caide and peyaâs first nest is finally here, and theyâre absolutely stunning! all three dragons come with a custom poem in their bio, and can be found on the ah for 300g each.
Samson was âa museum installation consisting of a 100-ton jack connected to a gear box and a turnstile. The 100-ton jack pushes two large timbers against the bearing walls of the museum. Each visitor to the museum must pass through the turnstile in order to see the exhibition. Each input on the turnstile ever so slightly expands the jack, and ultimately if enough people visit the exhibition, Samson could theoretically destroy the building.â
Artists are absolutely wild
Thatâs absolutely hilarious ngl
Bet the museum employees are secretly winding it back each night, like Penelope unraveling her dayâs weaving
where are you getting your stats? what source of information brought you to this conclusion? none I assume, but I would love for you to prove me wrong.
Itâs literally a hyper link to the study
âChamberlain and his team found that although overall divorce rates of couples with one seriously ill spouse were comparable to the general divorce rate in the US, there was a marked difference depending on which partner had received the diagnosis. In cases where the husband became seriously ill, divorce rates were actually far lower than average at three per cent. However, a staggering 21 per cent of wives who had been diagnosed with serious illness ended up separated or divorced within the same time frame.
In fact, Chamberlainâs study revealed that in ninety per cent of post-diagnosis divorce cases, the wife was the sick party. The researchers suggested that a possible explanation for this striking difference could be that men find it harder to take on a care-giving role.â
WHAT THE FUCK!?!? this is goddamn horrifying.
âFind it harder to take on a care-giving role.âÂ
Bullshit.
They donât want the burden of a sick wife who wonât be taking care of them. Like good âol âsanctity of marriageâ Newt Gingrich divorcing his wife who developed cancer.Â
I always want to point out that not abandoning your wife is the lowest possible bar, and husbands who donât do it are unfortunately not necessarily supportive beyond this bare minimumâI once read a blog article by a guy who volunteered at a breast cancer resource centre (he was their first male volunteer, ever) and who wrote, about the boutique where the women tried on wigs:
Many clients came in with female family members or friends. These clients only came in with female family members or friends. During my two years at the center, I never once saw a client go into the boutique with a husband or male relative. I asked the staff about it. One manager said, âSame as the volunteers: guys wonât go near the wigs. Guys are wimps.â Sometimes a woman would come in for a wig⊠nervous, uncomfortableâŠand sheâd get help from me or the staff, total strangers⊠and you could see her husband out in the parking lot⊠sitting in the car, listening to the radio; they couldnât even come inside.
Iâm also reminded of that study on organ donation rates across Europe, that found that among married hetero couples, 36% of women who could donate a kidney to their husband did so, while only 6.5% of clinically suitable men donate a kidney to their wives.
Twilight AU where Bella is rightly Creeped the Fuck Out by Edward rather than intrigued by him and, hoping to defuse the situation before it becomes a Thing, decides to talk to his âsisterâ about his behavior
What Bella knows about the fallout: Rosalie is out of school for a couple of days, and upon returning gives Bella a thumbs up from across the lunch room but offers no further explanation. Edward is absent from school for a couple of weeks, even when the rest of the Cullens are all there, and then carefully gives her space from then on out.
What Bella does not know about the fallout: Rosalie âRapist Eaterâ Hale tore her surrogate brotherâs arm off at the shoulder and beat him around the head with it while yelling âDonât Stalk Girlsâ until Emmet and Jasper pulled her off of him and made her give the arm back.
black teenage su fans, for the last year: this episode contained a human zoo which was pretty upsetting to see, i donât think that it was very well thought out by the creators. I would like to see some more thoughtful storytelling from a show about love and with such a diverse cast.
Rape is the only crime on the books for which arguing that the temptation to commit it was too clear and obvious to resist is treated as a defence. For every other crime, we call that a confession.
Iâve gotten more angry asks about this post than I have actual reblogs.
I literally put my coffee down, stared at the screen and said âHoly shitâŠâ
