This is Beth. I ramble sometimes, but it's okay. I'll post things of interest, and use tumblr to stay sane. :DAlso, I post a fair amount of naked people. So...if you follow and that's not your thing, I promise I wont be offended if you unfollow me. :D
we think cats are adorable no matter how skinny or fat they are so why do we treat humans any differently

I’m glad to see her taking care of him even as she rides him. The gloves to protect his hands (perhaps so he can serve her later) and the knee pads to save his knees and jeans. I like it.

Personal story: I had aspirations of being president (before I know much about politics) from the time I was 11 until I was 16. I decided against it because during that time I was told well over 100 times that people wouldn’t vote for me because I was a girl, and in the later years, because I was a feminazi. Their conclusion that I was a feminazi was because I demanded that we focus on women’s roles in the history of Georgia class. And because I believed in equality. Because of these things, I choose to change my mind because I didn’t want to lead a country full of people who thoughts my gender had anything to do with my ability. I do want to see women in law making positions but that is not my calling. Also because I don’t play the politics game well.

- Societal expectations to be a provider.
- No long term reversible male birth control

TRIGGER WARNING
This is a Scottish anti-rape PSA that is a direct response to blaming a rape victim for dressing like a slut. What do you think? Is it effective?
ummmmm YES.
we need PSA’s like this in the U.S. asap. this video gets to the point of what rape culture is and is very serious about it.
WIN WIN WIN WIN
Wow, absolutely. This was amazing, and it was only thirty seconds.

“After this I go to work at a pizza shop. My wife and I were college professors in Bangladesh. I taught accounting. But one dollar in America becomes eighty dollars when we send it back home.”
People forget, when immigrants come to this country they start from scratch. They could have been lawyers in their home country, but in the US..it means nothing. You think a HS diploma from Bangladesh means anything in this country? My mom was a top student in the country, went to all the best school and got the best of everything…but when she got here it meant squat and she was cleaning other people’s homes and scrubbing their toilets. This is why I get pissed of when people talk smack about immigrants. They at least are doing something…..heading for a goal..making sacrifices…what are you doing with your life?
^ My parents were college-educated teachers in their home country and came to the U.S. with nothing but empty pockets, a dash of hope, and a belief in God. They also scrubbed toilets in people’s homes to make enough to provide for their children, and that’s probably not something a lot of educated professionals would be able to do. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. Pride would get in the way.
THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT.

Corset + Tudor|Elizabethan
^Stays. Not a corset, Stays. Corsets were invented later.
The difference is how they are made, right?
Yep, and the kind of shape they create. Stays create a very cone shaped figure, while corsets create a more hourglass shape. Also stays are usually either one piece laced in the back, or laced in the back and front. And corsets rely on the two piece busk at the front and lacing in the back.
I think stays tend to end at the waist with the point extending beyond, while corsets typically go from the bust to just over the hips. (Depending on what era of corset. The late 1800s corsets went well past the hips.)
And this fantastic image I found has all the different kinds of shapewear side by side so you can see the differences. The one of the left is a “pair of bodies” or stays, and the middle and right are corsets:
I’m going to stop here before I end up writing a novel.
Thank you so much you beautiful lovely soul.
