Chinese foot binding was an attempt to stop the growth of the feet in young girls. It usually began when girls was young, usually around four to seven. Sometimes even later if the girl was from a poor family who needed her to help work. A large bandage was wrapped tightly around the foot, forcing the four small toes under the sole of the foot. This made the feet narrower but at the same time it made the feet shorter because it also forced the big toe and the heel closer together by bowing the arch of the foot. The bandage was tightened each day and the girl was put into progressively smaller and smaller sized shoes. The entire process usually took about two years at the end of which the feet were essentially dead and utterly useless.
She’s in the last seven hours of her Kickstarter. She’s got a warchest to make and promote her CD, to film videos, to go on tour, to print her art book. And just importantly, she’s changed things: her phone is ringing off the hook with calls from The Economist, Spin, The Wall Street Journal,…
So I found a penny on the ground when I was out shopping for food and yoga mats with my mom today, and I picked it up. I donated it to the Feline Rescue fund bucket, and then when I come out of Market Basket I find TWENTY DOLLARS just lying there on the sidewalk!…
I would take those twenty so fast it would make look Flash like a turtle!!! D:
Yes, The Situation got his own comic. More than that, the perspectives on this thing make no sense. We’re looking up at a pretty extreme angle on the girl closest to us so we can have the Ed Benes butt angle, but it doesn’t appear to be the same angle we’re looking at the other characters. We’re kind of looking up at The Situation, and kind of not, I think the effect stops at his waist, and we’re looking straight on the other girl.
My brain hurts. Maybe bending light is one of his super powers in this comic?
Also the girl in the skirt looks super stiff, and has a super long neck.
WHY GOD WHYYYYY!! D:

Longtime Mexican leader Porfirio Díaz left his country for the last time on May 31, 1911, boarding the German ship SS Ypiranga in the port of Veracruz a few days after stepping down as his country’s head of state at the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. He would spend the rest of his days in exile in Europe, where he died in 1915.
