The only downside to her win is I’ve heard males downplay pregnancy since “it can’t be that bad”
She also almost died when giving birth because doctors wouldn’t listen to her, so...
The only acceptable reason for this is if this character is actually a demon who seduces men and then eats them. [source]

my breasts are nicely separated. Completely divided, every year they move apart by half an inch.
My breasts are nicely separated though they still fight for custody of the children.

That was difficult to read.
My name is Ebony D'arkness Dementia Raven Way, and my breasts are nicely separated
OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT AND HOW ON EARTH DID IT GET PUBLISHED
You can always tell when it’s a man writing a description because they focus oddly on the breasts. There will always be something about breasts and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read historical or fantasy fiction and they talk about “her breasts hanging freely under her tunic” or what the fuck ever and it’s like…women don’t do that? We don’t describe ourselves by saying “I have blonde hair and blue eyes and my breasts hang freely under my tunic”. I kind of feel like we should counter by awkwardly mentioning all male character’s balls in their description. It’s kind of in the same vein.
“I have auburn hair and hazel eyes and my copious nicely separated balls hangs freely under my breeches”

“To get back to my body”
This is the first time I saw this post with art and I am in tears.
I’m sure someone figured out that this is actually an English translation from French, La Letrice by Raymond Jean. The language is awkward because it’s a translation.
Of course, the content is still ridiculous, but it didn’t stop the author from selling the book to a movie studio, for a film starring Miou-Miou.
Video based on quantum physics. The colored balls are placed together alone by the resonance of the quartz crystals. Each color has a different resonance. In the same way we group the people that vibrate in the same frequency. This is how the universe works.
Ok, that’s just trippy…
WHAT!
Y’all, this is just a really pretty and well made animation.
The famous La Marseillaise scene from Casablanca.
You know, this scene is so powerful to me that sometimes I forget that not everyone who watches it will understand its significance, or will have seen Casablanca. So, because this scene means so much to me, I hope it’s okay if I take a minute to explain what’s going on here for anyone who’s feeling left out.
Casablanca takes place in, well, Casablanca, the largest city in (neutral) Morocco in 1941, at Rick’s American Cafe (Rick is Humphrey Bogart’s character you see there). In 1941, America was also still neutral, and Rick’s establishment is open to everyone: Nazi German officials, officials from Vichy (occupied) France, and refugees from all across Europe desperate to escape the German war engine. A neutral cafe in a netural country is probably the only place you’d have seen a cross-section like this in 1941, only six months after the fall of France.
So, the scene opens with Rick arguing with Laszlo, who is a Czech Resistance fighter fleeing from the Nazis (if you’re wondering what they’re arguing about: Rick has illegal transit papers which would allow Laszlo and his wife, Ilsa, to escape to America, so he could continue raising support against the Germans. Rick refuses to sell because he’s in love with Laszlo’s wife). They’re interrupted by that cadre of German officers singing Die Wacht am Rhein: a German patriotic hymn which was adopted with great verve by the Nazi regime, and which is particularly steeped in anti-French history. This depresses the hell out of everybody at the club, and infuriates Laszlo, who storms downstairs and orders the house band to play La Marseillaise: the national anthem of France.
Wait, but when I say “it’s the national anthem of France,” I don’t want you to think of your national anthem, okay? Wherever you’re from. Because France’s anthem isn’t talking about some glorious long-ago battle, or France’s beautiful hills and countrysides. La Marseillaise is FUCKING BRUTAL. Here’s a translation of what they’re singing:
Arise, children of the Fatherland! The day of glory has arrived! Against us, tyranny raises its bloody banner. Do you hear, in the countryside, the roar of those ferocious soldiers? They’re coming to your land to cut the throats of your women and children!
To arms, citizens! Form your battalions! Let’s march, let’s march! Let their impure blood water our fields!
BRUTAL, like I said. DEFIANT, in these circumstances. And the entire cafe stands up and sings it passionately, drowning out the Germans. The Germans who are, in 1941, still terrifyingly ascendant, and seemingly invincible.
“Vive la France! Vive la France!” the crowd cries when it’s over. France has already been defeated, the German war machine roars on, and the people still refuse to give up hope.
But here’s the real kicker, for me: Casablanca came out in 1942. None of this was ‘history’ to the people who first saw it. Real refugees from the Nazis, afraid for their lives, watched this movie and took heart. These were current events when this aired. Victory over Germany was still far from certain. The hope it gave to people then was as desperately needed as it has been at any time in history.
