Nice propaganda there.

Cryptocurrency gives the poor a chance to retire.

oh and btw my father died alone while I was working overtime for a lie. One of the managers involved accidentally confessed. I sent the evidence to the FBI. They did nothing about felonies being committed across state lines. I sent the evidence to John Oliver. He didn’t bother to reply to me. I sent the evidence to Bernie Sanders, champion of the poor. He didn’t feel I was worth a fucking STAMP.

There are no socialists in America. They are liberals pretending. I have a 20 year history of voting for the democrats, but the liberals have a 100 year history of alternately using and then ignoring the poor for their own sadistic amusement. Don’t believe me? Do the research yourself.

They do NOT care if you live or die. They all want to be part of the good old boys club and all secretly want to fellate Donald Trump’s golden money penis. They will step on whatever poor people they need to on the way.

Cryptocurrency is a way for the poor to escape the death trap of capitalism, and so you will be seeing and hearing a lot of anti-cryptocurrency propaganda.

You can reblog and echo that propaganda, or investigate for yourself.

literally every sleep advice pamphlet and website: don’t do things before bedtime! no reading! no video games! don’t watch tv! nothing stimulating at all within two hours of going to bed! :)

me, an adhd: you fools. you buffoons. i can’t even manage one minute without stimulation. i will die before following this advice and that is a threat

My go-to-sleep routine involves ramping down with less stimulating input for a couple hours, but having some form of media until I literally can’t keep my eyes open.

Of course, my sleep schedule is “surprise me,” so this may not be the best advice.

If you’re someone who experiences an absence of stimulation as [negative] stimulation, it makes sense that that advice wouldn’t work for you. 

(I don’t know whether it’s that way with ADHD, but it can be with autism, so I’m thinking it’s likely.)

Health advice that excludes disabled people is a constant irritation.  I saw an article once about research supposedly finding that spending much time sitting down shortens your life, and someone who needed a wheelchair full-time commented underneath “Well, that’s me fucked, then”.  Sums it up.

Heyyyyyyyy you want a piece of life-changing advice from your local ADHD gremlin?

Hang out in bed.

I kept hearing that you should only be in your bed for sleep and that all your other activities - like reading, internetsing, talking on the phone, playing games, etc. - should be done somewhere other than the bed so that you could associate the bed with sleep.

You know how I’ve averaged three to five hours of sleep a night for about seventeen years? (you probably didn’t know; let me tell you IT SUCKED) I’m approaching a MUCH healthier average of five to seven hours through the simple expedient of hanging out in bed around bed time.

You know why?

Because I would get sleepy out in my not-bed but I couldn’t get my executive function to cooperate with getting me into bed.

I’d sit in my chair and hang out on tumblr or have a book in my hand and around 3 am I’d be fighting to keep my eyes open but I wouldn’t get the motivation to get out of my chair and go to bed until around 4.

Now I start hanging out in my bed at about midnight and when I get tired at one or two I can just take off my glasses and go to sleep. There are still hyperfocus incidents - I’ve gotten sucked into a book until 6 once or twice since I started doing this, but that’s once or twice in four months instead of going to bed at 5am every night.

So yeah, FUCK sleep hygeine if it’s actually preventing you from getting to sleep. There is no way the blue light from my phone could be worse for sleep than the ADHD “I’ll get up and go to bed in a minute” mode was for me.

this is the bedtime version of “running the dishwasher twice”

pay the ADHD tax upfront; embrace the second-best solution rather than the perfect one you’re half as likely to do or use

This is why I like webnovels, ebooks, and webtoons. I can read and scroll without my glasses so I can just drift straight to sleep without worry.

The best solution is the one that works.

