RSSGestation period for horses is 11 months. *is a persnickety bastard*
However, I only went and looked that up after laughing for a good 20 seconds straight.
I already knew it. /o\ BECAUSE OF FIC REASONS, OKAY. (also this gif is great.)
Yeeeah, I knew it was eleven months too. ALSO BECAUSE OF FIC REASONS.
Aha, I already had a version of this in my queue where I had noted just that fact, but apparently the internet beat me to it! I also knew because of fic reasons. *sheepish grin*

SOPHIA. YOU NEED THIS.
There are some changes I would want to enact to satisfy my personal sense of style before wearing this (turn it into a skirt instead of shorts, and make the ruffles either go all the way around or not exist) but then YES DEFINITELY.

Colored an old genderswapped Hawkeye/Black Widow sketch (and yes I know the name Black Widow doesn’t make sense for a dude, I’m just too lazy to make up a name lol)

Top Ten: Martha Jones is Flawless
2. Journey’s End (4x13)The moment is easily one of my favourites ever, not just for Martha but in the whole Doctor Who series. Martha was in love with the Doctor, but when she shows up to help save the world and sees Rose, she’s just happy for them. No jealousy, no cattiness, just ‘oh my god, he found you,’ because Martha Jones is strong and so infinitely classy. After everything that she went through, after all the heartbreak, feeling like she was second-best, the year that never was - after all these things, Martha is just completely happy for him. To me, the amazingness of this scene was nothing to do with Doctor/Rose and everything to do with Martha Jones being one of the classiest and most flawless characters in Who history. It must have hurt her to see them together but she’s not jealous - she’s simply glad they found each other. Not many people are so wonderfully selfless and empathetic.
The thing some people don’t seem to realize about Martha Jones is that she bears no ill will towards her romantic rivals. Oh, yeah, she gets angry—at the Doctor, for sticking Rose up on a pedestal and using her as an excuse to snub Martha in completely unrelated situations. But I can’t think of any place where Martha lays in on Rose herself.
And for fuck’s sake, look at the way she interacts with Joan Redfern. She has every reason to resent Joan—she’s heartbroken that the fobwatched Doctor is falling in love with Joan and not her, the addition of romantic complications makes Martha’s job a hundred times more difficult, and Joan is constantly being a condescending douchebag and trying to keep Martha ‘in her place.’ And Martha? Doesn’t even appear to consider venting her spleen on Joan herself. She hates the entire situation and the Doctor’s failure to plan for it; why bother to take it out on some poor woman who’s fallen in love with an artificial creation?
And that’s Martha all over. She’s all about the task at hand. When the romance interferes with that, she’s not pleased. When the romantic unpleasantness is because Ten is a dick, she’s doubly displeased. But she has no instinctive bitterness towards the other women themselves.
I also just want to state for the record that I love how this scene features Rose’s instant Martha Jones Appreciation Society.
Woman 1: Christine, look— it’s the Black Widow!
Woman 2: It’s her all right— Madam Natasha! There’s a woman with her own mind— definitely the Gloria Steinem of the jumpsuit set.
And for the first time in many days— the Widow smiles.I’ve posted this before, it’s still like, top ten moments in comics, for me. So much of the discussion about female superheroes, today, reduces them to things for men to look at. And here’s this moment, from a time when feminism was this new-fangled, radical notion, that flat out embraces Black Widow as someone for women to look up to. And she draws power from this, and contentment.
Sure, yeah, superhero comics can be the fantasies of adolescent white dudes. But they can be everyone else’s fantasy, too— dismiss that at your own peril.

World hunger isn’t caused by a lack of food though. It’s caused by colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, etc. There is more than enough food on the planet to feed the entire planet, and this graphic is disingenuous as fuck.
Why is the steak shaped like Africa?
Dude, this. There are plenty of very good reasons for eating less meat, but this isn’t one of them.
well, i guess racist sentiments against natural black hair are deemed legitimate if Nivea can run a national ad campaign displaying a man throwing a decapitated afro with the caption “RE-CIVILIZE YOURSELF.”
Yes western imperialism. Still declaring everything different as “uncivilized” i see? COOL
civilized = upholding tenants of white standards of appearance.
oh.
welp
guess who isn’t purchasing Nivea anymore? not that i did, but it definitely won’t be on my list in the future.
