I know I told this story before but last year I was having complications with a surgery and I just broke down in a public place and I was trying to gather myself, sitting and leaning on a wall when this girl in cowboy boots approached me and sat down and she asked what was wrong and I told her it was medical issues and she said “I understand, I have to have my foot amputated next week” and it shocked me out of crying and I was like “wow that sucks!” And she said “yeah.” And then she just touched my arm so tenderly and told me “I promise you that this problem will have its place, and everything is going to work out.” And the way she said it just made me really believe her. She said. “We’re just gonna have to cowgirl up.” And then she stood up and walked away and I’d call that a genuine encounter with an angel but the truth is there is a lot of goodness right here on earth in humanity and it’s shining and pure.
Okay but “this problem will have its place” is genuinely inspiring
THAT REALLY STRUCK ME because I’ve always hated the tired rhetoric of “this happened for a reason” and this feels like a more genuine, comforting take on that. Not “it happened for a reason,” but “this will find its spot in your life and your future that it fits into in a way that will eventually work out even though it sucks that it happened.” Love that.
my friend just asked me for fashion advice and i sent her 3 links to “things women love to wear that men hate” articles. i hope i’ve done my service well.
for the lesbians out there who don’t want men hitting on them but still want to attract girls, here are things women like that men hate. almost all of these are featured on multiple articles.
•wedge sneakers
•open-side shirts
•bright lipstick
•high waisted pants or skirts
•pantsuits
•hair bows
•oversized sweaters
•uneven dresses
•peplums
•big sunglasses
•rompers
•overalls
•bangles
•leather pants
•flip flops
•crop tops
•baggy pants
•chokers
•lace-up tops
•strapless shirts or dresses

!!!!
Why are men so boring, every one of these is a goddamn Look.
im sorry but??? if you remove all these what’s left??????
Also:
-Floppy hats
-Asymmetric dresses (ie: my love in life)
-“Boyfriend” blazers
-Retro bikinis
^^^^ yes those were all in the articles too thanks for the addition! (and for those who don’t know “retro” bikinis basically refers to high-waisted ones 👌)
Do you all want to see a puppy that was so fucking hugelarge his mom had to get a C-section only specifically because of this puppy
big baby!!!
My child.
My friend’s dog had the same happen. They were supposed to have 4 puppies, they got one single puppy the size of 4 newborns bc he absorbed his siblings before they were fully developed. They named him Pangea.
How come Tony Stark gets to fight villains naked all the time in the comics but not in the movies? I am being denied my rights!
Umm OP I need some evidence (PICTURES GIVE ME PICTURES)
Never let it be said that I don’t give the people what they want (UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE *side eyes Marvel*)
A better question is why the fuck is he naked under his armour?? Wouldn’t that hurt? If you wanna get stark naked he’s gotta have clothes to begin with
You’re right. We deserve naked Tony AND the undersuit.
i can’t believe op didn’t include avengers prime, which is perhaps my favorite instance of Naked Tony Stark™
JUST DO IT MARVEL! IT’S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO AFTER THE BULLSHIT THAT WAS THE LAST 3 AVENGERS MOVIES
SHOW US THE IRONDICK
Omg. Its back.
So thats where we got the term ‘Stark Naked’ literally naked Tony Stark omg im wheezing
it got better
I’m sorry, are you telling me there was an occasion where a naked Tony Stark flicked a flower and a few blades of grass at a someone and got a reaction that wasn’t “are you serious”???
#you know who would put the irondick in? taika #he would put the most glorious stark naked u ever saw in a4 I stg
This person knows what they’re talking about
Bless me.
This is the most ridiculous thirst post ever. Thank you.
Give us the irondick.
Now that we’ve seen the bat dick, can we see the irondick?? I mean I know the batdick isn’t from the same universe but mARVEL, IF DC GAVE US WHAT WE DIDN’T WANT WHY CAN’T YOU GIVE US WHAT WE WANT???
It’s occurred to me that RDJ might be uncomfortable doing this. Of course, the comfort of the actors is always a concern to me. As such, if it comes to that, I suggest either a body double or CGI.
RDJ would most likely be comfortable with it as long as he actual dick was covered.
He’s got mostly naked before.
Dick out or nothing. #give the irondick liberty or give us death
I mean. His children are watching this movies if i were him i wouldn’t like them to see the irondick u know?
Cover their eyes
cover their eyes.
That’s what I do with my brother when we watch game of thrones
*winston duke voice* uhh this is a Disney movie
Tell Disney to meet me in the pit.
Viva le revoldicktion
Viva le revoldicktion
*le gasp* ITS BACK!
I will never leave, never rest, not until we have been granted our Stan Lee granted RIGHTS!
iron dick, iron dick, iron dick, irON DICK, IRON DICK,
if iron man was a girl this thread would not exist
You’ve chosen the wrong person — because not only am I bisexual, I am all for destroying this country’s weird discomfort with sex and nudity where graphic violence isn’t as bad as showing a butt for five seconds.
I dont know if I’m proud or dissapointed. This is the largest thread I’ve ever read , and it’s about Tony Stark’s dick.
