Broadcast Safe: WHY WE NEEDED HENRY POLLARD

The first time I reblogged this it didn’t show Adam Scott’s terrible face.

I have a huge crush on Adam Scott. I think. 

PARTY DOWN.

okay, but it kind of is, right? i know this is going to make me sound kind of neurotic and like a total hypocrite but femininity isn’t really um, good. femininity is a learned, cultivated, practiced set of behaviors. it’s not natural or “a part of being a woman” it’s not something that women just are. if you can’t be feminine without a host of products and regimens that are painful and expensive, (and don’t actually enhance you beyond the point of making you more palatable to the ever encompassing male gaze) then, uh, it isn’t exactly something that you naturally exude, yeah? being feminine just makes you patriarchy compliant. like, “oh, hey! no don’t worry i’m not taking that feminism thing too seriously, see? i’ve still got makeup and heels! they are respectively carcinogenic and hideously uncomfortable but it’s worth it to get the approval that comes from appeasing the oppressor!”

and i mean, i’m not saying i’m immune to/don’t do this. i totally do. but i’m realizing that probably i shouldn’t? it’s really hard to stop when literally your entire life you’ve been taught to desperately seek out these little head pats and the brief acknowledgement that maybe you’re being a woman - performing femininity - correctly. it’s easy for the condescending approval to become like, a primary objective. but i think it’s kind of harmful to say explicitly that “femininity is not anti-feminist” because femininity is a construct built around the idea that one: there are two things, men and women, and they are opposites. and two: the ladies are inherently worth less than the dudes. which is the opposite of feminism.

Pour Spout Mason Jars

When finished with an empty cardboard salt container, cut the whole round top piece off and measure to fit a canning jar ring. Trace and cut with the flat part with scissors to fit a pint canning jar. Fill the jar with sugar, then cut a second one from a second empty salt container for non-dairy coffee creamer, spices, or flour. The pour spouts make for easy access to your sugar and creamer.

*If desired, half pint jars can be used instead of pint jars.

The Amber Room  in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo near Saint Petersburg is a complete chamber decoration of amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors. Due to its singular beauty, it was sometimes dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World”.

Before it was lost, the original Amber Room represented a joint effort of German and Russian craftsmen. Construction of the Amber Room began in 1701 to 1709 in Prussia. The room was designed by German baroque sculptor Andreas Schlüter and constructed by the Danish amber craftsman Gottfried Wolfram and remained at Charlottenburg Palace until 1716 when it was given by Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm I to his then ally, Tsar Peter the Great of the Russian Empire. In Russia it was expanded and after several renovations, it covered more than 55 square meters and contained over six tons of amber. The Amber Room was looted during World War II by Nazi Germany and brought to Königsberg. Knowledge of its whereabouts was lost in the chaos at the end of the war.

THEY LOST THE FUCKING ROOM

i have totally been here! the russians reconstructed it. after the germans, um, stole it and completely destroyed the palace in world war two.
