more random materials from CURSE/KISS/CUTE, upcoming queer nature-themed monster-liker web novel which is (actually) almost ready to launch, and WON’T!!!! get me banned from tumblr to continue showing off (Prayer)
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had.
It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!
not that incels and the like aren't a problem but im tired of anytime anyone brings up men & systemic issues people responding with "um that doesn't mean they get to KILL PEOPLE????" yeah true. did you know other men exist and also deserve to be discussed. "who cares about male loneliness it's just an incel excuse–" whoaaaah crazy idea but what if by only talking about MRAs when the topic of men's issues comes up you actually help MRAs recruit vulnerable people because they appear to be the only group taking these issues seriously.
In honor of Black History Month, let’s learn about Henrietta Duterte, the first African-American funeral home owner and first woman to own a mortuary – a mortuary that was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
(Reposting for algorithmic reasons)
Abolitionist, philanthropist, and wife of a Haitian-born coffin maker, Henrietta took over her late husband’s funeral home in 1859, becoming the first woman undertaker, not just in Philadelphia, but all of America.
She became known as an undertaker who was quick, empathetic, and served folks of all walks of life. (Side note, prior to this, she was a talented tailor who wore striking capes, cloaks, and hats, and I just think that’s iconic.)
Henrietta was an agent of the Underground Railroad, and would use her mortuary resources to hide runaway slaves in coffins and disguise them in funeral processions to help them pass safely through the city.
She also raised funds for a variety of institutions in Philadelphia’s Black community, including churches and nursing homes. By the time of her death in 1903, at the age of 83, Henrietta’s mortuary had become one of Philadelphia’s most successful businesses.
In the only surviving photo of Henrietta Duterte, she is clad in black, holding her recently-deceased child in her arms – a post-mortem photo meant to serve as a family keepsake in honor of her child. There is a grief about her, and a strength.
Seeing a lot of people say James Somerton "stole" Hbomb's title and like. friends this isn't stealing. It's just a phrase. It's not intellectual property.
What this is, is James trying to be clever. He's trying to be witty, flippant even. James thinks this is A Clapback.
