I think aunts are unmarried, post menopause women with skills Gilead deems useful and no egregious sins - like, June's mother might've been an aunt if she weren't an activist and I think an abortion provider. I think her skills would have been considered valuable, but she herself was considered irredeemable so it was the colonies instead.
They talk about this in the testaments. You can choose to begin training to become an aunt from a young age, assuming that you’re from a high class family
I understand where you’re coming from but your sense of stolen valor on our behalf does more damage to the people who do have it than it damages the people who incorrectly assume they do
It’s somewhat common when newbies panic from what I’ve heard. When someone is having a panic attack, they begin to breathe too quickly, making it so they can’t get enough air from their regulator. Considering their fear is probably drowning I’m sure actually struggling to breathe makes it a thousand times scarier. They’re underwater and due to hyperventilation they’re starving for oxygen, so their ancient land dweller brains go “I can’t breathe, I’m underwater and there’s this thing in my mouth, it’s going to choke me and I’m going to drown”. Leading them to spitting it out and swimming to the surface as fast as they can. Despite all training and knowledge. It’s misplaced survival instincts
I always wonder. What do these people plan for their daughters if (assuming they even do marry) their husband dies or becomes too ill to work? Even if your goal in life is to become a stay at home mom you have to have back up skills to support your children
my physical therapy appointments are basically just specialized water aerobics. i do pool therapy twice a week right now to get me to a point where im well conditioned enough to work on land. its easier on your joints and, if you have pots, its helpful. my pt actually told me that part of why she had me do water therapy first is because of the water resistance. people with eds have a very bad sense of where our joints are in space, so her thinking was the water resistance would really let me know where i was (it does help). i have a better chance at building the muscle i need without dislocating something or being in significant pain.
I don't know, getting indoctrinated into a cult (midsommar) or someone turning into a serial killer who indiscriminately kills people, even good people that are kind to her and small animals, to deal with her insecurities (Pearl) to the point of kidnapping raping and torturing people because they won't have sex with you (Pearl, now an old lady in the movie X ) does not make me go: you go girl! I do think "you go girl" when thinking of Maxine in X tho.
I've had many successfully healed piercings over the years -- as soon as I stopped getting them done at Claire's with a gun and outfitted with butterfly backs. Beginner's guide incoming:
Thank you for all the great advice :) also oh my god. When I got my piercing done at Claire’s they told me to move it as much as I could to keep it from getting stuck 😭I can’t believe that. I’m also curious about sizing, I’d never heard of that before
if you are trying to hit on a short woman, and you tell her "oh. im interested in you because this is my type * insert "legal lolis" here * i dont know how to tell you that she is not going to fucking talk to you
For what it counts, I think it makes total sense to post about switching off Fitbit on here. It’s a discussion about Fitbit, it’s just not sucking the company’s ass. It’s a bit weird that people get so upset about it
One piece of advice from my mama that I live by is “never judge your life by how you feel after 10pm, and never trust how you feel about your life when high”
its not about numbers and more about treatment. the "joke groping" and "joke sexual harassment" from certain characters. the way nemu is treated (i dont think i even need to elaborate here). i do also, in my opinion, think the female characters are often sidelined. our two main female characters have had whole arcs where they were set into the "damsel in distress" role (i dont even hate these arcs, but its notable that this happened twice). the women are often depicted in ways that are sexually compromising or suggestive. i dont think we would have had the rangiku orihime bath scene if they were any of the male characters. this isnt even bad on its own, but this happens to nearly every female character very consistently. it feels very out of place and sudden whenever it happens
They way Nemu gets abused is the way the zombie arrancar get treated by mayuri . Not sure how the female captains get sidelined . Soifon did as much as renin, komamura did in their fights. The women didn’t get beat any more than the male . Nel during Hueco Mundo showed the same power level as kenpachi who at the time was like the 3rd strongest captain.
i gave examples of what i was talking about with side lining. im also mostly talking about the sexual mistreatment of the characters. i wouldnt reconsider recommending this series to a friend based off of sidelining. its a bit annoying but its not too bad compared to most other shonen ive read. however, i would and have reconsidered recommending it based off of the way women are depicted and treated sexually
i know my ass has ocd bcus i saw this and thought "i cant listen to this because what if i was misdiagnosed with ocd so that means that listening to this WILL give me ocd even though im already diagnosed-"

No thanks :)

I'd love to get why people get so worked up about this
“If I don’t immediately know what this means it therefor means nothing. I don’t want to have to think about it”
Maybe I'm asking a stupid question but why did she spit out the breathing gear?

she has anorexia man. delete this
its so shitty to see a video of a woman that is so mentally ill that she will probably die to it soon, and go "bro this is so

are her and her children sheep because thats the only way i could imagine someone fearing a border collie
Yes. I (sort of) know the person who took the bottom right picture.
Woah that’s crazy, small world. Let them know it’s a beautiful photo. I really like these little guys
Yeah it's really cute! Specifically Psilodera fasciata.
Yessss that’s it! Tysm
what 18-19yo adopts a 7-8yo though?
I’m pretty sure you’re able to adopt siblings if your parents die and you’re 18+

testimony... like, testimony in faith or testimony in court?

Agreed. Media literacy is on a steep decline I swear

Unrelated but you look a lot like Caitríona Mary Balfe (the actress for Claire Fraser from outlander)
Feel free to keep scrolling by lol. I was with FitBit from the beginning. Several others feel the same way.
For what it counts, I think it makes total sense to post about switching off Fitbit on here. It’s a discussion about Fitbit, it’s just not sucking the company’s ass. It’s a bit weird that people get so upset about it
It looks like the leg belongs to someone else so she’s just casually drowning someone in her bath

He could totally do it with more k tape trust me dude
I don’t understand because most of the female cast in bleach matches or even surpasses a lot of the male characters in bleach.
