I don't understand the question.

I'm just here to read the blogs of my brilliant friends.

Shit people have forgotten about the Bush Era:

Free Speech Zones, which were a real thing and not a plot element in a particularly ham-handed dystopian novel.

The phrase “hidey hole.”

Watching a budget surplus become a massive deficit that was bigger than it even looked because the White House was just like, “Okay, we’ll just not put the wars on the books and just ask for more money for those every few months.”

The sheer number of times Alberto Gonzalez said, “I don’t recall,” to Congress regarding war crimes and human rights violations.

“…now watch this drive.”

Mission Accomplished.

“The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence,” “yellowcake uranium,” Condoleeza’s “mushroom clouds” fearmongering, and all the other bullshit we were fed to get into Iraq.

The President of the United States said so many stupid things that there were one-a-day calendars consisting of an individual quote for each day of the year. They didn’t all have the exact same quotes.

[emolumentsclause-deactivated201]

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

And then we went to war.

[teeth-and-spackle]

“Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms; creating or implanting embryos for experiments; creating human-animal hybrids; and buying, selling or patenting human embryos.” - George W. Bush, 2006 State of the Union

[steviemcfly]

Okay, that’s the best one.

[asgardreid-deactivated20180407]

Bush watched that Batman Beyond splicing episode and had nightmares for a week

[sidneyia-deactivated20210826]

was it hidey-hole? i thought it was spider-hole.

[lord-kitschener]

Yeah, it was spider-hole

[comedownstairsandsayhello]

I think my favorite was how we un-ironically referred to a whole set of countries as the “Axis of Evil” as if that phrase gives us some kind of meaningful understanding of their geopolitical role and isn’t borrowed straight out of a mediocre made-for-TV superhero movie.

[steviemcfly]

And then there was:

We literally got a terrorism forecast on the news every morning like it was pollen. So many of the things that happened, if they were in a dystopian novel, people would be like, “That’s way too goofy and ridiculous to actually happen in real life,” and yet they did.

[lady--liberty-blog]

THE LAST ONE’S REAL?

[tiffanarchy]

Yeah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_Security_Advisory_System

[daggers-drawn]

Not only was the terror threat system real, but it was often raised and lowered based entirely on how panicked they wanted us to be. Famously they raised the level for no reason during the 2004 election.

Also, “Free Speech Zones” looked something like this:

It was literally a cage.

[avant-sad]

there are people who don’t remember the color-coded advisory system? the times are a changin folks

[apsies]

“Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”

[jen22201]

I didn't know the color-coded system was gone. I thought we had just permanently settled on orange.

I forgot how much I learn on Tumblr.

[midnightjellys]

starting a girl gang of girls aggressively supporting other girls so reblog if you want in because if we get enough people we’re getting jackets

[jen22201]

Yes, please.

[foxysmoulder]

but really guys

tampons/pads marketed to young kids who just started getting their periods

should be a thing

wrappers with dinosaurs and planets and glitter and cats and sea creatures 

make kids feel comfortable about something natural that happens to their bodies. 

and for goodness sake

don’t sexualize it

[spunkyy]

No. Actually. Why do you need this? You don’t. Getting your period means you are starting to mature, which means you need to drive them AWAY from needless things like that. Also, you all bitch enough as it is about paying for these things, imagine how much more money companies will charge for those things? Or, maybe EDUCATE them, so they will already feel comfortable about it. Jesus fucking christ. 

[jeancrocker-blog]

Tell that to ten-year-old me, who still hadn’t had the period talk yet in school. I was crying and freaking out because I thought I was dying. Then my mother comes up to me and says with a smile “You’re becoming a woman!” I didn’t want to grow up yet. I was ten. Fucking ten and was told to start to grow up. My mom wanted me to get away from silly little kids things because I’m fucking bleeding out my goddamn vagina.

Also some people are children at heart and like to be silly and having a dinosaur-patterned maxi-pad would be pretty fuckin’ hilarious and I’m sure there’d be a huge market for that.

