more people (especially women) need to have zero tolerance policies in relationships (especially with men). you had to say no to sex more than once before he stopped? dump him. he called you a bitch? dump him. he ignored you when you were sick? dump him.
obviously this happens with other gender combinations too but so many men are like this, and so many women think it’s their job to improve these men. but you can’t train people into respecting you as a human being! you’re never gonna find the ones that actually respect you if you stick around trying to fix the ones who don’t.
Dr. Willie Parker is awesome and this gif set is well-timed on my dash.
Can we please have more of this? Let’s make sure the loudest voices on abortion are those in healthcare, and the women who have, or need them.

I discovered that buppy has been stealing plastic things and retrieving them to a sand pit.
EVIDENCE:
Lake Michigan
Ocean*
I mean, Lake Michigan is big enough to be a sea. All the Great Lakes are, they’re not considered seas because they’re not all at sea level, they’re all freshwater, and they’re not directly connected to the ocean (they’re only connected through rivers and lochs)
Small lakes don’t have noticeable waves but because the Great Lakes are so big there’s enough room for the air to downdraft across it (which is also why in Michigan you get lake effect weather and so it can be a blizzard one day and 70° the next)
My grandmother, who grew up in Puerto Rico, when seeing Lake Michigan for the first time with my grandfather exclaimed, “This is not a lake, it is a sea!”
Lake Superior has tides. They’re not as dramatic as the actual ocean’s of course. But still. For every storm that kicks up 200ft spray and waves that crash over the tops of the lighthouses on the piers, there’s days when you can’t tell where the water meets the sky.
Lake Superior doesn’t have a monster, Lake Superior IS the monster.
One aspect of Lake Superior that supports that its the monster is that it doesn’t give up the bodies of people who die in it. Due to the cold, the bacteria that produce gases that typically make corpses float in water don’t work very fast, and so they don’t bloat the body up enough for it to leave the bottom.
It’s a dangerous lake, prone to vicious storms and when it gets you, it holds onto your body forever, refusing to relinquish it back to the surface.
Lake Michigan is amazing! Here’s a pic I took in 2017 from atop one of the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Getting earth, lake, and sky in the same pic is actually quite challenging… and no, you still can’t see the other side even from way up there.
Call Gov. Whitmer and tell her not to negotiate with Enbridge. They want to put oil pipelines in these beautiful lakes.
