Hinder: a dating app that matches you with dates in progress nearby so that you can cockblock them

That would be an amazing idea for people who want to end a bad date or feel unsafe but don’t have people to call them or to hijack their date. Got an hour to kill? Ruin local dates near you! Great acting practice! Are you the old high school friend? The ex? The “SO” their cheating on? The online friend who didn’t realize you both live in the same city? Users can match with people who need interrupting phone calls, incessant texts, a full on walk in.

Just because two people aren’t romantically involved doesn’t mean they can’t be super important to one another.

Just because two people are super important to one another doesn’t mean they have to be romantically involved.

It is okay to love people deeply without wanting to be with them romantically and people should not make your friendship uncomfortable by consistently nagging you to date.

Let’s appreciate and support friendships and stop demanding people to have feelings they don’t have.

“…often women aren’t allowed to be characters in history, they have to be stereotypes. Cleopatra was a poet and a philosopher, she was incredibly good at maths; she wasn’t that much of a looker. But when we think of her, we think: big breasted seductress bathing in milk. Often, even when women have made their mark and they are remembered by history, we are offered a fantasy version of their lives.”

dailyplantfacts:

Opuntia microdasys is in the cactus family Cactaceae. Commonly known as bunny ears cactus or polka-dot cactus, it is endemic to areas of northern and central Mexico. This species produces pads that are covered in clusters of densely packed glochids, instead of longer spines in other cacti. Glochids are small, barbed, hair-like spines that detach upon contact with the skin. Glochids are produced in numerous species of cacti, and are mostly present in species within the Opuntioideae subfamily. Each cluster on the cactus pad can contain hundreds of microscopic glochids, which can cause immense pain and irritation if not removed quickly.
