DEI does not mean lower standards.

You are thinking of white privilege.

“You tell me to be a biblical woman. You tell me to be a biblical so that I might become silent, complicit, weak. Become a biblical woman. Become complacent with the authority of a man. I am a biblical woman. I am Deborah with the power to control the armies, the wisdom to prophesy. I do not tolerate the cowardice of men. I will give victory and honor where it is due: to the woman who is brave enough to stand. I am Jael. I have the blood of the enemy on my hands. I saw a victory for my people and I took it. I took with a warm glass of milk and a tent peg to his head. I am a biblical woman. I am Esther, who stood up to the men in power and saved my people. I used my beauty and my position to do what is right. I am a queen. I am Ruth, a foreigner who left everything she had for the sake of loyalty to family. I seduced the man who I knew could provide for me. I worked hard to provide for myself and for my family. I am a biblical woman. I am Bathsheba, who was taken advantage of by the king. I am more than just a bathing woman on the roof. He objectified me. He murdered my husband. And he was the one who paid the price. I am Abigail, whose wit and wisdom prevented violence. I rescued my husband from his own foolishness, and I prevented the King from acting rashly and violently. I am brilliant. I am a biblical woman. I am Rahab, the prostitute. I am Mary, the pregnant teenager. I am Junia, the female apostle. I am Dorcas, the woman who served the poor. I am the woman at the well. An outsider welcomed into the kingdom of God. You think that I must be silent and meek to become a biblical woman? You do not know what a biblical woman is.”

For all the men who have made biblical women out to be nothing but silent property.

I know I’ve reblogged this at least once but YES! THIS!

(via reconfemmandoforares)

I don't know if this is a thing but...

I can't stop thinking about Dark Cottagecore...

Consider:

Milk swirling into your tea reflects the stormclouds in the darkened sky as rain pelts at your window. It is trying to get in.

You sleep wrapped up in the quilt your grandmother made you. The pictures she sewed into it show scenes from the stories she whispered in your ear as a child. Sometimes, you swear the monsters on it move.

The warm, freshly baked bread is made to show hospitality to any visitors. The kindness you show them binds them into their visiting form and stops them from stealing you away at night.

Beautiful picture books you had as a child, all lined up on your bookshelf. At least three of them intone the dark rituals you know like the back of your hand.

You braid her hair, weaving wards into the plaits so you know she'll remain safe even after she crosses the threshold out of your home.

Your cat is soft as he purrs and leans into you. He is satisfied that he stopped the Things disguised as rats from getting into your home.

Okay!!

Three facts about agriculture:

Agriculture in the US makes up over 20 million jobs. I’m not sure about other countries, but I would argue it was that amount or more easily.

From an education standpoint we look at it as Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. They are all things that are so interconnected you can’t have them without each other.

The average age of farmers worldwide is 60 years old- in the U.S its 55. This could have major implications for food security in the future unless a whole lot of people worldwide decide to get involved in growing food.

Plus a bonus fact:

There are +9 million dairy cattle in the US. Each can produce 6-7 gallons of milk in a day.

There’s a disturbing lack of agriculture content here.

With zero hesitation, it’s Graham.

Propaganda

Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives):

he's regularly sent to flirt with cops and paramedics to hustle information out of them, he's the canonical office hottie and I, for once, think he was right to blow up those fucking clowns

Graham Casner (The White Vault):

Peter Joseph Lewis hottest voice of all time

The Blues Brothers (1980)

If I was a teacher, I would make a list of false statements and then have my kids write a paper proving that the statement is false. Examples of false statements might be:

[State Im teaching in] has no Rowen trees.

Singapore outlawed the sale of teriyaki sauce

The word biscuit comes from bi meaning two and cuit meaning baking pan

Wearing your hair in pigtails can cause head cancer

A turtle sheds its shell like a hermit crab

Because all those things are kinda hard to disprove and it teaches kids research and misinformation and how to build a case. Also theres lots of ways they could find 'proof'