Ah yes, the band made up entirely of lifelong political activists, and which contains at least one Harvard Political Science honors graduate, should “stay out of politics” lmao. Anyone who didn’t realize RATM has ALWAYS been political has obviously never paid attention to their lyrics.

the only thing funnier is that this is the second time in the past year that RATM fans are discovering what the machine is like do y’all just not listen to the words or

i thought they were just Florence haters 😔

Now I want a Florence and RATM collaboration project called “Florence Against the Machine.”

Harley Quinn who recently kidnapped Bruce Wayne and texted Scarecrow to meet her: “Alright Brucie Boy, you’re probably wondering why I kidnapped you, and don’t worry! It’s not for anything "villainous” or the like. You might not remember it but I remember me and you being in med school together along with Crane and I thought we could form a club since we never got to start one in school since you dipped in the middle of the year!“

Scarecrow who just walked in: "That’s seriously why we’re here? I thought you needed my help. You said it was urgent.”

Harley holding up a tote bag: “It is urgent! I made t-shirts and I need to know of they fit!”

Bruce who honestly just wanted a nap: “Let’s just see the shirts Quinzel.”

Scarecrow: You’re actually going along with this!?“

Bruce raising a brow and looking down at the rooes that are binding him to a chair: "I don’t have much of a choice…”

Scarecrow: “…Fair point. Okay Harley show us the shirts.”

Harley pulls out a crop top shirt proudly, it’s half red, half black that has ‘OFFICIAL FUCK FREUD CLUB’ on the chest: “I got em personalized! Bruce gets a black turtleneck because he was the soft goth boy in med school and he’s still a little goth baby. John you get a flannel that has the sayin’ on the back! Aren’t they cute?”

Bruce remembering how much he hated Freud and having to listen to his methods and ideas in school, and how he, Harley, and John would shit talk him in their study group: “Okay I actually love this idea and the shirts.”

Scarecrow trying to hide how touched he is: “You got me flannel?”

Nature in Florida is so weird??

I was out hiking where the trail ran alongside this river that was moving pretty fast, but a couple miles in it just disappeared.

The river was gone. It just stopped, like someone had snipped it in half and taken away the rest.

So I stopped and stared at it a while, trying to figure out what the heck was going on, because the water was flowing very rapidly, but the river had abruptly ended.

Finally, this old man in a pair of worn overalls stopped next to me to watch as well, before leaning over and asking

“First time seein’ it?”

I responded “yes”, and he continued:

“It goes underground here, pops back up some three miles west. Not the best swimmin’ spot, for obvious reasons, though that don’t stop people from tryin’.”

So I asked him what he meant and he said,

“Lots of dumb folk with no regard for God’s nature die out here every year. Scientists, usually.”

We talked a little more and eventually went our separate ways, but when I got home I decided to look in to what happens to the river when it plunges underground like that.

It turns out it submerges and travels through a complex cave system for a few miles, and millions of gallons of pressurized water travels through there each day.

It gets cooler though!

Apparently, when water levels were low enough during a drought, researchers were able to send divers and probes through the cave system and found both animal and human remains, some of which included mastodons, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats and more. The human remains date back to about 7500 BC.

Anyway, Florida is weird and we have deadly underground rivers filled with cool prehistoric animals I guess.

#WHY IS FLORIDA LIKE THIS#ANNIHILATION MAN WASNT KIDDING WHEN HE SAID FLORIDA WAS FUCKED AND FULL OF FUNGUS

@deadcatwithaflamethrower

Oooh, they’re talking about the Sante Fe River! It starts out near where I grew up. My parents (and later, my brother’s family) lived just off the last surviving “real” part of Bellamy Road, which was the first major east/west roadway in the state and used to cross the landbridge that covers the part of the river that’s underwater. (It’s the oldest roadway in the state…and they only finished paving it in the last decade. Progress, folks.)

The drought they’re referring to in the article ran from 2000-2004 at its worst, and I lived near a different, smaller river at the time. You could stroll down it like it was a creek, the deepest parts maybe up to your knees…and it was like walking through a cavern. The river banks were six feet over your head. Fossils were pretty much everywhere, one of which was a Sirenian rib fragment that sits on the nightstand next to my bed.

