Kudos to this post, I think of you every time I do my fucking laundry

Reblog to have something good happen at 1:42 tomorrow

I am REALLY needing anything good, even if it’s just 5 cents on the floor

the thing folks living in Christian dominant cultures gotta realize is that even if you’re not Christian, your basic understanding of religion and spirituality and morality is still being filtered through a Christian lens. your very concept of what religion is and does is filtered through that lens.

This is what I call cultural Christianity, for those who are still confused

“But everyone celebrates christmas.” No. No we don’t.

bill off the poop water again

I want to point out that this is something that’s been largely misrepresented to make it look like Bill is disagreeing with paying more tax. He’s not saying her idea is bad. He agrees with more of his money being used to help people. He’s saying that most billionaires use “creative” methods to avoid paying the tax they should already, so to just focus on increasing tax isn’t addressing the actual problem, that many of these people should already be paying a lot more than they are, and constantly find ways around it. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/everybody-talking-about-tax-bill-gates-pokes-holes-in-extreme-tax-idea/news-story/48b324ddbf03e97ef5c7c69f1682f01a The problem is, the headlines are very deliberately being written in a way to make it look like a smart guy like Bill is saying “AOC is wrong about everything”, when he’s actually saying “I agree with her idea in principle, but if you don’t close the tax loopholes, it won’t work as well as it should”.

finding out people dont usually add numbers by first adding something to make a ten (for example 7+6= 7 plus 3 is 10 plus another 3 is 13) & that its actually an adhd thing is the WILDEST shit literally ive lived like 10 years (or however old i was when i learned to add and stuff) thinking thats how everyone does it. what the fuck

What

It’s also an autism thing, apparently.

W H A T

Oh yeah! This is also part of why autistic people/people with adhd struggle in math classes. Our brains process math and numbers in a totally different way. Many people on the spectrum struggle with the “show your work” part of math because we can’t exactly tell you why it works/how it works. We just kinda do it

I absolutely do things like this for equations I haven’t memorised. I was explaining how I decipher 24 hour time to somebody recently, by subtracting 2 from the second number for 13-19, then basically doing the inverse for 20-21 (i.e. 20-2=18, take the second number, 8pm, or 21-2=19, take the second number it’s 9pm), and then also knowing that for the same thing with 22-24, you replace the first 2 in the subtraction total with a 1 (24-2=22, replace the first 2 is 12). And the person I was explaining it to was like “That’s so complicated OMG! Why don’t you just subtract 12????” And I was like “Um…yeah my brain can’t do that.”

anyway, the 8 hour workday and the concept of “8 hours work, 8 hours rest, 8 hours recreation” is outdated and based on the lives and needs of married straight men who had a wife at home doing all the unpaid domestic labor, childcare, and elderly care. We should all be fighting for a 4 hour workday tbh

I’m all about that fight, what can we do?

No. Hollywood has an older man problem.

this is so gross

I wish I could remember the name of the actress who went ballistic after being told that, at 35, she was too old to play the love interest for the 55-year-old lead.

It was Maggie Gyllenhall.  And I stand corrected, she was 37.

Damn

Take this with you

to all my white followers who stew in unnecessary guilt trying to come to terms with the privilege you have, watch this

those are some killer moves!

i dont like how it looked back at me while it was shaking its ass

imagine Humans sending this on exploratory probes of distant planets and extraterrestrials making contact with this as their first introduction to our species

god i love boston dynamics

I kinda love how every time we make something that’s decent at walking and can stand on it’s own, our very next idea is “MAKE IT DANCE!”

The way I know Paul Ryan straight-up has no soul is that he didn’t change at all after his favorite band said they hated him. The music of my favorite band is one of the most meaningful and precious things in the world to me. If I said they were my favorite band and they responded with disgust and told the world that not only do they dislike me personally but that I must have missed the core thesis of their body of work because it has always been specifically about how my values and actions are unambiguously evil, that would be the end of the person I am today. Tomorrow, every single aspect of my personality would’ve changed. I don’t think I could even keep the same name I’ve got now. The fact that hearing his favorite band express unbridled contempt for him as a human being and for everything he stands for didn’t absolutely destroy Paul Ryan and cause him to immediately retire, relocate to a new city, and dedicate the rest of his life to becoming literally anyone but Paul Ryan, tells me he cannot possibly have any emotions whatsoever.
