I'm a bitch, but honestly I'm just like you

Welcome to my blog, I am a Conservative, soon-to-be single mother, and an artist. I like to express myself heavily in my musc, the way I dress, and my art. Love me or hate me, I don't give a fuck, just don't harass me.

While I was taking this picture just the other day on Christmas, I realized something: I am the happiest I have ever been at this point in my life being WITH the love of my life after searching and going through hell for what seems like forever. You see around this time 3 years ago, my ex husband hit me so many times in the face in less than an hour that he had busted my lip while our infant son watched. I filed for divorce not even a week later with the courage Matthew and my father helped me find. Fast forward to present day, and I have a busted lip again. Why? Not because I'm being beaten again, but because the man in this picture accidentally shoulder checked me in the face during a passionate lovemaking session (sorry, this is going somewhere!) Since I have left that POS my life has been so crazy and so hard, but everything was worth it to get to this point. My life did a complete 180° since that day he beat the crap out of me, and it was all because I had someone so loving that was there for me the entire time listening, and giving me the strength to walk away when I felt like staying because leaving would mean everything that happened to me would be for nothing. I was terrified, but my father and Matthew made me see I was wrong. I remember he used to kick me, hit me, tell me the things about me he wished he could change, lie to my face, controlled me, had to know where I was all the time, manipulated me, wanted me to be the silent wife that didn't talk back. He would scream in my face how he didn't love me anymore and that it was my fault. But this man right here? He wakes up in the middle of the nights just to turn over to kiss me and pull me closer. He does anything he can to keep me and my son safe. He TRUSTS me with all his heart. He constantly reminds me that he loves me. He gives me the confidence I have NEVER had in my life. He is the father to my son that he otherwise wouldn't have (my ex-husband disowned him before the divorce was final). Life can take you to unexpected places, but never doubt God. Sometimes the worst things have to happen to you to create a strong foundation to rebuild on top of. Thank you God. #survivor #domesticabuse https://www.instagram.com/p/Br507O9lSuF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=68jldcd3sgvl

Galilean moons

The Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter — Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They were first seen by Galileo Galilei in January 1610, and recognized by him as satellites of Jupiter in March 1610. They are the first objects found to orbit another planet. Their names derive from the lovers of Zeus. They are the first objects found to orbit another planet. Their names derive from the lovers of Zeus. They are among the largest objects in the Solar System with the exception of the Sun and the eight planets, with a radius larger than any of the dwarf planets. 

Io is the fourth largest moon in the Solar System. With over 400 active volcanos, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System. Its surface is dotted with more than 100 mountains, some of which are taller than Earth’s Mount Everest. Unlike most satellites in the outer Solar System (which have a thick coating of ice), Io is primarily composed of silicate rock surrounding a molten iron or iron sulfide core. Although not proven, recent data from the Galileo orbiter indicate that Io might have its own magnetic field.

Europa the second of the four Galilean moons, is the second closest to Jupiter and the smallest at 3121.6 kilometers in diameter, which is slightly smaller than the Moon. The name comes from a mythical Phoenician noblewoman, Europa, who was courted by Zeus and became the queen of Crete, though the name did not become widely used until the mid-20th century.  It has a smooth and bright surface, with a layer of water surrounding the mantle of the planet, thought to be 100 kilometers thick. The smooth surface includes a layer of ice, while the bottom of the ice is theorized to be liquid water. The apparent youth and smoothness of the surface have led to the hypothesis that a water ocean exists beneath it, which could conceivably serve as an abode for extraterrestrial life. 

Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System, and is even bigger than the planet Mercury. It is the only satellite in the Solar System known to possess a magnetosphere, likely created through convection within the liquid iron core. 

Callisto  is the fourth and last Galilean moon, and is the second largest of the four, and at 4820.6 kilometers in diameter, it is the third largest moon in the Solar System, and barely smaller than Mercury, though only a third of the latter’s mass. It is named after the Greek mythological nymph Callisto, a lover of Zeus who was a daughter of the Arkadian King Lykaon and a hunting companion of the goddess Artemis. It is one of the most heavily cratered satellites in the Solar System, and one major feature is a basin around 3000 km wide called Valhalla.

I wasn’t vaccinated and never got sick so

[appropriately-inappropriate]

And I swam and didn’t drown.

Anecdotes aren’t evidence. The reason YOU specifically didn’t get sick is because of something called Mass Immunity.

That means that since everyone ELSE is vaccinated (you’re welcome), there’s nowhere for the virus to establish a hold. That mass immunity is the only thing that keeps people who CANNOT vaccinate—like the immunocompromised—from catching it.

The second that people stop vaccinating, that immunity disappears and the disease resurges, as is clear from the fact that the US is currently experiencing an epidemic of a disease that was projected to become extinct in our lifetimes.

Get immunized. There’s no reason not to.

[gehayi]

or a adinfinitumxx:

Considering that there’s a whole host of people in my age range who weren’t vaccinated enough (even I was missing the second dose of MMR until recently) getting the measles and the mumps I think it’s ridiculous that we’re arguing over a life and death situation. Literally, do you want to live or die?

Also, even if you weren’t vaccinated and never got sick–at least not visibly–that doesn’t preclude the possibility that you picked up a virus and passed it on without knowing it. 

Maybe you had…oh, let’s say measles. But you had no symptoms. Or maybe you had a fever,  or sore eyes, or a harsh dry cough, but that was it. But nothing that said anything was seriously wrong. And in the meantime, you went about your business. Maybe you waited for a bus with an old man, or shared an aisle at the store with a pregnant woman and her wailing one-year-old, or attended a party with your friends.  

And the disease you didn’t know you had? That passed on to the people you met, or to people that they met. The disease you didn’t know you had was passed to a friend at that party, and she passed it to her mother and father, they passed it to their workmates, and now two offices are sick with your measles. The old man you saw at the bus stop? He got pneumonia as a result of the measles you passed to him. The pregnant woman from the store? She miscarried. Her baby, who was too young to be vaccinated? She developed encephalitis and died. 

You’re not the only one who’s being protected by your vaccination. You’re protecting everyone else as well. That’s the fucking POINT of vaccination.

Analemma. The sun’s position in the sky, photographed from the same location at the same time of day throughout a year, forms an analemma. This shows the sun’s apparent swinging from its northernmost position, at the analemma’s uppermost point, at summer solstice, to its southernmost position/lowest point, at winter solstice.
