kata-speaks:
Victorian era surgeons didn’t wash their hands and found the suggestion that they should wash their hands offensive.
This was said by Charles Meigs AFTER multiple papers had been published showing how important it was that surgeons wash their hands and sterilize their instruments.
The reason? Class. The gentlemen doctors weren’t like those dirty poor people.
Which sounds a bit like anti-vaxxers.
Because TODAY, when we were going to see the eradication of measles within in our lifetime, the upper crust decided that their children didn’t need to have “chemicals” put in their bodies. And why would they need vaccines anyway? Their upper class precious children could never contract measles… not like those dirty poor people.
If you don’t think this outbreak stems from blatant classism and racism, just remember that the lowest vaccination rates in California are also in its whitest, wealthiest cities.
Diseases don’t’ care about your class. They don’t go “Oh, this unvaccinated person has a lot of money. I should just look for someone who can’t afford healthcare instead.”

#favourite harry potter headcanons
I’m a potterhead so I have to correct a couple of these
1st one: I think dumbledore meant not to go wandering in alone. technically Harry had supervision, even if it was Hagrid and he decided to split up
2nd: he couldn’t have been able to toss baby Harry out the window when the curse failed because he had already been destroyed by the curse backfiring. He lost his body and fled
4: “Moody” is the one who told Cedric, knowing he’d tell Harry in repayment for the tip about the dragons.
These are fun, but I wish people would get their facts right
Even before the curse backfired and nearly destroyed him, Lilys curse was still casted to keep Tom from touching hairy couldn’t even touch him. That’s why there was the whole thing where it had to be Harrys blood to revive him in body because anyone elses blood and the curse of the untouched would remain. Also, that’s why Harrys touch killed the first year professor with Toms face on the back.

DONT ASK ME THIS, THIS IS HOW THE TROJAN WAR STARTED, I DONT WANT THIS MAN
Right away, Aphrodite popped into my head.
And then I’m just like, “DAMMIT, DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM PARIS? YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT, AND NOW ALL THE TROJANS ARE DEAD. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY.”
If you are ever actually in this situation, pro-tip: name Persephone. Half the goddesses will be too surprised to smite you immediately and while Hades won’t do you any favors he may at least high-five you while your on your way down.
Another tip: name Mesperyian. Not only will you shock everyone, including her (since Aphrodite was a jealous ho who burnt half her face off), but you’ll win Hades’ favour. As his most beloved daughter, anything that praises her will make you a kind human to her, an okay human to him, and a genuinely good person to anyone else.
I heartily endorse this alternative answer.
I would just say that the beauty of the goddesses cannot be comprehended by mortals due to the fact that the sheer sight of their true form will set us ablaze. The only one who can determine who the most beautiful one is would have to be a god or goddess. (worst case scenerio, they smite me for my explanation. best case, they make me a godess and have me decide. I would then choose myself)

mom doesnt believe me that im not the only one who thinks this
It doesn’t. It doesn’t. If it were based on studies on what actually works, it’d be completely different and children would keep their love of learning FAR beyond the age of 6.
I loved school, but I can still tell you that it didn’t work. It doesn’t work for anyone, not in the long run.
GDI, when I die I wanna be cremated but there won’t be enough ashes for me to become everything I want to be.
I want to:
- have them launched into space (become a star, the beginning)
- have them put in an hourglass (become time itself)
- have them fertilize a tree (become new life)
- have them crushed into a gem (the end)
In death, I want to become everything that once was and everything that will be. In death, I want to become new life. I want to be the beginning and the end. In death, I want to become a godess.