God I love this scene.
not only did refugees see this movie, real refugees made this movie. most of the european cast members wound up in hollywood after fleeing the nazis and wound up.
paul heinreid, who played laszlo the resistance leader, was a famous austrian actor; he was so anti-hitler that he was named an enemy of the reich. ugarte, the petty thief who stole the illegal transit papers laszlo and victor are arguing about? was played by peter lorre, a jewish refugee. carl, the head waiter? played by s.z. sakall, a hungarian-jew whose three sisters died in the holocaust.
even the main nazi character was played by a german refugee: conrad veidt, who starred in one of the first sympathetic films about gay men and who fled the nazis with his jewish wife.
there’s one person in this scene that deserves special mention. did you notice the woman at the bar, on the verge of tears as she belts out la marseillaise? she’s yvonne, rick’s ex-girlfriend in the film. in real life, the actress’s name is madeleine lebeau and she basically lived the plot of this film: she and her jewish husband fled paris ahead of the germans in 1940. her husband, macel dalio, is also in the film, playing the guy working the roulette table. after they occupied paris, the nazis used his face on posters to represent a “typical jew.” madeleine and marcel managed to get to lisbon (the goal of all the characters in casablanca), and boarded a ship to the americas… but then they were stranded for two months when it turned out their visa papers were forgeries. they eventually entered the US after securing temporary canadian visas. marcel dalio’s entire family died in concentration camps.
go back and rewatch the clip. watch madeleine lebeau’s face.
casablanca is a classic, full of classic acting performances. but in this moment, madeleine lebeau isn’t acting. this isn’t yvonne the jilted lover onscreen. this is madeleine lebeau, singing “la marseillaise” after she and her husband fled france for their lives. this is a real-life refugee, her real agony and loss and hope and resilience, preserved in the midst of one of the greatest films of all time.
I remember when I first saw Casablanca, and being struck by this scene, and that was without knowing the history behind it or all that Madeleine Lebeau - and so many more refugees- had suffered.
Do yourself a solid and watch this film. Watch this scene. And most of all, remember refugees, the ones who lived then and especially the ones who live now.
Our crew shirt from 2013 is one of my favorite shirts and I can finally point to why
Pink Diamond is still alive.
Ok, so I don’t have to explain myself we already know that Rose’s sword can cut the physical form but never shatter.
Steven had a Pink Diamond dream, from her memories. But how can Steven have dreams with her if she’s dead? When he saw through Blue eyes she was around. That means that she is is still alive.
I think Rose only cut Pink’s physical form and then kept it somewhere like ah yes: her chest or is it called trunk? Anyway it is inside lion and she kept a lot inside it.
Think about it.
I mean, isn't pink diamond bubbles inside Lion?
TFW you're changing your newborn's diaper, and she screeches like a hawk and pees all over everything.
I know it’s illegal but whenever I get antibiotics from the doctor I save a few and give them to friends or coworkers who don’t have insurance so that when cold season comes they might be able to shorten their illness
That is not good- that’s not quite how antibiotics work.
Antibiotics kill some bacteria, but don’t manage to kill other bacteria. Just like when you get a particular sickness (or a vaccination), your body can protect you from future infections, any bacteria that came into contact with the antibiotic is protected from future doses of that antibiotic. Bacteria are very virulent breeders, so they spawn more resistant bacteria.
If you take the full dose of antibiotics, your natural antibodies can deal with the cells that are resistant while the medicine kills off the bacteria that isn’t resistant. If you don’t take the full course of antibiotics, then your body has to deal with both the resistant and the non-resistant strains of bacteria, and it can become overwhelming. Also, most bacteria are able to pass on genes between still-living cells, so that previously non-resistant strains become resistant, and you have inadvertently cultivated a stronger strain of bacteria.
Furthermore, colds and the flu are viral infections, so antibiotics don’t work against them anyway. The best protection against viral infections are vaccinations, as there are not many viruses that we have developed anti-viral medication against, once you already have the disease. If there are anti-viral medications, it is even more important that you take the full dose of the medication, because anti-viral medication is even harsher against the body than antibacterial medication is.
How antibiotics work
How antiviral medication works
Spread this around; antibiotics are not candy
To put it shortly: antibiotics don’t do shit for the cold. You need to take the entire bottle that is prescribed to you. People not doing that is how antibiotic resistant infections crop up. People like OP are literally why diseases like MRSA exist.
OP shouldn’t feel bad about good intentions but this is really dangerous. There’s also the risk that your friends are allergic to the specific type of antibiotics you give them.
things that a better-off person can do for their sick less-well-off friends that don’t involve breeding superbacteria through misue of antibiotics:
Buy them cold medicine
Buy them cough drops
Buy them fancy tissues with lotion
Make them too much soup to eat in one go and freeze half for later
Find them a low-cost clinic and accompany them there
Tell them you are giving them their day’s wages and they are staying home Friday/Monday and then do.
