woman yelling at cat meme but make it ancient greek red figure pottery

[swirling-orbs-of-disorder]

From ancient to abstract, this one sure got around.

Japanese one made no sense to me until I finally saw the “sale sale/sasa lele” version. セール　セール。 But then it’s a meme so it has to be misspelled?  🤷‍♂️

Men are going to call you a bitch no matter how selflessly you bend over backwards for them. If a man would call you a bitch under any circumstances, it’s a matter of when and not if.

Stop putting up with shit to postpone the label ❤️ you deserve better

[bimbocracy]

A good place to start if you struggle with this:

You don’t have to laugh at men’s jokes if they aren’t funny. You can literally just stand there stonefaced if you didn’t find it amusing. Even if the joke wasn’t indefensibly repulsive. If you didn’t find it funny you don’t have to laugh

[bimbocracy]

You also don’t have to stop talking when they interrupt you. You can just keep talking. If you’re in a group of more than you & him you can turn physically to face the other person and continue the conversation with them instead.

[bimbocracy]

Men are counting on you to care deeply about their approval, but it’s literally worth nothing. It’s redeemable for fuck all. You can’t pay your bills with it. You can’t put it in the bank. It is completely meaningless. Stop letting men use it con you into self-sacrificing and deferential behavior. It’s literally just hot air.

[tonystarkstan]

I bet Bucky just constantly takes pictures of birds and sends them to Sam in a, “omg it’s you!” fashion.

Bucky: Saw you on my morning run. Could’ve said hi, you creep.

Sam: ???

Bucky:

-

Bucky: Have you never seen a bee before?

Sam: Of course I have. What kind of question is that?

Bucky:

Sam: I fucking hate you.

-

Bucky: Why do you look like that?

Sam: *sigh* I don’t wanna know.

Bucky, cackling and showing him anyway:

-

Bucky: If you needed to borrow some money, all you had to do was ask.

Sam: What are you even talking about?

Bucky:

Sam: That’s not even a falcon, you asshole.

The best part is the fact that out of the two of them Martha Stewart was the one who went to prison.

[shadowkat678]

Wait…what?

[2fngrsin]

Wiiiiild. He did commit murder (in self defense - no judging) and America‘s Best Housewife was sent to jail because of insider trading, securities fraud, obstruction of justice and conspiracy. This is wiiiiiild 😄😄😄

[skrytch]

[brunhiddensmusings]

also he has every right to make fun of kanye west considering snoop has had a successful career for about two decades including his own cookbook and appearing in movies whereas kanye is a flat earther who had to crowdfund another album because he ran out of money despite kim kardashian being with him, not having the money to produce another album should be the metric when you know you can tell a musician has failed somewhere in either money management or actually being a musician rather then a famous trainwreck

[sunshine-tattoo]

snoop dogg is a good man who loves cooking, nature, and supporting the dreams of young children in poverty. kanye west helped get trump elected.

[brunhiddensmusings]

seriously though check out his cookbook its beautiful

and filled with lgiht humor, legit cooking, and charming life stories

[nevercure]

Whenever I think about snoop I remember that episode of cribs where he lived in an unusually modest house compared to everyone else on that show, spent the entire time with his young daughter hugging onto his leg and dragging her around as he walked. He even talked about how he didn’t want his kids to be musicians and that he just wants them to have a chance at a normal life / he doesn’t wish music career drama on anyone

The dude is mega down to earth for having a networth of 135 million dollars and staying relevant for longer than some of the top charting musicians have been alive

[brunhiddensmusings]

he says he keeps a supply of poptarts in the house for his nieces/nephews and grandkids but admits theyre really for him and then goes on to discuss what selection of condiments your fridge should have to jazz up leftover takeout hes one of the most thoroughly human humans ive ever known of

My conversations with children

[marauders4evr]

Okay as a fifth year education major in a wheelchair who is constantly around very curious kids and very paranoid parents, this is single-handedly the greatest video I have ever seen!

[daggers-drawn]

A gentle reminder that accepting disabled people doesn’t mean ignoring their disabilities.

[scloutier]

“That happens sometimes.”

[valtharr]

that’s what I’m always saying: kids, especially young kids, don’t need every detail explained to them. generally speaking, they will accept what a trusted adult tells them. so if you tell them “yeah, sometimes, people lose their legs”, they will just accept that. I mean, they accept a woman with wings breaking into their room while they sleep to buy their teeth from them, but somehow, parents think “yeah, people that are different from you exist” is too much of a concept for them to grasp

[dykecosette]

kids don’t need every detail but some kids might need more detail so they don’t think the leg will just fall off

“Pants were invented for men” not according to my ancestors.

[creatrixarcanum]

Pants were invented for riding horses. People who didn’t have nomad horse culture all wore dresses. Dress wearing old greek men considered pants to be the mark of barbarism. Like the Scynthians and Samaritans.

Also- the Scynthian and Samaritan tribes were known for equality between genders. Where women were renouned hunters and archers. They are where the greeks got the idea for Amazons.

So sorry bro pants are totally for women. You just mad its for riding something that’s not you.

