Reasons straight girls need to stop calling their female friends “girlfriends”:
– The word “friend” already exists and is gender neutral you don’t need another word for friends of the same gender
– I’m gay and confused
– That’s it
“I m gay and confused” is probably my new life motto
Once a co-worker of mine confused the crap out of me by asking how my girlfriend was and I’m like “….fine?” and then she’s like “oh so is she home from the hospital?” I realized she was taking about my friend who was in a car accident a week earlier.
Stop confusing the gays. We’re sad enough already.
I love that feeling I get when it’s about to rain and the wind is rising and there’s some sort of peace in that. I swear I can hear the plants whispering
just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog
oh hey!! I’m not a janky radfem I can do it myself!
makeup culture is wack and normalizes a ludicrously high bar as the bare minimum women can do. I saw a “lazy"makeup tutorial the other day that listed 22 separate goddamn products. you’re supposed to buy and know how to use 22 different things on your face just for the privilege of being considered lazy and that’s uuuuuuh what’s the word? bullshit.
Really, five products could work, even 3. Just frame the face, eyes, lips, and you’re done.
0 products also works great
because I’m gonna be real here, the idea that 22 products is a minimum sucks but it’s really upsetting that any amount of makeup is the bare minimum at all
I would really just suggest some powder foundation, concealer, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick, or tbh just mascara works too, but that’s up to you
I’m sorry if I didn’t express this clearly enough in the original post but I’m not really looking for more concise makeup regiments. my intention was to point out how it’s Bad that makeup is considered a bare minimum at all, regardless of individual feelings on the matter
I work in the beauty industry. Makeup is almost considered basic hygenine in society and it’s very /very/ strange.
I’m a lash stylist, so all I do is apply eyelash extensions to women all day. The reason most of my clients get them is because “I just don’t wanna put mascara on lol”
They’ll pay 200, 300, hell I’ve seen some lash stylists charge up to 500 for lashes. All cuz something simple like mascara can be seen as /part/ of the bare minimum for women
The beauty industry is fucking worth BILLIONS and it is built up on making ppl feel like they “need” it
Enjoying makeup, or the beauty industry in general isn’t bad. But there is a lot of sketchy advertising and shit in it. It’s important to call it out and recognize it.
He is white. Guaranteed he won’t be terminated from his job like he
should be & the female being groped has dark skin so she will be
seen In the wrong because of her skin color. This is sexual harassment on nation tv
people are disgusting
The fact a female is also justifying it, is horrible
What in the actual fuck? Mel B has been through too much to deal with this non sense
Fuck this, man
If a woman doesn’t want you to touch her, DON’T TOUCH HER.
If a man doesn’t want you to touch him, DON’T TOUCH HIM.
Got it? Great, we’re done.
This is such a basic concept yet people don’t understand this
I can’t believe some people are shaming her for “embarrassing” him by simply exerting a boundary.
I wish she’d grabbed his hand and wrenched his fingers backwards.
I second what @justonepurpose said. It’s a simple action but it’ll hurt the fucker and it’s unlikely you’ll be charged for assault unless you break them. (And it’s not at all difficult to stop bending before you break something, speaking as someone who was trained to do this in jiu jitsu classes for several years.)
Madagascar, Tsingy. These knife-like limestone formations stretch over 70 meters into the air. Known as The Forest Of Knives, these razor-sharp limestone points can slice through equipment and flesh easily, which makes traversing them extremely difficult and dangerous, some climbers have been known to get through over 15 pairs of boots! It is estimated that the Tsingy has the largest underground cave system in the world and many animals live among the endless maze of disorienting corridors, humid caves, and unforgiving razors at the ground level.

WHOA!!!
Yeah it’s pretty sweet and for anyone who is about to ask, it’s a Sifaka lemur!
Tsingy is formed by mildly acidic rainwater dissolving into the softer strata of limestone from above, and carved it out from underneath, eroding the solid rock both vertically and horizontally, and wearing it away on every surface to a sponge-like, porous honeycomb of limestone cells.
So many of you are probably thinking “Wow I’d love to go and climb around it” and yeah I don’t blame you, it looks amazing. The Tsingy are located in the ANKARA geographic park.
However it’s also incredibly dangerous, due to the fact that those spires are literally razor-sharp. Seriously, most of the park is completely unexplored because it’s so dangerous and you will burn through shoes like anything. It’s not something to just have a walk around, it’s genuinely a feat.
GEEZ!!! That’s amazing!! Is it because it’s porous/spongy that it can support those large overhangs? Also, I assume that the tops of the ridges are sharp, but is it also razor sharp down the sides where it’s porous?
I imagine it has something to do with it as well as lucky balance.
In Malagasy (the native language), the word tsingy means “where one cannot walk barefoot.”
Tsingy formations started about 200 million years ago when a bed of porous limestone was deposited in a lagoon. Over time the land was lifted up and sea levels began to fall as well which exposed the limestone bed that had been protected under the salt water of the lagoon. After it was exposed, fresh ground water started the chemical erosion process that formed caves about 1.8 million years ago.
The calcium carbonate in limestone dissolves easily in the presence of water so the fault lines from the plate tectonic uplift were the first to erode and begin this amazing transformation.
I’ll be honest though, that’s about the full extent of my knowledge when it comes to the Tsingy. They’re cool as fuck though!
