LOOK AT THIS ADORABLENESS
ASDFGHJKL; I AM DEAD
Hi. Don’t forget about Chechnya. This LGBT concentration camp has been open since early 2017, maybe even earlier than that, and the UN has yet to acknowledge its existence. Hundreds of Russians in the LGBT community have died since the existence of this camp surfaced in news headlines in March/April. Educate yourselves. Figure out what you can do to help.

Thanks for the question, Anon.
Hard to say. Lyanna seems to have been betrothed around 279-280 AC – she had already heard about the conception and, possibly, birth of Mya Stone, which happened in either 279 or 280 AC, but she was Robert’s fiancée by the time of the Tourney of Harrenhal (and according to Yandel, had “long been betrothed” to Robert, which perhaps suggests 279 AC as the true date). At the time she absconded with Rhaegar, Lyanna would have been about 15, definitely not too young by Westerosi standards to be wed, and again, would have already been betrothed for 2, maybe 3 years. Given that Brandon seems due to have been married in 282 AC, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rickard was planning two weddings that year – first Brandon’s to Catelyn at Riverrun, then Lyanna’s to Robert at Storm’s End. Not only would it be a year of triumph for House Stark, but perhaps Rickard felt that, after the scandal of the Tourney of Harrenhal with Rhaegar all but proposing Lyanna become his mistress, there could be no more waiting to give Lyanna to Robert; Rickard would see Lyanna wedded straightaway, lest there be any suggestion that the crown prince had sullied Lyanna’s virtue and Robert subsequently reject her as a bride. This may in turn have put pressure on Lyanna, and fed into why she ran off with the crown prince: if she knew her marriage was close at hand and wanted out of it, she might have jumped at the chance to have Rhaegar free her from this close-looming obligation.

Just a note – Mya had definitely been born by this point. Ned had held her before and that was why he couldn’t deny her existence – that, and the fact he refused to lie to Lyanna.
So like please don’t buy nautilus shells they’re actually going extinct, largely because we kill them for their shells. They’re really cool little dudes but they’re not recognized as endangered because we “don’t know enough about them”, despite it being pretty clear to anyone who works with them, scientist or fisherman. Near nobody knows about this, so please be kind to these little guys and maybe spread the word?

PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS
THERE IS HOPE
It’s unlikely Trump’s administration will sign it – he’s said he wouldn’t.
You should try anyways.
The Senate’s push to overrule the FCC on net neutrality now has 50 votes, Democrats say
Nobody’s immune to breast cancer.
Best. Ever.
Get that on your blogs. NOW.putting this on my blog for reasons.
Reblogging for similar reasons.
[This is fucking awesome.]
OOC: Very good idea!!
still my fav
OKAY LISTEN UP BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN AND MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW
It’s the inclusion of Storm. (Storm? Pretty sure that’s Storm.) And in a way where, yes, representation saves lives.
See, here’s a weird medical fact: black women are more likely to get breast cancer and nobody knows why. It’s a medical mystery. Now, I want you to do a fun exercise: tell me the last time you saw a breast cancer awareness campaign that included black women. Go on, I’ll wait. Speaking as someone active with the cause whose aunt is even more active with the cause, here’s my answer: In eight years of working for awareness across four states, I have never seen a single black woman in any breast cancer campaign. Ever.
Black women are also more likely to die of breast cancer because they’re less likely to catch it early. That’s not genetics, that’s math. The sooner you begin treatment, the better your prognosis. Black women are less likely to know how to do self-exams and because of the socioeconomic divide, less likely to see an OB/GYN annually. And they’re ignored by awareness campaigns.
Tell your black friends. And spread this like wildfire. Because they are more at risk than you are.
I’m going to put it very frankly. America has decided that its guns are more important than its children, and in the process has defeated the purpose of the bill of rights in the first place.
Well, the NRA, Second Amendment fanatics, and the Congresscritters who get money from gun lobbyists have decided that guns and the money they bring in are far more important than mere people. The majority of Americans now favor more gun laws. We just can’t do much about it.
My only advice is to call your reps and senators and demand more gun control. It probably won’t result in change quickly, but it might help.
We basically ignore school shootings now, because we will do nothing to stop them
Okay, soooo as a black person, I’ve never had sunburn. Since I’m going to Puerto Rico & it’s hotter annnd i have this thing where if i get toooo hot, I’ll possibly have a subtle allergic type reaction (rare) i decided it would be wise to get some sunscreen…..i stood in the sun screen aisle for 10 minutes not knowing what brand to get or anything. Then i remembered, well of course I’ve never payed attention to the commercials, they don’t advertise to me anyway. Then i turned the corner & saw this. Thank you Palmer’s because no other brand made this statement. -Rena

Actually just for the record, black people can definitely get melanoma! and because of the misconception that people with darker skin tones don’t sunburn, and the fact that suntan lotion is almost never advertised towards anyone besides white people, african american men are, while less likely to get melanoma, more likely to die from it than people with light skin tones. So please wear sunscreen!
Just because the sun doesn’t burn us does not mean it doesn’t harm us
UV rays is harmful to everyone even for those adapted to be in it. Signal boosting the shit out of this because EVERYONE can get skin cancer!!
For those of you thinking of purchasing testosterone illegally please remember you are taking your life into your hands and you absolutely can overdose on T and it can be life threatening. Taking a ton of T will not masculinize you. Too much T can get converted back into estrogen.
Do not take any testosterone not purchased with your prescription given to you by your doctor. Every one’s dose is different.
Hormone imbalance can severely fuck up your body.
not on T but i’m sure some lovely soul out there on my blog may need this
plz b safe
This post very well could have just saved me bc I had no idea my vision getting blurry like this OR the headaches were signs of overdose despite telling my doctor about those two symptoms. So thank you.
Also illegal HRT can often be laced with things like cement so PLEASE be careful

You shouldn’t have to spend so much money to get a life-saving device like this; here’s how to bring that number down a bit.
And then this is something where buying the generic version can create lots of cost savings (although, you have to directly request the generic)
https://www.webmd.com/allergies/news/20170112/cvs-price-epipen-generic
CVS will charge $109.99 for a two-pack of the generic version of Adrenaclick, a lesser-known treatment than EpiPen, which can cost more than $600, the Associated Press reported. The products are auto-injectors that contain the hormone epinephrine and provide emergency treatment for potentially deadly allergic reactions to foods such as nuts and eggs and to insect bites and stings.The drug store chain said it cut the price of the generic version of Adrenaclick nearly in half and that the lower price is available in all its stores. The new price applies to both insured patients and those who pay cash without coverage, and is what customers will pay at the pharmacy counter, the AP reported.
$50 each is still entirely too expensive, but it’s better than nothing. Readers, take note!
