The trope of the “crazy” girlfriend is so prevalent and joked about now that girls getting into relationships are so worried about seeming imposing that they do not speak out about things that make them uncomfortable and are forced to let their boyfriends emotionally manipulate them into normalizing otherwise inappropriate behavior. They do not speak up and then are faced with dealing with an uncomfortable situation for so long, which can really affect their self esteem and emotional health. “Jokes” aren’t always jokes, especially at the expense of women. They are usually integrated into people’s thinking to the extent that they truly affect people’s opinions of women and the way they see them.

[feminist-hufflepuff]

I think this is related to how many young women are afraid to speak up about things that upset them lest they be labeled a ‘nag’ for having her partner ‘whipped’. Even if she’s speaking up about a legitimate issue that genuinely upsets her, women are so often painted as being dramatic over nothing that it causes us to keep everything shoved down until it explodes, simply because we aren’t allowed to say “This bothers me.” without a negative response.

PSA to my French followers or anyone in Paris right now

There is currently several shootings in the streets of Paris, in the Xth and XIth districts. There is already victims, 18 persons has been killed.

So please, if you are in Paris right now: stay home.

For more infos, you can read the news here, apparently we don’t know yet the why and the who.

Latest news is that 60 people have been killed

[vigilantehearts]

At least six shootings took place in Paris and three explosions took place at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

At least 60 have been killed, and there’s currently a massive hostage situation with DOZENS being held captive by gunmen at the Bataclan Concert Hall, with numerous reports of screams and gunfire being heard coming from the inside.

France is CLOSING ITS BORDERS and has entered a STATE OF EMERGENCY as ordered by the French President Francois Hollande in an address to the nation. THIS HAS BEEN DECLARED A TERRORIST ATTACK.

This is huge. And, THIS IS STILL GOING ON AS I TYPE THIS. Please, pass this on, stay updated. My heart goes out to the people of Paris.

Layering technique for vibrant greens, using Dr Ph. Martin’s Hydrus liquid watercolours. 3 colours used - Turquoise Blue, Hansa Yellow Medium and Blue Aqua :)

[djlegz]

fuck me yes.

[heda-creampuff-blog]

When I saw this all I could think about is how you can basically use this technique with any primary colors. You want a purple color, okay lets layer some reds and blues. You like orange? Alright lets layer some reds and yellows. Generally this is a really great technique and I will deff be experimenting with this in the future.

Some people seem to be confused about Bernie Sanders and the label “democratic socialist.” Luckily for them, Sanders is going to explain the term and its principles in a big way.

Ah, I see this picture on my dash with no back-story:

This is “The Door to Hell” in Turkmenistan. It’s been burning for like decades. It’s a real thing on this planet at this very moment.

Ah, Sundays. Those days I spend sitting around, reading recipes I should definitely cook but that would require me leaving the apartment to go grocery shopping.

1. Do not kill bees, they aren’t trying to hurt you and rarely sting (because they die if they sting) chances are they’re buzzing around you because you’re wearing a bright colour and they think you’re a flower

2. If you see one on the ground, it’s probably not dead, try feeding it some sugar water or put it on a flower so it can get energy

3. Put bee friendly flowers in your garden so they have lots of pollen and maybe put a bee house too

4. If you have a bees nest in your attic/garden/shed etc, don’t call an exterminator! Call a bee keeper instead so they can be rehomed rather than being killed

Bees are very important and must be looked after! Without bees, humans wouldn’t survive

Lawrence Malstaf - Shrink, 1995

“Two large, transparent plastic sheets and a device that gradually sucks the air out from between them leave the body (in this case the artist himself) vacuum-packed and vertically suspended. The transparent tube inserted between the two surfaces allows the person inside the installation to regulate the flow of air. As a result of the increasing pressure between the plastic sheets, the surface of the packed body gradually freezes into multiple micro-folds. For the duration of the performance the person inside moves slowly and changes positions, which vary from an almost embryonic position to one resembling a crucified body.”
