“We need more complex female characters”

YALL COULDNT HANDLE HER

It’s crazy that her character flaw is thinking that if she ever expresses a negative emotion everyone will dislike her and yall immediately proved her right. Goddamn.

it seems like the key theme of fungus is that they eat everything including things otherwise impossible to eat, they get everywhere with their tiny spores, and they grow and be happy wherever it is wet by eating the surroundings. So if get inside your body (wet) they eat you. so your two main options for being a multicellular organism are developing an immune system (most animals) or hiring other fungus to beat the shit out of the fungus that gets inside your body (most plants)

Tenskwatawa taught that Americans were created by a different god from Native people. This malevolent spirit had shaped white people from the foam of the great ocean, where an enormous and apocalyptic crab hid beneath the waves to carry out its evil designs. Only by living in love with one another, living in the old ways, could Native people drive back the land-hungry Americans and restore peace to the world. Not since the days of Pontiac and Neolin had such a reformation been so profoundly preached and so widely accepted. Within a year, word about the new prophet was spreading from Florida to the Great Lakes. Tenskwatawa's apocalyptic vision was attracting scores of followers from many Native nations throughout the border regions with the United States[...].

--

It was during this time of burgeoning growth that the territorial governor, the Prophet's nemesis, William Henry Harrison, sought to discredit him once and for all. "If he is really a prophet," Harrison wrote in an open letter to Native people, "ask him to cause the sun to stand still--the moon to alter its course--the rivers to cease to flow--or the dead to rise from their graves. If he does these things then believe that he has been sent from God." Much to Harrison's surprise, Tenskwatawa accepted his challenge. He invited all his followers at a small village in June of that year so they could see the miracle for themselves. The faithful gathered on that date, and while the Prophet remained within his lodge, they suddenly witnessed a "black sun": a total eclipse. Just at the darkest moment of the eclipse the Prophet emerged, to the acclaim of his followers. What actually happened that day--whether it was an apocalyptic sign or just a natural event--is open to interpretation, but the fact remains that the Prophet stole his accused thunder. Perhaps Tenskwatawa was better versed in the scientific literature of his day and knew of the impending eclipse when the governor did not. We will never know.

English has different words for mouse and rat but in Chinese they're both the same creature (laoshu) so I asked my mom well how do you differentiate between mice and rats. She, clearly having never felt the need to do so, was like uhh big laoshu and little laoshu I guess. Then I went online to see how the difference between (the English words) "mouse" and "rat" was being explained to CN->EN learners and there are numerous articles delving deep into the analysis. Bigger vs smaller, indoors vs outdoors, cute and favorable connotations vs evil and ugly, tail length, fear factor, emphasis on the fact that you cannot call it a "computer rat." Much thought is being expended on this little mystery of the English language

seeing people say shit like “i wish i as born gay” or “i wish i was born a different gender” makes me s o sad bc ill bet you dimes to dollars that person is on the lgbt spectrum but because of ingrained phobias and the way media portrays people like us, it feels like an insurmountable implausibility, when its really not. if you wish you were gay, or trans, or whatever, then like, maybe you should give the introspection a chance. compulsive heteronormativity is real and it can truly make you believe youre cis and straight and that you never need to think more into it than that.

Five words have made a huge -- a HUGE -- impact on my confidence when it comes to wearing clothes I actually like.

"They already know you're fat."

I've always worn clothes with the intent of hiding away the truth of my body -- the rolls, the belly, stretch marks and jiggly thighs. But realizing that this is a fruitless endeavor has honestly given me such a (tenuous) sense of freedom with my clothes.

To my larger friends:

if you're worried about what others will think of your clothing choices, just remember:

They already know you're fat.

They will learn that you're hot, too.
