Grandpa is a sugar cane farmer (he has other crops but this is the main one), and he sells directly to the sugar factory, I am not 100% sure how it works but basically aside from paying him for the sugar cane weight they also include a 50kilo bag of refined sugar for each ton of sugar cane he sells them.
I have never in my life have gone to the store to buy sugar.
The older I get the more fiercely protective I get of younger girls. I was heading into work yesterday and I saw that 12 year old (I mentioned her before, the one who wore makeup) talking to this older man. She’s normally really bubbly but she looked a little more subdued talking to him so I go over and loudly say “Hey sweetheart, who’s this?” And the guys just glares at me and she says “oh um his name is Justin.” And I’m like “Hi Justin, how do you know her?” And he gets nervous and is like “I just saw her jogging and thought I’d give her pointers.” So I just kinda tilted my head and looked at him for a minute. He literally asked me “are you a cop or something? I haven’t done anything wrong.” So I took her to the McDonald’s near by, bought her something and had a talk about not talking to strangers. Low key I’m debating the next time I see her parents (they drop her off at the gym and leave her there for hours) to maybe have a talk with them or something. Idk if it’s my place tho
Just to add because some messaged me saying that I was being a nosey bitch: so a woman who used to go to my gym (and my same university. Like I used to see her at my job and on campus) actually went missing not far from my intersection (literally a 5 min walk away from the major intersection) on may 10 and they found her body literally last week (June 19). Everyone has been on high alert lately so when I saw this random dude talking to this little girl, my brain immediately went into defence panic mode. So yeah call me nosey if you want
This world could use more nosey b*tches.
I’ll stop being a nosey bitch when males stop being predators
Always be a nosy bitch where young girls are concerned. Always be a nosy bitch where creepy old men are concerned
and let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that michelangelo had probably never seen a girl naked and when he want to sculpt or paint them his mentality seems to be “wow, everyone likes women….they must be like…..buff dudes. i love buff dudes. women are buff dudes but with little chest lumps and no wiener”
“nailed it.”
And my personal favorite, Adam and Eve
he literally painted adam and steve
I am in the absolute SHITTIEST mood right now, but this actually made me laugh out loud.
The NYC Met museum had an exhibition where a projection of the Sistine chapel was paired with a bunch of Michelangelo’s sketches.
My friends… EVERYONE KNEW HE WAS GAY. He wasn’t even trying to hide it.
He drew portraits of and for his crushes and boyfriends. He had KNOWN lovers and he definitely had a thing for young brawny men.
Historians: “oh, I’m such a genius, this man is referenced as his favourite. His love must have been a lecherous secret. Dirty, perverted, secretive.”
! Those leg designs are straight off of Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests!
Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist who makes “evolves” these pvc-boned, beach dwelling, wind powered kinetic sculptures he terms Strandbeests.
The leg structure is a design of his own creation, and is a beautiful attachment of two four-bar linkages to a crankshaft. It’s actually really bloody impressive. Really, really, really bloody impressive.
