Writing Tip June 4th
A list of body language phrases.

I’ve included a very comprehensive list, organized by the type of body movement, hand and arm movements, facial expressions etc. In some cases, a phrase fits more than one heading, so it may appear twice. Possible emotions are given after each BL phrase unless the emotion is indicated within the phrase. (They are underlined for emphasis, not due to a hyperlink.)

Note: I’ve included a few body postures and body conditions as they are non-verbal testimony to the character’s physical condition.

Bill Cipher and fan OC Buck Cipher, chibi I guess.

I forbore mentioning his earlier reaction to a gardeners bigotry. It wouldn't have done any good. Folks always believe their own racism is the result of divine inspiration, incontestably valid.

Millie and Charlie having some 'couple time'.

So people complain about millenials, calling them a bunch of stupid, clueless teenagers.

The problem with that is, most millenials were born between 1980 and 2000.

So, millennials are generally young adults suffering from a failing economy and a failed educational system, being portrayed as clueless children by the people who broke the economy and the educational system.

I hate when people say, “oh, those aren’t real feminists.”

When people say they’re a feminist, they’re a feminist, since the ideology has no joining rules, anybody can call themselves feminists.

The people that state d the kill all men hashtag are feminists.

The people who actively preach misandry are feminists.

TERFs are feminists.

The people who believe in equality are feminists.

That’s why the community is becoming so toxic, it’s because there are all these bad apples, and they make up the majority, causing the people who believe in equality to not be heard.

If feminism cares no one else needs to.
If feminism doesn’t care no one else should.

That's the message that seems to get around, because whenever MRAs and Feminists seem to share a concern, feminists became even more dismissive of MRAs.

Study finds that 1 out of 3 women watch porn at least once a week (http://nytlive.nytimes.com/womenintheworld/2015/10/22/study-finds-that-1-out-of-3-women-watch-porn-at-least-once-a-week/)

“In the survey, 31 percent of the women said they watched porn every week, another 30 percent said they did so a few times a month and 10 percent of respondents gets a daily fix.”

American girls are the world’s biggest consumers of Pornhub lesbian content (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/11/18/american-girls-most-likely-to-search-lesbian-on-pornhub/)

Bringing up toxic masculinity (a sexist term by itself) on a post about male suicide always sounds like:

“They keep killing themselves because a part of their identity that they can’t ever change is literally poison so just like.. be less.. you...”

When women suffer because society expects them to behave in a certain set of ways, or because society doesn’t understand their needs and pains, feminists are eager to call it oppression.

Yet when this happens to men, they insist on using a term that casually places the blame on the victims.

And then they proclaim they are helping.

Also, women don’t attempt suicide more, that's fucking bullshit.

That claim comes from here (https://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/), which has this in the fine print:

“494,169 people visited a hospital for injuries due to self-harm. This number suggests that approximately 12 people harm themselves for every reported death by suicide. However, because of the way these data are collected, we are not able to distinguish intentional suicide attempts from non-intentional self-harm behaviors.“

You know what that means? It means if you, say, smash your thumb with a hammer, thats counted in this statistic as a suicide attempt. Stub your toe? tear off a nail? All counted as suicide attempts by this statistic. My little sister broke her finger by jamming it into a metal pole and trying to pole vault. On her chart, it was counted as self-harm because she did it to herself by accident, and that was thrown into the pool of suicide attempts as all self harm is.

Men commit suicide at 4x the rate of women and every time it’s brought up you cunts want to cry about ‘b-but women TRY more!’ but we don’t, we never have, and your lack of fucking compassion is sickening.

Ironically, the only people I have ever heard say "boys will be boys" in my lifetime are feminists saying that other people are using it as rape apology.

Apparently, they found that rape is negatively correlated with amount of porn watched. In other words, the more porn people watch, the less people feel the need to go out and rape someone. Food for thought, I suppose

What if i told you that a lot of “Americanized” versions of foods were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are not “bastardized versions”

For example, Chinese-American food is a really good example of this and this article provides a good intro to the history

http://firstwefeast.com/eat/2015/03/illustrated-history-of-americanized-chinese-food

In fact, many Italian immigrants came from the south (the poor) part of Italy, and were used to a mostly vegetable-based diet. However, when they came to the US they found foods that rich northern Italians were depicted as eating, such as sugar, coffee, wine, and meat, available for prices they could afford for the very first time. This is why Italian Americans were the first to combine meatballs with pasta, and why a lot of Italian American food is sugary and/or fattening. Italian American cuisine is a celebration of Italian immigrants’ newfound access to foods they hadn’t been able to access back home.

"WRONG
That calf is wearing a nose tag. Nose tags are put on calves so that they are able to stay with their mothers longer, but are unable to nurse. They don’t NEED to nurse as they get older, they just get greedier and pushier and will bash up the cow’s udder and bruise it with their noses.
Based on fur texture and face shape, that calf is at least six months old, probably older. Calves can survive without actual cow milk even at three months, though older is better (calves weaned that early are usually fed a sort of formula for another couple months).
Also, nose tags like that one don’t go through the cow’s septum. They basically work like those fake septum rings for humans.
In addition to weaning the calves, another use for nose tags is protecting non-lactating cows. Sometimes weanlings or even adult cows will suck on themselves or other non-lactating cows; this can cause internal teat scarring bad enough to prevent that teat or teats from ever working. It’s ugly, probably at least somewhat painful, and, if bad enough, would lead to the cow being slaughtered at a very young age because she can’t produce milk, has chronic mastitis, and/or can’t be milked with automatic milking equipment. So, nose tags actually prevent animal cruelty.
Most people don’t realize that in farming areas agriculture/horticulture/animal husbandry is part of public school education from as early on as 7th grade. Fifteen year old farm kids know more about what constitutes animal cruelty in farms than thirty year old vegans with, or without an agenda.
Also. if you really want good quality beef/pork/eggs/milk/etc you don’t abuse your animals. Ever. That’s not the point and if you want to make any kind of money off your career choice, you are going to treat those creatures better than you treat yourself. You’ll call a vet five times for an infection in your herd before you visit the hospital for a missing foot on your own leg.
Also this is a LOT nicer than what mother cows do to calves that won’t be weaned. You know what mother cows do to calves that won’t wean? kick them in the head. Now I don’t know about vegans, but I’d rather have a nose tag that discouraged me from injuring my mother (because calves that don’t wean tend to chew on udders and make mother cows bleed) rather than being kicked in the head."

Happy 4/20

Men who are accused of rape on a University campus can have their right of due process and trial by a jury of their peers stripped from them. In place of it, they can then be “convicted” by the university if the investigating body believes there is a 50.0001% chance that the man committed the rape.

https://studentactivism.net/2011/07/21/preponderance-of-the-evidence/

In addition, the accused is not allowed to seek any outside legal counsel, also taking away his right to an attorney. what this means is that men are literally stripped of constitutional rights to an actual investigation and can have their entire life ruined just because some dumbass sorority girl falsely accused them. and lets be real here who do you think they’re gonna side with? thats right. the girl. nobody’s gonna side with a college guy. people already think they’re the scum of the earth right? and now they’ve got some poor girl with crocodile tears enforcing that belief. that guy is pretty much fucked.
