Apocalyptic Visions: I paid $125 to go see my old doctor today and all she did was talk...

I paid $125 to go see my old doctor today and all she did was talk about how disheveled I was and how it really concerned her that I wasn’t making eye contact with anyone and how she really wants me to be in Acadia {the mental hospital here in town}

I was prescribed an antipsychotic along with my…

In all honesty, if that’s all your doc did, she sounds like she’s not worth the paper her degree was printed on.

What really strikes me about Bastion is that, at it’s heart, it is a game about forgiveness. Not just about forgiving other people, but forgiving yourself. Moving on from terrible things, from things you don’t think it’s possible to move on from. I think Evacuation is one of the most beautifully bittersweet yet hopeful endings I’ve seen. Nothing is perfect, nothing is healed, but it’s making the choice to try to heal, to try to forgive, that matters.

Ah the ending… Best part, had my sister coming in, asking what was wrong, when I was getting hit by the come emotional comedown during the credits… ouch.

Reference Images for Artists: A summary of how people die (and don't) in swordfights

nolacousland:

This is a really good article about how quickly people actually die from cuts and punctures inflicted by swords and knives. However, it’s really really long and I figured that since I was summarizing for my own benefit I’d share it for anyone else who is writing fiction…

Feminists: Hey. We'd like for women to be treated as equals.
Society: Oh sure. You want "equality" but then you expect men to open the door and pay for meals, is that it? That's not equality! That's special treatment!
Feminists: Um, no not really. You don't have to open the door and pay for our meals. We can do that ourselves.
Society: *gasp* What? You don't want men to open doors for you? Why do you hate nice people? No wonder chivalry is dead! You'd yell at a man for just being polite and opening the door for you?
Feminists: No! We're just saying you don't have to do it just because we're women!
Society: And while we're at it, how come you don't protect male victims of abuse and rape, huh?
Feminists: Actually, we think it's really terrible that men are forced to stay quiet about their abuse because they're worried about not being taken seriously. It's this Alpha Male myth that causes it. Men are abused and raped and they're not helped because men are supposed to be tough and able to handle it. This also goes for men not being able to express emotions.
Society: Oh, so you just want men to be a bunch of pansies then, huh? You hate men for wanting to be strong LIKE NATURE INTENDED THEM TO BE. You'll be sorry when you end up married to some weak, simpering fool who likes to talk about his "feelings"!
Society: Also, you can't have equal rights because women aren't aggressive enough to want higher pay and stuff.
Feminists: HOW ABOUT YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON?
Society: Jesus, calm down. No need to be so aggressive.

: Why We Need Assault Weapons

dangatorium:

By Bill DIxon

Whenever there is a national tragedy where the culprit deputizes assault weapons in some senseless horrifying killing spree, all of a sudden the nation becomes skittish about M-16s. Some might argue that semi-automatic and automatic weapons have no practical purpose besides killing…

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of the easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening - Robert Frost

A New Jersey teenager who launched a campaign to get Hasbro to make a gender-neutral Easy-Bake Oven is expected to meet with the toy company Monday afternoon. According to The Associated Press, the oven’s team at Hasbro invited 13-year-old McKenna Pope of Garfield, N.J., to share her thoughts and ideas. McKenna wants the company to make the pink and purple oven in more boy-friendly colors and also feature boys in their marketing for the toy. The oven, she says, reinforces gender stereotypes to the point that her younger brother thinks boys shouldn’t cook. “We continue to enforce this stereotype that men don’t cook, they work,” Pope says in a YouTube video created as part of her effort to get Hasbro to change the way it makes and markets the toy oven. Her online petition has garnered 44,000 supporters since it was launched in November and has the backing of top chefs like Bobby Flay.

Radical Right Domino's Pizza Founder Sues Over Obamacare Contraception Coverage Mandate

justinspoliticalcorner:

DETROIT — The founder of Domino’s Pizza is suing the federal government over mandatory contraception coverage in the health care law.

Tom Monaghan, a devout Roman Catholic, says contraception isn’t health care but a “gravely immoral” practice.

He filed a lawsuit Friday in federal court. It also lists as a plaintiff Domino’s Farms, a Michigan office park complex that Monaghan owns.

Monaghan offers health insurance that excludes contraception and abortion for employees. The new federal law requires employers to offer insurance including contraception coverage or risk fines.
