Clever way of getting his features in there

For the people wondering how I made those pancakes!

I literally just saw this on my dash this morning and then copied it. I just got creative with the designs is all.

You should try it out! It’s super fun and I giggled excitedly every time I flipped the pancake over for the reveal.

This is how I always make pancakes if I’m making them for myself. Who wants boring round pancakes? Not me, I say. I want a pony and an elephant and Mickey Mouse and my signature.

Awww yis, next cooking project acquired!

[TW: Abortion, Medical Abuse]

How can someone stand behind abortion, when you have a life inside of you that God created for you? How can you say that this life isn’t worth it? If you can’t take care of the baby for whatever circumstances than there is always adoption available to couples who can’t conceive, but still want the joy of being parents. OPEN YOUR EYES! God has bigger plans for us all that we don’t even realize the picture.

Excuse me but it appears your baby is actually upside down
Did you take Sex Ed freshman year because babies come out headfirst

Hi, OP!  As someone who was given up for adoption, allow me to call bullshit on your little post there!  You see, when I was adopted, I was a white-skinned, healthy, neurotypical infant, which basically put me at the top of the list, right underneath white-skinned, healthy, neurotypical MALE infants!  There’s only one kind of infant people wanted to adopt more than me!  I was SOOO lucky!  But if you actually bothered to look at the information readily available on the interwebs, you would be aware that the majority of people who are forced to rely on abortion for family planning are poor people and people of color.  Of course, those two demographics intersect, thanks to the institutionalized racism of our society!  Neat huh?!

Of course, even babies of color are not in high demand with couples looking to adopt.  Many who do want to adopt outside their race choose to go outside the country, where laws are less strict and the process is often less expensive.  Of course, most of the infants adopted this way are obtained in unscrupulous fashion, but who cares about that when you’re saving a little Korean or African baby from the horrible fate of growing up in Korea or Africa???  And all those children who have birth defects, are born with diseases or disabilities, or have other issues… WELL.  Who wants to invest that kind of expense and time?  Why would you adopt someone broken, LOLOL?!

Granted, there are some wonderful people who understand the system a little better, and make it a point to try and give POC and disabled children a good home.  But they make up a very small fraction of potential adopters!  This difference in supply and demand leaves a lot of children stuck in the foster system, where their chances of being adopted diminish with every passing year, and their chances of being physically or sexually abused INCREASE!  Isn’t that wonderful?

And of course, we haven’t even talked about the person who is giving birth to the baby!  I know you probably think pregnancy is a wonderful, happy time, and for some people it is, but it is also one of the greatest health risks a person can take. I love my son very much, and from the day I found out I was pregnant with him, I wanted him!  But I also nearly died giving birth to him.  You see, I had pre-eclampsia, the most commonly fatal birth complication in the world.  My blood pressure was 180 over 130!  At twenty-two years old, I was actually headed for a stroke, hah hah!  How funny is that?  And all it took was missing a single pre-natal appointment during which my blood pressure rose to dangerous levels and my body tried to kill both me and my son.  Those seizures sure were fun, as was the emergency c-section performed without anesthetic!  And being chained down while the operation was performed, because I was delirious and wouldn’t stop trying to fight off the doctors, that was a BLAST!  It was great for my husband too, since he almost lost his wife and child in just forty-five minutes.  You can imagine how thrilled he is at the prospect of me ever getting pregnant again.  Babies are certainly cute, but pregnancy can have massive health complications, and I know it’s such a bummer, but they are PERMANENT.  :(  My abdominal muscles never recovered from being hacked through with a scalpel, and the flood of hormones caused by late pregnancy have changed things from heartburn (never used to have it, now, all the time!) to my emotional reactions (I cry when I see pictures of kittens now.  I used to be tough).  These are changes I did not ask for, cannot control, and cannot fix!  And many people go through worse!  I know, right?  Unbelievable, but go look up the word ‘episiotomy’ and then look up ‘birth rape’ and I’m afraid you’ll find some stuff that just isn’t very shiny.  Plus, the studies actually show that people who carry a baby to term, give birth, then give it up for adoption suffer HIGHER rates of post-pregnancy complications like post-partum depression and post-partum psychosis, general depression, and other mental health issues.  Adoption actually isn’t good for the person giving birth at all!

