Writing is something you do alone. It’s a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t wanna make eye contact while telling it.

That discussion board one actually works. Got an A in that portion of my Senior Sem doing that. This is gold.
How to be Alone: A video that changed my life.
This is an amazingly inspirational creative piece.
I honestly just want to say thank you for not erasing my text, just to replace it with yours when this video is so special to me. Thank you so much for not doing that. <3 That was so kind of you.
I believe my life may have changed from watching this. It’s a whole new perspective on being alone. I love this
I get so overwhelmed when I see this again and again on my dash and watch the notes grow.
I KNOW THIS WOMAN I’ve met her she lives in my hometown she was our poet laureate for a year
THIS VIDEO LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE and taught me how to embrace my introversion and was my inspiration for going to dinner alone and going to movies alone and traveling alone and it’s still relevant and still challenges me on a daily basis
I’m so glad that so many people get to know Tanya Davis and this incredible piece of art
because sometimes we all end up perfectly on our own whether we like it or not.
"women invented beer" really??
yeah, at least it’s what we think, since women were the ones who started brewing shit. the goddess of brewery and beer is, well, a goddess and not a god, which is probably because women were the ones starting it historically.
@sharkfinshuffle say stuff
FINE I’ll just do your homework for you. Trust me, it’s not just “what we think”, we have ample evidence and it’s pretty much unanimously agreed upon among brewers that women were traditionally the ones brewing and often drinking the beer. So long long story short: yes, brewing was very much a women’s craft in the majority of cultures worldwide pre-industrialisation. A couple of popular brewing textbooks state:
“Initially, brewing was carried out as home brewing by women for domestic use only. It was part of the daily housework next to cooking and baking bread.” (Handbook of Brewing, Priest and Stewart, 2006)
“Traditionally, [African] beers are made by women brewsters, as was the case medieval Europe, and they may be consumed with some ceremony.” (Brewing, Briggs, Brookes, and Stevens, 2003)
And here are some articles:
A (Very) Brief History of Women in Beer
http://growlermag.com/women-in-beer/
Honestly though, just google “women brewing history”.
lol wow thank you!!! i will spread this information in the world
also will use it to shut down Manly Beer Drinker of all sorts
THIS IS USEFUL! I SHALL BE TAKING THIS INTO MY LOCAL MICROBREWERY AND BEING OBNOXIOUSLY FEMINIST. I LOVE YOU FOR THIS SO MUCH!
Fun fact: men (specifically, monks) started adding hops to beer. Hops makes beer taste bitter - the tast men today insist is the “true” tast of beer which makes it a masculine drink. The fun part of it is that hops is a phytoestrogen which is (according to some sources - there are disproving articles so I won’t say it’s absolutely true) responsible for low sex drive, lower energy, man boobs, and abdominal fat. Actually, monks started using hops in beer in order to lower libido of men in the monastery.
This came up just now in the Irish Times in regards to a brewery in Mechelen in Belgium. (Yet another reason to get back there.)
“Women’s role in the history of beer is often forgotten,” says Sofie Vanrafelghem, author and master beer sommelier. “One of the very first written documents to refer to beer,” she says, “was an ode written 3,800 years ago to the Sumerian goddess Ninkasi, whose priestesses brewed beer in her honour.”
This data’s been on my radar for a while now. I remember being in one of our favorite places in Dublin, Porterhouse Central, and spotting a sign hanging up above one of the aisles that said BEERS BREWED BY MEN, NOT MACHINES. A nice enough sentiment, but unfortunately / unnecessarily gendered.
I was in a bit of a mischievous mood and said to the barman, “No women?” “Nope,” he said.
I said, “You should really get at least one woman brewer in here. For historical reasons if nothing else. Didn’t you know that until a couple of centuries ago it was illegal for men to brew in Dublin?”
He was kind of stunned. True, though. It was traditional in the city from Viking times that only women should brew. In fact there was a sense that it was unlucky for men to brew, that the beer would fail, that it didn’t like them.
My bartender was a little bemused by this. “But why would that be?”
I just kind of laughed. “Women,” I said. “Yeast. We have a relationship.”
I wish I could describe the series of expressions that went across his face. :)

Voting for the Brexit correlated with age: The older voters were, the more likely they were to support removing the U.K. from the E.U. And also less likely to feel the long term effects. For voters, Brexit essentially came down to two things.
lmfao https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/06/24/the-british-are-frantically-googling-what-the-eu-is-hours-after-voting-to-leave-it/?postshare=8141466778634681&tid=ss_tw
my fucking god…..
somebody shoot me
“Even though I voted to leave, this morning I woke up and I just — the reality did actually hit me,” one woman told the news channel ITV News. “If I’d had the opportunity to vote again, it would be to stay.”
so apparently americans get their stupid from the mother country? that’s almost comforting.
TIME Magazine’s cover honouring those killed at Pulse in Orlando. 49 names and ages, so many it covers the title. If you ever questioned the consequences of ignorance and hate, there are now 49 graves as proof. Homophobia kills.
Hi there. If you’re just waking up

David Cameron has resigned, a fact I’d never thought I’d be sad about
Donald Trump just landed in Scotland, because we haven’t suffered enough
Nicola Sturgeon says EU folk are “still welcome in Scotland” and “their contribution is valued”
She’s thrown down the gauntlet re: staying in and is petitioning the EU for membership. The result is “democratically unacceptable”
“I intend to take all possible steps to give effect to how Scotland voted. In other words, to secure our place in the EU”
Statement officially made that second independence referendum “highly likely”
The financial markets are a shitshow
Vote Leave have ALREADY backtracked on their two defining campaign promises (more money for the NHS, less immigration)
A motion of No Confidence has been leveled at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who honestly lasted longer than I thought he would

From the amount wiped off shares, so far, divided by 32m voters… the cost is already at £6,000 per voter
Donald Trump has come out in support of the decision to leave, which is how you know we messed up real bad
Everything is fucked
I’m so sorry
For our European Followers (also anyone interested)

The Stonewall National Monument in New York City will be the first addition to the National Park System specifically highlighting the history of the LGBT community.
It’s official: the Stonewall Inn is the first national monument dedicated to the LGBT movement in the United States.
President Obama officially declared the bar a monument of the National Park Service today. It’s especially significant for it to happen this week, just days before the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and of the marriage equality ruling, as well as during our continued mourning of those lost in Orlando and reflection on the importance of LGBTQ+ spaces.
The monument covers nearly 8 acres in New York’s Greenwich Village including a landmark gay bar, the Stonewall Inn. In June of 1969, gay patrons at the bar fought back against police persecution — an event that’s widely seen as a watershed in the campaign for LGBT rights.
“Raids like these were nothing new, but this time the patrons had had enough,” Obama said in a White House video announcing the new monument. “So they stood up and spoke out. The riots became protests. The protests became a movement. The movement ultimately became an integral part of America.”
This is huge, and it’s about damn time. LGBTQ+ history is American history.
