volcano wasn’t ON Santorini - it WAS Santorini, then called Thera. It completely blew away the Minoan settlements on the island and was one of the largest eruptions in human history.
The tsunamis from the Theran eruption devastated Crete, weakening the then-powerful Minoan civilization, leaving them open to being invaded by the Mycenaeans.
The volcanic winter it created devastated crops in China leading to the fall of the Xia Dynasty.
The abrupt and catastrophic loss of the people of Thera may have also inspired the myths about Atlantis.
this is blowing my fucking mind
I love that if you really boil all this information down, what you get is something approximating “the sinking of Atlantis caused the 10 Biblical plagues of Egypt” which is, like, one of the greatest mythological mash-ups I have ever heard of.
American Girl stories were the best tbh
Dude, read the books, she and her mom freed themselves in Book 1. We don’t disrespect American Girl in this house
Don’t you dare disrespect Addy, or any of my girls for that matter. American Girl used to be legit. Good stories, good dolls, good movies.
Felicity’s story was set in the beginnings of the American Revolution, and addressed the conflict that she faced when her loved ones were split between patriots and loyalists. It also covered the effects of animal abuse, and forgiving those who are unforgivable.
Samantha’s stories centered around the growth of industrial America, women’s suffrage, child abuse, and corruption in places of power. Also, it emphasises how dramatically adoption into a caring family can turn a life around.
Kit’s story is one of my favorites. Her family is hit hard by the Great Depression, and they begin taking in boarders and raise chickens to help make ends meet. Her books include themes of poverty, police brutality, homelessness, prejudice, and the importance of unity in difficult times.
Molly’s father, a doctor, is drafted during the Second World War. Throughout her story, friends of hers suffer the loss of their husbands, sons, and brothers overseas. Her mother leaves the traditional housewife position and works full-time to help with the war effort. They also take in an English refugee child, who learns to open up after a life of traumatic experience.
American Girl stories have always featured the very harsh realities of America through the years. But they’re always presented honestly, yet in ways that kids can understand. They just go to show that you don’t have to live in a perfect time to be a real American girl.
Dont you fucking dare disrespect the American Girls in my house. ESPECIALLY Addy!! That was my first REAL contact with the horrors of slavery, as I read about her father being whipped and sold and her mother escaping with her to freedom, but also how freedom was still a struggle.
A slave doll. Please. Read the books.
Don’t forget Kirsten, the Swedish immigrant who had to deal with balancing her own culture and learning the english language and customs of her classmates, or Kaya (full name Kaya'aton'my, or She Who Arranges Rocks) , the brave but careless girl from the Nez Perce tribe, or Josefina, the Mexican girl learning to be a healer.
And then there are the later dolls, that kids younger than me would have grown up with (I was just outgrowing American Girl as these came out), like Rebecca, the Jewish girl who dreams of becoming an actress in the budding film industry, or Julie, who fights against her school’s gender policy surrounding sports in the 70s, or Nanea, the Hawaiian girl whose father worked at Pearl Harbor.
These books, these characters, are fantastic pictures into life for girls in America throughout the years, they pull no punches with the horrors that these girls had to face in their different time periods, and in many cases I learned more history from these series than social studies at school. And that’s without even mentioning the “girl of the year” series where characters are created in the modern world to help girls deal with issues like friend problems, moving, or bullying. We do NOT disrespect American Girl in this house.
American Girl is probably going to be the only exposure young girls are going to get to history from a female perspective. This is actually kind of important considering that in history classes we dont really get that exposure. We dont hear about what women felt and endured during these time periods cause schools are too busy teaching us about what happened from the male perspective, which is not unimportant, but we need both. Girls need both.
These books were such a crucial part of my childhood and shaped my love of history, which still ensures today. These books can be a young girl’s first lessons in diversity and cultural awareness (hopefully burying that insensitive “we’re all Americans” tripe) and looking at history from more perspectives than just that taught in school. They also are an example of how women have ALWAYS been part of history, which some people would rather us not believe.
I think Kit and Kaya were the newest American Girls when I started “aging out” of the books, but hearing about some of these kinda makes me want to revisit them!
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but you know what?
Nah.
OP (of the tweet thread) was either a actively trying to start shit or is just a huge fucking moron. Probably both.
I’d like to point out that the company that makes American Girl dolls actually doesn’t skimp when doing their research and they don’t make the dolls with the intent to be offensive in any way:
And they departed from the norm in Kaya’s doll to fit her culture! The other dolls all show their teeth, and Kaya does not because that is considered rude in the Nez Perce culture!
It is absolutely true that these books covered the stuff in history that was absent from our history books. I still distinctly remember reading about Addy being forced to eat bugs she missed on tobacco plants, and that started me out from a different perspective and made it easier for me to know to reject the sanitized version of the slave trade we’re taught in school. And these books are targeted at ages 8+, which is a pretty critical time for developing your own thinking and morals.
