#Marital Status

[exquisite-peculiarity]

I saw a poll asking about divorce, and now I'm curious, how many of y'all are or have been married?

This doesn't seem like a very married website to me, but let's see.

[ramp-it-up]

I wish I could write a fanfic the length of some of these think pieces about the wedding.

Who.

The fuck.

Cares?

The brief’s key findings are:

The value of Social Security’s retirement program to individuals is often measured by comparing expected benefits to payroll taxes.

But this approach ignores the program’s insurance value, which is larger for those with more uncertain lifespans.

The analysis estimates the insurance value using a lifecycle model for stylized households by race, education, and marital status.

Accounting for insurance value, the results show that the program is significantly more valuable than lifetime taxes for almost all household types.

Social Security’s insurance component also increases racial equity, because lifespans vary more among Black individuals.

Love knows no bounds, but the law certainly does. In the modern world, couples often find themselves at a crossroads when deciding between cohabitation and marriage. While both options symbolize togetherness, they come with distinct legal and financial differences. This article explores the intricate web of laws and finances that differentiate cohabitation from marriage, shedding light on the…

obviously the breaking bad cast was appropriately lauded and rewarded for their performances but none of those award-nominated scenes of drama and suspense and intensity compare to the Family Dinner From Hell in 5x06. anna gunn projecting an icy contempt that literally penetrates thru the screen and pierces the audience watching to the point that it's genuinely intimidating to make eye contact with her. bryan cranston visibly trying to puppeteer the two people in front of him with his mind, silently seething like an angry teen in the backseat who wants his parents to know that he's pissed. and fucking aaron paul literally reverting to ten years of age, making child of divorce-like attempts to break the silence and turn his parents' attention to himself instead of each other with compliments, then jokes, then finally giving up and hiding behind a glass of water so he can go to his mind palace. orson welles has been VERY quiet since this episode dropped.

it’s always kind of interesting to me to hear the sentiment that women were killed as witches for knowing how to read, because the colonies of england where the witch trial trend occurred in the late 17th century are arguably the region of the european world where female literacy was the MOST highly accepted and encouraged. those areas were colonized by protestant extremists who believed that failure to engage in the act of reading the bible is a sin, so if anything illiteracy would put you at greater risk of being accused of witchcraft

who's the father?!

pov: you're First Lady Livia Cardew and you're trying to figure out who's the father of your former classmate's daughter.

Or more importantly her marital status. For like reasons.

Totally not trying to get with her or anything.

Thanks Zain for suggesting Androcles haha

context of sorts(?):

in this AU, Clemmie has a daughter. Just showed up one day with a baby and told people, "Meet my daughter." Absolutely no mention of the father. And nobody comes out to claim the kid as theirs either.

High society continuously tries to figure out who the father is, unfortunately, the kid takes after her a lot in appearance. Sort of like Hector and Endymion looking nearly identical. Also the kid's surname is Dovecote. So another dead end.

`

Scandalized high society when she first introduced the kid as hers - would have been sometime when Max was still in power? (Felix is dead by this point, yes. Sorry Felix!)

Being Felix's kid is a popular theory, since having a kid when unmarried is a bit of a high society no-no. Yet Clemmie remains in good-standing and Max seems to hold her in relatively high regard. And lets the kid play with the other Ravinstill kids.

Many think -> being favoured = Mother of Felix's kid?

also if you pick other, let me know who you'd put forward as an option :)

[Lexi smelled him before he saw or heard him. At first, he thought is was Pandemonium, but then the vent clanged as a man with a half rotten green face appeared.]

'Wait, you're not seb-'

[Ooc he was coming to bother him lol

@undeadexpendable ]

...No, I'm his fiancé, why? Do you need him for anything?

[He turned around, and... He really decided against asking about the whole... Active decomposition thing. For his own sanity.]

girlie really said you all spent years publicly speculating on my marital status while I also did the same in private so now I'm going to force you to confront how that destroyed me ENJOY

thinking about my blorbos (the entire subculture of the telerin elves) again. does anyone happen to have any thoughts or headcanons on what they wear as swimwear? in my head different elven cultures have varying opinions on what's considered scandalous and some who are generally more "conservative" than others (i've seen a few people write about the noldor loving hair and considering touching it to be very intimate, for example, which i LOVEEEEEEE) and i like to think because most of their traditions and day-to-day life is spent near the ocean or swimming in it that they're a lot less bothered by nudity, but i'm not sure being naked would be practical all the time

i've tried to look up what people in our world used to wear before what we recognise as the swimsuit was invented, but all i could find involved veeeery heavy, uncomfortable garments meant to conceal women's bodies at all cost (and in some cases the men just went full commando) which doesn't match my thought process at all. as far as i can tell, there aren't a lot of fabrics that could mimic what we use in their time period and what they used as undergarments wouldn't be suitable in the water at all. if anyone has any thoughts PLEASE let me know i spend way too much time being bothered by this already
