in the past, i had to prepare for several exams by self-studying for long hours at home, so over the years i’ve learned the best ways to adapt to this situation, which i now present in this little infographic. i hope it can ease some of the pressure! 💜

Y’know, when you look at historical clothing in museums and suchlike, one thing really strikes you, and that’s how fuckin short and tiny people were back then. Like, some of those Victorian dresses MIGHT have fitted me…when I was about 11 and 5 foot nothing.
My 5′ 8″ self would have been a huge towering Amazon 150 years ago.
I actually had it pointed out to me recently (regarding weight, at least) that this is a kind of survivor’s bias. The reason all the clothes in museums and other collections are so tiny size wise is because those are the sizes that were least likely to be passed down, recut, reutilized, etc. Average or large sized items would have been worn more by more people and therefore less likely to make it to a museum in a displayable state.
(Same for why so many clothes in museums tend to be of fine quality, belonging to higher classes. Simple clothing belonging to working folks got USED and couldn’t be salvaged generations upon generations later for viewing).
We definitely have lots of evidence that the average height of folks has gotten taller over the centuries, for sure. But our perspective on what was average for the time is probably skewed.
(which in the case of the info I was given was more meant to point out that Fat People Have Always Been Here. But I do think it still applies.)
That’s actually a really good point that I hadn’t considered.
Also, a lot of those tiny waists in old garments? Just LOOKED tiny comparatively with all those voluminous petticoats and skirts.
Ya girl is on a Dolly Parton kick so HERE’S A FEW FACTS ABOUT DOLLY
She started singing at age 10, but didn’t get “discovered” until she was 21 and started on the Porter Wagoner Show. So, 21 give or take years of being a woman in poverty.
Her father was an illiterate sharecropper who also took side jobs to help support his 12 children, of whom Dolly was the 4th.
Many of the stories she shares in a lot of her songs about her childhood (ex. Coat of Many Colors) are true.
Setting aside the obvious Communist leanings of 9 to 5, and her overall side-stepping of her political opinions, she has made multiple comments about how queer people and people of color should be appreciated and valued. Additionally, “Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” is one of the most sex worker positive movies I have ever seen in my life.
She deliberately modeled herself after the “town tramp” because she thought they were the most beautiful women in her town.
Her philanthropic efforts extend to raising money for HIV/AIDS related charities, donating books around the world for young children, and outright giving money to families impacted by the 2016 Tennessee wildfires without any strings.
She is 73 years old, and I would fight a bear for her, assuming she didn’t beat me to it.
pirates: mostly men, allowed gay marriage, attack sailors
mermaids: mostly women, not usually interested in men, attack sailors
conclusion: pirates and mermaids are sea mlm/wlw solidarity
pirate crew, calling out to the mermaids watching on the rocks nearby as they hoist the jolly roger: arr, let's go lesbians! let's go!
Democrats: alright we finally did it, Trumps been impeached. Time for a trial in the-
Republicans: lol yeah about that trial. It’s not gonna be fair or anything, we’ve already made up our minds and there’s gonna be like, 0 witnesses
Democrats: oh? Ok then. If that’s the case then I guess we’ll just hold on to these *pockets articles of impeachment*
Republicans:
Can someone explain what this means?
Our president has been charged with misconduct through the only proccess that is outlined in our constitution (impeachment). The next step in the process is that the president goes on trial. Republicans in the senate, where the trial will take place, have already said they have made up their minds and will vote based on bias. They have stated that it will be a quick trial with no witnesses and a guaranteed vote on acquittal. The democrats, who control the charges, have said that they will not release the charges to the senate until fair rules have been established. Republicans seem shocked by this turn of events
In case you’re wondering why this would make the republicans upset, the need this to go to trial or Trump will be on record as having been impeached and not acquitted.
The 2020 election is also coming up and a number of these senators are coming up for re-election.
FLIP
THE
FUCKING
SENATE
FLIP THE FUCKING SENATE
FUCKING VOTE.
Here’s how you verify you’re registered to vote: https://www.rockthevote.org/voting-information/am-i-registered-to-vote/
Here’s how you register if you’re not: https://www.vote.org/register-to-vote/
Here’s how you find your fucking polling place: https://yourfuckingpollingplace.com/
If you have time, register for an absentee ballot in your state. That way you don’t even have to go to a polling place, you just have to fill it out and mail it in on time.
Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z outnumber Boomers. More of us are Liberals who care about each other and social safety nets. More of us give a fuck about the future because we have to live in it.
Flip the Senate. Fucking Vote. It’s so goddamn important.
2020 is crucial.
December 15 2019 - The UFC’s biggest MAGA piece of shit (other than president Dana White) Colby Covington just had a title fight against Nigerian immigrant champion Kamaru Usman. During the fight Colby got his jaw broken, got knocked out in the last round and then proceeded to literally run away during the champ’s victory announcement. [video]/[video]/[video]
“This fight is greater than me just beating up a guy that’s talking a lot of shit. This fight means a lot to me, so when I get a chance to put my hands on this guy let’s just know it’s the wrath of every single immigrant that has stepped foot in this country.” - Kamaru Usman

