God I am sick and tired of people uwu-washing indigenous American history.

Did the Inca have exquisite building techniques, efficient messengers, and quality waterworks? Yes. They were also an expansionist empire built on violent conquest and the splitting up and relocating of conquered peoples.

Did the Aztecs have a gorgeous capital city built at the heart of a lake, with floating farms and towering temples honoring their fascinating pantheon? Yes. Guess what tho. They were also a violent expansionist empire who practiced ritual sacrifice of prisoners of war.

The Iroquois confederacy had one of the most unique representative political systems I’ve ever heard of, with women taking a forefront in most local government matters too. But their internal peace allowed them to redirect violence to their neighbors, as so often happens with tribal confederations, and they eventually violently conquered the Ohio valley and destroyed or displaced dozens of other indigenous groups.

Even my beloved Cahokia has the graves of sacrifice victims amidst its ruins.

A society should not need to be (and fundamentally cannot be) squeaky clean unproblematically stannable in order to be worth studying and remembering, and pretending that they were is no less disinformative than the European accounts painting them as godless savages.

yall DO realize that when tags on ao3 are like “abusive relationships” “homophobia” “racism” “consent issues/r*pe” they are there to protect you, right? you do realize that those tags being there lets you know that an author RECOGNIZES when something is wrong and is explicitly tagging that because it’s a story that discusses those things right? you do realize that the author is not *shudders* condoning those things, right?

Aww, man, periods are always a bitch <3

Hang in there, dear, get real cozy, eat something yummy or go to O town – I know I want blankets, sleep, sugar, coffee and dick, all at once when it hits me.

Flip

Flip is a doer and fixer. Since periods can’t be fixed and a lot of things are restricted, he has had to get creative in how he deals with it.

He enjoys the carnal aspect of your periods; the intense moods; when you’re weepy, he’s there to hold you – and rub on your ass for his own amusement, bouncing you on his knee softly till you feel better. When you’re angry, he’s there to tease you, so whether you laugh and give him juicy smooches or get angrier and yell, he gets hot and bothered either way.

He’s a great partner when the munchies hit, right there with you so you don’t feel self-conscious.

And when all the teasing and cuddling and ass rubbing gets to be too much, is when his favorite part begins.

Your boobs being tender just means to him they’re more sensitive, so he’ll tease and kiss and lick and suck until the discomfort is gone and you’re panting and ravenous for him. Since you try to keep it tidy most of the time, he’ll dry hump the bejesus out of you, laughing at himself when it’s over for grinding on you like a teenager, but feeling fucking incredible in the moment.

And everyone knows period week equals blowjob week, so he can’t complain.

Clyde

Clyde is unreservedly prepared to become your platonic bff when the unwanted monthly visitor makes an appearance.

Growing up with a badass, unapologetic sister, Clyde knows all about periods.

A hot water bottle is ready before it even hits – he can already gauge the changes in your behavior and he knows what’s up.

He loves it when you get all grumpy and sleepy out of nowhere; he’s already built a little nest on the couch, a pillow on his arm so you can rest your head there, his big hand cradling your aching belly and pleasantly warming it up, your favorite show playing on Netflix. You doze off sinking into the warmth of his embrace, pillowy lips kissing gently on your neck.

If he’s being honest, Clyde is not at all averse to the idea of spending a few days mostly in bed with his darlin’, cuddling, reading, watching feel-good movies and munching on those microwave mug cakes he got good at making for occasions like these.

If that certain mood does strike you in a non-negotiable type way, needing less platonic care-giving and more of a hands-on approach, Clyde is happy to put a towel down and dive in. It’s a whole new world and he ain’t never been one to say no to a lady, least of all his li’l lady.

Cancel culture is so toxic, especially because everyone is so quick to believe anyone these days without actual proof, just because they are words from a woman, or because it's trending on twitter. I never believed her; I'm so happy the truth has finally come out.

Day 7- Taste Tester

Pairing: Fili x Reader

The kitchen was filled with smells of cinnamon, apple, blueberry, and sugars. The heat coming from the oven made the smell push from the kitchen and into the halls of Erebor, drawing a few curious dwarves to the kitchen.

You see, you were a baker.

You loved to bake for family feasts, always being the one to offer up being the dessert bringer, always loving the looks on their faces when they took their first bite.

