Missouri says pregnant women can’t get divorced even in domestic abuse situations. Unfuckingbelievable. Unless you want this shit nationwide, check your registration and make a plan to VOTE.
Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.
The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.

everything about this is perfect. the knocking/rattling getting louder as he comes down. the person filming giggling as they realize whats happening. the ragdoll physics as his nuts grind against the edge of the slide & he shoots out like a banana squeezed out of its peel. 10/10
A couple days ago during the storms, someone posted this of their husband “saving their willow tree” in my local gardening group. This picture now lives rent free in my head and will spontaneously send me into an absolute FIT of giggles
