Help Izzy?

Hi! I’m Izzy. If you’ve been following my blog, you might know that last September I was hit by a van while out biking. I was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery to reconstruct my knee. Unfortunately, despite the surgery, my knee will never be the same, and the driver that hit me was found legally at fault. I even had to withdraw from school for the semester. A settlement is in the works, but we don’t know when we’ll see money from that- at least a year off. 

So in the meantime my family and I have been carrying the financial and emotional burden. Due to this, I no longer can afford the living costs that come with going to school in Virginia- rent, money, and supplies. I’m currently applying to get a job that will support me while I go to art school, but with no luck. 

The basics of it is I need to raise at least $300 to cover the month of May’s rent, and another $200 so I (and my two cats!) can eat. Hopefully this will get me until I can find a job. If I don’t raise this money by the end of April, I will be unable to keep my apartment,

If you could kick a few dollars my way that would be greatly appreciated! You can donate here.

“Good guy with a gun” is NRA fan fiction. It’s disingenuous. It’s a farce. It is used to sell more guns.

Anyway, if you read marriage certificates from church records, a full 85% of first marriages for young women were around 18-19 years old. The rest skewed higher, into the early twenties, with only a few being below that age and only one in a thousand was younger than 16. 

The age of puberty has declined over the centuries as girls get better nutrition, as well, so throughout the middle ages the age at which a girl could expect her first period was around 16, where modern girls often get it much younger. 

The idea that women in earlier ages were married and mothers in their early teens is a myth. Marriages of children were usually only between noble families, and made for political reasons, or creepy old bastards who wanted a child-wife and could get away with it because they were rich and powerful. They often would point to the fact that the Roman elite did the same thing as justification. The Romans, of course, would point to the Greeks doing the same thing as justification, the Greeks pointed at the Assyrians, and so on back through the ages. 

It was considered disgusting by normal people then and still is. 

This myth is still brought out and touted by sick fuckers. Know it for what it is; a falsehood.
