person who’s about to invent tea: oh haven’t you heard?
I’M SCREAMING I DID NOT KNOW THIS
[The story of tea begins in China. According to legend, in 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try this infusion that his servant had accidentally created. The tree was a Camellia sinensis, and the resulting drink was what we now call tea.]

Sharon Choksi, founder Girls Will Be,
decided to do something about the lack of options for girls. She said
the inspiration for her new line of clothing, came from her daughter and
niece, Maya and Grace, who wanted to wear clothing that wasn’t frilly,
“nothing with bows” and absolutely “NO sparkles.” They were interested
in “climbing trees, building LEGO creations, and playing with cars and
trucks,” Choksi said.

from the above article:
She collected boys and girls clothes from 10 of the biggest retailers that were all meant for kids of around the same size and age and measured them. What she found was that the girls’ shirts were one to three inches thinner. The sleeves were shorter. And the girls’ shorts were barely a third of the length.
I know this was true when I was a kid, but it’s gotten a lot worse since then.
I was looking at the page in Deadpool #7 where he’s going through Tony’s checkbook and I feel like there should be more recognition of the fact that Tony Stark once gave Ant-Man a thousand dollars to “buy some ants”.
Ant-Man, eh? so you, like, really like them? here go buy some
Concept: Ant-Man buys Tony a shit ton of irons. Like Tony opens the door and it’s just…irons.
I’m so grateful the Bible doesn’t hide the failures of those who were used in mighty ways. The people God chose struggled with sin and the hardships of life. And yet even through their imperfections our mighty God did amazing things.
