Shedd Aquarium in Chicago let penguins explore and visit other animals after it's closed to humans
I swear, someday I'm going to write a story in which every single character is named via illegible cursive that I find while filing.
Please now when other women come out with DV allegations don't you dare go "oooh it's the next amber heard". She ruined all the victims and put women back years in their fight against abuse. We should trust women when they sat they are victims of domestic abuse. But we should also trust men when they say they are victims of domestic abuse.
Also fuck Amber Heard.
I'm kinda meh about roof gardens/ grass roofs bc they can accumulate a lot of weight and collapse/ cause leaks
But living walls? Mighty sexy
They provide natural insulation, which not only keeps the heat in during cold days, but keeps the heat out during hot ones. It's better planned and maintained than vines (depending on the plant ofc).
Flooding in urban areas can be reduced since the roots and the growing medium will hold in moisture. Air can be purified, and heat can be reduced because of evaporation.
I just love living walls
One of the greatest lies the patriarchy has instilled into society is that, unlike men, women are allowed to show emotion.
Every single woman I know has been asked if she's on her period as a way to invalidate her feelings.
Every single woman I know has been told that she's overeacting because she's too emotional at least once.
One of the principal arguments against women in positions of power and leadership is that they're emotional creatures and therefore untrustworthy of those things.
Women get made fun of for crying at certain films, especially chick flicks.
Women aren't allowed to show emotion unless they show that they're happy and complacent.
Honestly I could care less about the fucking phone call - people are focusing too much on the he said she said when everyone should've been pissed at Kanye from the start for what HE DID.
On his famous mv Kanye portrays 11 celebrities (+ himself) naked on bed. And little has been said about Kanye deciding to exhibit naked people without their consent in a music video. And even less has been said about the fact that he decided to exhibit that same bed with the 12 silicone life-like, anatomically correct and BREATHING figures as part of a "pop-up art exhibition" in Los Angeles' Blum & Poe gallery, exhibition that was open to the public and Kim and Kendall advertised on social media.
TWELVE people: George Bush, Donald Trump, Rihanna, Amber Rose, Taylor Swift, Anna Wintour, Bill Cosby, Chris Brown, Ray Jay, Caitlin Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West himself. And we can assume that he probably had NO consent from TEN of those people. This figures were created by DONDA in collaboration with two Los Angeles studios that I wish I had the names of.
And guess who called Blum to get the exhibition done? SCOOTER BRAUN.
Scooter was part of Kanye's management team and he knew Blum beforehand. Blum said Scooter called him himself and that the reception of the "show" was extremely positive by all accounts.
KANYE PUBLICALLY EXHIBITED TEN PEOPLE NAKED WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT ON HIS MUSIC VIDEO AND A GALLERY FOR "ART" - THIS GOES BEYOND JUST TAYLOR (even though I agree she took the biggest blow) AND A GASLIGHTNING PHONECALL WITH A MANIPULATIVE ABUSER. HE ABUSED 10 PEOPLE. TEN. AND GOT PRAISED FOR IT WHILE TAYLOR HAD TO HIDE FOR A WHOLE YEAR BECAUSE SHE GOT HATE BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID.
Ok, so here’s my take on Hozier and his band wearing Catrín/Catrina makeup (I’m a Mexican living in Mexico, so yeah, I can talk abou this, just in case anyone was wondering):
I’m not gonna lie. My first reaction was “oh, he looks so good, he’s beautiful,” etc. But a feeling of discomfort was still there.
Here’s what he said about the painting at his concert:
I think he did it with respect and admiration, but… he could’ve done it better. He could’ve metioned Mexico explicitly, or Día de Muertos (I also think it was a mistake to do this on Halloween, ‘cause Día de Muertos isn’t Halloween’s equivalent or just a costume, it’s a culture and a tradition which is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.) I’m not really mad at him, but I understand the anger and sadness of other Mexican fans. He could’ve done it better.
What REALLY bothers me is people saying “nice Halloween costume!,” ‘cause that’s sheer ignorance. I’m also bothered by people who say we’re “overreacting” or “it’s not that serious.” IT IS. As I said before, that’s OUR culture. It’s a big fucking deal to us. FUCK OFF if you’re saying shit like that.
I don’t think he’s gonna say something about this, but it’d be great if he ever does. He could use his plataforms to educate people, especially American ones (yeah, sorry but that’s the truth), and it really makes me sad to know that’s probably not gonna happen.
SHE JUST DID THAT YASSSSSS @taylorswift doing whatever the HELL SHE WANTS BITCHES
