1929 Molyneux bridal or presentation gown of ivory satin ground covered with large rose motifs in pearl and silver beads, the skirt with floating panels forming an irregular hem. Lucite and rhinestone buckle to front waist. From Kerry Taylor Auctions.
out of this world trolling lmao
For bonus context, the actual quote they’re citing for this protest comes from Edgar Mitchell (1930-2016), who flew in Apollo 14 and was the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
The full quotation, referring to the experience of observing Earth from the Moon surface, is thus:
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’
#WE’VE DONE IT BOYS#WE’VE PUT SALT IN SPACE
I try to keep politics off this blog but this genuinely funny
The only real equivalent Marvel has to Bruce Wayne is Logan, no it does not matter that he isn’t a billionaire, this is my hill, I will die on it.
Fact the first: Both are socially inept jackasses who insist this is proof they are meant to be alone. When alone, they sit in their Feels and cry because they don’t actually want to be alone.
Fact the second: Both are under the impression that unattended children are like Pokemon, and you gotta catch ‘em all.
Fact the third: Both make shadowy government agencies swoon with the desire to follow them around and collect their blood spatters to turn into clones. Kidnapping is also occasionally on the table.
Fact the fourth: Both are sometimes surprisingly good at parenting and other times absolutely the worst at parenting. There is no in between.
Fact the fifth: Both staunchly insist they are not team players. Both are also on an average of 12.5 teams at any given moment.
Fact the sixth: Both are the best there is at what they do. Both really really really never get tired of reminding everyone that they are the best there is at what they do.
Fact the seventh: Both are completely incapable of determining if their teammate (Clark Kent, Scott Summers) is their best friend, worst enemy, rival, love interest, or occasionally all of the above. Sometimes this leads to being the center point of an isosceles love triangle, and with it usually mistaken as having Diana Prince or Jean Grey as the center point of said isosceles love triangle. Diana Prince and Jean Grey are never the center point of said isosceles love triangle.
Fact the eighth: Both have at least (1) over-achieving, perfectionist and precocious child or child surrogate who was already glued to them at the hip when they probably should have been watching Saturday morning cartoons still instead (Dick Grayson, Kitty Pryde), (1) brooding, misunderstood bad boy child who they do not have good relationships with on account of All The Murder (Jason Todd, Daken), (1) undersized, underestimated ball of jaded cynicism with the potential to Destroy Civilization should said cynicism ever evolve all the way into jaded nihilism, hence it is highly recommended that they not be left alone to their own devices (Tim Drake, Jubilation Lee), (1) exceptionally talented Warrior Child who takes after them in most ways, including their claims to be too brooding/solitary/dangerous to have friends, but who actually collect friends and allies like they’re a supermagnet dragging all things iron into their sphere (Cassandra Cain, Laura Kinney), (1) Smol and Adorable Murder Child who really should be kept away from all things with stabbing potential, but whom it is equally impossible to keep away from all things with stabbing potential (Damian, Gabby), and (1) Shiny New Child who likes to claim they don’t know what they’re doing here, two seconds before turning the dial up to eleven like this is Spinal Tap and they try and catch up to their siblings’ scores in the game of Wtf Why Would Anyone Think That Was A Good Idea in a span of 24 hours or less (Duke Thomas, Jimmy Hudson).
Fact the ninth: Both have never met a romantic interest who hasn’t tried to kill them or at least seriously considered trying to kill them at least once. Yes, this includes Clark Kent and Scott Summers. In defense of their love interests, said love interests are usually extremely Valid for these attempts.
Fact the tenth: Both have at least one ruthless, relentless and implacable enemy who is either their brother or long-time friend who’s completely obsessed with them, depending on which dimension they’re in or just like, which day of the week it is (Lincoln March, Owlman, Hush, Sabretooth, Dog. Yes, Logan has a brother named Dog, you can look it up, I couldn’t make this up if I tried.)
Fact the eleventh: Both would really like to be excluded from all narratives including the originators of ancient cults or secret societies with ties to their fursonas (Barbatos, Romulus).
Fact the twelfth: Both would really like their children and colleagues to stop referring to them as having fursonas.
