[nezzuko]

hello everyone I’m alive, several weeks ago I’ve had the misfortune of recalling a sexually traumatizing thing I’d repressed and had no idea happened to me, so I’ve just been dealing with that for the last few weeks (a month maybe?). idk anyways I’m having trouble opening messages ppl have sent me over the past month and just wanted to let nyall know I’m ok and not ignoring or ghosting you I’ve just been too fucked up to open some of my social media.

anyways if u need to reach me my discord is ezz#7756. I’m probably not going to be opening any messages on tumblr anytime soon so if u wanna talk to me discord is ur best bet.

[residentevil7]

Idk if this book counts because i dont remember if the protagonist ever says she’s “butch” but her presentation and behavior are pretty in line with butchness so i’m suggesting it.

The Dyke and the Dybbuk by Ellen Galford is great!

also Blackmail, My Love by Katie Gilmartin is awesome!!

[blueinthefaceangel]

Ohh more books to read.!! Awesome!! To be fair 25% of the books on my list ,the protagonist doesn’t explicitly say that they are butch but present themselves as butch. Sometimes I think the author feels scared to say that the character is butch but still present themselves as such.

[seccorottario-deactivated201609]

my fav Junji Ito story is the one with the /fit/ neighbor guy who lifts gravestones for the ulimate gainz+attention combo and who gets kicked out by everyone because he won’t fucking stop lifting their ancestors graves every goddamn night in his underwear

[seccorottario-deactivated201609]

[thathomestar]

do the ghosts admire his sick-ass muscles

[touga-party-deactivated20161223]

hell yea they do

[pulmonary-poultry]

Spoilers but yeah that’s literally the final twist. The night after the dude is kicked out and everyone’s like “Thank god that creep is gone,” all the ghosts come out and go “Where the fuck is our himbo?”

SCREAM!

[ratliker1917]

the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from “the king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but god”, to “uhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourism” will never stop being extremely funny to me

[ratlicker1917]

the monarchs… bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with rats… 👅

bread recipes are like, “the simplest recipe ever! you probably already have all the ingredients!”

then halfway down the page “now pull out your 10 different clean glass bowls and your $400 stand mixer”

[disasterlarper]

my husband and i are hobby bakers and i love me some bread and anyways here is how to make bread in one (1) bowl and some counter space, because i will never willingly use 10 clean bowls. 

Need:

4 cups flour. Regular is fine. Bread flour not required. Cheap store brand flour is imho the best, because it is the least picky.

2 cups water (Or milk if you’d like)

1 Packet yeast

1 Tablespoon salt

2 Tablespoon sugar

4 tablespoons oil, whatever you’ve got. Butter, melted, works too.

EXTREMELY OPTIONAL: spices, herbs, dried fruit, seeds, nuts, any combination of these. I don’t like putting that stuff in my day to day bread, Ryan does. Do what you want.

Some extra oil for the bowl

Sheet pan

1 bowl

Bench flour (it’s just extra regular flour for kneading)

A towel

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375F. 

Place 1 packet yeast and like, ¼ cup of the water (tepid, not cold) + 1 tablespoon of sugar into your bowl. Wait 10 minutes. Bubbling? Good.

Dunk the rest of the food stuff in the bowl.

Mix until combined.

Flour your counter.

Tip out onto counter, knead for like 15 minutes.

Oil bowl.

Put dough back in bowl.

Cover with towel.

Wait for like an hour-ish. Dough should double in size. 

Oil sheet pan.

Place dough on sheet pan. Form a bit into like, a dome or a loaf or something, idk I’m not your mom.

Into the oven for 45 minutes.

Crank the heat to 425F.

Continue to bake for 5-20 minutes until browned. (The time varies wildly because ovens have differing efficiencies in getting hot.)

Remove.

You can either eat it RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, ripping chunks of it with your hands in what is known in my house as “goblin bread”. Goes best with a nice butter and some fancy cheeses, but goblin bread is equally delicious by itself. Yum! OR You have to wait until the loaf is ROOM TEMPERATURE. ALL THE WAY. 100%. 

Works better if you have a dutch oven or loaf pan but it works just fine on a baking sheet.

