Time Person of the Year 2017 - The Silence Breakers

Terry Crews is suing agent Adam Venit and William Morris Endeavor for sexual assault. Crews says Venit groped him in front of his wife at an industry event. Venit was briefly suspended from the agency.

“People were saying, ‘you should have beaten him up.’ I’m like, ‘why is nobody questioning him?’ Nobody questions the predator. You know why? Because they just expect it. And I expect it. And I just said, ‘no more.’ Why are you questioning the victim here? Let’s flip it. Let’s talk about what the predator is doing.”

The agency said it had suspended and demoted Venit, who declined to comment.

capybaras are friend shaped

I love this post

[cantavier]

This is actually a cool thing I know about!

In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.

Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.

Like puppies

Ducks

Deer

Emus

They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!

During a military campaign, Vlad the Impaler, the basis for Dracula, once pulled his troops out of a major engagement in a valley at dusk so that the sun was in their enemies’ eyes. Once they were over the hill, they set loose a bunch of rabid bats who flew away from the sun (towards the enemy) and attacked them, leading to significant infection in their ranks, and Vlad’s eventual victory. Because of how the bats appeared from where Vlad’s soldiers appeared to be at dusk, myth stated that the soldiers turned into bats at night, which is where the “Dracula can change into a bat” thing came from.

King James (the one known for revising the Bible) liked to watch women give birth. That’s where the “tradition” of women laying on their backs to give birth comes from.

Previous to that it was common for women to have chairs with holes in them and straw underneath, so they could sit on this special chair and let gravity help with the birthing process.

Spicy foods were thought to increase libido and cause children to masturbate. To prevent kids from touching themselves at night, a man named Kellogg invented the blandest combination of cereals, marketed it at kids, and called it Corn Flakes

At the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, a small group of Union soldiers had run out of ammo against a large group of the Confederate Army. In a panic, the Union soldiers sprinted at them, screaming, with only bayonets drawn. The entire Confederate Army that was present turned and ran away in fear, not knowing that they had literally no ammunition.

When the Roman Emperor Caligula went to invade Britain he stood on the coast of Gaul with his army and suddenly declared war on Neptune, God of the Sea. He had his men collect sea shells from the shore as “spoils from the Ocean”.

Oh and he appointed his horse to the senate.

During the Austro-Prussian war of 1868, Liechtenstein sent over an army of 80 people, but ended up coming back with 81 people because they befriended a guy on the other side.

People refused to send art and sculptures to be displayed at the Chicago World’s Fair because of Chicago’s history with fire. They had to fireproof the Fine Arts building to get people to agree to loan them their art. A year after the fair closed most of the grounds were destroyed by fire but the Fine Arts building survived. It’s now the Museum of Science and Industry.

The carbon emissions thing from Ghenghis Khan is not the whole story. He also planted trees wherever he conquered land because he liked trees and thought they were important. He conquered enough to make an impact on the global climate.

Radu III, brother of Vlad III( Vlad the Impaler)  nearly killed Mehmed II, the future Sultan of the Ottoman’s, after Mehmed invited him up to his chambers. Radu, seemingly unaware that the offer was sexual in nature, was startled when Mehmed embraced and then tried to kiss him. Radu stabbed the prince in the leg, then ran and hid in a tree. They later became lovers, and maintained a relationship for the rest of their lives

[queerstorian]

Just googled the last one because holy shit that’s magnificent and seemed to good to be true, but not only did it actually happen, but I also learned that radu was known as “radu the beautiful”

[afewreelthoughts]

fun date idea: stab him in the leg

Mary Magdalene was likely actually the leader of the great spiritual revolution that we now know as the rise of Christianity, but the credit was given to Jesus instead by the authors of the Bible centuries after her death. While she is recognized now as a concubine and sinner, there is no historical or biblical evidence that points to this in the original texts; in fact, it’s likely that she was actually held in fairly high regard given her implied financial status. She actually is also the reason that Christianity reached most of Europe. After Christ’s death, she traveled to the what is now the south of France to preach the gospel of the new faith, along with two other women (also named Mary). Certain towns and cities in southern France still celebrate her and her arrival in grand ceremonies, and fragments of her bones as well as her skull are held by a number of different churches throughout France today (though most were damaged in the French Revolution).

Um, I’m teaching a class on the intersection of sociopathy and fame. People like, um Andy Warhol, Jim Morrison. Their celebrity becomes the only thing they need to sustain their ego. Nixon was a sociopath. Very similar.

straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic

[floozys-deactivated20180908]

okay i made this post this morning and it has since had eighty two thousand notes, it’s been featured on reddit, facebook, twitter i’ve been sent multiple death threats and messages that i don’t even want to describe

straight boys are not ’weak and pathetic’

one of my favorite things about b99 is how jake is best friends with not one, but TWO women, and not only are his relationships with both of them fleshed out, unique, and 100% platonic, but it never even occurs to amy to worry about it. there’s no episode where amy thinks jake is cheating on her or secretly has a thing for gina and/or rosa. no one jokes that amy should watch out for them or keep an eye on jake. after jake starts dating amy, his friendships with rosa and gina are as tight as ever. because contrary to what 95% of tv would have you believe men and woman (gasp!) really can be just friends.

this shouldn’t be as remarkable as it is, but there you have it
