I seriously laughed so hard. If you’re an astronaut like me, you’ll get it.

I’M PRETTY SURE I’M NOT AN ASTRONAUT AND I GOT THIS JOKE THEY TEACH ABOUT JUPITER’S FUCKING GIANT NEVER ENDING STORM IN LIKE 3RD GRADE

I think you might have astronaut blood in you if you get this. My great grandad is an astronaut and I had quite the laugh. Hah!

If you laughed at this and aren’t an astronaut you’re appropriating space-race culture

I’m 1/57th astronaut how dare you

GOD I HATE WHEN CELEBRITIES GO ON ABOUT FEELING PRETTY WITH NO MAKEUP ON WHILE THEY’RE WEARING SO MUCH MAKEUP TO GO FOR THAT ‘ALL NATURAL’ LOOK. LOOK AT HER SHE’S FAKING IT SO HARD LADY GAGA IS A JOKE

where did she say something about feeling pretty with no make up

she’s saying the exact opposite

CAN’T YOU GODDAMN READ

Did you even read the fucking gifs or do you just have an irrational hate trigger response to Lady Gaga

Seriously, have a little respect and actually pay attention to what she’s saying before you start running your mouth.  

Also, even if people say they feel pretty without makeup, then it isn’t a problem whatsoever. Open your eyes a little.

Images drawn by children held in indefinite detention on Christmas Island:

The most alarming aspect of the pictures drawn by children detained on Christmas Island, and revealed by the Human Rights Commission’s national investigation into their plight, is what is blanked out – the children’s boat IDs. In every detention facility I have visited, children sign their artworks with this ID; they respond to this ID; they know each other’s ID numbers. The institutionalisation of these children is all-pervasive and will take a very long time to recover from if they are ever released into society.(X)

I cannot understand how more people aren’t extremely alarmed by what happens to Asylum Seekers here in Australia. People, children, are being put in indefinite detention. Not because they have committed any crime, but because they are refugees. 

Children are literally being raised in “detention facilities”. They call them that because no one wants to admit they are really sending children to prisons.

Now You Know (Source)

Why though? 😳

A Czech girl here to extensively talk about her country! This is actually fun tradition, and the ‘beating’ is mostly symbolic. It stings a bit but I can’t say that I’d consider it unbearably painful or abusive. Nobody forces women to participate, and today people only go to the other people they know. And honestly I find it much more preferable to tradition where they spill water on you or even worse perfume. (I did that once and I it was annoying and I smelled horrible. I’m happy for whipping thank you) Though there’s like revenge day for women who then spill water on guys. (I never did, or haven’t seen it done though)

As to why. Traditionally it is not because the men want to cause harm to the women, the spring whipping was meant as a way for women to stay healthy, pretty and fertile for the following year. The whip is called ‘Pomlázka’ which comes from the word ‘Pomlazení - Omlazení’ which translates into Rejuvenation. Young twigs are used for the whip to transfer the ‘life force’ into women.

The whip is usually traditionally made out of pussy willow so it’s flexible and women are more usually whipped on their legs rather than backsides, though I guess you usually cover both. And it’s not only unmarried women. Nowadays in most region it’s ‘all’ the women. Even my grandma gets symbolic whipping.

It was also a form of symbolic ‘courtship’. Traditionally on Easter we decorate actual eggs. There are many ways how to do this, personally I love decorating with bee wax (I got beekeepers in the family)  but also with onion peels and flowers.

Decorated with straw

Now the eggs are also a symbols of New life. And men ‘court’ women by whipping them (in the past some women actually took offence if nobody came to them) and the women give the men the decorated eggs as a sign of forgiveness and thanks for the rejuvenation. In some regions they also decorate their whips with bows. And Guys have to sing a Eastern Carol asking for the eggs. 

 It sound kinda brutal when you say they whip women, and sometimes there are alcohol issues, but generally it’s really tame and I find it to be fun tradition.
