Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out

These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.

This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.

The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.

The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.

Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.

Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.

These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.

Stay safe.

ok, those are all kind of awesome. i wish they weren’t needed, bit still…awesome solutions.

I feel more comfortable reblogging this version

RapeAxe has a gofund me up that barely has 700 dollars. I feel like the inventions that havent even been funded yet should be linked to the page you can support them at.

babylonqaf

RapeAxe- website which links their gofundme

leaper182

As of this reblog, Rape-aXe needs to raise $308,537. If you can’t help fund it, please reblog?

The fact that these are needed scares me so much. These shouldn’t have to be a necessity. It’s so sad

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends

blueandbluer

I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.

Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.”

Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant

Why lovers can’t be friends.

When you break up with a person, you don’t lose just one person. You lose a lot. You lose a lot of things, a lot of people. They take away the moments you spent with them. They take away that time you put in to build that kind of life. They take away friends -their friends whom you had started liking and some who had become good friends. They take away those songs you used to listen when you were together. Those lanes where you used to walk. Those movies you watched with them. And the ones which you didn’t but were going to. They take away the person you had become when you were with them. Your identity you had associated yourself with. You were theirs for so long- being someone else’s was a part of your identity. They take away those small things you had saved- now you have no use of the ticket from your first movie or the gift wrappers you managed to save. They take away those smiles you smiled when someone teased you with their name. They take away those Facebook tags and photos and status updates which are now meaningless. They take away those tears, because you will never cry for the same things again, not for another person. And with all this they take themselves away making sure that you hate some of the things you loved including them. - Ridhima Shukla

Oh i love this concept!

amateurlanguager

I love it too! I love it mostly because it makes me feel less overwhelmed. When you break it down like this, everything seems so much more manageable. Like, hey, I could memorize 20 words at a time (even if ‘at a time’ varies wildly for me), and just do that like ten times. That’s a HUGE chunk of a language.

(And since I have the habit of doing languages that are similar to ones I’m already familiar with, the grammar part usually comes pretty easy, too.)

I thought maybe it would help me get over you if I saw other guys

but

The moment he complimented me

all i wanted was the words to come out of your mouth instead.

The moment he touched my skin

all I wanted was for him to be you.

The moment he kissed my cheek

all I wanted was for you to kiss me instead.

The moment I woke up in his bed with his arms around me

I thought back to when I woke up in your bed after staying up until 3am together and waking up with your arm around me and head tucked on my shoulder, hearing your quiet snores every few seconds.

-All I want is you back
