a variety of strange flags seen in dreams …

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

I have never believed that dreams are doors to alternate dimensions but I am reconsidering my stance

you can try to defend the beauty industry all you want but aside from that video of the girl chemically burning the shit out of her face on purpose to make a “permanent contour” i also know women in my life who have gotten their eyebrows and their eyeliner tattooed on (respectively) simply because they thought it was a better alternative than applying them onto their faces every single day for the rest of their lives or risk being judged/ridiculed/punished by society

like think of how delicate the skin of the eye is where your eyeliner goes. imagine getting a fucking tattoo there. imagine thinking that pain is worth it because you feel so doomed to wearing makeup and yet so exhausted by the sheer idea of putting it on every day for the rest of your life

one of these women is my grandmother and the other is my aunt’s grandmother, and both of them have explicitly told me that they regret getting these tattoos, and neither of them got them redone when they eventually faded, years and years later. this isn’t a matter of “they love makeup and it helps them express themselves so let them do what they want!” it’s a matter of desperation, of resignation to the constraints and expectations of a society that wants women to look fuckable at literally all costs, even if it means undergoing significant, and even permanent, physical harm.

“beauty is pain” is just another (condescending) way of saying “your priority should be your looks, not your personal well-being” and no amount of loving makeup as a hobby and form of self-expression is going to make that stop being true

I am fairly sure there are other explanatory factors for a dropping life expectancy, such as skyrocketing obesity rates and no one exercising enough. There’s not much evidence that increases in the quantity of working hours is linked to a dropping life expectancy.

ya ever hear of researching shit before you embarrass yourself?

[pseudomonaslisa]

it’s also funny that u would imply that people not getting enough exercise is in no way linked to people working longer hours

[ohcoolaslug]

This planet literally does not have the resources to sustain a 40 hour work week. Within the next 20 years, before the end of our careers, we MUST transition to LESS THAN 20 HOURS a week if we want to avoid disastrous, irreversible climate change

honestly if this talk of walmart unionizing actually becomes something i’m going to lose my fucking mind lmao. 

1% of the usa’s labor force works for walmart. thats fucking huge. this would be a fucking incredible move.

[thequantumqueer]

#i really hope it works. walmart has been known to close entire stores to stop unionization but if it’s widespread enough it could work

I got an ad for the us air force on my fb and I clicked “why am i seeing this”. Hell world!!!!

i want to share with you some of my favourite graffiti from Pompeii

“Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!“ 

“Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.“ 

“We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.“

“Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.“

“On April 19th, I made bread.“

“ I have buggered men.“

“If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girlfriend.“

“It took 640 paces to walk back and forth between here and there ten times.“

“Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they every have before!“

“Epaphra is not good at ball games.”

“Two friends were here.  While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus.  They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores.“

“Secundus likes to screw boys.“

I’ve always loved these. Humanity has never fucking changed.

i’m done hearing about small pores, i’m done hearing about smooth legs, i’m done hearing about frizzy hair, about under eye bags, about dull skin, short eyelashes, waistlines... how many more years can women take this constant scrutiny? from ads on public transportation, sponsored posts on social media, tabloid covers in the checkout lines, our subconscious minds are regularly noting all these subtle accusations that we are falling short of our duty to the world to be attractive. i can’t even sit in my own goddamn home by myself and watch tv without some corporation trying to make bank by paying an unnaturally pretty model to practically laugh into the camera and point out another imperfection of mine. i’m tired and i’d like to go just one day without being reminded that i’m on display

I want to explain how weird dolphins are...

In anticipation of being able to clean a dolphin skull I’ve been thinking a lot about how completely FUCKY dolphins and other cetaceans are anatomy wise… Like they are some of the strangest, most alien mammals out there. Specifically their skulls and heads. 

So this is your typical dolphin, a smooth round head with a cute smiling beak. You would think their skulls would be shaped like their heads, that’s usually how skulls work. Something like this….

But In reality their skulls actually look like THIS flat alligator thing…

I’m sure you are thinking… “Where is the forehead”??? What if I told you that entire big lumpy forehead isn’t actually its “forehead” but rather something called a “melon” which is actually part of the NOSE or nasal apparatus.

Its essentially just a big gross fluid/jelly blob masquerading as a decent forehead. The melon has evolved as a way of amplifying and detecting vocalizations used in echolocation. Other terrifying facts:

They have no ear holes, most sound is picked up by a combination of the melon and vibrations through the jaw bone. 

They can’t breathe through their mouths. There is something called a  laryngeal plug completely separates the respiratory and digestive tracts. Cetaceans have been known to drown if their blowhole is obstructed.

Their breathing is not automatic. They must constantly think and chose when to take breaths. 

Sperm whales (Also cetaceans) are the loudest animals on earth. If you were to swim right next to their giant heads as they released a sonar pulse the shockwave could cause internal bleeding and nerve damage. Partially thanks to their giant “melon” amplifying and directing the pulse.
