it’s time to realize that lesbian is not synonymous with terfs. anyone can be a terf; ive seen bi and straight women who were terfs. it’s not something limited to lesbians and saying anyone with a lesbian flag in their icon is automatically a possible terf is lesbophobic!!!
people who aren’t lesbians should rb this bc it shouldn’t fall on lesbians to deal with this
oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built
I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar
Mongols were fighting Samurai in Japan and Knights in Europe at the same time.
Star Wars a New Hope came out the same year as the last execution in France by Guillotine.
Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allen Poe were friends in their early 20′s.
When the Great Pyramids were being built there were areas that still had Woolly Mammoths roaming.
Harvard University didn’t teach calculus in its first few years after being established because calculus wasn’t invented yet.
Nintendo was founded two years after the Eiffel Tower was constructed
This is the book you want: The Timetables of History - going year by year (or in the earlier sections, at least century by century) and showing you what was going on in various parts of the world in several categories (e.g. Politics, Literature, Science, etc.) Super useful for visualizing what events were happening at the same time.
looking at Wikipedia’s pages for years, decades, or centuries can also be fun for this reason
So i’ve been debating coming on here to ask for help with this, but I can’t stand to see my cat in the pain that he’s in.
I’ve had my cat, Sunny, for around 10 years now, and he’s become a very important part of my life over that time. Currently, he has a problem with his eye that, because of lack of money, we have been unable to treat. Here he was a few years ago:
And here is him now:
As you may be able to see, his right eye has gotten very bad. It started out as what the vet thought were weird growths on his eyeball, around his pupil. We had went to a feline optometrist to learn it was glaucoma, so tried to treat it as such. But now it had progressed to a stage where he cannot see out of it at all, it sometimes starts bleeding, and had pretty much developed a huge scab over it that he sometimes tries to mess with cause it is an irritation to him, ending with him ripping it back open and causing him more pain.
The only thing we can do for him now is to have the eye removed and the lid sewn up (enucleation). The surgery is going to cost upward of $500. I have been attempting to put a bit away every now and then to pay for it, but with bills and other expenses around the house, my mother and I have had a hard time trying to procure the funds.
If anyone can help by donating to my PayPal or cashapp, it would be appreciated. I love Sunny, and hate for him to be in this kind of pain.

THIS IS SO WEIRD BC I SAW MY OLD CRUSH FROM LIKE 6TH GRADE AT THE BEACH & I TALKED TO HIM
i’m a 16 yr old afro-latina girl in a (mostly) one income house hold, and no one is my house currently has a job. my father occasionally supports us, but he doesn’t live with us and often guilt trips my sister whenever she asks him for money. (he’s currently paying for one of my extracurriculars, and it’s already expensive enough. he’s also shown in the past that he’s not reliable when it comes to money.)
i’m going into my junior year of high school, and my mother still doesn’t know what she’s going to be doing in the fall because a false legal assumption cost her her job as a teacher. she can’t go back to the career she had before because of that false legal assumption.
i don’t want her to have to come out of pocket all the time to make sure i have to eat. she often spends a lot of money on groceries for our house and the constant repairs our house goes under, since it’s super old.
if anyone could donate at least a dollar to me, i could pay for everyday meals n stuff instead of having to constantly ask my mother for money.
my cash app is cash.me/$kandamaris! please, if you can’t donate, reblog.
Andre 3000 doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Neither does Missy & Busta Ryhmes. Shoutout to all the alternative black artists. Ya’ll stay ahead of the curve.
In 7th grade our teacher made us submit an essay into a competition sponsored by a drug-free campaign. The essay basically had to be about how drugs are bad and our pledge to never do drugs. My friend won first place out of the entire district and the reward was a check for $40 to be used towards college. The check was written so that it couldn’t be redeemed until 2017 (the year we graduated) and my friend just now cashed it. She then proceeded to buy 7 grams of weed with her drug-free essay prize money.
Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships.

August 11th is the new moon solar eclipse, which is the end of a one year cycle that began at the life altering solar eclipse that happened last August. A lot has changed since then. We are at the tail end of that journey and approaching the closing of that chapter. Full circle.
