Re-watching The Great British Baking Show, and a tiny spider just ran out from under a competitor’s shirt neckline and hid under her apron around her collarbone, and how does one not notice that???
IF YOU CAN READ THIS WITHOUT FEELING A WARM BUBBLE OF HUMAN JOY IN YOUR HEART I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR YOU
(Also I was so confused for a while because the OP totally missed a number in the thread but the story is so precious I forgive them)
This is adorable and hilarious!
Okay, so I found out more about this story/tale.
First, it is originally an Armenian folktale called “Clever Anaeet”. But I haven’t found more information unfortunately about the original story.
There is a version of it though in “The Fabrics of Fairytales” by Tanya Batt. It is actually a collection of various fairytales and is relatively short (80 pages according to Goodreads).
However, I think this post is referring to the picture-book adaption of the same story, “A Weave Of Words” by Robert D. San Souci.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to read it for themselves or look into this further.
@rejectedprincesses don’t you have an entry about this woman in your book or on your website? I feel like I read it somewhere…
Yep, right here! It’s based off an Armenian fairytale called Anahit, collected in 1881 by
This Twitter thread has been going around and I’ve been tagged a couple times – I suspect I need to do tweetstorms like this for RP entries, instead of just a couple pics and a link to the entry.
if you’re into BDSM and you like the submissive role, carefully screen potential dates. While you’re both excitedly discussing all the things he/she could do to you, ask them about their aftercare. If they’ve clearly never given it any thought, if they seem to not understand why it’s important, if they don’t want to talk about it, don’t fuck them. And definitely don’t date them.
If they have 1,001 ideas for how to hurt you, and 0 ideas on how to bring you back afterward, they’re not a good dom and you should avoid them.
I would go further than that and say that they are an abuser.
this is exactly the type of news i need in my life
Not cute, sorry.
This is from a photographer who puts reptiles in the fridge or freezer to chill them until they can’t move, then poses them like this. Otherwise the frogs wouldn’t line up neatly under any circumstances, and the caiman would immediately eat the frogs.
Why does Kolivan look like the perfect mix of Blaytz and the servant he flirted with???
Kolivan has the bumps on top of his head like the servant, he has markings on his chin like Blaytz, and his ears/hair? looks like Blaytz’s fins of the sides of his head. Also Kolivan is a little more blue than purple like other galra.
I walked to a deli and got a sandwich to go and a coffee and while I was waiting these two teenage girls ran up and were like OH MY GOD JESSICA HOW ARE YOU and then hugged me and the one whispered “that guy was following you and taking pictures of you” and then they walked home with me and that one guy stopped following me and hONESTLY THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR
Y’all I was at the river just hanging with my friend and these two high school girls run up to us and say “Can you pretend to be our friends? Cause this guy has been following us,” and we sat with them and they called their parents to pick them up and I really want to share that story cause it’s SO SMART and when you’re in crisis your mind can just blank in panic so I want everyone to have that story in the back of their heads. NEVER be afraid to ask strangers for protection!
Once in like ninth grade, I was at Starbucks by myself doing homework and this weirdo came and sat at my table and was telling me how he was a photographer and how he was “scouting” for models and he really liked my “look” and he was trying to ask my name and how old I was and I was panicking bc I didn’t know what to do Then this middle aged woman came up to us and was like “EMILY there you are sweetie I was looking for you it’s time to go home!” and the guy left really awkwardly and then she told me that she had a daughter my age and asked if I told him my name and I said no and she told me to be safe Keep an eye out. Protect each other
why do men have to be so goddamn creepy like shit dude
FOREVER REBLOG
no but guys, this works on campus too. if you’re in college and you notice a guy in class sitting too close and making you uncomfortable, make a female friend in the class. people always suggest guy friends as body guards, but men these days are less likely to physically attack you right away than they are to follow you or stalk you, and they’re more likely to do that if you’re alone often. so while it’s good to have guy friends on nights out at the bars, on a day to day basis, girlfriends work better. there’s strength in numbers, and i promise you, most girls will understand if you pretend to know them and quickly explain that you’re either being followed or someone is following them.
and that all being said, guys, if you wanna do your part, you can. you don’t have to pretend to be a boyfriend to help, you can pretend to be a friend, a cousin, a brother even, or a classmate that needs help with a homework assignment therefore needs her time and attention for long enough for the creep to give up. guys, please look out for your sisters, too. be a solution to the problem and set an example. maybe then this won’t have to be an issue.
The President charges his own Secret Service to use his golf carts.
The Secret Service also had to move out of their floors in Trump Tower because they couldn’t afford the lease.
THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL SECURITY DETAIL.
THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROTECT HIM AND HE’S CHARGING THEM AT HIS PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO DO SO.
The Secret Service is almost out of money. Trump spent in one year on travel what Obama spent in eight (not to mention profited off of it). They can’t afford to pay people their people to cover Trump’s huge family as they travel for work and go on vacation every week.
This is corruption.
This is unethical.
This is something we should all be mad as Hell about.
This was actually so insane to me that I figured I HAD to make sure it was real before reblogging it with no sources. It seems to be totally real.
