LAUGHIN' THRU THE PAINNN

[nateconnolly]

These days, lots of public libraries have a "library of things" collection where you can check out kitchen appliances or yard tools or toys, and, as a children's library assistant, the most popular library of things item that I handle regularly is a plastic scepter thingy called like "unicorn princess magic wand". And whenever I check it out I make a big show of looking at the little kid and being like "do you solemnly swear to use your unicorn princess magic powers only for good and never for evil?"

And pretty much without fail, the little kid will get the world's most mischievous grin and go "I'm gonna use it for EVIL!!!"

Someone very prominent in the Catholic Tumblr community has me blocked, and it lowkey feels like I've been banished from the city square

Got a big ole bottle of olive oil off Amazon

Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.

Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.

[bear-disguised-as-a-human]

This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter

[prokopetz]

Well, yeah. That's why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:

It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn't turn out like her father;

Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and

The opposite of poetry is math.

Ada Lovelace's biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.

Reading the David McDuff translation of Brothers Karamazov and he keeps using the word Cenobite... bro stop making me think of Hellraiser

I know several people may find this to be some sort of scam, so I went digging for sources on this and found several that support the claims made in this screenshot.

Here are a few of them:

Footage of a Planned Parenthood manager offering advice on how to cover up bringing in people "illegally" from other countries as well as how to deal with pregnant girls fourteen and under

Footage of several undercover interviews revealing multiple clinic workers willing to help child sex traffickers

Interview with former Planned Parenthood manager Ramona Treviño on how the organization disgusted her with how it decided to deal with women experiencing abuse and/or sex trafficking

Report on video footage and interview with Ms. Treviño

Report on YouTube removing an investigative video exposing Planned Parenthood aiding and abetting the sex trafficking of young girls

Report on Planned Parenthood's failure to report child sex trafficking and Live Action's published investigation

Report on Planned Parenthood covering up sex trafficking, rape, child abuse, condoning racism, and how its founder, Margaret Sanger, supported eugenics

Sex trafficking of children is federal crime, as is obstructing or attempting to obstruct the enforcement of this law.

Live Action has a channel on YouTube. The channel has playlists on videos about interviews with former Planned Parenthood employees, undercover footage, investigations, and more.

If y'all want to dimiss all of the claims here because you don't trust the sites for being conservative sites/pro-life sites, I found a New York Times article of Planned Parenthood's response to the undercover videos: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/08/us/08parenthood.html?

(Use private browsering to get around the payroll if the site says you have run out of free articles)

PlannedParenthood did not deny the videos as being fake and said they would work on training all their staff on how to deal with child abuse/child trafficking. If these videos were fake PP would have denied these allegations and most likely would have sued LiveAction for slander. 

[speaktruthtoleftists]

PP didn't even bother to deny the charges.

Yup.

[bagheadautist]

Even if you’re pro Choice this org is shady as shit

[urbanfantasyinspiration]

Didn’t it start as a tool to eradicate black people?

OK so more drinking lore about me and my ex-boyfriend... one time he had a dream that we were at our favorite bar and I ordered a "Hot Chocolate for Girls..." which was hot chocolate with vodka, fireball, and some third kind of alcohol (maybe something insane like everclear, idk). We made it when he visited for the summer. It was... interesting.

OK I know the pickleback (shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice) is a joke drink, but... I actually really enjoyed it

[cowpokeredeemed]

Nah joke drinks are like the steak shot or a cement mixer. The Pickleback is an expert beverage

[thehairyclaire]

It was BONKERS how the whiskey made me tear up and feel nauseous but the pickle juice IMMEDIATELY neutralized it. Somebody engineered this

[gokusclit]

I hate how a woman having body hair is immediately seen as this like political statement or that she’s gnc or whatever like girl wtf it’s just the natural state of her being

Glad its "warring with the flesh" and "in Christ you are a new creation" and not "no, this is who you really are and always will be".

Made five-year-old me happy today by buying Zoopals at my local Walmart

Just perfected my matcha recipe... the secret is using 1/6 cup (40 ml) of canned unsweetened coconut milk and 200 ml of regular coconut milk. Yes, it adds a lot of fat but I do not care

[thehairyclaire]

Just made the most delicious soup to console myself in my illness but it only made two servings. Sad

[thehairyclaire]

Date tonight and I got a cold. Still gonna go
