A hero without a cape

[nyshadidntbreakit]

Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

reasons Harold Hill and Marian Paroo from The Music Man should be played as and by lesbians:

think about how hot lesbian Harold Hill - dashing butch conwoman with her hair slicked back and a fancy suit - would be

Marian basically reads as completely uninterested in men for the first third of the show anyway; it’s not until “My White Knight” that she actually mentions a male romantic partner as an idea that appeals to her

Harold Hill, as an outsider coming into River City and bringing new energy and ideas, would make much more sense as a lesbian

Harold Hill also shows innate sympathy for the socially marginalized like Tommy Djalis, which would also make sense if she was a lesbian

but seriously, how hot would lesbian Harold Hill be

Marian in the musical is considered something of a “spinster” which often stood as a traditional code for “lesbian” (see the male counterpart, “confirmed bachelor”)

a lesbian Harold Hill would be a callback to real-life female “adventurers” such as Jenny Bonnet and Mary Hamilton who survived as single women making money by, uh, less than legal means

thanks for coming to my TED Talk

[jeaniefranklins]

I can’t believe I typed out this entire post and it never once occurred to me to include the sentence “HAROLD, THEY’RE LESBIANS”

[dubiousculturalartifact]

I just accidentally invented a new idiom, maybe?

“Licking a tree & hoping for maple syrup.” 

aka “A attempt at resolving/achieving something with less effort than is required for success, & a high probability of it proving merely futile & faintly unpleasant’

[nudibranchparty]

I can support this as a turn of phrase.

[whetstonefires]

I think you’ve really tapped into something here.

[mundaneamerica]

Mundane America. Broken pole with rope and an American Flag. Cincinnati, Ohio.

[gaslampsglow]

Wait.  Wait.

Wait.

I know that telephone pole.

I know that telephone pole intimately because I’m the one who broke it.

Thats the pole next to Sycamore Jr. High, in between the jr high school and Pipkins, where I had my second car accident.  A woman t-boned my car and drove me into that pole in 2008 and it took them years to actually take it down.

That black metal pole you see just beyond the broken phone pole is a “Now Leaving/Welcome To Blue Ash, Ohio” sign, visible at 5520 Cooper Road on google maps.

(the flag is there, btw, because its the starting point for the Blue Ash/Montgomery July 4th parade.)

The internet is so staggeringly immense that I can’t help but be disproportionately delighted when things like this happen.

How pretty! 🌼 This is the first flower grown in space, a zinnia, which flowered in 2016 aboard the International Space Station. Here it’s in the cupola enjoying sunshine for the first time! ☀️ (That’s us in the background 🌎) 📷: NASA/Scott Kelly https://ift.tt/2IpiJE9

[nerdfishgirl]

Not the first flower grown in space (Scott Kelly was misinformed). But still awesome.

#even if its seeds were VERY DISAPPOINTING#bc they had NO EMBRYOS#at ALL#little stinkers refused to germinate no matter how much hormone i gave them#looked inside and yeppp no embryos of which to speak

Okay, those tags demand a story, @nerdfishgirl~~~~~

[nerdfishgirl]

So, last spring I interned at Kennedy Space Center. And attempting to germinate the seeds from the zinnias grown in space was part of the stuff I did. They utterly refused to germinate even with added plant hormones - mostly because, imo, they hadn’t been fertilized and hadn’t produced actual embryos - just whispy papery things with no hope of producing an actual plant.

[tinsnip]

#the science life#it was very disappointing#also they were COATED in fungus#they were kinda nasty tbh#my main recommendation was that astronauts no longer put flowers that are being saved for seed in plastic bags#bc that is like the ideal habitat for fungus#paper bags work better

[stalessiastan]

john mulaney talking about how much he loves his wife and roasting other male comedians that just talk shit on their wives is why The Gays like him so much because he’s what Straight Culture should be

[blautitlewave]

Talking shit about your spouse is a sign of affection.

[rinlockhart]

No. No it’s not. What kind of dystopian world do you live in?

[jxhn-mulaney]

straight culture should be commissioning Renaissance styled biblical paintings of your french bulldog not talking about how marriage is a prison

[awkward-teabag]

It’s the grown-up version of “he bullies you because he likes you!”

To be honest.. if more children were shown from birth that they are loved, cared for, and listened no matter their gender we might not have some of the problems we have now.

This is an Anna’s Hummingbird; named after Anna Masséna, Duchess of Rivoli.

Also, evidently hand feeding Hummingbirds is a kinda popular thing. All you have to do is put sugar-water that’s been dyed red or any other bright, flower like color in your hand and stand around some hummingbirds.

It highkey looks like that hummingbird just attacked that person’s hand and is now drinking the blood though. Lol

[awed-frog]

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
