space shit is cancelled until we solve homelessness and poverty

[transhumanist-viking-deactivate]

I mean, the military budget of the USA is around 824.6 billion. 

NASA’s budget is only 18-19 billion

It’s estimated that to end extreme poverty would take 175 billion dollars

Clearly, it’s space stuff that’s taking up all money that could otherwise go to help people. 

[thebibliomancer]

We can’t cut the space budget. We need it to launch the billionaires into the sun

[khaustic]

At its peak, funding NASA returned 8 dollars to the economy for every dollar it was given and singlehandedly advanced technology by decades. The money doesn’t get launched into space: all the benefits stay here.

THANK

[theriversdaughter]

Fuck this “Cut science and art because poor people exist!” bullshit.  Make fucking rich people pay their damned taxes.  That *ALONE* solves the vast majority of the problems.  Make employers hire more people, not keep condensing job duties into more and more single positions (some of us are getting sick of doing the work of three people on barely the salary for one of them).  Demand pay rates increase so that EVERYONE with a job makes enough to support themselves.  Demand better health care, so that people don’t lose their homes and jobs because someone in their family got fucking cancer, or chronic illness, or severe injury.   Science isn’t the problem.  The problem is capitalism and greed.

BISEXUALITY ATTRACTION

so many people asume that bisexuality works like this:

but it differs from person to person 

for me it is more like this:

or some days this:

for some people it works like this:

or

it just depends on them and their feelings

some times people are more attracted to one gender rather than the other, that does not make them any less of a bisexual

[nationalcity-googlesearches]

Reblogging this for any bi followers

[distractedbythedictionary]

Thank you. Sometimes it feels like because I’m more attracted to boys than I am girls, I lose bisexual ‘points’ with other queer folks and it’s really frustrating. Just because someone else who is bi happens to have a preference for girls doesn’t make them more valid than me.

[wordmage-girl]

I’ve always been more attracted to girls, but I’m dating a guy now and I constantly have to remind myself that it doesn’t make me less queer. Internalized biphobia is a hell of a thing.

teaching children that they are allowed to walk away and cool off if they are feeling overwhelmed might literally save their life as teens/adults

[mullersturtleneck]

I am a preschool teacher.

This is my “alone zone.”

At any time of the day, if my kids are feeling stressed, they can go here to cool down. There’s stress toys, silly putty, bubbles, sensory bottles…there’s books and headphones to block out the loud noises.

The only thing they have to do is “check in” by putting their picture on which emotion they’re feeling so I know how I can help them when they’re ready.

Kids. Need. Space.

Kids. Need. Coping. Mechanisms.

Not. Time-outs.

And the sooner we as adults teach them that, the better off they’ll be as they grow.

My brother became a teacher because of the ones he had who offered safe spaces and taught him how to calm down when he was struggling hard with ADHD and dyslexia.