Go to their house. Wash the dishes, take out the garbage, walk the dog, scoop the cat or just plain change the whole litter box, clean the bathtub and mom voice them until they take a hot shower or steam their head.
if they have asthma or bronchitis and are out of inhaler but you have a half-full one, that is a thing you can sanitize and share.
ditto palliative prescription medication like “I have half a bottle of lidocaine gargle, you want it?” “I am bringing you the rest of my Robitussin with codeine” “here harvest some ibuprofen from my giant bottle of 1,000 ibuprofen”
I’d recommend you don’t give someone your leftover codiene unless you’re in a country where it’s OTC. In the US it’s prescription and if they take it and test positive for an opiate in a random drug test, even if it’s codiene, they can be fired on the spot (and you could be arrested for distribution/trafficking).
In some states in the US, cough syrup with codeine is OTC, with pharmacist approval. Although generally, the big corporate pharmacies don't permit their pharmacists to sell it, so you have to find an independent pharmacy.
Dear the other two people on this site who don’t watch GoT,
How you doing?
Inadvertently watching almost all the show passively via gifset, how’re you?
I'm really enjoying Twin Peaks...
this is why shouting “just adopt!!!” is a bullshit argument amongst pro-lifers bc there are laws like this that prevent a lot of people from adopting.
yall still out here calling the us a secular country when orphans might not be able to get adopted by non Christians????
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or telling people going through IVF that we’re selfish. We should adopt a needy child.
Y'all know that private adoption agencies already discriminate against LGBT parents, right? That's already the norm where I live. These laws just protect the status quo.
I'm a member of a very gay-affirming local church, but it's under the United Methodist umbrella. I can't pursue adoption through Methodist Children's Home, even though I'm Methodist, because I'm gay.
I noticed a clip on Facebook about a greeting card company making sympathy cards for women with infertility. It immediately made me cry because I know the pain of it and I know so many women going through that same pain. Unfortunately, not everyone gets that, so imagine how freakin pissed I was reading the comments under the video claiming that women who undergo fertility treatments are “selfish”. Like seriously, fuck any DUDE telling a woman that she doesn’t deserve a biological child and is selfish to want one. Honestly, half the comments were about adoption from people who have clearly NEVER considered adoption themselves, like its such a simple option. I know we researched adoption and in my state the average cost was $30K while a round of IVF is about $10K. It’s just ridiculous to have to go through this heart breaking experience AND to be taunted and made to feel like shit from ignorant people.
I'm pregnant after IVF. Would I have tried to adopt? Sure, if the majority of adoption agencies would actually work with me. But they won't-- I'm gay, and living in a red state. It's legal for me to adopt, but most agencies are private and aren't obligated to provide services to me. The options for me to adopt are limited, expensive, and difficult, unless I want to adopt a teenager. And yeah, maybe I'll do that someday, but it's not selfish to want a baby.

I'm rewatching Twin Peaks after many years. Are some of the sounds/music lines from Twin Peaks used in Sleep No More?
Right...
I should mention it here. Pregnant. With twins. Not posting much, just trying not to puke. But you know, real happy about being so miserable.
I just realized… if I’m having so much trouble keeping it a secret that we’re going to start ttc again, how will I ever keep a pregnancy a secret for 3 months??
Because my goal is to not tell anyone until after the first trimester because that’s the main time when anything could happen and I don’t want to get everyone’s hopes up and have to tell them nope, never mind, this baby wasn’t ready.
Ahh I’m sorry I just can’t stop thinking about it
The first "month" of the first trimester is mostly TTC. With pregnancy math, your first two weeks of pregnancy, you're just getting ready to ovulate. Then you have the two week wait. So you're 4 weeks pregnant by the time you turn the pee stick. Then you just keep it a secret for weeks 5-12. So it's 8 weeks of secrecy.
Here's how I did it. I waited until a 7 week ultrasound (something a reproductive endocrinologist will do, but regular ob/gyn might wait until week 8 or 10). Once I saw heartbeats, that meant risk or miscarriage dropped, so I started telling people. It will drop more once I make it to 2nd trimester, but I couldn't wait that long-- needed to let people know why I'm so nauseated and sleepy.
why would you wish lesbianism upon anyone? lesbians are a dead weight on the society. they don't contribute to humanity, they don't have kids, they are degenerate and decadent
vice president pence don’t you have something else to do
reblog if you’re a degenerate and decadent lesbian who doesn’t contribute to humanity
Dude, this lesbian is paying boatloads of money on artificial fertility technology in an effort to parent multiple kids-- bet anon's totally cool with that, right? Still degenerate and decadent as hell, though...
Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.
How can I say no to such a great photo and such a polite request?
i will always support this post
@mooserattler back on my dash!
Why isn’t this at a million notes, yet, Dante???
I’m not sure. Hey lovely people who have taken me over half way to a cool million! If you’d like to reblog again, I’d love that, if not, I still love you, and hope you’re having a great day. I’m gonna go do some stand up tonight.
We will get you to a million. We believe in you.
I will never not reblog this.
I’ll reblog it again for you Dante
