There have been a lot of good memes this year but I think the underdog meme of 2014 is “shaming aesthetic bloggers who unnecessarily submerge things in water that should not be submerged in water”

shit

you used a ziploc you cheated the meme police are coming

drumminanime:

This is too funny to be real

I would agree with you there but after this, I’m not sure if these kinds of things are trolls.

One of the women who organized the dance first complained about Claire’s dress, but upon checking, admitted that it conformed to the standards set for the event. Nonetheless, the same woman later pulled Claire aside and told her that some of the dads—who had been watching from a balcony—felt her dancing was “too provocative” and liable to cause “impure thoughts.”

When Claire pointed out that she hadn’t even been dancing, other chaperones joined in, again told her that her dress was too short (despite having verified it was within standards, and despite other girls having shorter dresses), and, finally kicked her out of the dance.

What made Claire so provocative that these men couldn’t control themselves? Well, apparently the fact that she’s 5’9, with long legs, and built more like a grown woman than like a typical teenager. That’s it.

The problem isn’t that these men found her to be attractive; the problem is  that they and others—including other women—held Claire responsible for the men’s unwillingness to control their own reactions.

The message here is that if a man has difficulty controlling himself around a woman he finds attractive, it’s the woman’s fault for being too “provocative.”

Let me emphasize that point for those who still don’t get it: Women are held accountable for men’s reactions. This is why when a woman reports a rape, or sexual harassment of any kind, among the first questions asked—by both men and women—is inevitably, “what was she wearing?” And unless she was covered head to toe, there are inevitably comments like, “Well, what did she expect?” Even if the woman was wearing baggy sweatpants and a sweater three sizes too big, there are far too many who’s first response is, “Well, she must have done something.”

And this, my friends, is rape culture.

Read the Gawker story here, and Claire’s blog post here.

So they never thought about the fact that they might need help in not liking under 18 years old. Lets blame 15 year old girls next for the guys who like them- and why stop there, lets blame 10 year olds for the men thinking they arousing to look at too. My point is- with some men, there is always an excuse. 

So wait wait wait
A bunch of adult men are having sexual thoughts about an underage girl and SHE is the dangerous element that should be removed? Not the perverted adult men surrounded by teenage girls?
Bullshit

________ America.

when rape is the girls fault 

• when she is the rapist 

when rape is the guys fault 

• when he is the rapist 

Always reblog this

this is especially important with everyone dismissing Shia LaBeouf’s rape 

and defending Lena Dunham’s sexual abuse of her sister

I had a teacher who refused to let any of us say “its okay” because of this exact reason.

It has taken me years to learn that it’s also okay to say “Thank you.” when someone apologizes.
It is perfectly acceptable to acknowledge that someone has apologized, and still refuse to accept their apology. There are things in this world that cannot be apologized for.

I feel like you can tell a lot about a person by how they react when their apology is not accepted.

You can also tell a lot about someone by how they act when you recant accepting an apology.

You are not obligated to accept an apology. it does not make you less of a person and if they get mad at you for not accepting it, then they were already planning on doing whatever they did wrong again.

wait romans painted their marble sculptures

it looks like a cheap theme park ride mascot

yep

here’s a statue of Augustus

and here’s a reproduction of the statue with the colors restored 

i honestly think that what we consider the height of sculpture in all of Western civilization being essentially the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit to be evidence of the potential merit of found art

“I tried coloring it and then I ruined it”

And you know what the funniest part is? The paint didn’t just wear off over time. A bunch of asshole British historians back in the Victorian era actually went around scrubbing the remaining paint off of Greek and Roman statues - often destroying the fine details of the carving in the process - because the bright colours didn’t fit the dignified image they wished to present of the the cultures they claimed to be heirs to. This process also removed visible evidence of the fact that at least some of the statues thus stripped of paint had originally depicted non-white individuals.

Whenever you look at a Roman statue with a bare marble face, you’re looking at the face of imperialist historical revisionism.

(The missing noses on a lot of Egyptian statues are a similar deal. It’s not that the ancient Egyptians made statues with strangely fragile noses. Many Victorian archaeologists had a habit of chipping the noses off of the statues they brought back, then claiming that they’d found them that way - because with the noses intact, it was too obvious that the statues were meant to depict individuals of black African descent.)

Sorry, I keep reblogging this over and over, the last comment is unbelievable. Wow.

The nose thing makes me pissed. The archeologists were so racist that they wanted to prevent evidence that the people who lived in africa looked african.

I do not mean to sound like I am starting drama, but…

What’s the point of telling someone you’re still friends and then choose to break mostly all forms of contact? To ignore them mostly and hardly say anything?
I know I’m not a good person, but damn, I try to be one.
I try.

I’m not sure how to get my words out of my head properly. 
I’m just fucked up right now…

I’m hanging on by a thread and I don’t want this friendship to crumble…

Are they the kind of person that doesn’t talk to people unless you talk first?

terribleponies:

Is there really much to explain about this one?

SERIOUSLY?! A rainbow cutiemark?!

According to what she said to me in a note her cutiemark represents a flag of homosexuality. I don’t have anything against homosexuality but this ponycreator made a pony that represents being a homosexual. Now ponies are for kids, LITTLE kids, should they be learning about homosexuality?

There is nothing wrong with teaching kids about homosexuality.

The only thing that bugs me about having a character with a cutie mark like that is like saying that their sexuality is their defining characteristic, which I personally think is a disgusting misuse of a character’s potential.
