Is “Bitch I might be” tumblr’s thing of the week then
bitch it might be
Julie D’Aubigny was a 17th-century bisexual French opera singer and fencing master who killed or wounded at least ten men in life-or-death duels, performed nightly shows on the biggest and most highly-respected opera stage in the world, and once took the Holy Orders just so that she could sneak into a convent and shag a nun.
(via Feminism)
bisexual opera singer who killed ten men and snuck into a convent to shag a nun.
Just so y’all know, she later set that convent on fire so she and that nun could sneak out. And she seduced one of the men she’d dueled.
Also, dueling was a serious crime during her life, but the king of France essentially overturned her conviction on the grounds that the relevant law specifically referred to men.
how has there never been a million stories about this badass
future olympic swimmers
Wonder if they think they are in womb again
babies can swim, yet my grown non-swimming ass just wades in the water
is this cgi?
if it isnt, this is kinda scary
nope, that’s real. babies are born knowing “how” to swim. it’s like any other skill if not used frequently, you lose it.
This is scary, though. I mean, when you’re in the womb, you’re breathing through your umbilical cord, aren’t you? And one of the reasons babies cry at birth is the shock of breathing through their noses and mouths for the first time (correct me if I’m wrong).
But it explains why infants are naturally-inclined toward water. I wish my mom had known that. She can’t swim.
If “swimming in utero” were the reason why human babies can swim immediately at birth, all mammals would be able to swim at birth. That’s not the case.
Humans are the only great ape that can swim and and the only great ape that does not fear deep water. We are almost as powerfully adapted to living in the water (especially mild tropical water) as we are to living on land. Our species, especially the female, is capable of incredible deep-dives for a land-based mammal (few other mammals that can swim at all even try to dive.) If we spend enough time under water, we can consciously learn to focus our pupils to compensate for refraction, allowing us to see as well under water as we do above it - thereby, allowing us to hunt under water. Except for humans, only aquatic mammals possess collapsible rib cages. We have greatly enlarged spleens, an organ which in diving mammals functions as a built-in oxygen storage tank. We have virtually no pelt whatsoever, no matter how far northern our ancestors. Salt is a precious substance to land-based mammals, yet we cry salty tears. No other land mammal possesses white blubber - you know, the layer of subcutaneous fat we love to hate - just us. We possess the mammalian dive reflex (to the degree that it is actively used by first responders to save the lives of drowning victims.)
We didn’t evolve on the savannah. That hunter-gatherer bullshit is a crock contrived by men to stand in as the evolutionary basis of male supremacy. The fossil record does not support that hypothesis as having actually happened, and the majority of our evolutionary adaptations dramatically contrast it. In reality, we probably spent most of the seven million years we’ve been evolving on the shores of tropical beaches, where food - in particular, protein - is easy to come by if you’re an opportunistic eater with a strong natural resistance to mild toxins (like all simians are), and predators are relatively scarce and or easily escaped (just get out of the water.)
i’ve seen ultrasounds in which a fetus is yawning… i’m thinking that is the intake of air, no? or intake of oxygenated fluid?
Next evolution: mermaids. Let’s work hard to become mermaids, everyone.
JUST SAT HERE AND WENT WOAH FOR THIRTY SECONDS LAJFKJAFHLK
IM SCREAMING
I like jumped in my seat the moment I say Daniel’s face. It’s fucking cray.
I’ve already reblogged this, but I was just struck by how much I love the idea that Draco became a healer. Sure, it could be seen similar to the doctors in the muggle quietus in which there is a lot of money, but I see it more as him choosing to help people and that’s who I always imagined he could be outside of the influence of his family’s expectations. I’m sorry, but I’ve got feels now. Please excuse me.
