A Clitoris is actually an undeveloped penis; since we all, at some point, are both male and female in the uterus, before the dominate gene takes over, the penis on a female and a male is actually the same. And once the dominate gene takes over for a male, the clit actually develops into a penis, so technically, when a girl says: suck my dick… I guess it’s kinda politically correct…

That’s also why guys have nipples. 

wow i actually didn’t know that

Lol when I took gender studies in high school our teacher told us this and every guy in the room looked terrified

Basic mammalian biology.

I thought this was common knowledge? O.o well, passing it on to educate others :)

Actually female is the default genetic setting so penises are just giant grotesque clitorises.

I need help

I desperately need help to either fix my current car or get a new one altogether. A wonderful friend has been letting me borrow hers in the meantime, but she needs it back next week and I won’t have any way to get to work. I have thousands of dollars in hospital bills and I don’t have the money to dump into a car.

There’s virtually no mass transit and I work 20 miles away from where I live. Please, if you can help me at all, go to my paypal (jackson.kelly.a@gmail.com). And if you can’t help, please boost this. I have to have transport to get to work, and I have to work to be able to somehow figure out how to pay for transport.

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

I really need help, guys. I’m terrified that I won’t have any means of transportation and I can’t afford to lose my job.

I’ve gotten a bit of help and I’m so very thankful for it. Every little bit helps. Please continue to share this. My friend needs her car back on Monday, so that’s how long I have to figure this out. 5 days.

Monday’s now 3 days away and I don’t have enough money for even a down payment on a used car. Please, please, PLEASE share this and help if you can.

josh duggar molested girls (including his sisters) from 2001-2005 and his parents knew about it and so did the church and local law enforcement

and he’s out there, never been punished, and has the fucking nerve to say that gay marriage is this country’s greatest threat. 

Okay see I keep seeing people reblog this asking for receipts so here you go.

Also, the original post was just a rant that I didn’t expect to get so much attention so let me explain in further detail so you know what’s going on. Here’s what we know for sure:

  • Josh Duggar molested 5 girls, starting in 2002
  • After the first girl came forward, Josh Duggar admitted it to his parents who “disciplined him themselves”
  • After the second girl came forward, the Duggar family notified their church who allegedly sent him to a “Christian Counseling Program”
  • Michelle later claimed this never happened and his was just sent to live with a family member for four months.
  • After more accusations in 2003, Jim Bob Duggar and some church elders took Josh Duggar to the police station for a “stern talking to” from a state trooper.
  • Said state trooper was later convicted himself for child pornography charges
  • In 2006, the Duggar family was to be interviewed by Oprah who heard about the situation, causing a full blown police investigation to occur and the family lawyered up (it should be noted several lawyers went all “fuck no” to the case and wanted no part of it).
  • The statute of limitations has since expired, leaving Josh Duggar free from conviction.

Here’s just some in general horrifying information:

  • His wife fucking knew about the whole time and has now put their children in danger. 
  • His parents fucking knew about the whole time and put their children in danger
  • His church fucking knew about and put the public in danger

I’m disgusted get these disgusting people off tv

a 90’s kid? don’t you mean sad adult?

70,000 people have reblogged this but no one is trying to defend themselves

There is nothing to defend

#i read a post once that described 90s kids as the generation of nostalgia #because so much technological advancement happened in such a rapid timeframe when we were growing up #that we can clearly remember having technologies that are now obsolete #like going from a corded hugeass phone to a small computer in your pocket just within our formative years is a major thing #and it sparks a nostalgia for our seemly ‘simpler’ childhoods #because so much rapid development makes it seem like it was a lot longer ago than it actually was (x)

also we grew up in an era of booming economies and promised an adulthood of prosperity and endless opportunity such that if only we got good grades and went to college we would spend the rest of our lives enjoying life in the future.

and then the economy crashed and the jobs disappeared and we’re all tens of thousands of dollars in debt and either unemployed or working undercompensated overtime trying to keep jobs that don’t quite cover the necessities after we’ve made our student loan payments and the idea of affording a house or a marriage or kids is some giant bitter joke.

