Dear Followers,

If you haven’t noticed yet, I’ve decided to eliminate my old tumblr (ie this one) and replace it with a new one. This is something I’ve been contemplating for a wee while; honestly, there’s too much silly crap on Tumblr for me to want to deal with.

I joined this site because of some cute hipster girl, I’ll admit.

I stayed for fandoms and communities.

I almost left entirely for the various crap that I see on a daily basis here.

But, oh well! I will start over, I will enjoy my new blog!

I’m still at the url http://joaniedark.tumblr.com, so please feel free to follow me again there! But please drop a line; I plan on only following my friends’ blogs from now on, so I won’t follow you unless you leave a message.

Anyway, hope to see y’all around!

Loki Skywalker is even worse.

May I please have the source poems for these kennings?

Preferably both in Old Norse and English.

so just bear with me here

Would it be weird if I wrote Plants vs. Zombies fanfic about an anthropomorphic Pea Shooter?

I wonder…

Women in the United States are more likely to die during or shortly after childbirth than women in nearly all countries in Europe and many in Asia and the Middle East, according to the United Nations.

While maternal mortality declined in most countries over the past 20 years, it has not just increased, but nearly doubled, in the United States.

Experts blame the high death rate partly on the heavy reliance the United States places on technological intervention, particularly when it results, as it so often does, in surgical delivery via cesarean section.

That is so bizarre.

C-sections are the most common and frequent surgery done to women. They are also hugely profitable and expensive. In a system premised on profits, this actually makes sense.

I also recall my anatomy teacher saying caesareans are also a go to procedure to prevent malpractice suits as well, because it’s less likely the child will suffer from complications. (via mydigitalromance)

Squatting is actually the best way to give birth (so long as there’s someone to catch the baby) because hey, LAWS OF NATURE. Gravity is your biggest ally, and what do hospitals do? Say “fuck that” and put you in a bed, where it’s more likely to hurt the mother when the baby’s on it’s way out. LOGIC, right?

Fuck your questionable article with not enough breakdown to its facts.
But also…
Fuck horrifying vivisections.
Fuck painful natural birth.

Adoption is where it’s at yo.