Fact the thirteenth: Both are convinced they are the last line of defense should their colleagues, friends and families ever go mad with power and need to be taken down. The families, friends and colleagues of both would really like them to get over themselves and stop milking this as an excuse to avoid all social gatherings and/or fun, for they have all already lived through five versions of that scenario by now and no longer care.
Fact the fourteenth: Both would really like time travel and time travelers to leave them alone, they are old and they are tired.
and
Fact the fifteenth: Time travel and time travelers will never ever leave them alone.
holy fuck

#and I just don’t feel entitled to someone else’s life’s work.
That comment exactly!! It’s not mine and I can survive without it, so I will.
This is why honey is not vegan.
The problem here is that honey, especially if you buy it ethically from an apiarist, isn’t actually detrimental to the well-being of the bee or the hive. In the wild, honey is used as a food stock, but in a domesticated honeybee colony, the bees are fed quite well, and so the honey is a surplus.
The alternatives, like sugar, relies on monocrops in third world countries, with transient labour. Growing up, there was a sugarcane field by my house, and I’m sure the Haitian men who worked backbreaking hours hacking a machete through knife-bladed leaves in 40 degree heat for a couple dollars a day would have traded a testicle to be a Canadian honeybee. Stevia’s going the same way, iirc.
Additionally, apiarists are actually huge proponents and activists for sustainable bee-keeping, and it’s estimated that the domesticated hive may be the last great hope for declining populations, because we can optimize their chances for survival.
It’s their life’s work, sure, but it’s not the death of them to use it responsibly.
literally read anything about the history of sugarcane and the cuban sugar industry if you think sugar is or ever has been more ethical than honey
Beekeepers-
Provide a home for the bees
Keep that home warm in the winter
Keep the bees well fed, negating the need for honey, which the bees would make anyways
Still do not take all the honey, just in case
Protect the bees from predators
Monitor the hives for any signs of the parasites, diseases, etc. that cause colony collapse disorder
Their bees-
Provide a valuable and reliable source of pollination for plants in the area, both wild and crops
Help keep the local ecosystem healthy
Honey-
Is one of the healthiest things you can eat
Is able to keep for a EXTREMELY long time (Millennia even), making it more valuable than many perishable foods without being full of preservatives
Can be used to soothe sore throats, nauseau, etc.
Has been eaten by humans since at least Ancient Egypt (We’ve found STILL EDIBLE honey in tombs)
Is a great tool in cooking, adding sweetness without raising the sugar content much
Is a staple food in many people’s diets
Honey is amazing you can put it on or in pretty much everything I goddamn love it and you should too.
Honey is also a natural antimicrobial that has been used medicinally since time out of mind on external wounds like edible neosporin.
Particularly useful in the treatment of dermal abcesses.
“oh no we steal it from the bees!” *has no problem benefiting from exploited migrant farm workers*
That’s how she looked
I adore her. She poisoned their soup (she was working in the cantine and was forced to serve the occupying nazis) and ATE the same soup to proove her innocence. Then she rushed home to her grandma who gave her a whole jar of milk to drink and throw up.
lmao she shot the interrogator with his own gun. and she was a member of a resistance movement named Young Avengers.
she was 17. teenage girls are so fucking hardcore
Happy Labor Day. Today I learned about probably the first strike to happen IN SPACE.
“We would never work 16 hours a day for 84 straight days on the ground, and we should not be expected to do it here in space.“
The day when three NASA astronauts staged a strike in space (Hiltzik, LA Times)
She took up acting because the malnutrition she suffered under the nazis permanently damaged her health and prevented her from pursuing her dream to be a ballerina. During the war, she danced to raise money for the resistance - even though she was literally starving, she used what strength she had to make sure more nazis got shot.
She and her mom also denounced their royal heritage because of the Nazis in their family
Also Audrey was a humanitarian until her death, though ill with cancer, she continued her work for UNICEF, travelling to Somalia, Kenya, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France and the United States.
These are things I literally never would have known about. I’m tired of women being painted as just being pretty.
I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE HER AT AN OLDER AGE I SWEAR!
Here’s another nice one.
For the longest time I assumed she had died really young because I never saw any pictures of her at an older age. She was an amazing woman.
My new favorite thing is realtors adding “NOT HAUNTED” to for sale signs, completely convincing any sane person that the house is definitely haunted.
