i miss the era where rapist and pedophile men were rounded up and slaughtered at a festival in honor of the goddess artemis, protector of girls

[jacksondiesattheend]

Let’s bring that back. How do we do that?

[succubarbie-deactivated20190205]

by rounding up all the rapist and pedophile men and slaughtering them at festivals in honor of the goddess artemis, protector of girls

most white male atheism is born out of the white supremacist belief that there is no greater power in the universe than white men and that’s just tea

Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

Hey, highkey from a library worker: 

Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBY I find it easier to use.  It’s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile.  Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.

i don’t trust men who are unable to maintain platonic relationships with women.

[chingonawithaheart]

Good. Don’t.

[cerulean-beekeeper-deactivated2]

This, and also: don’t trust women that do not allow their boyfriends to have platonic relationships with other women.

I love the sphenoid complex. It’s gorgeous. It looks so much like a tattered but unbroken moth. 

Your sphenoidal sinuses are deep within your skull, behind the olfactory bulb and olfactory sensors in the very back of your nose. They sit around the pterygoid wings of the sphenoid bone, and the upper wall of the sinuses is the upper wings of the bone. These wings are the last bone structure before the brain, and though they’re strong, they’re thin and brittle, and can easily be damaged or destroyed by tumorous growths and head injuries.

Serious sinusitis before antibiotics could become deep-seated (it is usually treated before this happens these days), and if there are any cracks in the pterygoid wings, easily invade the brain cavity. Because of this and related reasons, bacterial meningitis and encephalitis (more serious and higher risk of complications) was at one time much more common than viral meningitis around the world, as it still is in developing countries. The mortality rate was about 10-15%, but many times even people with resolved infections ended up with hearing loss, brain damage, and in children, learning disabilities.

[biomedicalephemera]

That said, the most important things are that the sphenoid complex seats the pituitary gland, provides support for the optic and the olfactory nerves, and a boundary between the open sinuses (prone to infection) and the brain structures. It prevents transmission of bacteria to the brain, and it provides a stable platform for the nerves that allow us to both see and smell the world around us.

What an important and lovely structure.

One year ago, a car rammed into counter-protesters during a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. Dozens of people were injured and paralegal and activist Heather Heyer was killed. Now, her mother is trying to fulfill a promise made at her funeral.

“They tried to kill my child to shut her up,” Susan Bro told mourners last August. “Well, guess what? You just magnified her!”

Susan Bro now spends her days in a cozy office at the law firm where her daughter worked as a paralegal. It’s the headquarters of the Heather Heyer Foundation. Near her desk is a sign with her daughter’s favorite motto – “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”

“I think that’s what we have with Heather’s legacy is a call to action,” says Bro.
