This is realllllllllly weird lmao
This is really NORMAL.
Except we never see it-so it is terrifying and uncomfortable when it happens.
(Mostly because people would laugh or be unkind)I own a sex shop. Once a woman bled on our chair during an interview. She was horrified and felt ashamed because it was in some way unprofessional. We weren’t bothered. We said ‘what better place to work on being ok with your body than at a feminist sex shop?’
Bleeding is normal and dealing with it is one of the most pervasive ways women are complicit in their silence.Some men bleed too. How would you react to that? For many men who are Trans the act of bleeding is a security threat.
Fuck off with your lolz.
Reblogging again for above commentary ^^^^^
I adore this series.
This weirdly makes me feel better about my life.

I’m sure everyone has heard about the great Lake Baikal, and if you haven’t, boy, are you missing out.
This ancient lake, which is about 25 million years old, and thought to be the oldest in the world, contains 20% of the world’s unfrozen fresh water. That’s right, it contains just 1% less fresh water than all the Great Lakes combined,while it’s surface area is over 7 times smaller.
Why is that, you ask? It’s because Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world: It’s maximum depth is 1642 meters, which is deep enough for the Eiffel Tower to stand on itself 5 times and not reach the surface.
But it gets better: the Lake Baikal is among the clearest lakes of the world, so you can see the bottom to a depth of nearly 40 meters, and you can drink right from it, no purifying needed. Furthermore, Lake Baikal sustains 2630 different species of animals and plants, 80% of which are unique to it, and can’t be found anywhere else.
Oh, and by the way? Under both the lake and it’s underwater sediment some of Earth’s tallest mountains(plural!) are submerged, their height over 7000 meters.
Lake Baikal is perhaps one of the world’s most amazing, awe-inspiring, and unique locations, and I would seriously recommend everybody who has some free time on their hands to discover more on their own.
P.S. Have I mentioned that when it freezes (fully, whoa!) it’s ice looks like this? And you can listen to some beautiful sounds you can make with it here!
Look, it’s my favorite geological feature on Earth!
I’m slightly obsessed with Lake Baikal. This rift lake out in the middle of an otherwise riftless plain (whereas the other great rift lakes are clustered together, breaking continents into pieces); it’s clear because it’s so well-mixed and -aerated, where most rift lakes are stratified; it’s basically a big old well, unreliant on river inflow.
It also has seals! And no one knows how the hell they got there, given that Lake Baikal is several hundred miles inland.

I love how potato in French is pomme de terre, which pretty much means “earth apple.”
like what stupid frenchman saw this:
and said “zis petite légume looks like a, how you say, APPLE! hmmm… but it grows in ze earth… HON HON HON! MAIS OUI! C’EST UNE POMME DE TERRE!”
j’adore comment ananas se dit pineapple en anglais, ce qui veut littéralement dire “pomme de pin”, genre quel type anglais a vu ça:
et s’est dit : “ow cette étrange big fruit ressemble à une, how do you say, POMME! hmmm… mais plutôt une pomme qui pousse dans les pins… HU HU HU! OH YES, IT’S A PINEAPPLE!”
(z’avez vu, on peut le faire aussi… hon hon hon!)

You can choose what kind of tree you want to become
Idk I just find this beautiful
just imagine cemeteries looking like this
a forest of living, changing, beautiful trees. I think a tombstone holds much more finality in…
I cannot be the only person who thinks that that fucking packaging is *terrible* for this purpose. I sure as hell don’t want to be putting my loved ones to rest in some tacky-ass first year graphic design soda cup, even if I do like the idea of, you know, trees.

Click here to find a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe perfect for your own noms.
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite thing to bake. Super easy and delish.
This is the recipe I use:
Preheat your oven to 350 F / 180 C
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, or by greasing & flouring.
Mix together 1 cup of plain flour + 1/2 teaspoon baking soda + 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mash 6 tablespoons of butter at room temperature with a fork. Add 2/3 cup of white sugar + 1 tablespoon golden syrup (alternatively, 1/3 cup white sugar + 1/3 cup brown sugar) and mix — it doesn’t have to be smooth, just get the butter and sugar sort of lumpily mixed together. Break a large egg into the mixture and keep stirring. When that starts to come together, add 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract + 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (cardamom and chocolate is the best). Stir until you have a sticky, lumpy mess.
Add the flour mixture, and mix until you have a relatively consistent dough. It may still have some small lumps of butter in — that’s okay.
Fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate chopped into chip-sized pieces. Don’t overmix — you just want to distribute the chips evenly in the dough.
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter on your cookie sheet, evenly spaced. Flatten each down in the middle. Larger balls of dough = bigger, chewier cookies, smaller ones = smaller, crispier cookies.
Bake for about 10 minutes. Cookies are done when they are an even golden shade, starting to brown on the sides.
Let them cool down for about ten minutes before you eat one.
Makes roughly vaguely a dozen cookies. If you don’t eat half of the raw dough, which is what I usually end up doing.
(EATING RAW DOUGH IS BAD SALMONELLA, ETC.)

I can’t find it anywhere in my device manager, and it has all of my january-april photos on it, and I only have low-res versions backed up to the web, SO BASICALLY ARGH I WOULD KIND OF LIKE THIS FIXED
Commensurate rewards of love will be given to anyone who can help me with this, because ARGH NOT GOOD NOT NOT NOT GOOD AT ALL.
