Reblog This To Remind The Person You Reblogged It From That Theyre Loved

i’ll probably expand on this later, but the best ADHD Hack ™ I’ve found/sussed out is: 

bundle habits together, but don’t bundle tasks together.

me taking my meds, chanting: meth! meth! meth! meth! *pauses to swallow pill* meth! meth! meth! meth! meth!

Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers

I am not surprised that anti-choice zealots would hypocritically obtain abortions, but I am thoroughly fucking shocked that they wouldn’t even attempt to hide their anti-choice views when doing so. 

Story time:

In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.

Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.

What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.

The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.

So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.

Do you like poems?

yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem

Some of that (like possibly the glasses thing) will be gov subsidies. That said the point 100% still stands and I'm absolutely doing my part

Nothing pisses me off so much like the price of goods being arbitrary. Like capitalism cant even be assed to hide how much of a farce it is. My prescription glasses cost the same as a bag of bagels. An 8 hr flight to california costs less than an hour flight to newark. Steal everything you can it means fuck all 👍

''i want more weird queer people'' you guys cant even handle when an intersex person fucking exists near you

Some people forget that not liking something is not equal to being against it

tumblr still thinks you’re not allowed to dislike anything unless you have some ethical reason for it
