Tentative Humanity

An OOC/eclectic blog for the player of Nikkitah, Wyrmrest Accord. Here is where I intend to hoard things that I find beautiful, inspiring, intriguing, or funny.  This is not a rant blog.  Expect photos of abandoned places and open spaces, reblogs of amazing artists, horrible puns, excessive use of reaction gifs, and whining about the weather.

The Rosy Maple Moth is a very common moth in North Carolina. It belongs to the silkmoth family Saturniidae, which includes several of the world’s largest and showiest moths.  

These moths are forest dwellers, as the caterpillars feed on a variety of trees, including maples. While the larvae are sometimes considered pests of trees due to their leaf munching habits, the adults are completely harmless. In fact, they do not feed at all. Adult Rosy Maple Moths rely entirely on the fat reserves they build up as larvae. (Source)

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Wells Fargo, the second largest U.S. bank by number of branches, just launched an ad that depicts two women practicing sign language before they meet the deaf child they plan to adopt.

Ugly sobbing.

but it really is so important to find people who don’t lose patience with you or get angry if you’re being irrational or insecure or downright ridiculous, it is so so necessary to be treated with gentleness from loved ones and not to be made to feel like you’re irritating or a burden

[icecream-eaterrr]

I just heard this woman say “you procrastinate because you are afraid of rejection. It’s a defence mechanism, you are trying to protect yourself without even trying.” and I think I just realized what was wrong with me.

[eupheme-butterfly]

Yep, this is a very, very common reason for procrastinating.  It’s also why procrastination, even though it’s often associated with laziness, is a fairly common trait in a lot of people with anxiety and perfectionism issues.

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

Just as European sex ed programs are looking to urge more births to combat falling fertility rates, the U.S. might be seeing similar trends in its own birth rate. Not just yet, though. But, according to new numbers from the Census Bureau, more American women of childbearing age are actually childless. Almost half of women between the ages of 15 and 44 didn’t have kids in 2014, with an increase from 46.5 percent in 2012 to 47.6 percent last year.

[galakticbabe]

Well that’s what you fucking GET

[dynastylnoire]

You killed the economy Your police keep killing black people Your colleges over charge per credit hour Your students have crippling debt The minimum wage is not a liveable wage Gentrification has destroyed black neighborhoods and small businesses Rent is too high Day care costs more than rent Food stamps get cut year after year Health insurance is expensive Doctor bills are expensive You had turned men into celebrated misogynists that don’t want to wear condoms or pay for child support or fund abortions

No we don’t want to bring children into a world that has no problem watching us die and blaming us for it.

[sunshineinmyveins]

FUCKING THIS.

[ivorytowerblr]

Birthrates tend to fall in countries that have achieved emancipation for women but do not continue to support women afterwards. Basically, you’re told “you can have a career or you can have kids, not both” and so a lot of women go “fuck it”. Also, consider that if women are *choosing* not to have kids, it’s for a reason. All of the reasons stated above are absolutely correct.

If you want people to have kids, make it seem like a joy and not a burden. Make the world the kind of place you want to bring children into instead of protecting them from it by not even having them. Make sure every child that is born is supported. When parents can live without fearing for their children, there will be more of them.

[theshadowdreams-blog]

I have seen absolutely nothing that would convince me to bring a child into this world. Nothing. I would never be able to bring my child into this world and call myself a good mother knowing the shit they will face growing up.

Tim Gunn on Plus Size Clothing

“Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realistic

[tiny-vessels]

Love him.

[cypheroftyr]

“You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger.” Praise Jesus and all the saints for him saying this because damn, most “PLUS SIZED” clothing is fugly.

[nokki1]

Amen. The plus sized clothing out there is crazy and makes me just…

[trollprincess]

I’m not surprised he said this. Ever since the first season, when they’ve had to do garments for everyday people who aren’t models, there’s always one designer (at the very least) who flips out as though they’ve never in their life considered that people who aren’t a size 0 might wear their clothes. Tim always looks at them like he wants to drown them in a lake.

[gatsbyswidow]

I love Tim Gunn so much and this is just one of the reasons. The other is that he is asexual and has copped a lot of flack for it in the media but he isn’t ashamed of what he is/is completely happy with who is. Next to Diane Von Furstenberg, he is one of my favourite people in the fashion industry.

[shithotawkward]

omg i didn’t know he was asexual he did an it gets better video about it i love him even more