[its-zezzy]

Okay but like based on genital structure, it would actually make sense for mean to wear skirts and women pants, why are we even talking about logic

“This video of this adorable little girl encouraging her Dad while he tries to do her hair, is just what we needed to brighten up our day.” [X]

[startrekrenegades]

[Dad: How’m I doing on your hair? Child: Good! Dad: Let’s see, do I need more grease? Child: Yes. You need more grease on there. Dad: More grease? And then what? Child: And then you gonna need to brush it, and then you put a band on there. Dad: A band on it? Child: Yeah! Dad: Aww.. Child: You’re getting it through! You’re almost done! You’re doing a good job! Dad: Aww, thank you, sweetheart, so much! Daddy’s trying, doing the best I can. Thank you so much. Child: You’re welcome! Dad: I’m almost done! Child: You been doing great! Dad: Aw baby, thank you so much, you’re so encouraging to Dad. Thank you. Child: You’re welcome. Dad: I really appreciate you so much. You’re so awesome. Daddy getting your ponytails ready for school.]

this is so pure

[valerie1972]

Kids that age are parrots of tone and phrasing. So the whole bit with “You’re getting it through! You’re almost done! You’re doing a good job!” means that there is at least one adult, if not more, in her life that regularly talks to her that way.

Everything about this video makes me happy.

[randomslasher]

this is the purest thing I have ever seen in my life. *wipes away a tear* I am blessed to have seen this.

[worldwariotwo]

this isn’t a meme but you all can deal its so good

[sidras-tak]

here are some things I just heard:

a door slamming

someone exclaim “oh, you sneaky bastard”

the sound of a bell jingling down the hallway

someone at the end of the hallway gasping “hello beautiful!!” in that very special I’m-talking-to-an-unexpected-cat voice

[sandersstudies]

some things I heard myself:

a light thud

someone exclaiming “listen here, one of us can see in the dark and it’s not me, so we’re gonna have to figure this out”

a meow

[tehriz]

literally every minor sound from the street carries up to us since it’s so narrow, last year this happened:

a deep voice going “HEY”

me immediately concerned, it is dark, what is happening

same deep voice: “WHAT DO YOU HAVE”

the playful jingling of dog tags

“WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH”

jingle jingle jingle

Your professor will not be happy with you if he says the Stanford Prison Experiment shows human nature and you say it shows the nature of white middle class college-aged boys.

Like he will not be happy at all.

[cannon-fannon]

For real though. That experiment. Scary shit.

[hollowedskin]

This reminds me of a discussion that I read once which said Lord of the Flies would have turned out a hell of a lot differently if it was a private school of young girls (who are expected to be responsible and selfless instead), or a public school where the children weren’t all from an inherently entitled, emotionally stunted social class (studies have shown that people in lower socioeconomic classes show more compassion for others). Or that the same premise with children raised in a different culture than the toxic and opressive British Empire and it’s emphasis on social hierarchy and personal wealth and status. And that what we perceive as the unchangable truth deep inside humanity because of things like Lord of the Flies and the Stanford Prison Experiment, is just the base truths about what happens when you remove any accountabilty controlling one social group with an overwhelming sense of entitlement and an inability to feel compassion.

[lady-feral]

I will always reblog this.

[shinykari]

I just wanna say that the Lord of the Flies was explicitly written about high-class private school boys to make this exact point. Golding wrote Lord of the Flies partially to refute an earlier novel about this same subject: The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne. Golding thought it was absolutely absurd that a bunch of privileged little shits would set up some sort of utopia, so his book shows them NOT doing that.

[roscoerackham]

This is also generally true about most psychological experiments.

There’s an experiment called “The Ultimatum Game”. It goes something like this.

Subject A is given an amount of money (Say, $100).

Subject A must offer Subject B some percentage of that money.

If Subject B accepts Subject A’s offer, both get the agreed upon amount of money. If Subject B refuses, no one gets any money.

The most common result was believed to be that people favored 50/50 splits. Anything too low was rejected; people wanted fairness. This was believed to be universal.

And then a researcher went to Peru to do the experiment with members of the indigenous Machiguenga population, and was baffled to find that the results were totally different.

Because, to the Machiguenga, refusing any amount of free money (even an unfair amount) was considered crazy.

So the researcher took his work on the road (to 14 other ‘small scale’ societies and tribes) , and to his shock found the results varied wildly depending on where the test was done. 

In fact, the “universal” result? Was an outlier. 

And that’s the problem. 96% percent of test subjects for psychological research come from 12% of the population. Stuff that we consider to be universal facts of human nature… even things like optical illusions, just… aren’t.

 You can read an article about it here.  But the crux of it is that psychology is plagued with confirmation bias, and people are shaped more by their environment than we realize. 

[daggers-drawn]

What this has created tho is a medical system that centers the psychology of middle and upper class white men.

[afunnyfeminist]

And doing that is so irresponsible and wreckless and not scientific. Results of a study can only be extrapolated to the population from which the sample was taken. The purpose of publishing research is to allow others replicate it with other populations, not to make sweeping assumptions about everyone.

[snowberry-pie]

I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:

Colder tones!!!

This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now