I’m afraid the picture you chose to use there is also pretty disingenuous.  I know, I know, it seems like nitpicking.  I’m not trying to be mean!  :(  But that picture shows a fully developed, viable infant, and most abortions are performed when the fetus isn’t even a fetus - it’s a blastocyst.  That’s just a clump of cells.  Seriously! You can totally find pictures on the interwebs and they’re not even gross, LOLOL!  Later-term abortions are usually performed because of health complications, though some of our intrepid state legislators are trying to change all that!  They care so much about people who are pregnant, you see, that they want to force them to carry dead or dying fetuses inside them until their body either becomes infected while it rots in their tummies (this is called sepsis, and it makes people very sick, and can even kill them!), or forces it out naturally in a gush of blood and fluids!  Isn’t that so caring of them?  I’m so glad they’re around to make those decisions for me!  And if a pregnant person is not allowed to terminate an unviable fetus, in some states, they have to carry the child to term, give birth to it, and then watch it die in their arms because its lungs weren’t developed, or its brain formed outside its skull, or any of a million possible birth defects that will kill you just as quick as lickity-split!  Isn’t that wild?!  Of course, these people go through terrible grief, and as I mentioned, some of them may get sick and die from not being able to abort dead or dying fetuses.  But I guess that’s just A-okay with you, huh?

Basically, I think before you suggest adoption as a universal alternative, you should actually go do some research on adoption.  And before you condemn abortion, you should do some research on abortions - not the stuff your church is giving you, the stuff the real doctors are saying.  Go to Planned Parenthood (if they haven’t all been closed down, ROFLMAO!) and request whatever information they have on the process, the statistics of who has abortions and why… and actually, all of that is on the interwebs!  Isn’t technology AMAZING?

And in closing, since I’ve been asked this question many times and I know it’s coming?  Yes, I realize I am here talking to you because I was not aborted.  But the thing is, if my mother had chosen abortion, I wouldn’t know the difference, so it wouldn’t matter to me.  And if she decided that choice was best for her, then that choice would have been best for her, and I would never want to take that choice away from her.  As it is, since I was given up for adoption, and since I have seen the statistics on how badly people who give their children up for adoption suffer, I have spent much of my adult life worrying about her, whether she’s healthy, whether she’s okay, and feeling that if she did suffer from any of the common post-birth symptoms, it is at least partially my fault, even though she made that decision on her own.  Which is silly, I know, but at some point, all children have to stare down the consequences of their parents’ having them.  For some, that’s poverty.  For others, a life-time of their parents struggling to treat and care for a severe illness or disability.  For others, it’s wondering if their mother ever got over giving them away, and wishing you could reach out and assure her that it’s okay, she doesn’t have to be haunted.

May your birth control never fail!

Pro.

Sonneillonv deserves a mother fucking standing ovation here.

Slow clap.

Art request completed for my dearest Fattie~<3 

Description: Fili gets the urge to have an elf braid his hair.  Lindir is long-suffering, but politely agrees… and Kili decides he wants to know what an elf smells like (not much, he wagers, but it’s hard to tell).  Lindir thinks that’s awfully rude, and uncouth, but Fili steps in to try to soothe the ruffled feathers, only making things worse.    

After effect?  Lindir trots off in a huff, complaining to himself.  Fili and Kili are left completely perplexed!  ”What’s got into him?”  they wonder, and give it up for a loss.  Fili will just have to be satisfied with Kili braiding his hair.

“It’s all right, Fili.  Thorin would probably have killed you in the night, for wearing elf braids.”
“True enough, brother.  True enough.”

