Toxic waste spill in northern Alberta biggest of recent disasters in North America
“Every plant and tree died” in the area touched by the spill, said James Ahnassay, chief of the Dene Tha First Nation, whose members run traplines in an area that has seen oil and gas development since the 1950s.
A woman’s body is not for you. If she wants to cover it, she should feel free and safe in doing so. If she wants to expose it, she should feel free and safe in doing so. It is not an indication of her self-respect, but an indication of her preferences for whatever reasons she chooses — none of which are your business or concern.
Unnecessary “fillers” in our speech. I’d rather have “like” than up-talking, though (if we had to choose one, that is). Ewwww, up-talking. Then again, a combination of the two would render me homicidal maniac.
Like, did you ever notice? That, like, the speech patterns people, like, think are stupid? Are, like, commonly associated with, like, women?
And, like, there’s this thing? Where, like, women aren’t supposed to be, like, assertive? So they, like, qualify their speech? Because, like, we’re not supposed to, like, stand by our opinions?
1) humiliate women so they don’t feel qualified to speak authoritatively about anything
2) humiliate women for speaking in such a way that reflects how you treat her
3) laugh, you are superior because you don’t use words like “like.” It isn’t as if being a huge stupid asshole has ever made you worse than a woman who speaks with verbal tics.
all of this and also if you actually read what the woman is saying in the ad it’s really sad and supports what people have said above rather than what the ad is “trying” to “say”
‘Academy of linguistic awareness’
As if any legitimate society of linguists would ever give a shit about eradicating minor speech patterns like this with aggressive prescriptivist poster campaigns
Yea I’m pretty sure most linguists would find this to be ridiculous.
was it really necessary for me to be born
Possibly not, however Double Chocolate Chip Cookies aren’t really necessary either but I wouldn’t want to live in a world without them!
that is the most uplifting thing i’ve read all day

no but women are so badass okay
because there will inevitably come a point in every woman’s life where she wakes up in a pool of her own blood and her reaction will be dammit now i have to do laundry
that is some suave superhero shit and you won’t ever be able to convince me otherwise
There are two things in life that I am truly passionate about: Comics, and honey.
Just don’t give it to babies and small children especially raw, okay? Okay. Carry on.
i dont even like honey and i suddenly like honey
Also!!! If you have seasonal allergies, buying local honey from a farmers market or something can help tone down your allergies! The honey is made from bees in your area that have been pollinating with those same flowers and plants that are making your nose try to kill you! So by eating local honey, you automatically have a natural immunization against your seasonal allergies!
Honey also makes a really good sweetener, especially for tea. Put a bit in and it really enhances the flavour.
If you ‘don’t like honey’, try honey made from specific flower varieties! Clover honey is the most common, but things like wildflower honey, sage honey, etc all are out there, and whatever the bees got the honey from lends a little bit of different flavor! I’m a huge fan of sage honey, myself.
(I even had poison ivy honey once and it was legit as fuck.)
Wait honey tastes different depending on the FLOWER?? I gotta buy some more honey!
actually the only way in which honey can go bad is if it comes in contact (and stays in contact) with water. if water gets inside the jar, the honey is doomed to be infested with bacteria. so always close the honey container if you value your life
this post has inspired me to buy all the different honey types
crowley does not appreciate honey as much as cas does
what a nice post you have. it’d be a shame if it
got more notes than you expected
wait a fUCKINg SECONd
this is the most unironic thing to happen to me
