Researchers From The University Of Essex Have Published A Controversial Study Suggesting Men Are The

I know what I'm getting soon.

This short book of little squibs from the HDM universe came out a few months ago, but I just got a copy. Note there’s still no title or pub date for book 3 of TBOD

Same, we're lucky to get sun till 4:45.

It’s that time of year again so here is your yearly reminder that the world isn’t ending and people don’t hate you. The sun is just setting at 6 pm.

Okay so on the Pokemon official site they mentioned that fuecoco bathes in the sun to collect fire energy in the big square scales. So I'm thinking that it maybe based partly on solar panels? 🤔

Coming from your Neo Griffith who marries Charlotte while keeping his lover close I also could see him arranging for Charlotte to have an "accident" once he ascends to king. It wouldnt be right away because that would be way too obvious and way too suspicious but I can imagine him refusing to settle on anything other than his ideal future. He promised his s/o she would be his queen and even if he has to be married to Charlotte for a few years, I could see him doing the unthinkable to follow thru

Little finch, don't stray from the path--

He supposed he might've felt...guilty even, in another life.

In a life where he cared for her, where he could've loved her.

But unfortunately--his eyes broke from the window, to settle in your sleeping sighs. With pale, rose-tipped fingers he brushed away wayward strands of hair, but it felt as ghastly as he was. It held not your warmth, not the warmth that once left hushed kisses in his cheek, or the warmth of your breath on his eyelids.

He loved you, even in this husk, in this shell of flesh and glass that held only aspirations. In a vessel made for him, the only one that would help him reach where he had once fallen short.

He loved you, even if you feared him. Even if you found his cold, ageless beauty, vile where as other only saw good. Even if his voice, made to be followed, only had you squirming and in tears.

Even if you'd never have him.

Even if he was to suffer by your hand.

Love this comic and character.

From Doctor Octopus: Year One.

What an amazing woman, and a personal heroine for me. She's part of what made me fall in love with radiation and want to study it. 💗

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less".

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained".

"I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries".

"If I had not been taught chemical analysis by prof. Milicer and dr. Kossakowski in Warsaw, I would not have isolated radium".

"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale".

"Humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit".

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful".

"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy".

— Maria Skłodowska Curie

People say women are a minority; but in fact, it is men who are the smaller group.

More interestingly, men are not born as a minority – as for every 100 female births there are actually 105 male births.

But this male surplus doesn’t stay for long, as over the course of a life time, the number of men is slowly eroded away until the sex ratio shifts.

Yup, in adulthood there are only 97 American men for every 100 women.

So what happened?

Why do men experience higher mortality rates in every age group, and have an overall death rate 1.4 times higher than women?

Why has a problem, so large it literally alters the tectonics of a nation’s population, been so readily ignored?

Why are men’s higher mortality rates so often waved of with, “well that’s just the way it is!”

Perhaps… men are not the ubiquitously privileged gender you’ll hear described, but the disposable one?

I mean isn’t early death a bit more deserving of advocacy and investigation than women having too few pockets, or Babie’s super cool day out?

Are the solutions to men’s issues more serious and complex than social media coddling, and meagre calls for “talk” and male tears?

What about men’s early death?

How do we save our men and boys?

Holy shit. Men actually die from a birth majority into a living minority.

How is this not a huge thing, and why is everyone supposed to be so comfortable with it?

How are we supposed to take seriously the claim of society "privileging" men, when there's no greater privilege than being alive? With "empathy"/"anyone giving a shit" not far behind?
