Constant state of denial @gaiasgal - Tumblr Blog

When your period is 2 days late and you’re scared you’re pregnant/the next Virgin Mary but then your period comes and you’re happy you’re not pregnant but now you’re sad because you have your period:

We talk a lot about how live Rock Lee taking his leg weights off is, but we do not talk enough about opening the gates and putting the fear of god in Gaara with the Hidden Lotus.

And when Rock Lee was unconscious, but stood up on 3 broken limbs and got into his stance? Kishimoto might have only had one brain cell, but that one brain cell’s name? Rock Lee.

Look i dont like looking back at the Naruto years but Rock Lee was a treasure

No offense but women should be allowed to talk about the horrible effects makeup had on their self esteem and how the beauty industry in general affects women in general without having to put ten thousand disclaimers coddling the feelings of women who like winged eyeliner

passionforpasta

Danielle Nierenberg, President of Food Tank, shares a sustainability pro-tip in honor of Earth Day. Instead of wasting leftover pasta water by pouring it down the sink, you can save it, let it cool and use it to water your plants. The starchy H2O will give them a beneficial nutrient boost and help them grow. Just be sure to avoid using cooking water that has been salted or seasoned.

This also applies to leftover water from boiling spinach, potatoes, and hardboiled eggs, according to Reader’s Digest.

this definitely is an amazing thing to plants, it gives them a boost like NOTHING that can be bought in stores. ive had an orange plant that didnt bloom for years and then gave them some pasta/potato water twice a week, and now its blooming like crazy , pretty much over night. and plants that were looking kind of drawn are looking BEAUTIFUL!

it makes me sad seeing bi girls on here coming to terms with the fact that theyre bi and then being like “i‘m not saying i have a voice in the lgbt community because i’ve only dated men, i know my opinions don’t matter because of that i know i’m not really part of the community” it makes my heart hurt. if you’re a bi woman and you’ve only ever dated men, you’re still part of the lgB!!!!!!!t community like that’s what the B stands for!!

95 degrees? You don’t fucking die in 95 degrees.

why-ask-why

Yes, and I thought the same thing too, but please understand… They’re taking about wet-bulb temperature, which I had to look up.

Here’s a YouTube video that explains it too…

So from my limited understanding it would have to be really hot and humid to get a wet-bulb reading of 95°. On the National Weather Service Heat Index, at 80% humidity 95° feels like 136°

Not to panic though. We still have time but I really think it’s up to our youth to take control. Politically and environmentally. Trump just proposed to cut billions of dollars to NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Energy Department, AND the National Cancer Institute. These old rich bastards probably won’t even be alive when it goes down so they don’t care.

I live in Texas. Temperatures above 100-101°F (i.e. 38°C) aren’t uncommon in summer but our humidity is often below 40%. In 2009 I was very habituated to the heat, young, fit, and healthy, and I saw forecasts for Taipei, where I’d be traveling, were going to be not higher than 99°F (37°C).

What I did not count on was a typhoon (Morakot) keeping humidity in the 95-99% range.

I had to sit down every minute I walked, even under a cloudy sky. It’s like trying to suck air through a towel soaked in bathwater. I was pouring sweat and it wasn’t evaporating at all because the air was saturated, which is the point of wet bulb temperature readings: if there’s no evaporation, sweating doesn’t cool you. At that temperature, neither does water; everything you drink is the same temperature you are. Staying still, not exerting yourself at all, only keeps it from getting worse; it does not get better. And the environment I was in only went to body temperature and cooled off to the high eighties (30°C) at night: as long as I didn’t move I’d be fine. We also had the privilege of functional technology, iced drinks: in a brownout that’s not an option.

You should absolutely be afraid of this. We must absolutely prevent this happening. We must move now, because humans will assuredly die, are already dying, and because we aren’t the only ones on this planet with the right to live.

crazy-pages

Wet bulb temperatures (which are basically combined humidity and temperature conditions) over body temperature can be thought of as the point where the methods mammals use to regulate body heat just Stop Working. Every motion you make, every breath, every heartbeat, every nerve impulse heats you up and there’s nowhere in your environment you can dump that heat, so you just get hotter and hotter until you reach a temperature where your organs can’t function and you die. There’s nothing you can do to survive that other than ‘get colder’. And as the article pointed out, that may not be possible when heat impacts the power grid.

…….WHY DOES HE DO THIS!? MY GOD THIS MAN IS JUST FUCKING PERFECT!

lkeke35

I remember in one interview he said he had more money than he could ever spend in a single lifetime, so he just gives the money away. Outside of random strangers, he also gives most of it to various charities, and only grants himself a small stipend to live on, pay rent, buy food, etc.

We love love!!

“Last September, Vietnam’s iteration of The Bachelor made international headlines when a female contestant halted a rose ceremony to profess her love for another female contestant.

“I went into this competition to find love and I’ve found that love for myself,” said a teary-eyed Minh Thu to the bachelor. “But it isn’t with you. It’s with someone else…”

She turned around to face Truc Nhu and Thu asked Nhu to return her rose and come home with her instead. The dramatic moment got even more tense when the bachelor chased Nhu backstage and convinced her to return to the competition.

But the gay agenda is powerful! Two episodes after Thu left, Nhu asked to leave the show because “she already found what she was looking for and it’s waiting for her at home.” Just like that, she and Thu began dating.

