Live the Questions

was only FOURTEEN when she married sixteen year old, awakward, lanky, redheaded fuckboy lafayette

(her mom loved laf but hated them together so she almost didn’t let them marry, didn’t let them sleep in the same room on their weddng night, and sent people with them on outings well into adulthood)

her dumbass husband ran off to america to fight in a war without telling anyone including his wife, so nice job on that one gilbert

her first daughter henriette fucking DIED as an infant, when laf was still in america. so adrienne dealt with that without her husband even being there

she was actually without her husband for quite a while come to think of it. like around 4 years total

handled their family’s finances on her own, because she was a fierce and brilliant woman

popped out four (4) of laf’s weird lookin kids

joined an abolitionist society along with her husband and purchased a cinnamon plantation with the sole purpose of freeing the slaves on the land

 had to deal with her husband doing stupid things like naming their child after general george washington and changing their family motto to “why not?”

and then, to everyone’s surprise and shock, her husband took up another post during the french revolution and went away for five months only to get sent to jail

she and her daughters were put on house arrest

oh and also a bunch of her family and friends had just been beheaded

while on house arrest, she sent letters to a whole shitton fuckton of people to try and get her husband out of an austrian prison and back to france

yeah she didn’t hear from laf for like two years while he was in prison because no one would let him write to her

smart smart woman burned any document or letter that could get laf in trouble 

anyway she finally got to this prison with her daughters except they would let laf out so she was like “fuck you and fuck your rules if he can’t come out i’m coming in”

LITERALLY ALLOWED HERSELF TO BE IMPRISONED FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS BECAUSE SHE LOVED HER HUSBAND THAT MUCH

(did i mention he cheated on her? twice? and she still went through all this shit and never had a bad thought about him :)))))))))

oh and! surprise! she got lead poisoning from the dirty water in the prison ah what a life

so they get out of prison and do you know what she does? she regains all their property, all their money, and gets them out of 200,000 livres worth of debt, because she was a badass

the hilarious end to her story is that she died a very painful death when she was 48 due to the lead poisoning she got n the prison

her last words ever spoken were to laf. and do you know what she said? “i am entirely yours”

The anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications I take are literally (and I am using this word correctly) keeping me alive at this point in my life. If Trumpcare goes through, it will mean my death, unless I can find a way to come up with $2250 a month to pay for my medications, because with Trump’s health care plan, even if I were able to get a full-time job with a health insurance package, my employer’s insurance could deny me benefits due to my pre-existing conditions. 

I’ve been around a long time, and I’ve tried pretty much all of the meds (and combos) available for my illnesses, back when I had a job with insurance. Now I pay into the Marketplace and get my insurance there, and I’m finally at a steady place w/r/t my disease. I’m not going to go all caps-lock and bold and whatever, but “death” is the outcome if I lose my ACA coverage.

And by some miracle, you’re not fucked, I guarantee you someone you love and care about is fucked. 

When I got married I was 20 and my maid of honor was 19 - she was just finishing up her first year at college and still lived with her parents. Now I am one of my best friend’s maid of honor and I have no idea what I’m doing - I can’t use my MOH as an example because we were so young and my sisters picked up most of the traditional roles/tasks that I feel if I did what she did my friend would be really disappointed. (I mean, my MOH was great, don’t get me wrong!)

That Gal Gadot has never ‘supported the Palestinian genocide’.

Does not have a rifle with the notch marks of all those she’s killed.

And has stated outright that she believes in coexistence.

She worked as a fitness instructor, never seeing combat during her mandatory stint in the Israeli army (IDF), and the only thing she said was that she wished luck to her former colleagues in the army (you know, the equivalent of ‘Support Our Troops’) and specifically wished them luck against (and condemned) Hamas, which is a terrorist organization.  Her tags then went on to note #stopterror and #coexistance.

I don’t normally make posts like this, but I feel like this is something I need to do because it’s bigger than myself. So, I don’t know if you’ve heard but the Wonder Woman film comes out June 2nd… And if you didn’t know that, there’s a reason for it. Warner Brothers aren’t spending money on promoting the Wonder Woman film. No tv promotions, billboards, nothing. A film about a strong, powerful, amazing woman superhero directed by Patty Jenkins who happens to be the first woman to direct a superhero film with a female protagonist and one of only a handful (a literal handful… you can count on one hand) to direct a superhero film at all. They are setting it up to fail so they can say “I told you so” and not only continue the blatant sexism in the film industry but blame it on Patty if the movie fails, setting female directors up (whom are already told they won’t get hired) so they can have an excuse to say “Oh well, we tried hiring a woman to direct a film and it didn’t work. Lets not do that again.” This film is bigger than just being a superhero movie… It has the ability to bust open the glass ceiling of Hollywood to tell them that yes, superhero movies about women do well and yes, women can not only direct blockbusters but they can do it well. Because I can guarantee you, Patty does it well. PLEASE spread this around and let Warner Brothers know we aren’t going to stand for this bullshit. GO SEE WONDER WOMAN JUNE 2nd!!!