Bam. Bread.

What the fuck

[elizabitchtaylor-deactivated202]

I learned about the murder of Kitty Genovese in two separate psychology classes, at two separate universities. It was studied as an example of the “bystander effect”, which is a phenomenon that occurs when witnesses do not offer help to a victim when there are other people present.

I was told by my professors that Kitty Genovese was a 28-year-old unmarried woman who was attacked, raped, and brutally murdered on her way home from her shift as manager of a bar. I was told that numerous people witnessed the attack and her cries for help but didn’t do anything because they “assumed someone else would”. Nobody intervened until it was too late. 

What I was not told was that Kitty Genovese was a lesbian who lived more or less openly with her partner in the Upper West Side and managed a gay bar. 

Now… is it likely that people overheard Kitty’s cries for help and ignored them because they thought someone else would deal with it? Or, perhaps, did they ignore her because they knew she was a lesbian and just didn’t care?

Maybe that’s not the case. Maybe it was just a random attack. Maybe her neighbours didn’t know she was gay, or didn’t care.

But it’s a huge chunk of information to leave out about her in a supposedly scientific study of events, since her sexuality made her much more vulnerable to violent crimes than the average person. And it’s a dishonour to her memory.

RIP Kitty Genovese. Society may only remember you for how you died, but I will remember you for who who were.

[chemicalheart-deactivated202009]

this was one of the first lessons I had in psych too and we were never told about this either nor was it in any of the reading materials

[thelingerieaddict-deactivated20]

I never knew this.

[dsudis]

I also never knew this about Kitty Genovese, but I do know that, in fact, many of the dozen (not thirty-eight) people who witnessed some part of the attack (which took place after 3AM, on a chilly night in March when most people’s windows were closed) tried to help in some way.

One shouted out his window for the attacker to leave her alone, which did successfully scare the man off temporarily.

Another called the police but, seeing her still on her feet, said only that there had been a fight but the woman seemed to be okay.

And when Kitty Genovese was finally attacked in a vestibule where she couldn’t be seen from outside, Karl Ross, a neighbor, saw what was happening but was too frightened himself to go to her rescue–so he started calling other neighbors to ask what he should do. Eventually one of them told him to call the police, which he did, and the woman he called, Sophie Farrar, rushed out to help Kitty even though she didn’t know whether the attacker was gone.

Kitty Genovese died in the arms of a neighbor who tired to help and comfort her while they waited for the police and ambulance to arrive. Kitty was in fact still alive, although mortally wounded, when the ambulance reached the scene.

The man who saw the final stabbing? Who panicked and called other neighbors first instead of the police? The man who said, infamously, that he “didn’t want to get involved” because he was reluctant to turn to the police for help? He was thought to be gay himself. He was a friend of Kitty and Mary Ann’s. After being interviewed by the police he took a bottle of vodka to Mary Ann and sat with her, trying to comfort her.

So, no. I don’t think the evidence indicates that Kitty Genovese’s neighbors let her die because she was a lesbian, because Kitty Genovese’s neighbors tried to help.

(Also, going by the content of the murderer’s confession, it was indeed a random attack.)

[talesofthestarshipregeneration]

how on EARTH was this “scientifically” studied but the details gotten so wrong and the wrong as hell conclusion published and taught in schools?!?!?! where were those scientists observation skills?! on vacation?!

[deadcatwithaflamethrower]

How to take facts and turn them into an urban legend that gets taught in schools: Make a bad made-for-t.v.-movie about it, watch it, believe everything the movie says, annnnnnnd go!  That’s how it gets taught as this supposed “scientific study.”  Someone got fucking lazy.

Spread the real deal, kids.

[tehriz]

A book about this, “No One Helped”: Kitty Genovese, New York City, and the Myth of Urban Apathy, won the Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Nonfiction this year! if anyone wants to check it out try your local library!

[antique-scarecrow]

I have heard her name so many times and had truly no idea how outrageously irresponsible the scientific community has been in misrepresenting her story. This is a travesty. Kitty Genovese and others liker her deserve better, deserve dignity and truth in their absences, and I hope we keep fighting for those truths.
