It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same—everywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another’s existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same—people who had never learned to think but were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world.
I have no words, Except.
Always always be aware of your actions. There is always a consequence.
As someone that lives with rabbits, this picture haunts me beyond words. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Please, please, please choose cruelty-free for ALL animals sake. They don’t deserve this. No one does.
This is a picture of an Animal Testing Facility.The reason they use rabbits for animal testing is because they are the only animal who can not flush chemicals out of their eyes without using aids like water or their paws.
Next time you buy cosmetics or hair spray or anything in the beauty section - choose the brands that are NOT tested on animals.Here’s a hint: Loreal are the worlds biggest cosmetic animal testers, and Garnier is a sub-company of Loreal.
If you have trouble finding out who tests on animals and who doesn’t, google is at your fingertips.
there are so many cruelty-free options out there, yes it may be more expensive but a few extra dollars means you don’t have to support atrocities like this.
There is no excuse.

Dating Science: Do Feminists Make for Better Girlfriends? →
You know what’s a fun topic to bring up on a first date with a guy? Feminism. Once you get hard-lined religious and political beliefs out of the way (preferably in the car, on the way to date destination or maybe during the appetizer if you must wait that long), I highly recommend you toss out a couple of Betty Friedan or bell hooks quotes, and see if the gent picks up on it and responds with an appropriate Simone de Beauvoir reference. Or maybe just ask how much money he makes as a good segue into discourse on the gender pay gap or a nuanced debate on whether the ‘glass ceiling’ still exists for today’s young women. Awkward silences — not gonna happen, guaranteed.
Sounds crazy, right? What heterosexual woman in her right mind would dare broach the topic of feminism on a first (or second, or third…) date? Somewhere along the way, we collectively misconstrued the fight against unequal gender roles as an argument against romance. So while feminism encourages women to develop quite possibly the most attractive traits people can possess — confidence, intelligence, self-sufficiency, etc. — we’re socialized to tuck it away, lest risk frightening some poor fellow away. As a result, plenty of men and women alike embrace feminism’s basic tenets of gender equality, yet fear identifying with it directly due to its negative stigma. But closet feminists playing the dating game might be shooting themselves in the foot by not letting that light shine a little brighter.
A 2007 study from Rutgers psychologists concluded that feminism benefits women in romantic relationships as well as the men. And for an added bonus, feminist lovin’ couples also reported more satisfaction between the sheets. Win-win!
The psychologists polled roughly 600 heterosexual undergrads and older adults to compare participants’ beliefs about feminism and their relationship health. According to the survey results, men’s feminism had a stronger correlation with positive relationship health than women’s feminism or participants’ perceptions of their partners’ feminism. Therefore, a woman’s feminism doesn’t make or break the romance at all. It’s the feminist men out there who are relationship revolutionaries. After all, they identified more strongly with partner equality, which predicted greater stability and sexual satisfaction.
So maybe tossing out a Steinem reference over cocktails isn’t such a terrible idea. Because while feminists make for fabulous girlfriends, they make for even better boyfriends.
Haha YESSS
I hope this doesn’t surprise any of you…
