Never underestimate the power of glitter.

Asexual, Gray-Aromantic, Monachopsist, easily obsessed about things, multiy-fandom but my favorites will always be Supernatural & LOST & POI !!!! Current obsessions: The Blacklist, POI, AHS... Most of the time I'm quite depressed but all those fictional characters i admire always saving me. Finally found a way to make GIFs I don´t hate so let the "giffing" begin!!!!! English is not my native language, so there will be mistakes, I´m sorry but I hope they will be forgiven. Feel free to correct me:) I do my best! Please don't exclude me because of it. ~~~+~

Forgotten By History

Female firefighters at Pearl Harbor (1941).

Donna Tobias - the first woman to graduate from the US Navy’s Deep Sea Diving School in 1975.

Brave women of the Red Cross hitting the beach at Normandy.

Dottie Kamenshek was called the best player in women’s baseball and was once recruited to play for a men’s professional team.

Kate Warne - Private Detective. Born in New York City, almost nothing is known of her prior to 1856 when, as a young widow, she answered an employment advertisement placed by Alan Pinkerton. She was one of four new agents the Pinkerton Detective Agency hired that year and proved to be a natural, taking to undercover work easily. She had taken part in embezzlement and railroad security cases when in 1861 the Pinkertons developed the first lead about an anti-Lincoln conspiracy.

Catherine Leroy, female photographer in Vietnam.

The three women pictured in this incredible photograph from 1885 – Anandibai Joshi of India, Keiko Okami of Japan, and Sabat Islambouli of Syria – each became the first licensed female doctors in their respective countries. The three were students at the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania; one of the only places in the world at the time where women could study medicine.

Female Samurai Warrior - Onno-Bugeisha - Female warrior belonging to the Japanese upper class. Many women engaged in battle, commonly alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war.

One of the most feared of all London street gangs from the late 1880’s was a group of female toughs known as the Clockwork Oranges. They woulde later inspire Anthony burgess’ most notorious novel. Their main Rivals were the All-female “the Forty Elephants” gang.

Maureen Dunlop de Popp, Pioneering female pilot who flew Spitfires during Second World War. She joined the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in 1942 and became one of a small group of female pilots who were trained to fly 38 types of aircraft.

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon. The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.

Women have always participated in fighting; whether that is in war or in breaking down barriers that have been set in front of us by society. 

Take inspiration from our foremothers and continue breaking down barriers, wherever you are.

Okay, that thing in the woods? Maybe it’s a monster, maybe it’s a pissed off giraffe, I don’t know! The fact that no one is even looking for us? Yeah, that’s weird, but I just go along with it; because I’m along for the ride, good old fun time Hurley! Well, guess what? Now, I want some friggin’ answers!

People are helping premature babies by crocheting tiny octopuses. The tentacles are thought to mimic the feel of an umbilical cord, and babies who cuddle an octo are less likely to pull out their monitors and tubes. 

When hospitals that participate in the Octo Project noted an increase in the overall health of their preemies, volunteers around the world began flooding them with donations.

When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.

[toothyblowjob]

there’s not really much discussion of child neglect on here so i guess i have to do it

p l e a s e don’t shame neglect survivors for not knowing “basic” things like how to eat a balanced diet, when to go to the doctor, how to drive, etc. you know these things (usually) because a caring adult taught them to you. we didn’t have that. we often enter adulthood knowing jack shit about how to take care of ourselves. we know we’re missing information, and we feel so fucking lost.

it’s okay to, if you have a friend who’s experienced neglect, try and help them learn how to take care of themselves. saying things like “hey, do you think you could try to eat at least one vegetable per day?” or “that infection looks pretty bad, do you want to go to a doctor?” is genuinely helpful. but belittling us for not already knowing these things is completely unproductive and unnecessarily cruel.

don’t be a dick to survivors.

Remember CW President Mark Pedowitz said in January he liked Wayward Sisters and “thought it worked” & that it was fan support that would determine that future. 

So let’s show him that fan support! Email him at  [email protected]

Petition text:

"As you may know, unfortunately the highly anticipated "Supernatural" spin-off "Wayward Sisters" wasn't picked up by The CW channel. This show wasn't just a TV show to many people, it was inspiration. Six strong female characters of different ages, backgrounds and ethnicities, who would want that? These women are role models to so many people.

This petition has been created to try and get The CW to consider their decision, so please, if you want to see this show on our screens, sign this petition.

Thank you"

Current count of signs: over 41000 (14.05)

If you want the show to continue sign the petition maybe it helps😊

Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.

For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!

The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!

If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!

I’m literally crying right now. I will be able to use my hands!!! As it stands I can’t do dishes, hold things, write, hold books, type, without pain or dislocation. Oh my gosh. This is a miracle.

those are gorgeous and that is amazing how well they’re working! signal boost!

[murderouswaterhorse]

I love these things. I use one for my thumb because due to arthritis I have very little strength/support in the joint and therefore often can’t do anything. My splint makes it possible for me to do my job, do the shit i need to do and not have as bad of pain. 

[lancrebitch]

these are so cool

omg the first ehlers danlos post I’ve seen, this makes me happy!

[whenitsd0ne]

I didn't know about this Syndrome but this looks like a perfect and elegant way to make their lifes easier.

I'm so happy everytime I read about something like this because I know there are people out there who suffer but got a help though it and feel better because of it.

[sixpenceeeblog]

Life lessons I’m learning in my 20s: Communicate your feelings. If something feels wrong tell them. If something makes you feel off, tell them. Don’t bottle it up. You don’t deserve to feel that way and your feelings are valid. Those who matter will understand and adjust their behavior.

[whenitsd0ne]

Someone told that to me a few weeks ago and I just thought about that 5 minutes ago