:|  No, I don’t know why he’s blushing with a strawberry.  I blame Pchat, and my fellowship-Fellowshoppers (you know who you are)…  Just enjoy a pocket-sized Fili >:| *toss fruits*

So I was just reblogging a picture of Thorin and I’m a bit drunk so I accidentally tagged it Thorin Oakenshelf.

Clean Eating Prep Ahead: Eggs in Muffin Tins. Simply spray a muffin pan with olive oil cooking spray ( or wipe down each cup with Olive Oil , crack an egg into the cup, add seasoning ( a dash of hot sauce,  salt & pepper, onion powder… ) and a few bits of leftover vegetables. In this case, leftover spinach. If you like, you can use a plastic fork to slightly scramble each egg in the cup.

Note how the most important facet of this story is not how she swam out and physically saved two people from drowning in a riptide at the risk of her own life, but that during the course of heroic physical activity in an outfit not designed for it, a tit slipped out.

Really? A nipple? A nipple made an appearance when she was dragging her son and a woman twice her size out of strong currents?

WELL HOLY SHIT, STOP THE MOTHER FUCKING PRESS

I HONESTLY THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE AN ONION ARTICLE AT FIRST

GOD DAMN

i think you are putting too much weight on the fact that they are reporting a nip slip in this article

because i mean the title has both? so its reporting both things? at the same time. you see? so its both. if it was like “heidi klum suffers nip slip” and that was it then itd be like wtf but it is saying both so i think youre just a little butthurt about a celebrity nip slip being a big thing in media

it honestly shouldnt surprise you anymore

‘gross sexism in media shouldnt surprise you anymore, stop being butthurt’

yeah,

okay,

My dearest sweet babby, who thinks we’re all too butthurt to see that this is just “normal”.

Allow me to explain to you a thing… with some bits highlighted and italicized, in case you are the sort who only likes cliff-notes when reading.

The ‘nip slip’, shouldn’t be important at all, for starters.  That is the whole point.  Maybe this shouldn’t be surprising to people anymore (honestly, I’m not surprised at all) but that doesn’t mean that it is responsible media coverage, or that it is right, or that people should not be upset by it, for reasons obviously beyond your comprehension, but let’s try.  This is rampant sexism in the media, which is bad, and there needs to come and end to this sort of nonsense.  There is a helpful link later, so do please read on.  

Yes, as you so helpfully point out, both things are mentioned.  So technically both are being reported, however, the way that it is phrased, with the nip slip first, makes it sound like the nip-slip is the most important thing we’re going to read about, when it is not important at all.  It sounds rather like the rest of the article could be about anything: “Heidi Klum suffers a Nip Slip

“-While GOING TO THE MOON”

“-While RIDING A DOLPHIN”

“-While GOING TO THE SHOPS”

“-While PARA-SAILING.”

Take your pick, because it could be anything, with a headline that puts the least important bit of information first, as if it is paramount to the occurrence being described.

They mention the ‘Nip Slip’… and then they mention the far, far more important act of heroism in which she RESCUED HER SON AND NANNY.

What would she think when the camera people ask: “How did you feel about your nip slip during this act of heroism?”

Probably, what she would think is “WHAT DO YOU MEAN NIP SLIP!?  I WAS SAVING TWO DROWNING PEOPLE, WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT.”

I think she would probably have done it if everything had fallen off and left her nude!  Because being nude or having a ‘nip slip’ doesn’t matter when you’re SAVING SOMEONE’S LIFE IN AN ACT OF SELFLFESS HEROISM.  Because she is a woman, the act of Selfless Heroism is being downplayed due to a little skin shaking free in the process.  Skin that should not even really make that much difference, but has been oversexualized.  I will refer you to a previous post I reblogged, wherein we discuss why a woman’s nipple or breast showing really shouldn’t be headlining news.

Now stop tacitly supporting rampant sexism by not caring about rampant sexism.
