the queens in her deathbed freaking the fuck out over the ghost of princess Dianne with a steering wheel lodged in her head pointing at her from the foot of her bed and going "REVENGE" and nobody else in the room can see this

"... “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.

“It’s the 11th hour in terms of Earth breakdown, and I feel terrified for my kids, and terrified for humanity,” Kalmus continued. “World leaders are still expanding the fossil fuel industry as fast as they can, but this is insane. The science clearly indicates that everything we hold dear is at risk, including even civilization itself and the wonderful, beautiful, cosmically precious life on this planet. I actually don’t get how any scientist who understands this could possibly stay on the sidelines at this point.” ..."

ancient greek word of the day: φαλλοβάτης, “one who ceremonially climbs atop a phallus;” hence, dick priest

actually the context of this is really good so i’m gonna tell you guys about it

it’s a word used only once, in lucian’s on the syrian goddess, section 29, to describe a ceremony involving the colossal phalloi of dionysus in syria. the ceremony goes as such:

This is wild. This is Roman-ruled pagan Syria, you say?  Lucian was dead by AD 180, I think.  

Because Syria is the center of the Stylites’ movement a few hundred years later: the monastic group within Christianity who sat atop pillars and built themselves little houses at the tops of giant columns, and never came down but let down baskets for their necessities and lived on donations.  St. Simon Stylites is probably the most famous of them, there’s also a St. Nicholas Stylites I think, and a bunch of others. 

Which means that the Phallobates must have simply moved over from shouting at the gods to preaching in Jesus’s name.  An entire style and system of spiritual practice probably just … changed which god(s) they worshipped, once they saw that the crowds were following a different kind of belief.  Gotta keep filling those baskets on ropes.

Plus, living atop columns like that, they must have been impressive, sitting on their giant phalluses for way longer than seven days.  

Rocket and I looked this up and I am compelled to add that the dick-pillars were unimaginably tall

these dick-priests are climbing up EIGHTEEN-STORY DICKS

no fuckin SHIT they want to stay up there for a week before attempting to climb back down, that sounds fucking EXHAUSTING

for scale

very important question for all of my greek myth buffs out there: who has fatter tits, aphrodite or dionysus? asking for a friend

i've been practicing my gaslighting but my gatekeeping honestly needs work. my girlbossing can wait

if your gatekeeping isnt naturally good you clearly arent supposed to be part of this community :/

what "community?" there isn't a community you're just making things up again

i’m walkin home but there was a baseball game tonight and i got sucked into a group of guys who were pretty drunk and one of them proclaimed his love for his friend then goes “i know it doesn’t make sense but there’s a random person walking with us and i love them just as much” and everyone was like hey don’t listen to him he’s just drunk but i was like “wait no takebacks” and drunk guy was like “no. i’d never take it back. i love you”

was apparently looking androgynous enough tonight to make a group of drunk guys commit to gender neutral language

THE ONLY GREEK GOD TWINK IS HERMES, APOLLO IS ON THE HUNKIER SIDE OF TWUNK AT BEST. DIONYSUS IS THE GOD OF FEASTING AND ORGIES AND PARTYING DUDE LOOKS LIKE JACK BLACK. HES GOT MEAT. HES GOT CHUB. STOP LYING TO YOURSELF.

How to talk to children

This is based on decades of experience as an uncle and as an older brother.

When I worked at the before and after school program, I had all elementary school ages and this list is perfectly defined how to talk to kids.

One thing I want to add is: let kids just play. Let them use their imagination. If they’re running too fast but they think they’re sonic the hedgehog, just tell them “be a slower sonic so you don’t fall down.”

Note…you will probibly screw this up, but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying. 

Also just because they’re old enough to play by themselves doesn’t mean they should have to every single minute of the day. You can play with your child. Regardless of what some parents think, children cannot and should not play by themselves quietly for hours on end.

This stunts emotional growth along with creative and imaginative growth. Being tired after going to work or after being busy all day is not an excuse to shove your child off and tell them “ not now” . When you really can’t play, sit down and explain calmly why. But nine times out of 10 you can play and you just won’t.

It’s not your child’s fault that you had them. Don’t punish them because you’re unwilling.

Reblogging again for this addition.

are you telling me they’re making a Cruella movie and she’s not even a MILF??

this is the most valid criticism i’ve seen on the cruella de vil tag so far

This ADHD and Autism Venn Diagram was requested even more highly than the ADHD and PTSD diagram, and I finally got round to making it…

I’m so glad this helped!! If anyone has anything else like this that they’d like me to make, then send an ask! I might not be able to help, but I’d like to try!

And yeah, I do have a Paypal; you’re so sweet! I’ll link it here.

If you're in Texas and you're trying to stay warm during the power outages, here's some tips from an Illinoisan currently living in Texas. Obviously battery powered heaters or heated blankets can be great, as is a fire in a fireplace. But if those aren't options for you, try:

1. You can use tape around the edges of doors and windows to prevent drafts, or use towels or blankets to stuff around it. We currently have blankets taped up covering our doors and towels taped over most of our windows. Avoid going into rooms with an outside wall or multiple/large windows, they're going to be colder.

2. If you're getting power back every now and then, fill a sock about 2/3 full with rice, lentils, or dry beans, stick it in the microwave for about 30 seconds at a time, checking to see when it's nice and warm. Then put it at your feet under a blanket.

3. If you have a gas stove, boil a pot of water. You can make tea or soup with it, but even just boiling water will help warm and humidify the home a little. Good for avoiding nosebleeds.

4. Set all your faucets to drip. Moving water in the pipes keeps them from freezing, which is good because you don't want them to burst.

5. Got a significant other? Kids? Pets? Cuddle them. Never underestimate how much it helps to have another warm body sharing a blanket with you.

6. Do NOT drink alcohol. Yes, it makes you feel nice and warm. It also causes you to LOSE body heat.

7. Move around! Even just bicycling your legs will get your blood flowing, which will help warm you up. Then you can go right back to bundling up.

Signal boost this if you can, texas has dangerously low temperatures (single digits Fahrenheit and lower) and people are without power or heat all over the state.

I dont really like making rebloggable posts but I haven’t seen anyone mention them yet: terracotta heaters are really easy and effective DYI heaters for cold emergencies and I think it might be helpful considering, you know

TDLR, place a candle of any size down, and put a terracotta pot (as large as possible preferably) over it, with something non-flammable and balanced to keep the bottom an inch or two off the ground, like bricks. 

The candle will heat the terracotta, which will put off heat, while the space underneath lets smoke out and oxygen in. I’ve used these all 3 times we had outages here in Maine during blizzards to keep my aquariums warm, the weather outside had been easily -20 F with high winds, and not only was I cozy, that shit kept the water 10 degrees above room temperature. If it can heat the aquariums, it’ll heat a small room.

They work so much better than you’d think, the heat they put off is insane. Obviously be careful because smoke and open flame, but they’re very easy to make and just need an eye kept on them on all times.

 Don’t touch the heated pot bare-handed, it’ll burn like a motherfucker, they get VERY hot. Use thick oven mitts or layered rags to remove pot, put the candle out first if you can manage. Don’t do more than one or two in a non-ventilated or closed room, it’s still making smoke and that can make it harder to breathe.

[ID: Two bricks are laid flat, two bricks are stacked on top on their sides. A candle is in a jar inbetween and is lit. A large terracotta pot is balanced on the second, higher set of bricks so it is above the candle and off the ground. End Id]
