By November, the tines of my deepest thoughts will be “in Velvet.” And I, the mother of nothing, mother
of nothing at all, will spook, be
loving still, but just the same, the same.Lucie Brock Broido (via smakkabagms) -

Stupid is timeless.
I’m that lady who’s just FEELING it
tbh cables were like that and safety precautions weren’t hard set in yet



Oh wow this is horrifying
Holy shit
first I was gonna reblog for the electroskelachnid and then I was going to reblog for the lady who’s just like “mm yeah electrocute me in ur web mommy” and now I’m reblogging for the beautiful nightmare that used to be power lines
Seems like a pretty accurate metaphor for telecommunications tower regs to me.

And life goes on. Rolling up and down, moving left and right. Never straight ahead, nature abhors a straight line, that’s not what we’re made for. We’re made for adventure, and adaptation, and becoming. Life goes on, with or without us, because of or in spite of us, and there is so much of it, and it is so dark and so beautiful and bright too, too bright to look at. The flowers bloom and die, the birds sing, the trees spread their branches and then fall and feed the dying earth. And we’ll leave it, oh we’ll leave it, and doesn’t that just cut and slice? But oh the joy of having been here.

we have GOT to stop glorifying the ‘mystery’ of jack the ripper. he was just another violent psychopath targeting vulnerable women in a society that had already written them off.
there are numberless men like that throughout history and I’m tired of us turning them into legends
I’ll bite, what’s the chum bucket theory?
it’s from this Non-adventures of Wonderella comic!





So this is exactly what New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern did after Christchurch. She refused to say the killer’s name and everyone else followed and now nobody remembers or knows who it was.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Understands Democracy Better Than Republicans Do
“This is a Republic, not a Democracy,” Welch said in conclusion, “Let’s keep it that way!”
These origins are important. If there’s substance behind “We’re a republic, not a democracy,” it’s not as a description of American government. There’s really no difference, in the present, between a “republic” and a “democracy”: Both connote systems of representation in which sovereignty and authority derive from the public at large.
The point of the slogan isn’t to describe who we are, but to claim and co-opt the founding for right-wing politics — to naturalize political inequality and make it the proper order of things. What lies behind that quip, in other words, is an impulse against democratic representation. It is part and parcel of the drive to make American government a closed domain for a select, privileged few.

Believe in yourself. You have the ability and clarity of mind to pursue your dreams, and make them into a reality. Align yourself with an outlook of confidence. Know that there is nothing unobtainable to the one who is determined.
