There’s this girl at my school and she’s really nice and I remember sometime last year at one point she would carry a clicker around and click it everytime she had a happy thought/something good happened/she laughed etc. It was always kind of cute how you’d just hear the little click every once in a while throughout class it always made me smile knowing that it was bc something made her feel happy idk

[blackwoolncrown]

she was training herself to be happy oh my god

[aureliaborealis]

does it work???? Imagine feeling yourself slipping into depression and you just click a few times and your brain says “wait, this is the sound of happiness I have to release serotonin”

Matthew 22:37-38 (NKJV) - Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the first and great commandment.

“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Fun fact: If my younger sister was in a car accident and desperately needed a blood transfusion to live, and I was the only person on Earth who could donate blood to save her, and even though donating blood is a relatively easy, safe, and quick procedure no one can force me to give blood. Yes, even to save the life of a fully grown person, it would be ILLEGAL to FORCE me to donate blood if I didn’t want to.

See, we have this concept called “bodily autonomy.” It’s this….cultural notion that a person’s control over their own body is above all important and must not be infringed upon. 

Like, we can’t even take LIFE SAVING organs from CORPSES unless the person whose corpse it is gave consent before their death. Even corpses get bodily autonomy. 

To tell people that they MUST sacrifice their bodily autonomy for 9 months against their will in an incredibly expensive, invasive, difficult process to save what YOU view as another human life (a debatable claim in the early stages of pregnancy when the VAST majority of abortions are performed) is desperately unethical. You can’t even ask people to sacrifice bodily autonomy to give up organs they aren’t using anymore after they have died. 

You’re asking people who can become pregnant to accept less bodily autonomy than we grant to dead bodies.

But, assuming the mother wasn’t raped, the choice to HAVE a baby and risk sacrificing their “bodily autonomy” is a choice that the mother made. YOu don’t have to have sex with someone. Cases of rape aside, it isn’t ethical to say abortion is justified. The unborn baby has rights, too. 

[fandomsandfeminism]

First point: Bodily autonomy can be preserved, even if another life is dependent on it. See again the example about the blood donation. 

And here’s another point: When you say that “rape is the exception” you betray something FUNDAMENTALLY BROKEN about your own argument.

Because a fetus produced from sexual assault is biologically NO DIFFERENT than a fetus produced from consensual sex. No difference at all.

If one is alive, so is the other. If one is a person, so is the other. If one has a soul, then so does the other. If one is a little blessing that happened for a reason and must be protected, then so is the other. 

When you say that “Rape is the exception” what you betray is this: It isn’t about a life. This isn’t about the little soul sitting inside some person’s womb, because if it was you wouldn’t care about HOW it got there, only that it is a little life that needs protecting.

When you say “rape is the exception” what you say is this: You are treating pregnancy as a punishment. You are PUNISHING people who have had CONSENSUAL SEX but don’t want to go through a pregnancy. People who DARED to have consensual sex without the goal of procreation in mind, and this is their “consequence.” 

And that is gross.

This is probably the strongest and well worded/supported argument for abortion that I have ever read.

WHY THE FUCK HAS TUMBLR FLAGGED THIS?! i’M FUCKING FURIOUS!!!

[atlinmerrick]

Yep, this was flagged for me too. Which is why I’m going to reblog it several time until Tumblr implodes.

What Nestle also did was file a lawsuit against activists and researchers who saw what it was doing, and said it can’t be held responsible for the deaths of millions because this was caused only by contaminated water. Recently enough, Nestle milk powder had larvae found in it and it’s instant noodles had lead in it

[ororomunroedontpullout]

Also Johnson and Johnson have been fighting and losing cases about their powder causing cases about their powder causing cancer. They’ve denied that and links to asbestos (which means they were lying as people died) and the cancer disproportionately effected Black women

[imfemalewarrior]

My grandmother told me that when she was having her children baby powder companies would tell Women that breastfeeding was unhealthy and made your baby sick and baby powder was superior to breast milk. In the early days of baby powder babies would die from malnutrition because the baby powder did not have all the necessary nutrients in it. 

