Edit: Thanks everyone for all the love 🙂 This post has gotten very popular.

These bats are almost a year old now and sold a long time ago. I still do make the bats, but they do sell out quickly so if you’re interested I advise you follow my page and watch for updates.

There is a Kickstarter running for galaxy bats!

You can also get the pattern for this bat as well as other bat goodies from my store.

These things are sooo cute and I HAD to share them. They combine my two main loves. Bats & Space!! Heed the creators word above if you want to purchase!

Nevertheless, She Persisted

Fucking Senate Majority Leader Mitch Fucking McConnell when he banned Senator Elizabeth Warren from speaking in the U.S. Senate re: Jeff Sessions when she dared read the words of Corretta Scott King.

Feb 7, 2017

May we all fucking persist when shitbirds like these 49 cowards silence women for speaking out against racism, when our elected officials shrink at the words of a woman like Coretta Scott King.

Watch what happened: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/07/politics/elizabeth-warren-mitch-mcconnell/

Man eating rice, China, 1901-1904

this is an extremely important picture

Ive never seen someone from 1904 having fun omg

He has a nice face

No but the history behind this picture is really interesting

The reason that everyone always looked miserable in old photos wasn’t that they took too long to take. Once photography became widespread it took only seconds to take a picture.

It was because getting your photo taken was treated the same as getting your portrait painted. A very serious occasion meant so thst your descendants would know that ypu existed and what you looked like.

But one time some British dudes went to china to go on an anthropological expedition, and they met some rural Chinese farmers and decided to take their pictures. Now, these people weren’t exposed to the weird culture of the time around getting your photo taken, so this guy just flashed a big grin during the photo because he was told to strike a pose and that’s the pose he wanted to strike.

man laughing alone with rice

It took him 3 years to eat rice

Senator Elizabeth Warren was blocked from reading parts of this letter tonight. Please read and share widely.

The Republicans didn’t want this letter from Coretta Scott King to be read on the Senate floor.

So we will read it now.

Ourselves.

And we will pass it on to 100 friends. 

And we will plaster the Internet with it!

The Republican controlled Senate may have voted to silence Senator Elizabeth Warren, but they can’t silence the words of Coretta Scott King.

If you ever wondered why 5 million women marched, look no further than one of the most respected female US senators being told to shut up and sit down for reading the words of Coretta Scott King.

trump is having a total meltdown over the idea of him not being 100% in charge of his bullshit orders and i’m loving it 

Why is he still tweeting from his personal account instead of from @ POTUS? It’s almost like he doesn’t think he’s president either.

“What is this country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban”
Yes, what is this country coming to when it’s citizens in power actually uphold the morals of their position and do their jobs effectively even if it goes against what I want

What is this country coming to when… anyone, even with bad intentions, can be president of the U.S.?

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW ON POINT EVERYONE IS HANDLING THIS CASE.

THIS. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE LIKE ALWAYS

I have such conflicting emotions like I am impressed to the verge of tears and yet that saddens me because this should be the damn default like wtf

the difference in their pictures is what’s making me feel, they used the cops mug shot and Mr. Scott’s service photo this is a dream

^^^^^^^^^
didn’t even think of that. crazy how something so small can make such a huge impact

now they need to go back and fix the cases they fucked up and make this the status quo aka justice
