What is your favorite TV show that is not:

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Love a good rejection email during a Monday morning meeting. Tbf the job application rejection emails come in at all times (basically one for every job I apply to) but to have it arrive while I’m sitting in an already annoying meeting on a Monday morning seems extra personal.

The Epstein files are not just about pedophilia. Trafficking children for sexual abuse is deeply heinous, so it makes sense that it's captured our attention. But pedophilia is not the point.

The point is that we live with a global network of elites who have enough power to treat politics, laws, public opinion, international treaties, and all other people as personal assets.

The point is that nobody is truly safe or sovereign when a handful of rich assholes have access to this kind of power.

The point is that Epstein being dead and Maxwell being in jail does nothing at all to alter the power structure.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.

“These six-pack rings are 100 percent biodegradable and edible—constructed of barley and wheat ribbons from the brewing process. This packaging can actually be safely eaten by animals that may come into contact with the refuse.“ (x) 

They use food their food waste to make them, so it’s a safer alternative that cuts down on plastic waste and food waste

[autisticexpression]

I also love that "Floridaman" is one word.

[fittingoutjane]

I also love that the news understands the word to the point that they’re being deliberately ironic and using it in positive stories.

[belligerent-butterfly]

About time! I was scarred as a child seeing adverts of penguins and birds and other wildlife with those plastic rings stuck round their necks, and I have ALWAYS made sure to cut them not just open but into pieces just in case they make it into the wild somehow. Finally some good news and positive use of the concept of “Floridaman”
