Stop The Beauty Madness is a series of 25 advertisements branded with honest messages that highlight the true “madness” involved in creating and meeting beauty standards. Rice, an author and the founder of Be Who You Are Productions, started the campaign to challenge an internalized belief that a woman’s beauty determines her value.

Exactly man….

This is actually a common trick in all sick systems—dysfunctional workplaces, abusive relationships, fucked up families, etc.  The idea is, if you keep someone distracted, tired, and overworked enough, they won’t have enough energy to turn on you.  For example, Andy Blake had a habit of depriving his followers of sleep—keeping them

Challenge #00656 - A291: Do You Have Time...?

The stars are right, R’yleh is about to rise…and Cthulhu’s Witnesses are out in force, ringing everyone’s doorbells.

Bing bonnnng

Sally peeked. People in suits with clipboards. On a Saturday. This was never good. She risked opening the door.

There was a dark-stained knife at his hip.

“Oh, don’t worry. It’s ceremonial,” smiled the clean-shaven man with the sunken eyes and a desperate smile. “Much like you’d wear

On the one hand, I adore the take on Marquess of Queensberry rules. On the other hand, I find that this attitude is a disservice to those...

Sorry. I do not understand the bloodier sports.

Pugilism and, to a lesser extent, pro wrestling, are sports where the primary goal is to cause damage to one’s opponent.

Many of the games in the “kill the guy with the ball” theme [there’s lots!] also feature bloody players as a means of audience excitation. Australian rules football regularly features players who have taped their ears to their heads in order to prevent other players from pulling

Next Challanger

How does competitive combat (boxing, martial arts, etc.) fare in the new environment of the Amity universe?

(#00655 - A290)

The humans inside the roped-off square wore heavy padding on their hands, heads, and torsos. They faced off in formal postures that a number of them called Markisuvkwinsbree.

T'reka lit on Calico’s saddle and regarded the match.

“What this happening?”

Su-syn, leaning on her horse, chirped, “Testosterone-poisoning-related posturing. Two male here have rivalry over same female. They

Why do the numidids feel the way they do about scientific curiosity?

Science is dangerous.

The Numidid are a pretty paranoid species. And why not? They’re not from a deathworld like us. The world they came to was not the paradise they expected it to be. Everything growing on it was at the same time familiar to, and very different from, the biota they left behind them. [Eg: A perfectly delicious fruit from home looks exactly like a toxic doppelganger on their new world]

Broken bones lead to death from shock.

socialjusticekoolaid:

Last Night in Ferguson (10.21.14): A state senator was arrested (and mama may have been legally packing), one of the lead organizers, nettaaaaaaaa, was roughed up by police, and one of the main sources of footage/live feeds, Rebel Z, was detained in what seems to have been an intimidation and straight up harassment tactic. The police are out of control, and it’s only getting worse. If you think this is over, you need to look again. #staywoke

Challenge #00654 - A289: But Why?

Curiosity in humans vs. numidids, how the adults handle it in children

Before the attitudes changed, it went like this:

Humans

“Momma? Why is the sky blue?”

“Some say it’s a reflection of the ocean. Some say it’s dust particles. Others sat it’s the air refracting the suns’ light. I think it’s a little of all of the above.”

“Oh. Okay. Can I have a cookie?”

“After dinner.”

“Aaaaaawwww…

Towards the whole "pronouns hurt people's feelings" topic. Am I REALLY the only person on the planet that thinks people are becoming far to...

thefrogman:

Supposedly invented by the Chinese, there is an ancient form of torture that is nothing more than cold, tiny drops falling upon a person’s forehead. 

On its own, a single drop is nothing. It falls upon the brow making a tiny splash. It doesn’t hurt. No real harm comes from it. 

In multitudes, the drops are still fairly harmless. Other than a damp forehead, there really is no cause for concern. 

The key to the torture is being restrained.

Children of the Night...

I thought I was alone as I silently entered the house, but a voice caught my ear, making me freeze.
“Funny thing about gaining immortality, it can happen to anyone, at any time, whether it is wanted or not…”
I turned, seeing nobody around at first, then I spotted a small girl sitting in the corner, facing away from where I stood, seemingly oblivious to me as she played with her dolls. Had she been here the whole time?
