Blackfish - Trailer

Beyond the lies, beneath the deception, the truth will surface.

Magnolia Pictures has debuted the trailer for the chilling Sundance documentary Blackfish, directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, about orcas in captivity. 

well, this trailer made me cry.  i hope this wakes some people up about how fucked up places like Seaworld truly are.  the incidence rate of wild orca attacks vs captive orca attacks is staggering, and for good reason.  fucking whales shouldn’t be kept in a tank smaller than a pond.

• fetuses do not think
• they do not “scream out” when they are aborted
• they have no brain function and no nerve endings until long after the deadline for a legal abortion
• they aren’t “sad” when you abort them
• they do not “realize what is happening”

And these aren’t my beliefs, they’re scientific facts

THANK. YOU.

Description: During the Victorian period cures for diseases were often more dangerous than the illness itself.

Laudanum is a notable example of the Victorian cure. Pharmacies could prescribe the dangerous drug over the counter unchecked. It would be taken for many ailments including headaches and menstrual cramps. Some women would even use the drug to obtain a pale complexion, as frailty among women was considered attractive. 
However, Laudanum was addictive due to its opium content. Notable addicts were Lord Bryon, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (who wrote the poem Kubla Khan while in a Laudanum induced state), Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats and Edgar Allen Poe. The drug is also mentioned in numerous Victorian books; such as Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Neuralgia was a fairly unknown disease till John Locke in 1677 was asked to help the Countess of Northumberland. Previously numerous doctors had tried to describe the condition but failed to fully understand the illness. Locke was able to decrease the pain the Countess was feeling by treating her with laxative therapy.
Later during the 1700s other doctors built on Locke’s ideas and started to prescribe surgery to help the patient. By 1820 Charles Bell had completed the research by separating the disease from others and actually caused the condition to be named trigeminal neuralgia. The medicine pictured would have been prepared by Dale’s Chemist, Stoke-on-Trent from Adams’s recipe to ‘cure’ Neuralgia.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I was living in my house, but it looked like it would have in 1900 when it was built. I was laying in a bed, while someone stood over me trying to get me to take laudanum. I woke up freaking out for a few minutes before I realized it was a dream. I’d of course heard about laudanum, but I didn’t know much about it. Maybe that’s what was in all those weird old bottles we found under the house…