If you can’t produce enough milk it is perfectly alright to supplement with baby formula, but research different brands available to you, and I would not purchase from either of these brands. 

I’m reblogging this for any Women following me with babies.

LISTEN UP TUMBLR!! STOP SCROLLING

NETFLIX IS AT IT AGAIN CANCELLING A SHOW THAT DESERVED MORE EXPOSURE. YES I’M TALKING ABOUT ANNE WITH AN E. 

It’s a wonderful loose adaptation of Anne of Green Gables that you surely have seen through cute gifsets like this 

It’s about family it’s about friendship it’s about belonging and it’s probably the purest, loveliest show you’ll ever see. It’s written by women, directed by many female directors, the producers and showrunner are also female, this is RARE AS HELL. It introduced LGBT characters, it introduced many POC characters, native americans, it started talking about residential schools (and that storyline isn’t even RESOLVED), it talks about consent and women’s rights, it had JUST introduced a character that was deaf and mute. It’s just about as great as it could possibly be, yet this might be all over after JUST 3 SEASONS. 

It’s not even out on Netflix yet, and it’s already announced that it will be the last season. It aired on CBC already, so we KNOW the season is good (even more, it’s AMAZING), but there isn’t enough ads for it and it’s not promoted enough (if not at all) by Netflix. 

THIS IS A BROOKLYN 99 SITUATION. We need YOU to help us save the show even if you don’t watch it. 

Here’s what you can do:

1. TALK ABOUT IT. As much as you can! Talk about it on the internet AND around you. Too many people reply under gifsets by asking what show it is. 

2. Tweet with the hashtags  #renewawae or #renewannewithane, tweet @cbc​ or @netflix​. We need to make noise so they understand these stories matter!

3. WATCH IT. So many people say Shirbert looks so cute but that they’ve never seen a single episode of the show, well NOW IS THE TIME. You can watch the episodes already out on the CBC website by using a VPN (DO NOT PIRATE THEM. WATCHING THEM ON THE WEBSITE ISN’T HARD, IT’S GREAT QUALITY, AND IT GETS THE VIEWS IN)

4. STREAM IT TOO WHEN ITS OUT ON NETFLIX, JANUARY 3RD. Play it on in the background while you shower or cook or do your homework if you don’t actually watch it, or simply rewatch it a bunch of times (this season is great so trust me you’ll want to)

MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THESE ARE THE SORT OF STORIES WE WANT TO SEE TOO, NOT JUST RIVERDALE AND STRANGER THINGS AND BIG CASH GRABS.

“Dogs don’t know what they look like. Dogs don’t even know what size they are. No doubt it’s our fault, for breeding them into such weird shapes and sizes. My brother’s dachshund, standing tall at eight inches, would attack a Great Dane in the full conviction that she could tear it apart. When a little dog is assaulting its ankles the big dog often stands there looking confused — “Should I eat it? Will it eat me? I am bigger than it, aren’t I?” But then the Great Dane will come and try to sit in your lap and mash you flat, under the impression that it is a Peke-a-poo… Cats know exactly where they begin and end. When they walk slowly out the door that you are holding open for them, and pause, leaving their tail just an inch or two inside the door, they know it. They know you have to keep holding the door open. That is why their tail is there. It is a cat’s way of maintaining a relationship. Housecats know that they are small, and that it matters. When a cat meets a threatening dog and can’t make either a horizontal or a vertical escape, it’ll suddenly triple its size, inflating itself into a sort of weird fur blowfish, and it may work, because the dog gets confused again — “I thought that was a cat. Aren’t I bigger than cats? Will it eat me?” … A lot of us humans are like dogs: we really don’t know what size we are, how we’re shaped, what we look like. The most extreme example of this ignorance must be the people who design the seats on airplanes. At the other extreme, the people who have the most accurate, vivid sense of their own appearance may be dancers. What dancers look like is, after all, what they do.”

— Ursula Le Guin, in The Wave in the Mind (via fortooate)
