Stunning Landscape - Cappadocia, Turkey

The mysterious rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia make this region of Turkey one the most beautiful in the world. The rich history of this site can be told through the villages, subterranean churches and fortresses that have been carved straight into the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock.

Popular activities in the region include visits to the underground cities, viewing the ancient Christian cave art, seeing the “fairy chimney” rock formations, and taking sunrise hot air balloon rides for a view of the breathtaking landscape from above.

When I am certain everyone else in the world is following odditiesoflife I will not reblog everything she puts up quite so industriously….

Reno calls a domestic violence hotline: The MRA Reality Distortion Field in action | man boobz

Reno calls a domestic violence hotline: The MRA Reality Distortion Field in action | man boobz:

brute-reason:

So this MRA calls a domestic violence hotline pretending to be a man who’s being abused by his wife. He claims that the hotline refused to help him because he’s a man.

Actually, the counselor explained that he’d called a counseling line, not an actual shelter, but that she could connect him to a hotline for men that would give him and his young son a free hotel room. He refused and said that he wanted to call the police on his wife; the counselor offered to connect him directly to a police officer who specializes in domestic violence. He refused this too, and insisted that he wanted to be housed IN A SHELTER FOR BATTERED WOMEN SPECIFICALLY, even though he does not identify as a woman. The counselor continued to insist that he could get a free hotel stay if he let her connect him to the appropriate hotline. He kept refusing and finally ended the call without warning.

“Men’s rights” activism, folks.

What an asshole.

The whole “Men’s Rights” crowd would be hilarious, if they weren’t so goddamn infuriating.

This is one of just a huge list of problems I have with MRAs: they demand access to spaces created specifically for women. Being told that you can stay at a hotel for free isn’t good enough; he wanted to stay in the shelter specifically for battered women - a shelter that’s probably largely funded and staffed by women.

MRAs could start their own shelter for battered men. Have they?

This is fucking disgusting

That is just so fucking stupid I don’t even know where to begin. FUCKING ASSHOLE wants to be put in the same shelter with BATTERED WOMEN WHO WERE BATTERED BY MEN.

YOU SMARMY-ASS FUCKING DOUCHE. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR THINGS. YOU DON’T ENDANGER OR HURT OTHERS TO PROVE A POINT IN A SHITTY ASS WAY.

WHAT A DOUCHE.

Get some cheap dishes and break them when you get upset.

Learn how to say “NO” and don’t feel guilty about it

Buy something frivolous for yourself once in awhile, like a new hat.

Never again do anything you don’t want to do.

My friend thinks that thirty years from now, people won't read actual hard or soft cover books anymore. He thinks everyone will use e-books. PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU DON'T THINK SO. ACTUAL BOOKS THAT YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR HANDS ARE HOLY AND PRECIOUS.

Jo has spoken.

In a new school being built in North Dakota, there will be no library built along with the school. The superintendent deemed it unnecessary and decided the cost of building a library would not justify its use.

In late December of 2003, security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, a huge tudor castle near London, captured a startling image. Security guards were unsettled to repeatedly find a fire door open when no one was apparently around. Upon checking the security tape, they were shocked by a ghostly figure, closely resembling King Henry VIII (who died in the 1500s).

Vikki Wood, a spokesperson for the Palace, said “We’re baffled too—it’s not a joke, we haven’t manufactured it. We genuinely do not know who it is or what it is.” They aren’t a ppc company, or even a company looking to gain from this oddity; they are just as baffled like most people who look at this footage.

A security officer, James Faukes, called the incident “unnerving,” and said they’d ruled out their costumed guides. “In fact, they don’t even own a costume like the one worn by the figure on the video. It was incredibly spooky because the face just didn t look human,” Faukes said.

"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.”

-
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.
