Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.

EEEEW I HATE THIS AND HATE DOVE REAL BEAUTY CAMPAIGNS! 

First, I do see the ~benefits of this campaign. Women do have really fucked up skewed images of themselves and we are forever being told what our good features are and what we should be really ashamed of and disgusted by….like that protruding chin you ugly beast!! And freckles? Thanks Patriarchy and White Eurocentric beauty standards!!  It’s wicked that these women were able to see these two images and hopefully they’re able to start a journey of self love from it. Cool you’re not as fat and frizzy as you thought?

but, like….really?

Fuck beauty being where our worth and happiness lies, fuck the idea that we can ~*forgive*~ ourselves for our flaws and that this real beauty campaign advocates for a heirarchy of facial features?? no your chin doesn’t protrude, that’d be gross…it’s thin and CUTE! Sadder and fatter?? BARF ALL OVER. Also wicked use of men in this campaign…uhhhhhh. Beauty is NOT critical to your happiness, respect and body autonomy and full destruction of the patriarchy might be though

I wouldn’t hate that Dove thinks they can capitalize on body acceptance to peddle their fucking bodywash if they weren’t constantly doing it so wrong 

boldin was me because wow yeah??? yeah.

THANK U AND GOODNIGHT

A pretty spectacular science experiment: how to make an Incredible Egg Geode. 

Your egg geode is formed through a process called sedimentation. The heated alum solution contains suspended particles of alum powder and as the solution cools, these particles of alum begin settling. When the alum particles settle towards the bottom of the beaker or glass, they begin crystallizing. With the alum-covered egg at the bottom, the alum particles from the solution begin attaching themselves to the egg. Covering your egg in alum powder beforehand gives the suspended alum particles a surface to which they can more readily attach themselves. The particles that settle onto the surface of the egg crystallize, and you will also see crystallization on the bottom and sides of the beaker or glass.