One day, that “secret family recipe” will just be that recipe their ancestor looked up online years ago and everybody liked.
I found out one of my family’s “secret recipes” is on the back of the pudding box. Uncle Rich bakes up some lies.
While researching his book The Nordic Cookbook, chef Magnus Nilsson found that every family in Sweden has a special, unique family recipe for pickled herring passed down secretly from generation to generation. He got about 200 of these. They were all exactly the same. He traced the origin point back to a popular cookbook published in the late 1960s. I think the moral of that story is everyone’s grandma is a liar.
Guys, I can top this.
It’s time for the tale of Great-Grandma’s Macaroni and Cheese.
My Great-Grandma Mary was famous in her family for her macaroni and cheese. By all accounts it was an amazing mac and cheese- a baked casserole-style concoction of perfectly cooked elbow noodles and creamy, lusciously cheesy sauce. Because Dad loved it so much, it was always, without fail, sitting bubbling and golden in the dish set out on the dinner table just as he and his family arrived for visits, a testament to grandmotherly love and culinary mastery.
Fast-forward a couple dozen years.
My mother had never made macaroni and cheese. At the time she married my dad, she was a very good cook. She’d been cooking since she was about six or seven and had outstripped both her parents’ abilities in most areas. So when Dad started raving about Great-Grandma Mary’s macaroni and cheese, she did what any loving newlywed would do: she attempted to make macaroni and cheese.
According to all reports, it was an unmitigated disaster.
The sauce broke. The noodles turned to mush. The entire concoction was, in a word, inedible. Dad took one bite and spit it out. Horrified that her husband would do such a thing. Mom took a bite- and spat it out. It was vile. Mortified, Mom threw out the remains and vowed to obtain Great-Grandma Mary’s secret recipe.
Not long afterwards, they went and visited Great-Grandma for the holidays. As usual, there was the macaroni and cheese, laid out in golden splendor upon the dinner table when they arrived. Mom was finally able to sample the famous macaroni and cheese and pronounced it quite as good as Dad’s stories made it out to be.
After dinner, she cornered Great-Grandma Mary and spilled the whole debacle about her failed attempts to recreate Dad’s favorite dish, and begged Great-Grandma Mary to share her secret.
Great-Grandma Mary smiled and brought her and my father into the kitchen. Rather than reaching for a cookbook of family culinary wisdom, or into the pantry for a secret ingredient, she went to the freezer, opened it, and, as Dad looked on in horror, drew out a family-sized box of Stouffer’s frozen macaroni and cheese.
“I have a casserole dish just this size,” she said. “I just pop it in there, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top, and nobody knows the difference.”
You would have thought someone had just stolen Dad’s teddy bear.
To this day, nearly twenty-seven years later, we still refer to Stouffer’s as ‘Great-Grandma’s Macaroni and Cheese’.
i could not have dreamed up a more repellent film concept to me personally than a divorce movie starring adam driver and scarlett johansson
It's gonna be Baby Yoda
Jokes aside enough of these "hints" and "coulds". Either actually give us something or shut the fuck up
I hate this cause it's just trying to sell tickets and get butts in seats without promising anything! Like any movie "COULD" do this, but will it?? Fuck you

