if someone refuses to better themselves, that’s on them and you’re not obligated to stick around and hold their hand while they complain about the big mean world demanding that they own up to their own actions
something everyone should take note on.

A book crystallized in the ocean
oh mood
NO NO NO.
This was not crystallized by the ocean. People. No. This is why artist credit is SO DAMN IMPORTANT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE MISINFORMED HERE.
Alexis Arnold is an artist who creates crystallized books. Her work is amazing and beautiful, she’s made dozens of these.
This particular one was not made by her, however, it was actually created by Catherine McEver - who was inspired to try it after seeing a show of Alexis Arnold’s work. It’s literally the first picture on Google image results if you search for “crystallized books” and she posted about it on her blog showing other process shots as she made it.
TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN ARE BEING DEPRIVED OF CREDIT FOR THEIR CREATIVITY BECAUSE THIS FALSE INFORMATION IS BEING SPREAD. FUCK THAT.
people will excuse a white terrorist for killing dozens before they stop generalizing a whole religion and demanding them to be banned
Inciting fear and hatred around Muslims and POC, specifically brown people, makes it easy for the U.S to justify Iraq and Syria. Simple as that. They are not going to change the narrative as it is advantageous to their current foreign policies.
Anonymous: Just heard my mom talking about the Anthony Rapp thing and saying that what happened to him wasn't sexual assault. She just laughed because she thinks somebody getting drunk and groping you at a party is "a story everyone has, not sexual assault!" and I just. Kinda a spooky thing to wake up to on Halloween, but okay. Do you have anything I could... Idk, that would prove her wrong? I don't want to argue with her, I just want to get this shit out of my head so I don't tell myself it later.

From the US Department of Justice:
Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.
And here’s an article from The Guardian on the subject.
If it was sexual, and you didn’t want it to happen, it was sexual assault. Regardless of the gender of the assailant or the victim. End of story.

This lad really just got other countries’ flags mixed up with state flags in the flag code smh
It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!
I took calculus my senior year of high school, and I really liked the way our teacher framed this on the first day of class.
He asked somebody to raise their hand and ask him when we would use calculus in our everyday life. So one student rose their hand and asked, “When are we going to use this in our everyday life?”
“NEVER!!” the teacher exclaimed. “You will never use calculus in your normal, everyday life. In fact, very few of you will use it in your professional careers either.” Then he paused. “So would you like to know why should care?”
Several us nodded.
He picked out one of the varsity football players in the class. “You practice football a lot during the week, right Tim?” asked the teacher.
“Yeah,” replied Tim. “Almost every day.”
“Do you and your teammates ever lift weights during practice?”
“Yeah. Tuesdays and Thursdays we spend a lot of practice in the weight room.”
“But why?” asked the teacher. “Is there ever going to be a play your coach tells you use during a game that requires you to bench press the other team?”
“No, of course not.”
“Then why lift weights?”
“Because it makes us stronger,” said Tim.
“Bingo!!” said the teacher. “It’s the same thing with calculus. You’re not here because you’re going to use calculus in your everyday life. You’re here because calculus is weightlifting for your brain.”
And I’ve never forgotten that.
