This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.
Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.
If you know anyone who lives on the North or South Carolina coast, tell them that if there’s an evacuation ordered, they need to get the hell out. Do not take chances with this one.
Why do people never want to tell you their middle name like who gives a shit its not a nuclear launch code its your damn name
reblog with your middle name in the tags
Actually, the practice dates back to the reason we have middle names in the first place!
Some time around the dark ages, everyone believed in witchcraft and wizardry, like ya do. A big principle of magic was the idea of “true names.” If a spellcaster knew your full name, they could do whatever the hell they wanted to you. Of course, people didn’t want that, but there were enough people with the same first names that you had to give people your surname as well, to avoid confusion.
The solution? A secret name in the middle that you don’t tell anyone (unless you believe that they’re not able to do magic and/or you trust them enough that if they DID do magic, you’d be fine).
this is some death note shit
Is that why when a parent uses your full name (or even just first and middle name) when they’re angry with you, it feels like they just cast some serious mojo on your soul and you know you are in deep shit?
OP is a fae in disguise do not tell them your middle name
You know I’m not one to write posts not about aftg a lot
But I’ve been seeing a lot of media demonizing Serena Williams for “taking away Osaka’s moment”
Which, yes, she did take away attention with her outburst but media also takes away context (and as history and present day news shows, context is immensely important)
Serena Williams is one of the most successful athletes of her field, and she’s a black women. Over and over we see people in her career try to belittle her or take away her victories.
If you’ve seen the match, or saw the news about it, you’d see that Serena was penalized unfairly for something she did not do. You can see and hear her humiliation and despair.
Yes, Naomi is talented, and she deserves that win (she has amazing stats and is arguably the better player in regards of talent)(andI believe that even without Serena’s penalty she still would’ve won) but the match was notfair.
And if you still disagree, what would you say to Williams comforting Osaka at the trophy ceremony?
Serena has stumbled and overpassed a lot of obstacles before, but not one where she was humiliated to the point of loss.
The match is amazing, but it’s been tainted by unfair penalties and poor media coverage.
Her coach admitted to signaling her. How is it fair to Naomi to let her opponent flaunt the rules just because she’s black? Serena is pretty widely recognized as the greatest female player in the game, with a record to match. She’ll survive being expected to follow the rules.
“We believe wheelchair users should have access to the same styles and trends everyone else has, without ever having to compromise comfort.
Our clothing has signature cuts and styles to fit a seated body shape, falling and draping naturally without interfering with wheelchair mechanics. We use top-quality fabrics that look beautiful and feel luxurious.
Our Easy Zip Back option in coats is just one way that we’re making layering up and staying warm easier than ever. Discreet zippers in the back mean that Easy Zip Back coats separate into two individual pieces.
Our signature ‘L-Shape’ means that IZ coats have the length you need over your lap while looking sleek and clean so you don’t sacrifice your style.”
The IZ Collection goes up to a 2X and has a wide range of masculine and feminine clothes.
They look gorgeous, but be prepared. They are expensive.
This is so rad
Right now, they’re throwing everything out for far lower prices – because they’re closing shop. So if you need/want any of these, now is the time to get it, I guess.
I saw this post years ago, and I just rechecked – don’t click that link, it tries to make you download and install a thing and then redirects to a google search. I’m pretty sure this clothing company no longer exists. It’s a shame, but spreading this around like they’re still in operation is not great either.
