So for those who aren’t aware, there seems to be quite the symbolism behind the totem pole outside of the Shack:
Typically it’s the Thunderbird that crests totem poles, known for his omnipotence and wrath, separating the line between the heavens and the earth:
So Kolus is impersonating his brother. Everyone’s saying the Shack’s totem pole has only two characters, Kolus and the beaver. The great Thunderbird is nowhere to be found. Then I realized the totem pole doesn’t only rest above the ground. There’s more beneath it.
Why are the ‘world wars’ called the ‘world’ wars when it was only a bunch a white countries beefing over who gets to control and fuck up the world the most? Why does everything white suddenly become the world?
ah yes
the world wars were white
remember the white countries japan, china, egypt, libya, morocco, iraq, brazil, the phillipines, thailand, vietnam, burma and ethiopia in the world wars
Despite Twilight’s flaws I think we can all appreciate what Rosalie Hale did to her gang of rapists after she became a vampire
One of Twilight’s biggest flaws was always that um, how do I put this? It has these kickass supporting characters with these fascinating back stories and instead we have to pay attention to this truly boring couple instead of hearing about Jasper fighting in a vampire war, or Alice as a psychic girl in a 1920’s mental institution, or Carlyle as a vampire doctor trying to atone for all the murdering he did.
Or Leah as the ONLY BIOLOGICALLY FEMALE WEREWOLF IN THE WORLD, or that other vampire baby from South America.
Or pretty much anything beyond Bella and Edward staring at one another and crying.
Fun game I played by accident last week: read over internet chatlogs from five years ago and watch Past You saying things that Present You can recognize as terrible and wrong. It’s like a drinking game, only with wincing instead of drinking!
Change over time is not hypocrisy, it’s growth. If you haven’t changed any of your opinions or speech patterns in five years, you may be overdue to dust some of them off and see if you still like them.
Remember when Snape made fun of the size of a teenage girls teeth and she subsequently chose to change them so they were permanently smaller? What a hero.
Remember when Snape abused a thirteen year-old student (whose parents hand been tortured to the point that they didn’t even recognize him) so much that he was more afraid of him than he was of anything else in the world? Bravest man I’ve ever known.
remember how snape only worked for dumbledore because he had a crush on lily and if nevil had been the chosen one, snape would still be an evil jackass? What a paragon.
Weird how my abortion was nothing like that, isn’t it? I got mine in a sterile, hospital environment and the physician performing was funny and kind. He knew that I didn’t much want a man doing the operation because I didn’t want a strange male seeing my female parts, but I got over it because hey, he’s a doctor.
They placed down a towel and there was very minimal blood. Maybe as much blood as you’d get if you sneezed while on a light period? Not a whole lot. They just gave me a maxi pad to wear to help with it. And the entire thing was done in about two minutes. It only hurt when I got the anesthetic injection, (But hey, shots hurt!), and when it was finishing up. It felt a lot like my usual period cramps.
It was over before I knew it! The nurses talked to me the whole time about my life, my job, my fiance, and asked how I was feeling and if there was anything I needed to be more comfortable. They made sure the lights weren’t too intense and that I was properly supported so that I was settled in alright.
Afterward they let me stand up and asked if I felt dizzy. They also gave me an ultrasound to make sure they got everything out! I told them I felt alright and that I was relieved that it was finally over. The pregnancy, I mean. The abortion was over before I even really realized! They walked me into the recovery room where I got to lay in bed wearing comfortable slippers, and they gave me Pepsi to drink and Ritz crackers to eat while I read a magazine and relaxed.
The recovery time was required, but I didn’t really need it? I got an Ibuprophen after telling them that I was alright to take them, (They needed to know if I was allergic.) I was alright to leave soon after but they made me lay down and relax for about twenty minutes while my fiance waited for me in the waiting room. He met me at the door on the way out, we bought some condoms for a very great price, and got on the road to go home. And we ate KFC that night, which was awesome!
So no. My abortion wasn’t anything like that. This is not what legal abortions look like.
This is what it will look like if you make us go back to getting illegal, unprofessional abortions in unsanitary environments and performed by back-alley butchers.
Look. I can tell you are serious about your conviction and that the pro-life cause means a lot to you. Why can’t you just back yourself up with non-biased sources, real photos that have reputable, medically-accurate information to back up their reliability, and scientific facts?
I mean it? Literally, what is stopping you from doing those things? We would listen better to you if you could source everything to scientific and medical journals, or to sources that do not have a stake in the pro-life/pro-choice debate. That way, they won’t be biased toward either side. Please? Can’t you guys just do that stuff?
I mean, I can literally tell you from experience that this is notwhat legal abortion looks like. It just isn’t. Please try harder.
Reblogging my abortion story again in celebration of Abort Stigma! I have never regretted my abortion and never will. If anyone wants to send hate, my anon is on to showcase the pro-life love <3
important
Legalize abortion. Not necessarily because it’s morally okay, but because people are going to have abortions anyway and they’re safer in a hospital setting.
