"You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”."
You Don’t Have to Be Pretty (via wewantrevolutiongirlstylenow)
One of my favourite quotes.

YES, THIS! This is the other shoe I am always wanting to see fall in the “every shape of every body is beautiful” argument - because, yes, all bodies are beautiful, but no, not everyone has to be beautiful. Yes, you are still wonderful if you are ugly. Yes, you can be ugly. Yes, you can be proud of being ugly. You do not need to be beautiful. There is no moral imperative to be beautiful. You do not owe beauty to anyone. You have not failed if you are not beautiful. You are FINE.
I APPROVE!!!

Say What Now of the Day: In today’s edition of Santorum Santorum Says: Rape victims who get pregnant “have to make the best out of a bad situation.”
(Also: “I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you.”)
[think.]
The thing is, as a man, this will never happen to Rick Santorum. He will never have to go through something as horrible as carrying the child of THE PERSON WHO RAPED YOU to term. And since he will never be able to experience this, he should have no comment on it - besides letting women who are in this situation make their own decisions.

Time to listen, entertainment industry.
how to cut down on an enormous chunk of illegal downloading, and this is so absurdly simple that it boggles the mind:
- make your show / movie / whatever accessible online.
- put ads on it so you can make money off of it, or sell a subscription to a competitive streaming service like netflix.
- make it available
- everywhere, meaning the country of origin and everywhere else
- as soon as it airs (tv shows) / becomes legally available to purchase (films &cet). not a week and a half later, not three days later, not the next morning. as soon as. people who are savvy about internet downloading and things are generally going to be the sort of people who hang out online and want to talk about their favorite shows as soon as they happen with their friends who are in that timezone/country. you’ll cut down on a shitton of downloading if you just make things available legally faster.
- square yourselves with the idea that in this age of high definition and internet streaming that seeing a film in a cinema is a premiumservice and should not be relied upon as a primary method of distribution.
We really do love you TV shows! We would pay for access if you gave us the chance to watch them immediately!

The Linguistic Tree of Gondor.
matthen:
An interesting diagram showing the family tree of Indo-European languages. At the bottom is Proto-Indo-European, the reconstructed common ancestor. Its word *wel (‘turn’), for example, gave rise eventually to English words including: waltz, valve, convolve, evolve, revolt, valley, helix, wallow, willow, walk and Helen.
