For real tho. He was hands down murdered by the police. A lot of notable figures from Ferguson were found dead in the same manner and police labeled them all suicides which ,as we all know, is complete and utter bullshit.
If we could get statues of anyone it really is Edward Crawford. If I can get in contact with a sculptor or some shit with permission from Crawford’s family I will set up the Fund Page in a heart beat.
Remember him. Edward Crawford. A profile in courage.
[ID: a twitter thread by
Gon with the wind….like Ging @Satirony:
Marriage betweeen a man and woman was built in a way that benefits men far more than women. This is well studied.
If you’re a man marrying a woman, you need to be cognizant of this and make sure you *overcompensate* in order to make things as egalitarian as possible.
I emphasize overcompensating because there are aspects of relationships between men and women that far more often than not result in women doing more, because we live in a patriarchal and misogynistic society.
So you need to make sure you’re consciously doing more to compensate for the unseen things that she will most likely be doing.
And this is especially true in societies in which women also work outside of the home (so the past several decades in most Western societies).
And I refuse to have a dynamic that my parents, like a lot of late Baby Boomers, had.
One in which both the man and woman work outside the house, but the woman still does most of the child rearing and cleaning at home.
I know somebody is eventually gonna assume I’m saying this with ulterior motives and ask something stupid like “did she pick you?”
The answer is yes, she did. I’m married. Now go reflect on your inadequacies as a partner.

In practical terms this means:
know who the family doctor is (as well as dentist, optometrist, etc.) and when everyone had their last appointment so you can schedule the next. This goes for pets as well
know your kids shoe sizes. Seriously, I had a coworker complain that her husband got too-small boots for their kindergartener.
do grocery shopping
based off the above, be aware of everyone’s allergies/intolerances/diets/personal tastes
know how to cook and do your fair share
know how to do laundry, dishes, etc.
know when the bills are due and pay some of them
take an active role in planning holidays, vacations, etc. and budgeting for them
know your kids friends so you can arrange playdates
know their babysitter so you can arrange childcare
if your spouse does the cleaning most often, know when they tend to clean and help out. Do they sweep every day? Do they mop once a week or once a month? Help with that
know the location of everything in the house (cleaning supplies, kitchen utensils, tax forms, etc.) so that if your spouse is away, you can run the household solo without having to ask constantly where everything is
take an active interest in your spouse’s life and your kids lives
Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.
Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.
But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”
Okay but…if someone wants to take me on a date to a Barnes and noble and get me dinner and a drink and then let me peruse the stacks like I’m not saying no. A sandwich, a beer, and 2-5 books on various topics I hope I’ll someday read about? Good night.
The Swedish equivalent of Blockbuster is now best known for its candy, snacks and sodas.
This is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an old theatre turned bookstore in Buenos Aires:
The stage itself was turned into a cafe:
You can’t even begin to comprehend the massive amounts of money this place makes, despite the fact that they turned the theatre boxes into reading nooks like this:
I’ve literally spent days holed up in there reading books for free while also consuming massive amounts of coffee and pastries.
I hate how on Tumblr, a username like lisa486 is almost certainly a pornblot, while someone named solidsnakesasscheeks is almost certainly a real person
Please stop breeding :) faces, they might be cute but they have trouble breathing. Please consider the :-) breed or the :^) breed instead. They have the same temperament as the :) breed but with none of the breathing problems.
Every time I see this I get the inability to read past “please stop breeding :)” and recoil a little bit in the shock from that
