Antibiotic Hell
Anyone have advice on antibiotic burnout/rebuilding your gut bacteria? Been in immense pain for upwards of a week now. Doing what I can with some strong probiotics and a very bland diet, but I can’t eat more than a couple mouthfuls of bread before I’m doubled over in pain. Tired. Dehydrated. Hungry.
okay so I just feel like making a Partner Appreciation post, because my partners are *~so so so so good~* I am in an incredibly supportive, healthy, open, fun, beautiful, queer-as-fuq, partially long distance relationship with these two and I don’t even know where to start with how special and important and loved they are. I never thought that I would meet people who loved me and challenged me and accepted me the way they do. I have one moment (or a thousand????) every day where I am completely overwhelmed by their presence in my life. They have witnessed me stumble and soar. They have witnessed me in many forms, and remained by my side, offering councel, critique, kisses, snuggles, and shoulders to cry on. It has been hard at times, and undoubtedly it will be hard again, but that’s part of it! Working through struggles in communication, sex, distance, feelings for others (which are a-okay and kind of totally inevitable because love and babes and polyamory exist duh), and a breakup, I have learned and continue to learn so much about myself, about my partners, and about a healthy relationship and how it operatesit looks to me. So, ya, love love love these two beans to the moon, to the center of the earth, and back. in my heart forever xoxoxoxo
<3 Yer making me blush redder than a beet. So much love.
Margaret Cho creates #whitewashedOUT to fight Hollywood whitewashing
Coined by Asian-American actress and comedian Margaret Cho, #whitewashedOUT is a rallying cry against the erasure of Asian actors and roles which also coincides with Asian-Pacific-American Heritage Month. One response tweet shows exactly how white people should respond to this fight.
pretty sure I still have a crush on her
For lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people, today’s legal and legislative landscape is a season of light and a season of darkness.
MAC called out for cultural appropriation with new “Tribe” collection
Some companies just can’t seem to take a hint. The latest perpetrator: MAC Cosmetics. A few weeks ago, the beauty brand’s newest collection, #MACVIBETRIBE, was leaked on social media. To make things worse, according to the brand, the new line is “festival themed.” At least, Teen Vogue is showing us what diverse style looks like without appropriation.

Why. Why is anything with a slight southwestern look “tribal” now. And how irresponsible for such a large company in this day and age to produce something so offensive.
How women prepare for first dates
Bonus: How men prepare for first dates:
Accurate.
Okay but the first set of gifs is not a joke like that’s literally how it goes.
One of the girls at work won’t get in the guy’s car unless he agrees to let her take photos of him and his license plate to text to her mother. If he gets mad or makes a fuss she cancels the date and goes back inside.
Reblogging for that 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
I’ve had someone take pics of me and my license plate on a first date before & I was okay with it. I’ve also had a friend allow me to view the tracking on her phone when she went to meet up with a guy the first time. This isn’t a joke at all & women have good reason to worry.
i have only ever met 2 people online, and made sure that we met up somewhere that was 1) public 2) close to my home.
After, I walked to the dollar store that was a couple shops down until I knew they were gone, before walking home.
Louis C.K. kind of nailed it. Men worry that their date won’t measure up to their aesthetic preferences. Women worry that they’re going wind up dead.
The disparity is RIDICULOUS, and the fact that dudes get offended when women try to protect themselves is hard proof that way too many guys Do Not Understand how dangerous it is to be a woman. (Not to mention it’s fucking insulting. “How dare you not trust your life and safety to a complete stranger whose intentions you have no way of knowing”?)
Lookin’ at the notes on this post following my earlier reblog and just going….
Wow. WOW. Look at all these sheltered people and their internalized misogyny.
The point isn’t, “NOT ALL MEN ARE OUT TO GET YOU.”
The point is, “WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING A NICE GUY FROM A SERIAL KILLER.”
It’s not like they fucking wear nametags, okay? Moreover, the most awful people with the worst intentions often put on the nicest face or deliberately make themselves seem harmless and likeable, to lull potential victims into a false sense of security. (Read up on Ted Bundy sometime. It’s horrifying shit. Or read any thread on the “Let’s Not Meet” subreddit.)
In order to protect ourselves, we are forced to assume the worst of every man we meet, because statistically speaking, the biggest danger to women…IS MEN. Saying “not all men are out to get you, you’re just being paranoid” is like saying “not every car you ride in is going to crash, so buckling your seatbealt is stupid.”
When dealing with an unknown situation, in the absence of absolute proof of safety, exercising a little extra caution can be the difference between life and death. Shaming women for being what you may view as overly cautious is every bit as horrid as blaming them if something goes wrong later on.
And refusing to go to a secluded location with a complete stranger without letting someone know where you’re going, who you’re with, and how to find you is just common street sense, whether you’re on a date or just going out for business or social purposes.
If your life has been so sheltered (or your coping skills so incredible) that you see no need to distrust strangers or worry about the potential for violence, you should thank your lucky stars.
And you should also be aware that just because it hasn’t happened to you or anyone you know does not mean that it doesn’t happen.
Lemme say that louder for the people in the back.
Just because it hasn’t happened to you or anyone you know does not mean that it doesn’t happen.
This 💯
do you want to know something?? I always wondered what the hell kind of hairstyle the Ancient Egyptians were trying to portray with depictions like these
and this
until I did my hair this morning and
oh
welp
you can take the noses off our statues but until you find a way to take Egypt out of Africa we’re still going to find ourselves
I’m reblogging this post without all the salty, racist commentary because I’m sick of looking at it. please spread this around again in its pure form for posterity.
What’s funny is that white people thought they were hats/crowns 😂
ESIUQRAM
Here’s a really good post about this.
And here’s some pictures of the Afar people, who still live on the horn of Africa today.
Cool, huh?
Beautiful
People thought it was Hats and Crowns? How could they not see hair?
The same reason archaeologists, upon finding a woman’s skeleton in the grave of a famous Roman gladiator, immediately wondered where the gladiator’s skeleton was: Old Straight White Man™ brand denial.