So, now that Erebor was restored and the holidays were coming around, you decided to bring some cheer to the kingdom.

Apple pies, blueberry cobbler, fudge, sugar cookies, chocolate peppermint bark, and much more laid out on the large kitchen counters as you pulled out a sheet of gingerbread men.

“What’s all this?” Fili asked as he walked into the kitchen, sniffing the delicious smells in the room with a content smile on his face. “I thought I’d do something nice for the holidays,” you explained as you set the rack down and set a timer so they could cool.

“Anything I can do to help you, Men Iananubukhs?” Fili questioned, wrapping his arms around you from behind as you washed your hands, pressing a kiss to your shoulder. “Well, everything is already done…Unless you’d like to be my taste-tester?” You asked with a smile as you dried your hands off.

��Of course darling”

Leather shoes are actually better for the environment because they last longer and break down better than plastic shoes.

The reason I am so critical of the “Well, I’m a minor!” excuse is because this defense is proof that an individual knew their behavior was wrong.

I have interacted with toddlers, children, and teens and never once have any of them defended their poor behavior with “Well, I’m a minor!”

Why? Because when it comes to how they interact with other people and how they judge them, an actual immature person who doesn’t understand the repercussions of their actions believes that people older than them would do the same thing. So, saying “Well, I’m a minor” doesn’t cross their mind because they don’t believe their judgement or behavior is exclusive to being a minor, they think they are doing what adults would do in that same situation. They usually explain their behavior with their reasoning, a reasoning they believe mimics the reasoning of older people.

If someone reacts to criticism with “Well, I’m a minor!” right out of the gate it indicates that they don’t believe an adult would do the same thing, which also means they have an understanding that their behavior or judgement was unsavory or inappropriate. They are now falling back on the excuse because they want to be able to continue to perform that behavior or issue that judgement without any repercussions.

They are manipulative. They know if they make a mistake, as all youths do, that people will think “Well, they’re young and stupid.” That’s not a bad thing. We all make mistakes, especially when we’re young and figuring things out. The problem is that instead of learning and growing out of continuously behaving poorly organically, they cling to it and actively use it to absolve themselves of any and all responsibility by consistently defending themselves with that excuse.

🛌 From the soft affections list with Kylo? 🥺

thank you for this ask, anon, i am obsessed with napping with kylo!

your chest still heaved with breath as you listened to the patter of kylo’s bare feet. heavy footsteps grew near as the irrigation of the ‘fresher hissed. the mattress slumped beside you. you no longer waited for his clipped orders to leave his quarters. it was some what of a routine now, this comfortable silence. you could get one in, and sleep soundly in the most comfortable bed on the ship without much more cost than wailing his name. 

you could lie here and breathe together, feel the tickle of static between the skin of your backs. the itch to touch him in this postcoital limbo dancing along your palms, your fingertips. 

this night, the static was more potent, the itch more like the impression of velcrow, waiting to be soothed by touch. flesh against flesh.

kylo rocked next to you, and suddenly his breath was rolling across the side of your neck. your lungs froze. kylo wiggled closer, almost tentatively, and the skin of his bare form leaned flush against you. 

inhale.

a hand coasted along your sides, your thighs, before both thick arms found their way around you. they wound around your waist as he pulled you into him snugly. 

exhale.

lips glided over your neck, brushing a most chaste kiss below your ear. he nudged his nose against your hair.

“kylo?”

he hummed.

‘For years, there’s only been one passenger waiting at the Kami-Shirataki train station in the northernmost island of Hokkaido, Japan: A high-school girl, on her way to class. The train stops there only twice a day—once to pick up the girl and again to drop her off after the school day is over.It sounds like a Hayao Miyazaki film. But according to CCTV News, it was a decision that Japan Railways—the group that operates the country’s railway network—made more than three years ago. At that time, ridership at the Kami-Shirataki station had dramatically fallen because of its remote location, and freight service had ended there as well. Japan Railways was getting ready to shut the station down for good—until they noticed that it was still being used every day by the high-schooler. So they decided to keep the station open for her until she graduates. The company’s even adjusted the train’s timetable according to the girl’s schedule. The unnamed girl is expected to graduate this March, which is when the station will finally be closed.’

Sometimes I wonder…

…if Manwë, the Vala of birds, performed a courtship dance for Varda.

(Maybe Varda rejected Melkor because he wasn’t a good dancer.)
