1) they expensive bruh 2) none of us kno the dif btwn a fucking diamond and some fancy ass glass ur capitalist rock hierarchy has no control over us

3) mostly mined with slave labor

4) we get excited when our date buys us an appetizer, we don’t even comprehend people buying us rocks that would force us into debt for ten years

5) Diamonds aren’t even that rare, the market is just controlled by a monopoly that creates a false shortage to drive up the price

6) there are prettier rocks

I keep wanting to read ‘Adult’ books, but Young Adult lit is constantly stepping up their game, with diverse characters, lush world building, intriguing and complex plots and genre experiments, and adult lit is all ‘Feeling unfulfilled with nice job better go back home and get to the bottom of a small town scandal from 20 years ago and maybe get in a love triangle?’ Also we’re all white and attractive and don’t listen to music.

President Obama offered to pay for Vice President Biden’s son’s cancer
treatment after finding out Biden was considering selling his house to
pay for it. That’s really kind but… holy shit. If the *Vice President*
has to *sell his house* to pay for healthcare, what chance do regular
Americans have? How is anyone still alive in that country?? Australia,
do not do anything to creep in the direction of America’s healthcare
system. Keep Medicare free. Including frikking pap smears.

I sourced this and oh wow it’s true

Summer Saints series - Patron Saint of the Beach Body

This saint will bless your sunscreen, giving you divine reflection of UV rays and remind you to reapply throughout the day. Ask them to lead you not into dehydration but deliver you to water and shade. They will protect you from those who think preparing your body for the beach involves anything else.

Hey everyone. If you or someone you know are in a relationship where there is pressure to not use birth control or condoms here is some information about that can help.

Coercive reproduction is when someone puts pressure, threatens violence, acts in way that makes you feel afraid, calls you names, and or with holds resources or tempers with birth control or refuses to wear condoms.

It’s not okay for any one to make decisions for you and your body. Healthy, loving relationships don’t hurt and they definitely don’t make you make decisions out of fear.

Holy fuck… toxic heterosexuality at its best.

“if your partner is abusive, just get a UTI!” 

fuck fuck fuc fuck. 

GET A-OUT OF A-THERE ASAP!!!!

no. he will not change. it is not your fault. it is not better for the kids you already have to stay. nobody will judge you. Save yourself. Call the police. this is illegal in most countries.

I’m reblogging this from you directly because I want you to read this since I truly believe that you want what’s best for women in these situations but, coming from someone who grew up in a house with DV and who volunteers at a domestic violence shelter, what you’re saying right now is victim blaming. 

This pamphlet is offering an alternative birth control that is not easily tampered with for women who are unable to escape an abusive relationship. Which is, frankly, most women in an abusive relationship. 

Victims of domestic violence have heard this before. “GET A-OUT OF A-THERE ASAP!!!!” is such useless advice. I know you have good intentions but did you also know that chances of being murdered increase 75% when the victim tries to leave her abuser? Did you know that on average a woman will try to leave her batterer seven times before she can successfully leave for good? Or that abusers oftentimes ensure that their victim is completely financially dependent on them so they can’t escape? Then that they isolate their victims from their friends and families so means of escape become even more difficult?

Did you know that abusers intentionally tamper with a woman’s birth control in order to ensure that they have a child together because they know that that will give them another pawn to manipulate? That they can threaten to call CPS on the mother if she tries to leave? Or talks to her family? Or calls the police? That abusers are more likely to seek custody of their children than non-abusive parents and that they’re granted that custody 70% of the time? Not because they love the child, of course, but because they want to continue to torment their victim for daring to leave them. 

Did you also know that cops are twice as likely to be batterers than the general population?

If you really want to help a victim of DV you can do so by volunteering or donating to you local shelter. You can also actively try to change the narrative so people are no longer uselessly blaming victims for being in their situation.

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”

my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”
