If you eat meat of any kind, you are not a vegetarian…some peolpe don’t get it.

the word you’re looking for is pescetarian

It’s called seaweed. Fish are seaweed fruit. How ELSE did you think they came from the water. I mean, if they were animals then how would they even BREATHE down there.
GOSH.

This is a secret between us.: Definition of "Friendzone"

youmustnottellasoul:

The Friendzone is a mythical land dreamed up by males with female friends they endeavor, unsuccessfully, to either date or sleep with. They fancy that by being “too nice”, they doom themselves to this terrible land for all of eternity, because - so the legend goes - this leads to girls…

The whole premise of “the friendzone” has always been something that pisses me off.

I love Kate Beaton’s work most of the time, but this particular comic and the responses I’ve seen to it get on my nerves quite a lot. Going to a gallery artist (especially if they’re older) with cartoony drawings and expecting feedback on how to get into fine art as a major is kind of like going to a comic artist with abstract expressionist paintings for feedback on how to get into a sequential art program. They’d probably be like, what are you even showing me here, how am I supposed to work with this??

In Victorian times, it was a common practice to photograph the dead, particularly at the end of the 19th century. Post-mortem photography was an inexpensive way for the lower classes to immortalize lost loved ones, especially children and infants. Childhood mortality rates were significantly high during the period, and post-mortem portraits were usually the only portraits a child would have. The corpses were usually posed into natural positions such as sitting in a chair or on a couch, and the eyes were opened to give the illusion of life. If the subject were an infant, the mother would often be photographed with the corpse, sometimes even holding the body in their arms. In some circumstances, the corpse’s eyes remained closed, and the corpse was lain in bed, as if they were in a deep sleep.
Disturbing fact: One way to tell who is alive and who isn’t in these photographs is by looking at the blur. People who are blurry are alive because it is hard to sit perfectly still for 5+ minutes (cameras then had quite a long exposure time), but the deceased’s image would come out perfectly clear.

This is why Tumblr gets on my nerves.

whoneedsfeminism:

Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot longer and deserve to be paid at a higher rate. Heck, I’m a working mom and I’m not paid a dime. I depend on my husband to provide for me and my family, as should most women… and if a woman…

This is not a real quote and I think it really emphasizes the fact that people do not check sources in this quick click, and reblog generation.  It’s also pitting “conservative women” against “liberal women” and vice versa when really the fight for women’s rights should be fought together.  Stop buying into all the stereotypes, it really is making things worse.

^What that person just said.

See. I love Tumblr. I do. But I hate it when Tumblr and the news mix. Because people -from both sides of the political spectrum - do stupid things like take parody news articles like this, and then start passing it off to everyone else as A Thing That Actually Happened in order to point fingers at Ohhhhh How Crazy Those Other Guys Are. Just because you think an article is really great and it warms your heart to see how awful the other side is/how awesome your side is, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check up on sources to see if a piece of news is legit before passing it forward as true. 

To relate what I’ve just said to this particular instance: I like to think that most Democrats, when presented with fake quotes attributed to Michelle Obama saying something like, “I hate white people; they are SO AWFUL”, most of them immediately check the validity of whatever sources that came from. And they’re right to do so. I’m sure they would also have disdain for Republicans who didn’t do the same and just started throwing such a quote around indiscriminately. And again: they’re right to feel such disdain. But that doesn’t mean it’s right to do the exact same thing, just because this time around it’s Ann Romney saying the fake crazy quotes. (And, come on, I’m sure there are enough things the Romneys ACTUALLY say that are offensive to plenty of people anyway. What do you need fake quotes for.)

My point here is not to defend Ann Romney, whom I couldn’t care less about. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I wish that if people are going to cite any article, fact, study, or statistic to make a point that really matters to them, they’d realize that it’s just as important to check the validity of sources that say things they like and agree with as it is to check the validity of sources that say things they hate or completely disagree with. Especially when the article or fact or statistic is sort of crazy and ridiculous. Because otherwise you could end up reblogging crocks of BS that other people will end up taking for granted as true.

“A pair of nature lovers have created these works of art by using a technique known as tree shaping. Green fingered grafters Peter Cook and Becky Northey spend years painstakingly guiding each tree’s growth along predetermined wired design pathways. From lifelike human creations complete with leaves as hair, to beautifully crafted tables and mirrors, the pair have trained more than 150 trees.”

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
