Mary Jane Rathbun, Inventor of the Marijuana Brownie.
In the 1980s, Mary Jane was baking over 4,000 brownies a week for Californian AIDS patients after she realised it eased their suffering and depression. Despite multiple convictions, she remained an active marijuana advocate until the day she died.
I had to fact check this and her Wikipedia page made me like her even more:
“She was raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she attended Catholic school. At the age of 13, she was involved in an altercation with a nun who tried to cane her, but Rathbun fought back.”
“Social activism appealed to her from a young age; she traveled from Chicago to Wisconsin to campaign for the right of miners to form unions. In the late 1940s, she worked as an activist promoting abortion rights for women in Minneapolis.”
“Rathbun often appeared in public wearing polyester pantsuits, and she was said to have a ‘sailor’s mouth.’”
Oh boy, that fella is Simo Häyhä. He’s Finnish and was nicknamed “The White Death” by the Soviet Union. Using basically a Finnish rip off of the Mosin Nagant and a lil sub machine gun he killed 505 men in the Winter War, which lasted just 100 days. He has the largest confirmed kills of any sniper ever. He was a fucking bad ass.
Do note that’s 505 confirmed men killed. The unconfirmed could be larger. You also forgot the other badass part, he took an incendiary round to the face, dragged his was 25KM back to base, and went into a coma., only waking on the last day of the war. The thing that is often said is that the Russians ended the war because he woke from his slumber.
And to add, he was a farmer with no military training who got back to farming after the war.
He used to dump water on the snow so the loose snow won’t fly with the gun kickback, and he stuffed his mouth with snow so his breath won’t be detected
The rifle this dude used didn’t have a scope unlike the ones Soviets had. This was because in the almost -40 degrees Celsius weather the scope could have frosted, the glint from the glass could have given him away, it took a bit longer to aim properly with it, it would have required him to raise his head higher which would have made him a bigger target and he just didn’t have the training to use a scoped rifle stolen from the enemy. He preferred to use a rifle he knew how to instead of learning to use a new one.
He lived up to be 96 years old and passed away in 2002.
How do you like this? Now imagine how many innocent people are in jail because of these cops
Cops will be cops.
News reporting so far has carefully glossed over that this is a clear criminal conspiracy on the part of the police. If this isn’t unofficial policy from the top, it’s evidently a widespread and regular practice that they’re comfortable with.
Being reminded of this as a queer adult is so wild because you realize some very overt shit. Like, Bobby emits ice from his whole body. Grabbing the bottle was enough! In fact, he didn’t even have to grab the bottle, a simple poke would have worked or he could have shot ice from a distant. Him blowing on this bottle was 3000% overt flirting and honestly the gayest thing I’ve probably ever seen a mutant use their powers for and Wolverine was here for it all and no one will tell me differently.
It’s that eye contact
Wow, who knew wolverine was trade
I mean:
(do take note of the beer bottle placement which was 100% intentional. Greg Rucka has written a post about this, but I can’t find it right now)
Yelling, venting, or punching a pillow
when you’re mad only makes you angrier
in the long run. This trains your brain
to associate anger with aggression and
creates a counterproductive cycle: the
aggression makes you feel better, the
rush you get from being angry then
becomes addictive, and you end up
forming a habit. Basically, allowing
yourself to lash out in anger is like
getting drunk to control your
urge to drink. SourceSource 2