Reblogging for general awesome
when i was in 3rd grade i was reading the Meet Addy book at school & a couple boys made fun of me for reading a “doll book” - my teacher overheard & started reading Meet Addy to the class after every recess. everyone became extremely invested & by the end of the year we had read the entire collection of Addy books & did a presentation on the civil war at the end of the year that we all presented to the class one by one.
i think back on this & realize that as third graders we were talking about how awful slavery was & because we were simply innocent kids without any societal or institutional influence yet, all of us could kept saying “why would you treat a HUMAN like that ?!” this one girl for her birthday invited all of us for her party & she got the Addy doll - every single one of us (boys included) held her & was in awe of this doll - it was such a touching experience.
i went back home about a year ago & ran into my third grade teacher in the grocery store. she said that year opened up a whole new teaching structure for her. she now reads american girl stories to her students starting day one of class every day to calm them down after recess & she’ll get through maybe four or five sets of books a year. she has the dolls in the room with packets on information from the doll’s time period that her students can “check out” to take home for weekends to care for them.
we oftentimes overlook how powerful toys can be in influencing young children & american girl honestly knew that kids could read intense moments in history & synthesize the issues to learn how to be a better person. my grandma bought me my first doll, molly, when i was only six & the dolls became a huge part of my childhood. when i turned 21 a couple years ago - we were living in minneapolis - she took me to have lunch for my birthday at the american doll place in the mall of america & bought me the Addy doll for my birthday. it was such a powerful moment i hasn’t expected.
i’ve since gotten rid of majority of my childhood toys, but i still have every single one of my dolls & all the books that i plan on gifting to my future children.
i am going to create an environment that is so toxic
The dumb joke is that when cyanobacteria first invented photosynthesis, the oxygen they released was extremely toxic to all the other bacteria that existed at that point. Photosynthesis was so successful and they released so much oxygen that they nearly wiped out all life on earth.
This is called the Great Oxygenation event, or the Great Oxygen Catastrophe, it is to date one of the largest mass extinction events in earth’s history, and as far as I know it’s the single most extreme event of an organism making the environment toxic for other organisms.
Which is always funny to think about from a human perspective, because pretty much all life *except* bacteria could not have evolved if this hadn’t happened.
The Archaea - the really old bacteria that existed before cyanobacteria - are still around, they just live in weird places now like hot springs and the deep ocean where the nasty oxygen can’t reach them.

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:
the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative
a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud
never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to
reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now
dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this
feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)
being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit
Peaking early and feeling like an eternal failure ever since
Remembering what it felt like to be motivated and at the top of your game and you could do ten things at once and cared so much, but now it’s a struggle to keep up with anything
~depression~
~functional depression~ so you feel like you are faking it
Holding a mediocre job and feeling unfulfilled but feeling like you aren’t good enough to do anything else
Being book smart but struggles with social skills and communication with others.
Feeling like you are the worst person on earth for making a mistake or not knowing something
i know that we will never get more percy jackson musicals from the original cast. or maybe ever. so, i just want to make a post about iconic moments in the books and the kinds of songs ive imagined we could’ve gotten if it happened
Sea of Monsters
Percy’s weird dream at the beginning
Tyson having a solo. I’m-
Imagine if we got a ballad for Clarisse here
Tantalus and Percy just being like “fuck you” the whole time
WHEN THEY RUN INTO THE SIREN’S. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD
Circe’s Island
Guinea pig Percy. Don’t talk to me.
If we got DOA when they entered the underworld. Imagine what we would’ve got when they entered Polyphemus’s cave.
The final song with Thalia waking up and then the song arubtly ending and that’s how the musical ends. I’m not okay.
The Titan’s Curse
PERCY AND ANNABETH DANCING TOGETHER. NO SONG BUT I M A G I N E.
Intense singing and then Annabeth is gone when they save the di Angelo kids
OKAY. NICO SINGING TO PERCY ABOUT MYTHOMAGIC CARDS. IDBKADJ
Artemis singing the rules of the hunters of artemis
Thalia and Percy fighting/singing battle
Nico making Percy promise to protect Bianca on the quest. Really good song I bet. Short. But sweet.
The entire dam sequence. Has the same vibes as “Drive”
WHEN PERCY MEETS APHRODITE. PL E A S E
The audience knows. Everyone knows he’s in love with annabeth.
Percy coming back and telling nico about Bianca. AND THEN NICO SINGS ABOUT HOW HE PROMISED AND WE GET THE SAME INSTRUMENTALS FROM WHEN HE MADE PERCY PROMISE THE FIRST TIME.
Percy and annabeth dancing at the end to a song Percy’s singing that he is always going to protect annabeth but she can’t hear him because it’s an inner monologue
The Battle of the Labyrinth
Percy going to orientation and he becomes friends with Rachel. RaCHEL WOULD HAVE THE COOLEST VOICE. YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND.