Not all people with vaginas are stoic and serious and want the same frilly, swirly boring-ass pads and tampons.

[tafffypulller]

Plus if you’ve been having a miserable day and say you bought the character variety pack of pads. Sitting in the bathroom stall wanting to stab everyone and you open up some baby dinosaur pads. You’ve got dinosaurs in your underwear. No ones gonna ruin your day now.

[legolokiismighty]

U by Kotex has these, Tween pads. Sparkly box, cute designs on the pad and wrapper. There are even “period facts and myths” in each box, and the inner wrapper has instructions for how to use a pad properly. What’s more is they are smaller than standard pads. (I use these pads because I’m a petite person). Best part? Everywhere I buy them, one box of pads is less than $5. 

[saltwaffle]

^^^^^^^ THESE ARE THE BEST BTW. VERY SOFT AND FUN AND COLORFUL. DID YOU KNOW THAT EVEN SEEING PRETTY COLORS CAN LIFT YOUR MOOD? I DIDN’T. NOW I DO.

BUT REALLY THESE ARE THE BEST OK

BECAUSE WHEN MY TEN-YEAR-OLD SISTER GOT HER PERIOD SHE WAS SUPER SCARED BUT I GAVE HER MY PACK AND SHE’S LIKE THIS LOOKS KINDA COOL AND NOW SHE THINKS SHE’S SO AWESOME AND COOL BECAUSE SHE WEARS COLORFUL PADS WITH SHOOTING STARS AND HEARTS ON THEM AND SHE’S SO CONFIDENT IT’S SO AWESOME

SO YOU TRY TELLING ME THAT SEEING A TEN YEAR OLD GIRL DEPRESSED AND ASHAMED OF A NATURAL BODY FUNCTION IS PREFERABLE TO SEEING HER SHOWING OFF HER UFO AND SHOOTING STAR-PATTERNED PADS TO HER BFFS

YOU WOULDN’T GIVE A FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY A BORING BEIGE BAND-AID NO YOU’D GO OUT AND BUY THE HECK OUTTA THOSE SPONGEBOB AND TOY STORY SHITS BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM HAPPY DON’T MAKE YOUR GIRLS GROW OUT OF THINGS THAT MAKE THEM HAPPY BEFORE THEY’VE EVEN LEFT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

[she-wolveslord]

Ok but U by Kotex has got all of our backs. This brand dose great and empowering things for all women and even girls :)

[des-is-scum]

Why are people with vaginas expected to be grown ass adults at 10 but people with dicks aren’t expected to act like adults until their 20’s??

[itsreallystupid]

^^^^^ ALL. OF. THIS.

[jen22201]

I'm 43 and I'd like some tampons with dinosaur wrappers dammit.

Man uses flesh from his leg to find out what humans taste like

Ever wonder what human flesh tastes like? Chicken? Venison? Rabbit? A meaty, gamey combination of the three? BBC science reporter Greg Foot did — so much so that he removed flesh from his own leg to find out. It’s not like any of the above three.

Confession

I rarely visit Tumblr anymore and when I do, I just check out the 8 or so people that I know IRL (plus @sassywineo cuz she's awesome). I've got time - still being unemployed and all - but my dashboard just got out of control. I can't keep up. However, it should be noted, that I get more followers than ever now that I'm virtually inactive. Do you think Tumblr is just devolving into a porn troll mecca?

[jen22201]

Mini-Schnauzer sighting! His name is Phoenix and he's perfect. (at True Food Kitchen @ Santa Monica Place)

[beetnelson]

bitch me too

[jen22201]

I miss them.

[jen22201]

I am going to learn to say YES, or rather, to not say NO. And I don't mean it in a "Shonda-Rhimes-won't-leave-the-house" way, but in a "Second-City-improv-don't-shut-people-down" way.

[jen22201]

I'm not really sure what to do with that, but I'll figure it out. #miniblt #bloodymary (at The Bellwether)
