I always thought the “but satisfaction brought him back” part was a joke from the Munsters.

Here’s another one: “Jack of all trades, master of none,” is just one half of the saying. The other half reads “but better than a master of one.”

Okay one more: “Ignorance is bliss” is also only half of the saying. It’s “When ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise.”

I found another, this quote started during the 14th century as “heels over head”, which is more literally accurate than “head over heels” which is how it’s commonly misquoted now.

Edit: Found more details here, professor is Sydney Engelberg of Hebrew University, Jerusalem

Bringing a baby to class is so completely disrespectful of the other students who are spending thousands of dollars to go to school only to have their learning disrupted by the most horrible sound on earth. This woman is incredibly selfish.

are you kidding me? this woman needs an education too, especially since she now has a child to take care of. yes, she brought her baby to class, but do you honestly think she would have done that if she had any other option? she’s not being selfish, she’s trying to simultaneously get an education while raising a baby. and just as a side note, “other students who are spending thousands of dollars” yeah she’s a student too meaning she’s also spending those thousands of dollars.

as a student, i would much rather my fellow classmates brought their kids with them than miss an important class. a child is nothing compared to all the other distractions in a classroom, i s2g. half of the time, i see more than 50% of my fellow classmates on their phones or laptops instead of paying attention to a prof (and i’m guilty of being one of them) so why in the hell is a baby more “disrupting” than someone playing candy crush?? and she was going to leave when the child started geetting restless but the prof CHOSE to help her out so she could stay. THAT IS AWESOME!!!

i went to school with my mom when she was in college all the time. i sat in lit classes, chinese history, etc. granted, i was like 8 or 9 at the time and played pokemon all the way through but having a kid should NOT prevent any parent from getting their education and i’m glad to see this prof take it in stride and recognize that student parents are under SO MUCH PRESSURE to get through school and handle their family at the same time. 

I remember seeing preschool age kids sitting in on my classes because the nontraditional students couldn’t get babysitters on days the preK or daycare was closed.  One time I shared my colored pencils with a little girl.  Profs never said a word about it when it happened–except one who cracked a joke about watching his language on that day.  I’d rather work with the single mom or dad who has to bring a kid to a study session than a fratboi dudebro who just wants to copy all my notes any damn day.   (True story.)

Had my first student bring in her children this semester. I let her know that it was no problem and that she could bring them in any time. 

Being a mom is hard. Being a mom and going to school full time is even harder I bet. The least I can do is help them out.

Tomorrow, California will vote on a bill that would require crisis pregnancy centers to tell women the truth about their reproductive health options. One politician asked why a lawmaker cared so much about the bill, and her response is PERFECT.

brow extensions

Okay but do you realize how good this is for cancer patients?? People with scars who can’t grow brows??? People with alopecia??? (Sp? ) like… pls stop hating the beauty industry.

people with trichotillomania

Yes to people with trich. One of my roommates reblogged this saying they didn’t even know they made these until they met me. And the sad thing is, I didn’t even know they made these until I did a Google search one night in a fit of desperation. I’ve gone to so many therapists for trich, and instead of providing me resources like this, they would often leverage the fear of looking ugly as motivation to stop. If anything, it only ever made the problem worse.

These save me so much time in the morning. Before I discovered them, I would have to meticulously pencil my brows on every day just to feel normal enough to leave the house. By contrast, I can keep the fake ones on for about three days at a time, and gluing them in place takes only a few minutes with a bit of practice.

I’ve been getting mine from headcovers.com for over three years now. They’re a bit pricier than the ones offered on other sites, but they last 3-4 months if taken care of properly (meaning to buy the site’s adhesive remover as well and clean them after each use). They also look very natural. Everyone who’s talked to me about them told me they didn’t even know my eyebrows were fake until I alluded to such or took them off in their presence.

This sounds like it could be quite useful for some of my readers!!

of course something ignorant was said about this product by the original tweet poster, but reblogging for the false eyebrow site^^
really thinking about purchasing some.

Going bald during chemo didn’t bother me nearly as much as losing my brows. I’m not sure if it was because I had adorable wigs or just because I was prepared for that part, but nobody tells you how much the color, thickness, and shape of your brows affects your face.

My hair falls out like no other thanks to lupus. My eyebrows and eyelashes fall out more than a healthy person’s so this is super cool. I could totally see myself using this to help the areas where my eyebrows are too thin! Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

ALSO they make a version of this for your eyelashes! They’re called eyelash extensions! I can’t use fake eyelashes because I’m too afraid that it would pull them out so it’s a great alternative.

“but the guy said he didn’t do it!” literally all rapists say this, what else is he gonna fucking say. next. “but she got all that attention!” and you would prefer she what, quietly suffered and maybe killed herself in silence like so many rape victims do? next. “but she got school credit so she totally had a reason to lie!” if you think that a few credits in exchange for making herself vulnerable to mass smear campaigns and people calling for her death and for her to be raped AGAIN etc is something that makes sense to any human being you are just willfully obtuse, next. “women lie about rape all the time!” you’re a fucking rape apologist and a misogynist if you believe this despite the overwhelming evidence that it is not true. next.

Legendary Dragons Hand Painted on Gemstones by

Alvia Alcedo

If you were born in the Year of the Dragon , you are familiar with the various types such as water, wood, fire, earth and metal dragons. But sunrise and flower dragons may not ring a bell, unless you play online games DragonVale, Dragon Cave and Dragon City which present numerous winged creatures. There are a lot more dragons out there and a cult following for them. Artist Alvia Alcedo happens to be familiar with the new ones in existence, and has painted many on agate and jasper stones

30 was never a life expectancy, historically

bantarleton:

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.