WAIT. PAUL BLOFIS. MY MAN. GETTING A SOLO. SINGING ABOUT HOW HE WANTS PERCY TO DO WELL. GENUINE CONFUSION FROM WHEN HELL BREAKS LOOSE AT SCHOOL.
Annabeth singing about how she does NOT like Rachel. But in a very sarcastic way.
When they find the Labyrinth. Mini duet song from percabeth. Sbaksb.
More Tyson singing?? But like softly in the background throughout the quest
When they meet Janus that song would be so fun omg
AND THE SPHYNX TOO
When Percy sees Nico giving the dead McDonalds?? I’m sorry that would be so funny and like sad at the same time. It would be one of the best songs.
The kiss on Mt. St. Helens. Need I say more
Calypso and Percy. Calypso would have a ballad song about how she is cursed to fall in love with every hero and how they always leave. And Percy is like “damn that sucks” the whole song so it’s not even that sad but we are feeling for calypso
Percy walking in on his own funeral would be wild in a musical lmfao
Daedalus would have the COOLEST techno song?? I can’t imagine it any other way. Someone please work with me to write the music for this musical. I’m begging you.
Pan’s song would be so sad omg. I’m crying thinking about it.
At the end it’s Percy singing alone on his birthday and then Nico appears in the song and interrupts Percy. And Percy invites him in. Ugh. So good.
The Last Olympian
Rachel starts off this musical and don’t try and convince me otherwise.
DON’T TALK TO ME. CHARLES BECKENDORF BASS VOICE. I’M SCREAMING.
And it’s a GOOD song about them invading The Princess Andromeda.
But we will never see him again but he had a good run with that song
Percy learning his prophecy. Imagine the song being so chilling and serious. It sends shivers down your spine and then the song ends with Percy’s voice cutting in after a couple seconds with “what?”
May Castellan. I don’t want to talk about but you guys know what’s up.
There was originally a song that the creator of the musical talks about that he cut out where Clarisse and Selena are arguing about who’s side they would be on if there was a war. I want that vibe of that song HERE.
The River of Styx. It’s so emotional about how he sees Annabeth sbaksb
When they’re in war already and Annabeth takes that stab. AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS HAPPENING?? Her laying at base and singing to Percy. AAAAA
Okay hear me out. When Selena comes in as Clarisse to fight. The original “Put You In Your Place” music comes on here. But Percy knows it’s wrong because it’s not Clarisse’s voice
Kronos’s songs would be SO badass
Percy summoning his father to join the fight
Percy summoning that HURRICANE. The amount of toilet paper this would need oml
Luke dying would be so tragic in the musical. Annabeth and Luke duet. Eugh.
Rachel becoming the new oracle.
Annabeth singing to Percy happy birthday and they get thrown in the lake but it would be different cause there is no lake. But it’s the campers singing a cute mocking song about the two lovebirds
It ends with the same vibe as “Bring on the Monsters” but we’re all crying instead because it’s over.
I KNOW I MISSED A LOT OF MOMENTS BUT IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANYMORE YOU THINK WOULD BE AWESOME PLEASE ADD THEM IN. I KNOW ITLL NEVER BE POSSIBLE BUT WE CAN DREAM!’

What people think internalised biphobia is:
inability to be proud of your bisexuality
What internalised biphobia is in addition to that:
being convinced you’re not bisexual enough
constantly questioning what if you’re actually gay or straight
feeling like you don’t count as bisexual/LGBT anymore because of your current partner’s gender
feeling like you need to prove you’re “really bisexual” by sleeping with/dating people of different genders
feeling like you’re not a full and equal member of the LGBT community unless you’re in a same sex relationship
feeling like any issues you might face because of your sexual orientation aren’t real or don’t count because bisexuals only have it “half as bad”
prioritising every other issue over bisexual activism because you don’t believe bisexuals deserve support, resources, respect or care as much as other minorities
feeling guilty for being monogamous because you think it takes away from your “bisexual credentials”. feeling guilty for being non-monogamous or promiscuous because you think you’re reinforcing the stereotypes
being ashamed of liking a particular gender because you feel it makes you less feminist/less queer/less pure. trying to minimise or apologise for attraction to a certain gender
being uncomfortable with the word bisexual, thinking it’s shameful, dirty or “just doesn’t sound right”. being scared of, ashamed of or uncomfortable with saying “i’m bisexual” out loud. using euphemism or avoiding the word “bisexual”.
wondering if you just convinced yourself you’re bi for attention and questioning the validity of your attraction and experiences
feeling like you’re deceiving your partners and you need to apologise for/minimise your bisexuality
thinking bisexuality is not as valid, important, political or radical as some other sexual orientations
Here we go again
How and why do dogs do this
