Grandma poison water SNAPPED

For those wondering, this is an example of Hostile design or Hostile architecture. If the middle part of the bench was still there, a homeless person could use it to sleep or rest on. without it, they can’t. the purpose wasn’t to provide people in a wheelchair a place to sit, it was to make sure homeless people can’t use it.

Hostile design is a huge problem where instead of actually solving the problem (homelessness) they just cover it up so they don’t have to see it.

Oh :(

David Tennant at Dragon Con about a Good Omens deleted scene which will hopefully be on the DVD:  And also there was a bit during that where I did take off a dock jacket and threw it behind me and it landed on the prong of a railing as I walked down the street, which I was terribly pleased with. And yet - cutting room floor. So I’m hoping that would be on the DVD release. Because, frankly, I deserve it. :) (x)

Women should be able to go their entire lives without wearing makeup or heels if they don’t want to, without getting called slobby, or unprofessional, or “doesn’t care about her image”, or being fucking denied jobs for not wanting to wear heels or makeup at work every day. If men aren’t expected to cover their faces with makeup or wear incredibly uncomfortable shoes every day of their lives neither should I.

This goes doubly so for trans women, gnc women and woc

ANYWAY THIS IS A GOOD ADDITION AND TERFS ARENT ALLOWED TO INTERACT WITH THIS POST WHATSOEVER!!!

every time i see "why are you buying clothes at the soup store" i have to laugh because there's a mall near my grandparents' house and one of the stores in it is called soup store and you'll never guess what they sell

Op this is amazing but I’m required by law to say

FUCK YOU

“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

I’m sorry, I’m reblogging this twice in a row it is that important

Stand up and say it again for the people in the back row. 

So how do they make that?

This just raises more questions for me 🤦🏾‍♂️

what the FUCK

this is whats called a ‘coffer dam’, you basically build some walls, drop them in the water, tie them together, and then pump out the water from your new hole in the water so you can build while staying dry its oddly not that hard- the flippin ROMANS were able to do it with logs and mud

occasionally particularly devious people would use this to hide treasure or tombs underneath the river so its not only impossible to find but impossible to get to without an engineer division

that last part gives me ideas for campaigns

“Not that hard - the ROMANS were able to do it” - people seriously underestimate how advanced some ancient cultures were and the organized effort it takes to come up with something like this and actually implement it. The Romans had heated floors, glass windows and ceilings that could be rotated to reflect what you were eating (forests for game, sea landscapes for fish). Hell, the Greeks built cameras and moving robots. The Minoans, who lived four thousands years ago and were wiped out by a tsunami three times as powerful as the one which devasted Japan in 2011, had running water and modern toilets. And let’s not get into how China basically invented everything centuries before anyone else. 

Bottom line: just because someone was already doing it thousands of years ago, doesn’t mean it’s not very difficult and an extraordinary feat of engineering.

someone: you build how many bridges on a single military campaign…?

Caesar: what, like it’s hard?

The Indus valley civilisations (one of the cradles of civilisation) had a covered sewer system. The first urban sanitation system might have been Harappa around 4 500 years ago. It included baths. The people in Lothal had a toilet in every house around 4370 years ago. They also had normed brick sizes to make building easier.

While we’re on industrial norms: Mesopotamia (another cradle of civilisation) had mass-produced bowls. They were traded with other city-states (read: internationally). They also had a writing system, schools (at least for the upper class), and exercise slates. The Sumerians and Akkadians in Mesopotamia formed a sprachbund that meant many people were bilingual in the 3rd millennium BC.

While we’re on the topic of literacy in ancient civilisations: Signboards were a thing. Enough people were literate to have signboards and inscriptions on houses. The oldest known inscription is on a lintel in Dholavira, Indus valley from 5000ish years ago (We have no idea what it says though.).

That’s just my five cents to people have always been people, and people have always been awesome. Sorry for the rant (but do tell me if you want to hear more about awesome in the other cradles of civilisation; or the proto-communism debate; or the “mother-goddess” debacle; or egalitarian values in ancient cultures (I might have to re-read Plato to go into full detail on that one and include the Greeks).

Please never apologize for adding cool info to posts! And feel free to add more :)

The real reason we’re scared of the technological capabilities of ancient civilizations is because they were just as good as us, and now they’re gone

discussing history w men is just like

You know what this seems the /Purr/fect opportunity to insert the screaming cowboy meme  XD

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him, “That’s a girl’s name!” Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin’ Terry.

How did you make me read this with my own eyes.
