some facts

-the stigma against vaginas in our society is rooted in misogyny

-laws that try to restrict and control vaginal health are also rooted in misogyny

-not everyone that has a vagina is a woman

-not all women have vaginas

-there are trans women with vaginas

-there are trans men with penises

none of these statements have any reason to contradict each other 

Time for another! Tell me how you would interpret these three cards. There are no wrong answers!

1. you have a choice. you make the right choice, because both are good options anyway.

2. you're going through it, and the experience will serve as armor for what's to come.

3. in the end you'll be left with answers. and it will have been so obvious, and you'll be so happy to have taken the journey.

very funny to imagine the prehistoric women depicted in "venus figurines" being told they are "morbidly obese" by modern physicians. listen to me neolithic matriarch. you are fat. hunting wild game and knapping flint axes and walking 4 miles a day is not enough exercise. you have prediabetes and need to eat under 1500kcal or you will die. tsk tsk. your sleep hygiene is bad. you look at the fire too much at bedtime

[Original post reads: My employer told me I can’t miss work for jury duty. Do they have to accommodate my schedule?

I saw a similar situation while serving as a part of a jury pool. When we were asked about reasons we may not be able to serve a young woman told the judge that her boss [had] told her that if she missed work for jury duty she would be fired. The judge immediately call the presiding sheriff in the courtroom and handed him a bench warrant. The boss was arrested that afternoon and spent the night in jail. He was then brought before the judge for contempt and was dressed down in front of the whole courtroom. He told the young woman and the boss that if there were any repercussions from this boss or anyone else in the company over this matter, they would serve 30 days in jail.]

Yes, I have a framed photograph of Carie Fisher in my home reminding me to take my meds everyday. Don’t you?

Oh crap, MY MEDS!

Always reblog your daily reminder from Carrie Fisher to take your meds

if Candice has a picture phone why did she never just take a photo of what phineas and ferb were doing and text it to her mom

if she did this doofenshmirtz would just be like you see perry the platypus i sold my old computer at the pawn shop but i forgot to delete all those embarrassing photos from the christmas party, which is why i’ve invented the pixel-replacinator! and then as candace is going to text her mom the photo the phone gets hit with the beam and she looks down and she’s just texted her mom a photo of doofenshmirtz in a sexy elf costume or smth. candace can never fucking win the universe bends to facilitate her psychological torment

who are you when you are not watching tv or movies? when you aren't playing video games or reading a book or fanfiction or listening to music or whatever other kind of media that you engage with? who are you when your mind isn't in another world or story, when you are forced to sit with yourself and the only experience you have is your own sensorial life? can you define yourself outside of what you consume? who is that person? do you like them? can you bear it? can you bear it?

i am not asking if you can sit completely still and do absolutely nothing. are the only options a) consuming media or b) doing nothing? what lies outside of that? if you were to create space for a version of you outside of that, who might that be?

i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

One of those anime-style spells of fuck your shit up where the verbal component is a long monologue that name-drops a specific demon, except it goes into a weirdly personal level of detail regarding the relationship between the invoker and the demon.

[id: three comments comments from the user continuing the same scenario.

[the first one reads, "I cast the seventh spell of entrapment and agony upon my adversary! I call upon you, Yogthauth, fifteenth warden of Hell, master of hopelessness, and"

[the second one continues, "Scorcher of blood, you who have bedded me once in the night and none more, the demon floating in my mind as something less than an ex but more than a one night stand, an object of my ambiguous affections, you who have broken up with me for reasons neither of us truly understand, the hellish being who has refused to speak with me ever again by way of regret and subtle hatred! Yogthauth, with your disturbed mind and beautiful body which I will never forget in my life,"

[the third one finishes with, "(giant hand crushes the enemy and imprisons them in a crystal of blood) (Booming voice echoes from below) You knwo if you wanted to talk about it you could have just called me". end id]

I've had an ongoing science project for a few years now that I'd like to share. I've been leaving raw chicken breasts—real cheap, unregulated shit from the local mom-and-pop grocery store—out on my counter long enough for E. coli bacteria to develop. Then I microwave the chicken breasts and try to produce genetic mutations in the bacteria of each batch through microwave radiation, just in short bursts of 45 seconds per "rep" and maybe 3 "reps" per "set". The bacteria that do survive get fresh, raw chicken mixed into their feed and left to rest at room temperature for a few more days to grow. Then I just rinse and repeat until I see weird shit under the microscope. Sometimes I don't even need a microscope! Pic related, the fuzzy red mound is the modified E. coli (more obvious under a microscope). It's one of my most successful batches, a relative newcomer at only ten generations. I don't really microwave it any more because I'm pretty happy with it. This batch actually still has chicken inside, it's just completely covered in the bacteria "fur". Each bacterium is about a quarter the length and width of an eyelash. They aren't as quick at eating the chicken breasts as some of my other batches. I'm not sure how it happens, but between the actual chicken and the bacteria layer is some nasty chicken glob, like they slowly dissolve it or something. But this batch is definitely my "ambassador species" since it's pretty flashy with its beautiful maroon color and marimo-like appeal, and it doesn't make me sick too much. Anyone else doing something similar?

Youtube music is free.

If you're already happy with Spotify or whatever else it's cool but everyone else I need you to know that you can go on music.youtube.com (or install the app) and you don't actually need youtube premium to use it. It's just a different interface and if you don't have an ad blocker it has ads.

I'm not sure which has more ads between YT music and spotify but it's worth trying out. Especially because it has the official release stuff but it also has the entirety of the youtube videos marked as music. That means you can listen to that obscure song from a band that never released a CD.