That smaller river is the Sampson River–which flows directly into the Santa Fe.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

-Stephen Jay Gould.

This quote is great because so was Einstein himself! He never saw himself as a genius, as a mind like no other. He saw himself as a guy who studied alot and he was very dedicated to give that opportunity to others. He also spoke very openly against racism and was one of the few professors that thought black people at the time. Here are some great pictures of him in 1946

Adding onto this: I really recommend Einstein’s short, entry-level essay “Why Socialism?”, found here. It’s ~10 min read and it does a great job of explaining the crux of socialism. 

Here are some of his major points:

• The individual and society form a symbiotic relationship. A healthy individual needs a healthy society and a healthy society needs healthy individuals.
• Capitalism undermines democracy by concentrating wealth into the hands of an economic elite, which in turn funds a political elite to represent its interests in government. The ultra-rich also control the media and educational systems to manipulate public opinion and prevent free thought. (Here Einstein is pre-empting Noam Chomsky and Ed Herman’s propaganda model).
• Capitalism’s profit motive entails human needs going unmet to satisfy human greed.   
• The “worst evil” of capitalism is the crippling of individuals, which begins in school where an exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student.
• A transition to socialism is necessary to overcome these problems, and is in fact imperative to avert constant warfare and ecological catastrophe. We need a fully democratic society where society’s productive capacity is not concentrated into the hands of a few, but owned by workers and society itself. 

Please do not ignore one of the bedrock reasons why Einstein identified with black people in America: Einstein was a German Jew.  Check those dates.  He fled the Nazis.

My coworker: im not gonna get the vaccine. How’d they make it so quickly?? Not a good sign

Me: it’s because we’ve known about coronaviruses for a while

My coworker: you literally said earlier that we couldnt have caught corona when we were kids because it didnt exist yet

Me: i said we couldnt have caught it when we were kids because it hadnt made the jump to humans yet, for one, and for two, there’s more than one coronavirus.

My coworker: what

Me: there’s more than one coronavirus. SARS and MERS have been studied for years, and vaccines for them have been studied for years. The COVID vaccine wasnt built from the ground up, we just already had a lot of the starting work done already.

Me: Like. Is anybody surprised when Toyota comes out with new cars every year? No. They don’t cry witchcraft and say shit like “oh they made that car too fast, it must not be safe,” because they didnt reinvent the car, they just added some new bells and whistles. Same with the vaccine. They didn’t reinvent the wheel here, they just looked at an existing wheel and altered it to make it work better.

My coworker: oh. *turns to other coworker* i cant believe you were afraid of the vaccine!! You just gotta do your research, man

Me: YOU DIDNT DO YOUR RESEARCH EITHER

To follow up on this since this post has been getting reblogged a lot recently, 2 other things helped get the vaccine approved in record time:

1) Demand. SO much demand for a working vaccine, which translated to SO much funding. Like fistfulls of money just being chucked at it. This wasnt the case for the earlier coronavirus-type vaccines, which is why a vaccine for those were never completed. Neither SARS nor MERS ever became pandemics, so there wasnt much funding. But for COVID, the entire world was demanding a vaccine. That much demand = a shitload of money. Money talks, man,

2) usually vaccines take so long because all the steps happen sequentially. Like Part A has to be completed, then Part B, Part C, etc. But one of the (subjectively) cool things about this vaccine is that so many governments went “yeah that’s too slow” this time, and started doing steps concurrently. It sped up production A LOT because the folks in charge of Part C didnt have to wait for Part A and Part B to finish, they could just jump on their tasks right away.

All this info is easy to find just by googling “why was the covid vaccine finished to quickly,” btw, in case y’all want to gather some more knowledge to dunk on all y’all’s antivaxx coworkers, or to bring anybody who is just genuinely under-informed up to speed.