Six months later, fans are still following the couple’s relationship and an update on their status recently went viral again.

“Do y'all remember those girls on the bachelorette Vietnam who quit the competition because they fell in love with each other?” asks the tweet with over 27,000 likes. “I just found their Instagram and they’re still together! It’s so cute!!!!”

Read the full piece here

“Their Instagrams are @/thudoll_0211 and @/kattkool_11 !!!!”

can we talk about how this fucking pbs show aimed at little kids easily talked about how anxiety is stressful but normal

akarifilter-deactivated20180205

Ok no but can we talk about this entire episode?

It was called April 9th, and it was actually a response to the 9/11 attacks. It didn’t talk about the attacks themselves, but rather focused on teaching kids to deal with the all of the emotions that they might be feeling as a result. They set up a situation that might evoke similar emotions in children: a massive fire at the school.

Arthur’s dad was in the fire, so (as you can see above), Arthur is constantly worried about his dad’s safety.

Sue Ellen is grieving because her journal, which contained a huge amount of precious memories, was destroyed in the fire. Muffy is confused why she can’t just cheer Sue Ellen up by giving her a new journal.

Buster wasn’t at school that day, and feels confused and guilty that he isn’t sad about the fire like the other kids. He then befriends the school janitor, who has to retire due to an injury that, at his age, is pretty serious.

Binky actually saw the flames, and is constantly traumatized by the event. He doesn’t tell anyone because he feels like he would lose his tough-guy reputation if he admitted that he was scared.

The episode teaches kids that all of these emotions are perfectly normal and natural, that there’s not one right way to feel, and that even if it takes a while, things are going to be okay.

The thing that makes this show so great, in my opinion, is that it knows that kids are intellegent and strong enough to deal with these things if you present them in the right way. It doesn’t hide them, it doesn’t sugar coat them, it just presents them in a way that children can understand and shows them how to deal with them.

Arthur was a damn good show

I understand more and more things about cisgender men the longer I’m on testosterone. I know why teenage boys use so much axe now. I understand the crying thing. I know why they accidentally break things. I know why they wear shorts in the snow. I know why so many of them don’t use washcloths. I see everything.

what-even-is-thiss

Okay. Y’all want explainations? I’ll tell you all the things.

Testosterone makes you warm. With young men especially it can actually get really uncomfortable while their testosterone levels are at their peak. Often times coats and winter pants will keep in all their heat and it gets uncomfortable. So it makes sense to pick a part of the body to be exposed to help them stay cool. The legs tend to be the least uncomfortable part of the body to feel cold on. The arms are uncomfortable, the face hurts when it gets cold, and the torso is where all the important stuff is. It doesn’t actually hurt that much to have your lower legs exposed and there’s no important organs there so that’s what they go with to keep themselves from overheating in their winter jackets. Along this same vein, they might take their shirts off to jog or just have a naked torso in general during the summer because they’re in more danger of overheating than estrogen dominant people. Older men, children, and estrogen dominant people tend to do this stuff less because they have less testosterone and are therefore colder.

The axe thing is because of testosterone as well. Early on in puberty especially and into adulthood as well boys and men will stink no matter how hard they try. People often complain about how men don’t shower enough and while there is some truth to that testosterone makes you sweaty and it makes your smell last longer. It doesn’t smell worse than women’s BO, but it is harder to get rid of and easier to get. Before I started taking T I could get away with taking a shower every other day or even every three days. Now I have to take a shower every day. And some days when I shower, put on deodorant, put body spray on my clothes, avoid heavy physical activity, I still end up smelling awful. I just smell bad and there’s only so much I can do about it and that bottle of axe starts looking really tempting.

With crying? Testosterone just makes you cry less. You still feel all the same emotions. You just don’t cry as much. Men are often socialized to not cry, yes, but even those who haven’t been taught that still cry less. That’s just how testosterone works. They hit puberty and then it’s just harder to cry. It doesn’t necessarily mean they feel less than estrogen dominant people or that they’re repressed. They just have a different physical reaction to emotion.

They accidentally break things because testosterone makes it easier to gain muscle. Sometimes you even do it without meaning to. I already accidentally grabbed or slammed things too hard. Now I have to consciously be gentle. Some people forget about being gentle for a split second. Then things break. Sometimes I look at my hands now like what the hell did I just do. Relearning how to know my own strength. It’s a learning process.

The thing where some men don’t use washcloths and use their hands or a bar of soap instead isn’t because they’re lazy. It’s because they’re covered in hair and the washcloth pulls at it. It’s really uncomfortable actually.

Op have you felt the urge to slap the top of the doorframe yet?

lethargic-flora

OKAY I REALLY WANNA KNOW THAT TOO WHY DO THEY DO THAT???

what-even-is-thiss

That one is to test how tall they’re getting. Men are on average six inches taller than women and it’s fun when you get really tall and can reach stuff you never could before. Once they’re done growing it’s either to demonstrate how tall they are to other people or just because it’s fun. Jumping is fun and slapping the doorframe demonstrates both your height and how high you can jump, or if you’re so tall you don’t need to jump. Hitting stuff is fun too when nobody gets hurt from it. I did that even before I started T lol. I stopped growing before I started T but I still do it because it’s fun. It’s just one of life’s little joys. For a lot of people it also just becomes a habit. Like tapping on a desk when you’re thinking or giving your friend a high five whenever you pass them.