If we’re sad, it’s on the same line as that old saying about how if they really want to punish you, they don’t just send you to Hell, they give you a tour of Heaven first.

myloveisdrivenbyrage:

Today at Easter dinner, one of my dad’s friends, who I haven’t seen since I was a kid, came up behind me while we were taking pictures and pinched my butt. So I turned to him and said quietly (because I didn’t feel like making a scene) that he was not allowed to touch me that way because it was inappropriate and he laughed in my fucking face and said “Oh, right cause you’re a liberal.” And so I said to him, in the loudest voice possible, that no, it was because I was a fucking human being and my body is mine alone and no one can touch me without my complete consent and if he ever even thought of pinching my butt again, I would punch him in the face. And the whole party was staring at us and you could see how uncomfortable he was even though he tried to laugh it off, and then my dad told him to leave. So, girls, boys, and everything in between, if anyone EVER touches you without your consent in a sexual manner, CALL THEM OUT. Let everyone around you know what they did and tell them to never do it again. Don’t laugh or smile or even frown it off, then walk away (unless it endangers your safety.) Expose them for what they are.

If you ever trip and fall in public, get up, laugh to yourself, and say to anyone looking: “Sorry, it’s just been so long since I’ve inhabited a body.” 

I did that once. Fell over and saw a guy staring at me. Got up and wandered past him muttering “too many legs, this body has too many legs, must fix that in the next phase”   Look on his face was fucking priceless.

rocky horror is the worst and is also transmisogynistic can we please finally get over this shit movie

ok but like the writer is transgender nonbinary and the language used in the play was the preferred language by trans people of that time can we not deny parts of our history because we’ve evolved since then thanks

So fucking much this.

PS, youth of today: you’ll be saying the same damn thing about art from this time before too long, for good or for ill. Terminology will, in fact, change. Definitions will, in fact, shift. It always does, they always do. 

PPS, it is pretty much impossible to overstate how life-alteringly important this movie was to kids who didn’t conform to standard expectations of gender and sexuality, back in the day. Especially when back in the day was the mid-to-late 1980s, when the only queers you saw on TV were neutered AIDS tragedies, Bowie was playing straight, and even Elton John was married to a woman, and midnight showing of RHPS were pretty much the only place that felt like home. It was mental life raft for a lot of people.

I was one of them.

Thank you.

Wait, why did my school teach me that Poe was like a creepy pedophile who was obsessed with his cousin if they were actually just friends and he married her to provide for her family?

For the same reason the safe money says your school, like mine, taught you he was probably a drug addict who hated everybody and had no friends and drank himself to death. 

Because by some wacky mix-up, somehow the right to legally execute Poe’s literary estate and therefore the public image he carried following his death was transferred to a dude who openly and without shame hated Edgar Allan Poe. 

Due to some legal mumbo-jumbo and trickery, this dude Rufus Wilmot Griswold somehow managed to get the rights of literary executor to Poe’s estate from his aunt (which she didn’t technically have the power to give, that power remained with Poe’s sister), and he and Edgar Allan Poe hated each other SO MUCH in life, that after he died, this asshole published a memoir of Poe’s life in which he was totally demonized. 

Rufus Wilmot Griswold is one of the most successful character assassins of all time. Because of him, schoolchildren are taught that Poe was a depraved misanthropic lecher who lusted after his underage cousin, was never sober, and died of drinking too much even though all of those “facts” have been discredited. Poe was a shy and reserved, though generally personable, man who married his cousin so to establish legal guardianship and provide for her financially. 

He was also apparently a total lightweight who got tipsy after a few sips of wine, but occasionally drank socially or when feeling particularly down. His doctor insisted there were never traces of opium in his system. Poe’s friends insisted that he was not an alcoholic. At the time of his death, he had quit drinking, and the idea that he was one was heavily promoted by other members of the Temperance movement who claimed his death was a relapse as a cautionary tale. The most commonly accepted theory as to Poe’s death is that he was abducted, drugged, and beaten by political agents who forced him to vote for their candidate, changed his clothes, and then forced him to vote again and again to stuff the ballots. 

