By the way, just in case this helps someone -

COOKING - creativity is okay

BAKING - stick to the recipe (you can usually adjust sugar content to taste, though)

BREAD - wait for the right weather conditions (or engineer them), be one assertive and self-confident motherfucker because dough can feel it if you aren’t, a blood sacrifice probably helps, trust the gods

My boyfriend and I were downtown and he saw fresh sunflowers, which is his best friend’s favorite flower, and he not only bought one for him but had me drive him to his best friends house so he could surprise him with it and I just think this is the type of male friendship that should be normalized

4) we get excited when our date buys us an appetizer, we don’t even comprehend people buying us rocks that would force us into debt for ten years

5) They aren’t actually that rare and the price is artificially inflated.

Pro tip from a former Jared’s salesperson: You want a sparkly white rock that will look like a diamond to the untrained eye and will literally cost the price of a nice dinner for two? Created white sapphire. They’re lab grown and cost *pennies* to make, so you can get a 1 or 2 carat white sapphire for like… $30-80 probably. You can get one as huge as you like, perfectly clear, perfectly flawless. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference except a professional appraiser. Also, sapphires are the second-hardest gemstone (right after diamonds) so they are very durable! Very unlikely that they’ll chip or crack. Get that bitch set in sterling silver and you are GOOD TO GO. Whole thing should cost you less than $200 unless you get a fancy band with a lot of extra stones. Of course, created sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, so if you want something more exciting than plain white, you TOTALLY CAN.

engagement rings: HACKED

[styna]

Get a ring from an antique store. They’re usually less than $100, you know they hold up over time, no one else will have one like it, and it comes with the bonus of being haunted by the spirit of some old woman named Edith probably.

Keto is honestly the best diet like if I can eat a bacon cheeseburger and lose weight then the universe has aligned or something.

[lesbiangender-deactivated201908]

wild idea here but… instead of pushing this idea that teenagers can’t be asexual bc they’re children and not wanting sex is normal, how about “if you identify as ace as a teenager but later realize you just didn’t want sex bc you were a kid and stop identifying that way, that’s okay” and realizing that doesn’t mean no one can know they’re asexual as a teenager and stop maybe telling asexual teenagers that they’re too young to be ace bc that’s really weird given that teenagers are cetainly capable of being non-asexual also you totally can’t decide something like that for someone else

[cookingwithroxy]

‘Here is your label, you can never change it’ is one of the most toxic things I’ve ever seen and honestly is the worst parts of pretty much any community there is. It keeps people from being willing to change or even self-reflect, because once they get a label it’s impossible to free themselves from it. And it’s behind all the ridiculous ‘well at one point you said a thing that all these years later in a different context doesn’t sound all that good so you’re a bigot and everything you do is terrible’ nonsense going around this hellsite.

[jumpingjacktrash]

teenagers especially need to be able to say “this is where i’m at now, it could change later, it’s valid either way,” because they’re still evolving really fast

anyone at any time in life can discover something new about themself and no one gets to tell them what they’re feeling

“withholding sex” is an evil phrase that should be abolished from our collective vocabulary

Good morning everyone today’s discourse is: *throws dart at spinning wheel*

Nobody should be pressured to use any specific menstrual product and should be only encouraged to use what they’re comfortable with, however when having this conversation some of y’all REALLY get into some serious fearmongering territory over tampons and toxic shock syndrome and should quit that

[tomcats-and-tophats]

“Toxic shock syndrome” is essentially a complication in a staph or strep infection, which are caused by VERY common bacteria. Ever had strep throat? It’s the same bacteria, and any wound is at risk of being infected.

The reason it’s so heavily associated with tampons is because of a tampon called “Rely” released in the 70s, which utilized a new hyperabsorbant material… and people were leaving them in for DAYS at a time. Who would have thought - leaving a ridiculously full tube of blood in your body for an unheard of amount of time would be a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and it was SO effective at absorption it dried out vaginas everywhere… leaving them at risk of abrasive damage, which is, again, not great to have beside an over-encumbered bacteria generator.

That caused a serious spike in TSS, and once it was figured out, that specific material was banned for use in tampons and all the “don’t leave it in for more than 8 hours” warnings were added to all packaging.

Based on this article from Dec. 2017, there are now less than 1 in 100 ,000 cases of TSS reported annually in the United States… and not all of them are even related to tampons since again, TSS is a complication of a staph/strep infection, which can be contracted anywhere.

And even then, nowadays those infections - while still nasty - are perfectly treatable.

If you use tampons:

-don’t leave them in for an extreme amount of time (like 8+ hours… which most people cannot do comfortably anyways)

-don’t use ones that are too big for your shape and flow

-don’t use them if you have a vaginal wound

-don’t apply them with dirty hands

-make sure they’re clean and fresh out of the wrapper

(And I don’t have specific details right now but I imagine being immunocompromised would also be a factor - but that’s something best discussed with your doctor, I think.)

If you don’t use tampons, then that’s cool too!

But when we talk about our options for menstrual products and the positives and negatives for everyone, ESPECIALLY when it comes to ending stigma around different types of products, let’s NOT lean into another kind of stigma that is perpetuated by fearmongering and misinformation.

You may find tampons to be uncomfortable, even painful, less effective for you, or just plain gross, and that’s all perfectly fine. But you’re incredibly unlikely to get TSS from using them if you practice basic hygiene and follow common sense.

what prision should be 4:

rapists

pedophiles

murderers

abusers

what prision shouldn’t be 4:

non-violent drug dealers

drug addicts (who need help + support, not prison time)

protesters/activists

poc who get arrested 4 doing things white people would never get arrested 4 doing

rape/incest/abuse/etc victims who kill their attackers (self defense)

homeless people who are just chilling + not doing anything illegal (like a homeless person is just sleeping + the cops arrest them 4 some dumb reason)

a lot of people, actually (ex. people who steal like a single apple bc they’re starving, people who take animals from abusive owners, squatters, undocumented immigrants with no/minor criminal records, prostitutes + sex workers, poor people, the mentally ill, etc)

From the somethingawful forums, the live thread when 9/11 happened

[garbage-empress]

http://www.truegamer.net/SA_911/911%20SATHREAD/

This thread was wild, especially because the OP was posting webcam photos from nearby right after the first plane hit. Possibly before CNN even reported on it. 

wow terrorists hijacking a plane that’s fucking rich, you idiot, you complete buffoon

This poster might be one of the first dozen people in history to publicly accuse Osama Bin Laden, possibly before any news agencies, and their post has the words “ROTFL Owned” in it.
