Contrary to what conventional beauty standards may lead us to believe, naked mole rats are good. They’re highly social animals who live communally. They’re ruled by a loyal queen. They’re also seemingly impervious to cancer and don’t age. But still, these little subterraneans get a bad rap for not looking like puppies…
Consider just how complicated everything in the universe is, and consider just how very, very distractible the creative force that made us is. It's a miracle that our brains work at all. You are, in yourself, as you are, a miracle that we're grateful for. But, miracle or not, if there is something missing, if you need help, that doesn't make you a failure, it doesn't make you a problem. It makes you the imperfect product of an imperfect universe. You have no need to feel ashamed for needing help to become a more stable self. We ALL need help. And each of us has a different kind of help. You have a right to that help/
Medication is often stigmatized and that really bothers me. I’ve taken meds on and off for years to supplement my focus and combat my anxiety. I’ve adapted because of prescriptions. None of us are weak for this, we’re simply helping our brains get the chemicals they need to function better.
But
there’s one teeny problem: It turns out you don’t need the machine.
Bloomberg reports that recently, “some investors were surprised to
discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands.” Hand-squeezing the bags for 90 seconds, they found, rendered almost as much juice as using the $400 machine for two minutes.
please watch this video, it is mind boggling
“the press needs to be connected to wi-fi to make juice” this is literally indistinguishable from a parody of the app economy
I can’t even fucking tell you how funny the Juicero thing is. I just… fucking HILARIOUS. Like, you could probably have sold the cold-press juice packs to people. The idea of quasi shelf-stable juice, or at least fridge-stable blended juice I can press at will is kinda great for folks like me who live alone and don’t want to bother with a huge juicer machine. You could even make it pretty accessible with a simple hand-crank device, or a couple of rollers on a gentle motor that wouldn’t cost more than like $50 mass-produced.
But no, you had to go and like, put it on the cloud, and use four tons of force to squeeze the little packs, and give it a super-keen Apple-esque design and put DRM on your juicebags. And I think in the end, only bleeding edge douchebags who have to be the earliest of early adopters were hurt by this, so I feel pretty comfortable in saying LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL
Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was “there’s a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry you”.
And it’s…not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so I’m used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.
Even if I wasn’t gay, wasn’t a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is just…Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how you’d feel being carried up a flight of stairs. You’re a grown person. You’re being touched in an awkward way. You’d rather do it yourself. You’re So Uncomfortable. It’s not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship.
So like…could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause I’m real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and I’m cool. I don’t need a dating service when I’m just trying to go about my day
If you’re abled please reblog it cause like…the more ppl knows the better

The New Day are my favourite tag-team right now. Xavier is amazing.
Lest we forget that he also cosplayed the likes of Jem, Krang, Kano and Garnet along with playing the victory theme from FF7 on his trombone, having the Tri-Force tattooed on his arm and name dropping everything from Steven Universe to Hamilton to Pokemon GO in his promos (the latter of which got him boos for proclaiming “Team Valor for life!”), but he’s also achieved his Bachelors in psychology, his Master’s in philosophy and has recently obtained his PhD in
educational psychology while still signed under WWE.
Needless to say, Xavier Woods is a damn inspiration. Black excellence with a unicorn horn.
A new Gallup poll is shining a very bright spotlight on President Donald Trump’s relationship with the voting public.
Specifically, the Gallup poll released on Monday illustrates that American citizens simply do not trust the president anymore.
“President Donald Trump’s image among Americans as someone who keeps his promises has faded in the first two months of his presidency, falling from 62% in February to 45%,” Gallup reported.
“The public is also less likely to see him as a ‘strong and decisive leader,’ as someone who ‘can bring about the changes this country needs’ or as 'honest and trustworthy.’” Read more (4/17/17)
Welcome, newly-aware Americans. We’ve been here for awhile, and are ready to help you adjust to your new reality.
OK, so I can't exactly "relate" to this one, because I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure I've never done it because the very idea of it makes me want to hided under my desk.

Human: Humanology?
Alien: you know, the study of humans and their habits--
Human: ohhh, cool, we call them anthropologists here.

Okay but the Hat was just like, “Sure kid whatever” when Harry requested against Slytherin. What kind of conversation was this?
NO NEVILLE I CAN’T DO THAT YOU HAVE THE HEART OF A LION
THE WIZARD OF OZ WILL GIVE YOU COURAGE NEVILLE
HAKUNA MATATA NEVILLE
DO NOT RECITE THE DEEP MAGIC TO ME NEVILLE I WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN
Okay, I’ve seen this post a couple of times & something just occurred to me.
Harry was pretty 50/50 Gryffindor/Slytherin from what I remember the hat saying (and according to the wiki blurb on hatstalls having a fairly equal split of traits from more than one house is the common cause of them) so when he asked not to be put into Slytherin the hat was fine with taking that preference into account and put him in Gryffindor. (Also the fact that the hat said he could be great and powerful in Slytherin and Harry’s response was pretty much no I don’t want that pretty clearly demonstrates non-Slytherin traits.)
On the other hand, the above doesn’t mention the hat being at all indecisive about where to put Neville. The hat wasn’t going “hmmm this is tough you’re pretty Gryffindor but you’re kind of Hufflepuff too”. It was probably more like “Yep! Gryffindor for sure!” Followed by Neville being all “No I’m totally a Hufflepuff!” and then proceeding to argue with the hat about it for almost 5 minutes. (Which when you think about it is a super Gryffindor thing to do.) By the end the hat was probably like oh my god kid you’re so Gryffindor you’re practically Godric’s heir shut up and get sorted there already!
“You’re practically Godric’s heir!”
As Neville pulls the sword of Gryffindor from the depths of the hat seven years later, the hat must have been so fucking smug. Like “oh yeah kid, this is such a Hufflepuff thing to do. Charge in with a blade and the bare basics of a plan that basically boils down to ‘I trust Harry, kill the snake.’ Helga would TOTALLY have done that. Oh wait! Did I say Helga? I MEANT GRYFFINDOR!”
Nunes is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee because, in talking about the documents, he may have leaked classified information. But this is like getting Al Capone for tax evasion. The bigger scandal is the coördinated effort to use the American intelligence services to manufacture an excuse for Trump’s original tweet.
The intelligence source told me that he knows, “from talking to people in the intelligence community,” that “the White House said, ‘We are going to mobilize to find something to justify the President’s tweet that he was being surveilled.’ They put out an all-points bulletin”—a call to sift through intelligence reports—“and said, ‘We need to find something that justifies the President’s crazy tweet about surveillance at Trump Tower.’ And I’m telling you there is no way you get that from those transcripts, which are about as plain vanilla as can be.” (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)
