Happy Pride!

rootbeergoddess

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out

These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.

This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.

The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.

The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.

Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.

Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.

These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.

Stay safe.

RapeAxe has a gofund me up that barely has 700 dollars. I feel like the inventions that havent even been funded yet should be linked to the page you can support them at.

girl who told me i smelled good in the mall bathroom in 2011: on my mind

genuinely friendly reminder

if you’re staring down that looming heat wave and you don’t have ac, or your ac can’t keep up:

put your feet in a tub of water.

just regular tapwater. if you don’t have a bucket or washtub you can use, run a few inches in the bathtub and pull up a chair to the side of it.

this got me through a summer in a sunbaked attic apartment with no AC, in minneapolis, where highs in the 90s are pretty much guaranteed for at least a couple weeks every summer. it was at LEAST 110 in that apartment every day of that hot stretch. i cannot overstate how much soaking your feet helps.

you can also fill a plant mister from the cold tap and mist yourself.

Another tip if you need just a quick, brief cooldown - run your wrists under cold water! This saved my ass working in a hot haunted house in the Midwest when summer decided to bugger off late some years. Also, plenty of popsicles!

jumpingjacktrash

oh yeah, rinsing your hands/wrists is a big help. i learned to just do that as a matter of habit while doing yardwork, even if i don’t feel too hot yet – just run the hose over my hands and forearms every so often in between tasks. turns lawnmowing from ‘guaranteed heatstroke’ to ‘pretty tolerable’.

oh, which reminds me – don’t wait until you’re Suffering to do cool-down things. drink before you’re panting from thirst. get into the shade before you feel sunburny. get ahead of it! prevention is the name of the game!

I have no idea. Let me see if anyone else in this ask place knows.

str0kethebigtree-deactivated202

telebisou

you're thinking of Jill Eikenberry; I think this guy was an astronaut of some kind

asingerofdreams

that's Neil Armstrong, I thought this guy was in How I Met Your Mother

neil-gaiman

That's Neil Patrick Harris. I think this might have been the playwright who wrote The Odd Couple.

merinnan

That’s Neil Simon. I think this is the musician who wrote Sweet Caroline.

hils79

That’s Neil Diamond. I think this is an astrophysicist

oneiriad

That’s Neil deGrasse Tyson. I think this is a river in Egypt.

omgpurplefattie

That's the Nile; I think this is the Irish guy who made the movies "The Crying Game" and "Interview with the Vampire".

stripedsweatergirl

No no no, that’s Neil Jordan. I think this is the English author who helped write Good Omens.

aphony-cree

You’re right! This is Terry Prachet’s tumblr. Good job everyone

cuddlydemons

Neil Gaiman actually was in Arthur.

ADHD time processing: today is Monday, but tomorrow is Tuesday and i have class, after that is wednesday I’m having lunch with my mom, then on Thursday i have a night class which means it’s basically already Friday and this week is already over

“right now it’s 2:30, which means it’s almost 3, which means it’s only an hour away from 4 which is basically 6–How have I stayed up all night??”

brainthings65-deactivated202008

…other people…don’t think like this??

ghost-cassette

Apparently they perceive time as a linear series of seconds, minutes, and hours which they can reliably partition off for planned and orderly activities?

goweninsane

Sounds fake, no one can do that. It’s impossible

YOU FOUND A GOOD ONE

HANG ON TO THAT DOCTOR

silverblaze85

I found a doctor like this… and I almost cried… my “bad” cholesterol was 2 points above “perfect”, otherwise 100% healthy on the tests, and she said “body size doesn’t indicate health. There are large people that are unhealthy, there are large people who are perfectly healthy. There are small people that are unhealthy, and there are small people who are perfectly healthy. Healthy isn’t a specific body size.” I love her.

#CALL HIM OUT

uss-edsall

When you’re an archaeologist with a set schedule, sometimes people really get to understand who you are

When I dug in France I always got a croissant at 0520 from the same exact place in Échemines. A week in, they had one lying on the counter for me by the time I walked in. By the second week I got the exact amount I’d pay in hand when I walked in, because they’d reliably have it ready. I made sure to tell the owners that I wasn’t returning on my last day of the dig.

uss-edsall

I may mention that every time I ordered in French. On my last day the owners gave me hugs and kindly told me to never speak in French again
