We are running again this year, so watch this space.

Meta doesn't want you to know about Sarah Wynn-Williams book Careless People. So much so they got the courts involved so she can't promote herself. Would be a shame if a bunch of people not tied up in court promoted it for her…

oh sorry when i say i like enemies to lovers i mean enemies to lovers not bully and victim to abuser and victim

literally.

make them BALANCED.

make them both equally mean, equally sharp and witty and angry with each other. don’t make one afraid of the other and one reveling in the power. that’s not enemies. that’s not fun to read about and reading them falling in love is not cute, it’s disturbing and unrealistic and takes me out of it, personally.

rip Walburga you would have loved writing in facebook mum groups about your good for nothing son who went no-contact with you because he is selfish and ungrateful

annyit szeretnék mondani mindenkinek, aki azt érzi most, hogy ez az ország egy borzasztóan nyomasztó hely lett

hogy egyrészt igazatok van,

másrészt most kell előre menni. poloskázás, Pride-tiltás - a hatalom hosszú idő óta először fél tőletek. ha nem félne, nem csinálná ezt, csak kiszórna a választás előtt tízezer forintos Erzsébet-utalványt, mint 2018-ban tette, és ezzel nyerne is. de most fél.

tudtuk, hogy nagyon csúnya lesz, amint a ner megérzi a vereség lehetőségét, de ezek szerint itt vagyunk. sokat lehet azon vitázni, leváltható-e ez a brigád választáson, de az, ami most történik, azt jelenti, hogy ők azt gondolják, igen. használjuk ki.

Annyit tennék hozzá, hogy minden nappal durvább bel és külpolitikai fejleményekre számíthatunk, egészen az extrém őrületig, ha engedi a nép Orbánt felkészülni 2026-ra. Az országnak elemi érdeke lenne minél előbb kitakarítani őket a hatalomból, és azt kéne csinálnunk, mint amit a Szerbek.

Extra motivációként ott van, hogy csak az EU pénzekből napi 400 milliót vesztünk Viktor miatt.

Bennem eltört átbillent végre valami, amikor egy amúgy fiatal, friss, dinamikus, haladó kollega kérdezte, hogy "de mi lesz, ha könnygázaznak? "

"Hát akkor le leszünk könnygázazva"

Ezt most replyból kihozom ide külön, szeretném, hogy mindenki érezze, mennyire gyönyörűen ironikus, amikor az kezdi el osztani az észt a Pride kapcsán a feltűnési viszketegségről, aki a múltkor levezette, hogy lúzer, aki nem engedné őt 115-tel autózni lakott területen

I've got some headcanons about Vulcan evolution and ancient Vulcan civilizations, and what better way to share them than on here?

So, despite their cat-like tendencies, I think that Vulcans originally lived similar to elephants in segregated, nomadic herds. Like these are cave Vulcans, Australopithecus Vulcans. The women and children lived in one herd, and the adult men were either solitary or in two pairs. The two groups typically only met up during Pon Farr, which coincided with the rainy season. They did not originally form bonds with each other, but women were more receptive to breeding with men who were mentally compatible. Vulcan men evolved to be highly, highly aggressive during this time because like this is their only shot to pass on their genetics in seven years. Because of how harsh the planet is, they might die before the next Pon Farr comes, so they've got to learn how to knock the competition the fuck out. The Vulcans with the highest level of hormones were the most aggressive, and therefore the most likely to pass on their genes, but this was a double-edged sword: it made them more likely to die if the Pon Farr was not fulfilled. The majority of women do not experience Pon Farr, but it isn't necessarily uncommon -- about 10-15% of the female population -- to undergo Pon Farr on some level as well due to naturally elevated hormones.

A thousand years later, women discover agriculture. The women became more settled and create villages, culture, writing, government, etc. The different herds become clans, each headed by a matriarch, and come together under one village. This is when they start bonding children at a young age. Adult males are still not allowed to integrate within the all-female clans. Bonding and the kahs-wan used to be intricately linked. Once a matriarch bonded a boy to a girl, he underwent the kahs-wan: a ritual banishment. He was now considered an adult and was banished from the village. The bond he now had ensured that at the next Pon Farr, he would be naturally drawn to his bondmate, seeking her out from wherever he was in the desert like a homing signal. Now the kahs-wan is like a hardcore camping trip that all genders undergo to prove their maturity.

Of course, not all Vulcan males would return to the village to seek out their mate. Some, instead of remaining solitary, paired up with another man. Vulcan men began creating their own culture and writing, parallel to that of the women, placing particular emphasis on the t'hy'la bond they shared with their chosen other. Women had a similar bond with other women; they had a wife and then a mate who would show up once every seven years.

Well, eventually the men were like "this is bullshit, I'm tired of living in the desert, let me into your village dammit." Now men and women start having real marriages with each other, though men -- who are entering a world that women created and are beholden to women by virtue of needing to mate or they'll die -- occupy a lesser social position. Because they are now settled and have access to steady food and water, Pon Farr is no longer tied to the cyclical rainy season. It's still seven years, but when it starts is now dependent on the Vulcan's biology. Some civilizations have women retaining their wives as their primary spouse and keeping a harem of men. Other civilizations start adopting a one woman-one man system of marriage to ensure that everyone has a mate, though still giving women a powerful loophole in the koon-ut-kal-if-fee. A few civilizations retain vestiges of the old way of life; men remain part of their mother's household and likewise their bonded wife stays with her mother's household, and they only meet during Pon Farr, with the father never meeting his biological children and instead helping his sisters raise his nieces and nephews. Eventually the one woman-one man system of marriage became the most dominant.

Eventually men get equal rights and Surak comes along and is like "logic is better than violence" etc etc etc. There are still matriarchs and the koon-ut-kal-if-fee and the vestiges of the kahs-wan, but sexism is illogical. Though Vulcans are not perfect logic machines, and there are some women who are still a little bit sexist towards men. A man arguing with a man or a woman arguing with a woman might say something like "Your logic is not sound" but if a woman wanted to put down a man during an argument, she might say "Is it your Time?" which is the height of rudeness. Like asking a human if she's on her period.

WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE DID THEY TOOK HER?

Voldemort is NOT a bad boy mysterious type. He wants to be, but his hobbies are journaling and antique collecting. Gayass.

As the Ides of March approaches, let us all remember it not as the day Caesar was stabbed a whole bunch, but for what it truly was: the day a group of organized elected representatives killed a sitting unelected dictator.

the 5 love languages: song recommendations, parallel play, talking about The Character, offering to kill each other’s parents, gifting little trinkets

Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don’t seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he’s merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker’s rights impacts nearly everyone

THIS. I want workers to be treated well for their own sake, but I NEED workers to be treated well for MY sake. We have got to stop glorifying eroding margin into the negative zones.
