she replied with sources

[trap-dracula]

But where are the sources tho? Cause that’s something I’d read the fuck out of a scholarly article about.

[sjw-dipper]

it's literally linked in the caption

[the-gotheltic-rowan]

You know what’s interesting, designer Jessica Ray - the actress who played the white ranger in Power Rangers Wild Force - actually started an entire line of swimwear based around brain studies like this. She gave a presentation in 2013 on the history of bikinis, invented in 1946 in France by Louis Réard, a car mechanic who looked after his mother's lingerie boutique in Paris. He named them after Bikini Atoll, the place of atomic bomb testing that year because he thought the public’s reaction to the bikini would be like an atomic explosion (it was so scandalous at the time no french model would wear it and he had to hire a stripper to debut it). From her presentation:

Princeton University had conducted a study of how male brains react to seeing people in different amounts of clothing, and brains scans had revealed when men were shown pictures of scantily-clad women, the region of the brain associated with tools, such as screwdrivers and hammers, lit up. Some men showed zero brain activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that lights up when one ponders another’s thoughts, feelings, and intentions [...] researchers found this shocking because they almost never see this part of the brain shut down in this way, and a Princeton professor said “It’s as if they were reacting to these women as if they are not fully human; it’s consistent with the idea that they are responding to these photographs as if they were responding to objects, not people”.

(her full presentation here, it’s a very interesting watch, she refuses to wear bikinis anymore)

She designs swimsuits now with Audrey Hepburn as her inspiration

i like how in the tiktok, she still is too worried/scared to call out men, so she says “really sexist men”, when this effect is found in all men in the studies, regardless of their conscious views of women.

hey, generally speaking i am pro-pirating but there is post going around with a free version of Maus by Art Spiegelman on a google doc and i am genuinely asking you all to not reblog it. Art Spiegelman is still alive. he still makes money off of Maus. and what is being monetized is his generational trauma as the son of a holocaust survivor. please either buy Maus or get it from the library (libraries also benefit the author and when more people request or check out a book it communicates to the library that they need more copies). pirating Maus is very different than pirating a marvel movie or reading a google doc of a book no longer in print. please use critical thinking.

i dont like most engl fan chants but these two are hilarious

[zsnes]

bill gates is directly responsible for the delta variant lol

[zsnes]

by preventing non western countries from producing generic versions of the covid vaccine and instead forcing these countries to fight over a limited amount of doses he allowed a large outbreak of the disease in india which mutated the virus to be especially virulent. its literally the gates variant.

[zsnes]

of course bill gates wasnt the sole decision maker behind the vaccine patents, but hes the most visible and the most vocal. there were a lot of parts in the scheme but ultimately the decision to keep other countries from producing a generic vaccine was a deliberate choice to maintain a pharmaceutical monopoly which has had incredibly harmful ramifications

[aleatoryw]

!!!!! in many cases he WAS the sole decision maker, many public health organizations get large amounts of money from him so if their board goes against his individual wants, they could lose all their funding. he uses his "charity" as leverage to get his way and his way is capitalistic pestilence

Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.

[fail-sage]

also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)

If the site is particularly badly designed, you might just be able to delete the overlay itself. Right click > Inspect element and delete the line of HTML (it’ll be highlighted automatically)

[woodentempest]

hey kids there is a website called outline.com that will let you read from pretty much any news site with a paywall for free

[runcibility]

outline.com is amazing - it hasn’t failed yet on any site that I’ve tried it on.

There’s a chrome extension and firefox extension.

[venusologist]

All of these resources are incredible but don’t forget how fucked it is that we have to do this.

The rich are getting more rich tho

[annieisyourfavourite]

his name was Josh Wilkerson and it’s important to point out that he died while taking Reli-On, the common “Walmart Insulin” you see people constantly pushing as a cheaper alternative.

so if you ever see people suggesting this, or god forbid you feel like doing it yourself, i want you to look up this story and remember Josh Wilkerson, and realize that the solution HAS to be bigger and more systemic than that

an important update

[theoldreligions]

CPD just killed a fifteen year old child.

[theoldreligions]

a fifteen year old black girl was shot four times in the chest by columbus police in columbus, ohio.

as derek chauvin was found guilty, a black child lost her life to police.

we still don’t know her name, but we’ll scream it the minute we do.

[theoldreligions]

“well that can’t be worse”

except it is.

except this child got jumped by the other girls present. she was afraid for her life enough to grab a knife and call the cops herself.

let me repeat that.

the black child that they killed was so afraid she called the cops herself.

they killed the very person who asked for their help.

and before you flip over the knife, they didn’t even ask her to disarm. they got out and immediately opened fire on her and shot her four times with deadly intent.

[theoldreligions]

did y’all think i was kidding.

One dead in officer-involved shooting in east Columbus

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Columbus Police said one person was killed in an officer-involved shooting on the east side of the city Tuesday afternoon.

[theoldreligions]

her name is ma’khia bryant.

i’m such a small blog but i’m begging y’all to spread this story. i can’t speak directly to this- no matter how hurt and angry and thrown by all of this i am, my voice isn’t the one that matters. i recognize that. but i’m still begging for this to not be overlooked. say her name, remember her- remember that this fight never ended, and keep fighting it.

derek chauvin being found guilty is a victory, but we can’t let that blind us to the fact that this has kept happening and never actually stopped. even if the protests went quiet, that doesn’t mean things changed. we have to hold them accountable and we have to remember those who have died and will continue to die beneath the shadow of everything else that’s happened this year.

my heart is going out to her family.

rest in peace, ma’khia.

they’re shutting down yahoo answers in a month….future generations will never know how is babby formed…..they will never plumb the depths of digital knowledge asking “does spider have pusspuss?”……they will never know if they can name their band radiohead 2……..this is the modern burning of the library of alexandria. all those answers lost forever……RIP 

[kieren-fucking-walker]

If you genuinely want to keep hold of yahoo answers things (and you should because documenting history is important even if it’s not history yet, and yes even the internet has history) then here’s a link of how to archive web pages to the wayback machine. I know this is a joke post, but honestly it’s important stuff! There’s no way we’ll get every yahoo answers page out there archived in time, but if you have one that helped you, or even just made you laugh, go archive it! Save it from destruction! I promise a future internet historian will thank you, yes even for the pointless but hilarious ones (perhaps those most of all, researching is tedious work.)

I’m gonna flex on other English majors by referring to Lady Macbeth as “Macbeth” and to Macbeth as “Mr. Macbeth”

[kimreesesdaughter]

I don’t have food stamps but I need to know how to eat well for $4/day. Thank you for this.

[dustspeck-deactivated20190423]

HOLY SHIT 

[scum2000]

This cookbook is really amazing. I’ve used a couple of the recipes and they are so easy to follow. And in the beginning there are a bunch of really great tips for saving on food stuff.

[queerdo-mcjewface]

Here is a working link for the cookbook.
