Pittsburghhhhhhh
National Geographic on Facebook: this is a facial reconstruction of a teenage girl who lived 9000 years ago based on her remains!
half the comments: men criticizing her looks and saying she’s unattractive and mannish
anyway this is the reconstruction and I always enjoy seeing the faces of prehistoric humans and how much we have in common over thousands of years despite how incredibly different our lives are. I support her and I think she looks wonderful.
everyone in the replies of this post saying “well I think she’s pretty!” missed the whole damn point lmao
I remember watching a documentary once where historians were trying to work out who a dead girl was and what her life was like. I’m pretty sure they dated the body back to the early Victorian era, and established pretty early on that she lived in poverty, died young, and was most certainly a prostitute.
The grand finale of the show was the reveal of her reconstructed face. Now, bare in mind that through their investigations they discovered that she had lived an awful life and died an agonizing death (syphilis iirc). So, you can imagine my disgust when the historians reacted with disappointment at the reveal of her ‘face’. This poor girl, who had suffered terribly, was obviously not the poor, tragic beauty they had been hoping for.
She was plain, maybe some would say she was ugly, but what was truly hideous was the fact that you could practically see the sympathy these historians had for this poor girl slip away as they looked at her ‘face’, and you could certainly hear it in their voices.
Even in death our value rests on the basis of our looks. Sympathy is conditional - based on where you fall on the looks scale.
Science: *gives us the miracle of seeing long-dead faces*

did U GUYS KNOW, that the way stores get the balloons off of the ceiling is with ANOTHER balloon, w tape on the top??? and they just dont cut the string so it’s like super long and u gotta aim it right n reel it in. i just found that out today when i DID IT and it’s been the best working day of my life i had a blast blowing up balloons and fetching some off the ceiling. i had so much power? and NO ONE ELSE in my department likes that job so now it’s MY job when need be
omg so I work at a museum and one of our buildings has a) very high ceilings and b) a bizarrely sensitive alarm system that will go off if anything touches the ceiling. Because of this, helium balloons are considered public enemy #1 and are strictly forbidden from entering the museum. But just in case an illicit balloon is successfully smuggled in, the museum has acquired a fucking b.b. gun for the express purpose of shooting down rogue balloons.
lawful good vs chaotic good
chaotic evil
This is disturbing.
Transcript of tweets by Michael Toledano:
Just spoke with a lawyer involved in the court process for the #Wetsuwetenstrong defendents. Several defendants were denied the opportunity to speak with duty counsel before appearing before the courts. It is unclear if everyone had an opportunity to speak to legal counsel.
Several people were not able to access legal counsel and were not legally advised as to the undertakings and terms of release they were expected to sign, before appearing before the court. This is a violation of section 10b of the Charter. #wetsuwetenstrong
Six did not sign conditions of release and were sent to Prince George correctional centre. They likely did not have legal advice to make an educated decision on the terms of release. #Wetsuwetenstrong
Lawyer told me they are gravely concerned that #wetsuwetenstrong defendants were made to appear before a judge and asked to make decisions affecting their liberty without legal advice. Violation of section 10b of the charter.
Good for her but also why is this image so funny to me
why have they got this actual child looking like a twice divorced accountant from Ohio?
they made her look like Edna