Interesting question: Is this thread as long as the irondick? We don’t know because Marvel won’t show us!
please why does this keep showing up on my dash
*ominous chanting* Iron-Dick, Iron-Dick,
Iron-Dick, Iron-Dick, Iron-Dick,
Iron-Dick, IRON-DICK
The devil works hard …
but the leader of le Revoldicktion works harder
It’s nice to be appreciated.
This post is too fuckin large…. kinda like the irondick
No, perfect size, also like the irondick.
this post has appeared before me yet again
unlike the irondick
juST MAKE THE MOVIES R-18 AND DONE
GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
rdj has had his dick out on set for like the last 30 years that man don’t give a fuck. less than zero? naked fur? naked wonder boys? mostly naked friends & lovers? wearing panties and also naked restoration? he literally runs down a hall with nothing more than feathers? attached to his dick 1969? almost naked, runs around in his underwear sherlock holmes? mostly naked random photoshoots? mostly naked
he’d do a naked tony scene faster than you could say “give me the irondick”
Only thing stopping us now is Marvel. Now, I maybe only five feet tall and completely non-intimidating on a physical level, but for the Revoldicktion? You better your ass I would fight them and WIN.
the fact that @ironmanstan had nothing to do with this post (as far as I know) is astounding
Ikr?? @ironmanstan where you at? How has this not summoned you?
domestication syndrome is one of the coolest findings from recent genetics
Yes!
Basically scientists have found that if you start selecting for people-friendly animals, you see a bunch of hypothetically unrelated traits start showing up in all sorts of mammal species: floppy ears, piebald/patterned coats, etc.
This is true for everything from cows to dogs to rats! One of the coolest long term studies on this has been the Russian fox experiments.
So essentially the science goes like this:
You have two copies of every genes, one from each parent.
We tend to simplify genetics, and say that for every single gene you have it is random,l coin flip which copy you pass on to you offspring. We also tend think of genes as a 1:1 ratio of genes—>traits.
But! This is not quite the case.
Genes have a specific physical location and order relative to each other on your chromosomes, and the chance of genes being inherited together goes up the closer together they are located. This means random, unrelated traits can wind up being more commonly inherited together in specific patterns just because those genes are located close together, and you don’t get that completely random reshuffling of two parent’s traits. Some of them tend to stay “stuck” together.
This is called linkage, and it’s why you often see red hair, pale skin, and freckles together, for example.
The second factor that plays into this is that a lot of times 1 gene affects several different traits (or several different genes affect 1 trait). This means that sometimes you really *can’t* untangle two traits because they have a similar cause. For example, say genes for increased aggression are responsible both for making a spider a better hunter (pro) and making a spider more likely to eat its offspring (con). Because the same gene is the cause of both things, natural selection can’t really untangle them.
Circling back to the redhead/freckles/pale skin example, these traits are affected by a number of different genes, but also one gene in particular: MCR1, a gene that changes how your body responds to hormones promoting melanin production. Again, one gene related to pigment production can affect a BUNCH of different traits. (And also skin cancer risk. Fun!)
Domestication Syndrome in mammals turns out to be due to both linkage and genes affect by multiple traits!
See, when we domestic animals we want them to be friendlier/less aggressive, which normally translates to less FEARFUL.
And it turns out that the same genes involved in adrenal responses and other stress reactions are also involved in melanin, cartilage, and bone production. So when we domesticate animals we get these recurring changes in pigmentation (white patches, piebald costs), floppy ears (cartilage), shorter muzzles and other changes in physical stature (bone growth), etc.
We also wind up selecting for a lot of neotenic genes in general— that is, retention of childhood traits into adulthood. That’s because baby animals tend to have lots of friendly/trusting/biddable/curious traits we are looking for.
And honestly, who can say no to a face like this?
ps, since it was mentioned:
the same genes involved in domestication probably help animals form social groups in general. if you need to get along with and trust strangers you need a decrease in the panic/aggression genes.
cats, for example, probably domesticated themselves when they started living close to each other and to humans to feed off of pests in grain silos.
and yeah, some some recent theories suggest humans may have ‘domesticated’ themselves:
so basically you’re saying that when we breed animals to be friends, they become friend-shaped.
fuck minimalism. if you dont have trinkets and knickknacks on every surface you’re not doing it right.
the point of this post is not about junk or collectables!!!! its about the 7 bottles i own for no reason other than i think they look neat!!! its about the glass i found on the beach and pocketed because its pretty!! hell is an endless white expanse with a single white chair and white table with a single succulent on it!!!!!
Magpies are very intelligent birds, as evidenced by the fact that one clearly has a blog.
Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.
what book is this?
This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.
I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS.
The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD. He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.
Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?
That is how we stop abuse.
We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.
Arm yrself with knowledge!
Changed my life, would reccomend.
Reblogging for the PDF link.

Always reblogging because this isn’t just a partner abuse thing, this is a common abuse tactic PERIOD: Parents, siblings, bosses, general assholes, etc…
Pretty sure I’ve reblogged this like eight times, don’t care.