Anyhow. This is why you should evaluate the validity and agendas of your sources.

I’d love to watch a tv show about the Greek gods. Not a documentary, but a legitimate television show with plot-line and character development as they portrayed every classic myth side-by-side the ones we hardly know of. And maybe with a few jokes here and there, so I could tune in every Tuesday to watch Zeus destroy the world with his penis and all of the other god’s flipping out trying to save it.

30 was never a life expectancy, historically

bantarleton:

bloodedcelt:

heroineimages:

Three years ago after I turned thirty, I remember some wise-ass asking me how it felt to know that I’d outlived most people from the Middle Ages. To which I replied, “technically, I did that when I turned two years old.” The statistic that people from the Middle Ages and Ancient Era only lived to be around 30 is grossly misrepresented, and I feel like more effort needs to be put into fixing that misunderstanding, because far too many historical, cultural, and sociological theories are based around it.

While technically it’s a true statistic, what’s so rarely brought up is the fact that the reason for this was the very high infant mortality rate among past cultures globally. When two-thirds of the global human population dies before their first birthday, it tends to skew the life-expectancy averages southwards. Any cursory historical research will turn up dozens of figures who lived into their 50s, 60s, or 70s, and even many slaves, peasants, and laborers who had shorter life expectancies tended to live well into their 40s. I mean, Caesar was 56 and still kicking ass when he was assassinated, Charlemagne was in his late 60s, Alexander the Great was almost 33 and every text ever written about him says that he died young. I hate it when something gets accepted as common knowledge without proper context, and I hope if nothing else this post gets a few people to rethink their understanding of what they know about history.

Psalm 90:10

Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Most of the Psalms date to Solomon’s reign, which was around 3000 years ago; the more recent are from the Babylonian Captivity which was around 2500 years ago.  While many died much younger of disease or infections (not to mention war and murder) people even in the Bronze age lived a good long time if they made it past age 5 or so.

Just tacking this on as another common one, I’m not sure about medieval times but in the 17th century the average age people got married at was actually a year or so OLDER than the average western age today.

like why are slytherins refered to as being ‘edgy bad chicks/guys’ and ‘sex gods/goddesses’ when it’s their house, of all four houses, that values traditionalism?

why are hufflepuffs described as relaxed hippies who prefer to chill and eat cookies all day when their house is the one that values hard work?

why do people think ravenclaws are stuck-up and boring bookish nerds when literally the only personality traits you have to possess to be a ravenclaw are creativity, wit, wisdom, acceptance, originality, intelligence and individuality?

why are gryffindors depicted as brash, rude rulebreakers when chivalry is so important to them?

pinstripehourglass:

Has anyone else tired of the grim realism “anyone can die” thing in television? There is a point, I believe, at which character death and violence ceases to become meaningful or even provocative, and just becomes senseless.

Killing off important characters, when you first do it, is daring. It takes tremendous artistic and creative confidence to believe that your audience will keep watching. But when such deaths become the defining part of a series, what does that tell us? Not to commit to anyone. That the story we’re watching is pointless, because the characters’ lives are ultimately meaningless.

I’m tired of nihilism in 2015. I am no longer shocked; I am merely bored.

Besides that, it’s never even true. Most things that brag “anyone can die” have characters wearing obvious plot armor. (I’ve been surprised a few times when a person who seems to wear plot armor dies, but most of the time I can correctly pick who’s in no danger of dying.)

If Goldilocks tried three beds, then Momma Bear and Daddy Bear slept separately. Baby Bear is probably the only thing keeping the family together.

You ain’t have to put those people business out like that.

Y’know, the story straight-up tells us why Mama Bear and Papa Bear sleep in separate beds: they have very different needs in terms of mattress firmness, and those fancy responsive mattresses that can be soft on one half and firm on the other hadn’t been invented yet. There’s no shame in valuing your spinal health.

The fact that they’re secure enough to admit that they’re better off in separate beds probably indicates that they have a very healthy relationship built on a foundation of mutual love and respect.
