Apparently the current proposed name of the hypothetical ninth planet is Persephone which is such a good name I’m mad I didn’t think of it.

[charlesoberonn]

Allow me to explain why it’s such a great name:

It pays homage to Pluto, previously known as the ninth planet, since Persephone was Pluto/Hades’s wife in Greek Mythology

It helps make up for the gender inequality in the names of planets, since Venus is the only other planet named after a woman

If it exists, it’d be the coldest planet in the Solar System, and in Greek Mythology, it was Persephone’s time spent in the underworld that caused winter

[darkbluemint]

I’m into this

[swan2swan]

I can’t believe none of the reasons were “It’s what Pluto would want.”

#if he can’t be a planet at least his wife can

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

My science teacher gave me this particularly mind blowing thought: What if the expansion and shrinking of the universe every 30 billion years is just the result of an unfathomable sized creature breathing.

Cellulite is a female secondary sex characteristic and should be celebrated as a rite of womanhood, not despised or eradicated.

[blackvulva-deactivated20150627]

it’s really a secondary sex characteristic?! 

[thentheysaidburnher]

It is. It has to do with the way our bodies network fat. Female bodies create sort of a mesh network to support fat (female bodies are MUCH more hardy in times of stress) and it can present as delightfully lumpy. More than 90% of women have visible cellulite, but all women store fat in this manner.

[blackvulva-deactivated20150627]

why did no one tell me this?!

[radiant-humble-deactivated20161]

You know why :/

[raspberry-mouse]

Spread this. I only just started to see mine and I started to freak out a bit. More people should/need to know about this

[shamelesslyunladylike]

Here’s an illustration of the aforementioned difference in fat storage.

Men’s lattice pattern collagen threads holds subcutaneous fat in a way that, when the skin expands because of the fat storage, it expands evenly. Women’s “pockets” expand unevenly when we accumulate fat, creating that orange peel effect. Our storage pattern means we can healthily store more fat than men. Like a woman with 25% body fat is average, a man with 25% body fat is chubby. Because of that, like OP said, women are hardier in times of stress or famine. It’s also one of the reasons why our bodies can survive pregnancy, which is a massive energy demand on our system.

And there’s absolutely NO “treatment” for cellulite that will work. They are all bullshit designed to separate you from your hard-earned cash. It’s a secondary sex characteristic, it’s perfectly normal and it’s not going away no matter what you do. Like I’m very lean myself and I work out 5~6 times a week, and I still have cellulite. Someone giving a woman shit for having cellulite is akin to giving her shit for having skin. It’s just a mixture of misogyny and corporate greed.

Love your lumpy skin, ladies. It means you are a badass surviving machine shaped by millenia of evolution.

[amtasical]

I did not know this, and I pride myself on knowing shit like this.

Anyone else go through that occasional phase where toast and butter is just the tastiest fucking creation on the planet and you have to restrain yourself from eating an entire loaf of bread in ten minutes

#why does this look like Lena’s hand just went somewhere it shouldn’t in a public place FUCK

[showerthoughtsofficial]

Stephen King’s IT is a boggart from Harry Potter. He becomes what ever you fear the most and the only way to get rid of him is to stop being afraid. The whole movie is just a bunch of muggles trying to get rid of a boggart without using magic.

[dihydrogenmonoxideawareness]

Why would anyone want to consume it!?

[etherealastraea]

I teach my 7th graders about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.

We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.

My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.

Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.

[bluegone]

I. Fucking. Love. This.

This is how misinformation works. How propaganda works. How manipulation works.

[nerdy-pharmacy-daydreams-deacti]

may our education be stronger than fake news

[darthlenaplant]

Amen.

[chubby-aphrodite]

To those who don’t get it:

“Dihydrogen monoxide” is the chemical name for water, AKA H2O.

[mod2amaryllis]

another important element of understanding the joke is understanding how pH levels work

yup.  that’s a higher number alright.

trying to compare the experiences of transwomen and transmen is like trying to compare star wars and star trek just because they both have the word star. 

[timetravelrabbit]

it’s literally considered inhumane to deny our worst criminals food and shelter but y’all wanna figure out if our homeless and impoverished population “deserves” it like 

child molesters are gettin’ three hots and a cot on your tax dollars and that’s fine but the starving single mother and her children down the street should just work harder bc god forbid your taxes go to them?

fuck y’all seriously

All these high class British people looking uncomfortable af because the chapel suddenly turned into a Deep South Church is the high point of comedy

[beeftea78-deactivated20200113]

my parrot is a fucking dumbass with no sense of self-preservation. proof? he got spooked by a pear - by all accounts a green and tasty friend - and flew into a wall to escape, but when greeted with a sink full of soapy boiling water - by all accounts a harmful, bird-killing abyss - he launched himself into it at top speed and cried when I locked him in baby jail to stop him from killing himself. 

[allandnot]

Please tell your parrot I still love him.

[beeftea78-deactivated20200113]

he just threw his seeds all over the carpet and laughed about it so I will not

[notyourmoniker]

[gonebynow]

I have this planner with these absolutely ridiculous pages with like “motivational” quotes on them that are just these bullshit things like “Let your heart sing” and “Always believe in your dreams”

and like that’s always struck me as such meaningless bullshit, I’ve always hated those. They’ve never had that element that truly motivates me.

So, I took matters into my own hands and I made my own artsy motivational wallpapers. Enjoy.