A very good post.
In 15 seconds of dialogue Francis Wilkerson sums up what’s wrong with how women are criticized in our society and it’s great
I literally remember when this aired and something clicked in my head. He was putting to words what I kept seeing over and over in media without apology or explanation
i found a christian retelling of the first harry potter book and it claims that birthdays are unholy and are made up
some highlights
Ron is a Slytherin
Draco is a Ravenclaw AND a mysogonist
Snape isn’t a cunt and is really nice and caring towards Harry
Angels have replaced owls
Dean Thomas is a main character for no reason
Dumbledore isn’t gay and is married to a woman and is ALSO Hermionies dad
It doesn’t take place in the UK for some reason
Wizard duels are now called pray-offs
I’ll add more when i read more

Harry converts Draco into being a Gryffindor (who are depicted as pitch perfect Christians who follow the bible closely and only take orders from God)
Eco friendly-ness is bad apparently
Voldemort has hair
Believing in evolution is apparently Satanic
Voldemort wanted to make Christianity ILLEGAL
Voldemort ALSO has a Reddit account
Dumbledore calls Reddit a “godless coven”
THEY LITERALLY TRY AND CONVERT VOLDEMORT INTO BEING A CHRISTIAN
Harry says that Voldemort has been tricked by the lies of society and that he deserves to burn in hell
““I’m just so upset that you don’t accept the Bible,” Hermionie sobbed femininely. “The Bible is the best book ever. Why can’t you respect that?”“
Voldemort is described as a fornicating, drug-addicted evolutionist (Actually, this is what the author says that all Evolutionists are like this)
I can’t believe i found a fic to rival My Immortal

I love you thank you
Dumbledore is married to McGonagall.
There are several paragraphs describing beloved fictional characters’ chest hair.
Slytherins are Catholics.
Petunia wears pant suits.
“Aunt Petunia smacked her hands over Harry’s young ears; and her voice was sickly sweet when she said, “Thank you very much for your concern, sir, but he does not need your religion, he has science and socialism and birthdays. “
Reblog if you don’t need religion because you have science socialism and birthdays
I’ve got evolution and fornication, to boot!
I don’t know what I expected from this post but holy shit I agree.
well I sure hope so?
A couple things here…
1. How do you suppose the 1960 conservatives would react to the idea of a President who has close ties to the leader of Russia? What would they say about the fact that so many of his followers are literal Nazis?
2. If AOC appeared to be a lunatic to 1960 Americans, it would be because the principle thing she advocates for–the 70% marginal tax rate–was policy at that time. So she’d be running around going “Marginal tax rates should be 70%!” and everyone would go “…yes? They are? Shouldn’t you, a sitting member of Congress, know that?”
The marginal tax rate in 1962 was 87% percent.
That’s how the 1960s had the money to build highways and go to the fucking moon.
Reblogging for the comments
guillermo del toro could write cosmic horror but lovecraft could never write the shape of water
The difference between the Shape of Water and Shadow Over Innsmouth is that one was written by a racist and the other isn't.
#Del Toro sees monsters as people#Lovecraft saw people as monsters#His racism affects how fictional monsters and concepts are perceived in his fiction#The unknown is abhorrent and harmful#Rather than something that we see ourselves in#Love is recognition
how can you keep this in the tags??
when lizzo said "self love is survival" and when hannah gadsby said "do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation" and when mitski said "i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation"
When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay
Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe
4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger
1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix
1 TBs ketchup
1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,
1 Tbs bbq sauce
1 Tbs steak sauce
1 egg
mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)
You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf
I was thinking that this was gonna be a sweet story then you threw in your ma being homophobic like a left hook to my jaw
