Photos from around the world of children with their most treasured possessions. Wonderful stuff ›

Why do women pose like this (especially if it’s a side shot)? Is it to make us think that their waist is smaller than it is? Because, it really doesn’t fool anyone…

From the 1910s through the 1960s, many patients at the Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane left suitcases behind when they passed away, with nobody to claim them. Upon the center’s closure in 1995, employees found hundreds of these time capsules stored in a locked attic. Working with the New York State Museum, former Willard staffers were able to preserve the hidden cache of luggage as part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Don’t know what happened to this bird but it’s a stunning photo

Dear Teenagers…

There’s nothing more depressing than stumbling across a 15 year old girls tumblr. Especially when they’re posting photos of themselves posing provocatively in their messy bedrooms. You really feel like screaming at them.

Dear young teenage girls. If you feel the desperate need to get validation and attention by posting dodgy images of yourself surrounded by bathroom debris or dirty underwear strewn about the floor, just take a moment to think before hitting the “send” button.

These images will be around on the net for years to come. Everything you post will be there for all to see long after you’ve matured and moved on. Even if you immediately regret posting a photo and hit the delete button, you can’t take it back. It’s out there on the net. Once you’ve posted, that’s it, you no longer have any control whatsoever over who uses the image or who sees it.

There are other ways you can feel better about yourself. Ways you can validate yourself without getting cheap attention from total strangers that will only see you as a piece of meat without seeing the person underneath. Yes for a little bit, you’ll feel better about yourself, but later on, as the comments intensify, the sense of guilt and cheapness can sometimes be overwhelming. Posting crap, dodgy photos of yourself in skimpy clothing surrounded by dirty clothes isn’t the best way to go about it

Reblogging my own picture….been reblogged over 19,000 times and some point some cunt has cropped it to take my name off and no doubt claiming it for themselves.

Tumblr is for reblogging and inspiration—-not stealing.
