Theodor de Bry. The True Picture of a Woman Picte. 1588. Â
A Pict woman (a member of an ancient Celtic people from Scotland) stands with a long spear held upright in her left hand, and two long spears held horizontally in her right. She wears only a large ring around her waist, from which a curved sword hangs behind her, and a smaller ring around her neck. Much of her body is painted or tattooed.Â
âThe women of the Picts above said were no worse for the wars than the men. And were painted after the manner following, having their heads bare, did let their hair flying about their shoulders, were painted with griffon heads, the low parts and thighs with lion faces, or some other beast as it comes best into their fancy. Their breast hath a manner of a half moon, with a great star, and four lesser in both the sides, their paps (nipples) painted in manner of beams of the Sun, and among all this a great lightning star upon their breasts. The saids of some points or beams, and the whole belly as a Sun, the arms, thighs, and legs well-painted, of diverse figures: They did also carry about their necks an iron ring, as the men did, and such a girdle with the great sword hanging, having a pick or a lance in one hand, and two darts in the other.â

We happily accept that we can love more than one child, parent, sibling, teacher, friend or pet. When you think of it like that, isnât the total exclusiveness that we expect of spousal love positively weird?
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (via sydneythelibrarian)
There is no need to apologize for loving without barriers. There is no shame in refusing to sabotage your happiness to pacify the fears of others.

I no longer love blue skies. In fact, I now wish for grey skies.
The drones do not fly when the skies are grey. - Zubair Rehman, after his grandmother was murdered by US drone strikes in Pakistan
Zubairâs sister Nabila holds a photo with a drawing she made depicting a drone strike that killed her grandmother.
Long thought lost, the trailer arrived, after being found in the Taco Time parking lot in Missoula. It was being inhabited by a few low on their luck individuals. And though we felt for them, they also stole our trailer and threw out all our stuff that it contained. So we didnât call the cops. We did call our amazing freinds that helped us move her for a day and then the next day a local was able to pull her through the jocko wilderness to our back door. The plan is to tear it down to the chassis and make my mother a tiny home out of it. seems in the universe is in support of the plan as I still canât believe we got it back at all.Â

General Advice
try your best. not everyone can get all As, and getting all As does not make you better than everyone else. just do the best you can and be the best person you can be.
donât sleep in class! i know it seems so so tempting but slept my way through geography last year and i got a C in my exam instead of the expected A soâŠ
Donât tick off your teacher, follow the rules to an extent, get to class on time, respect your classmates and teachers. you know, just be a decent person.
be positive!!! and not just for the first week or so, keep the positivity going throughout the whole school year. if you donât believe in yourself then why should anyone else?
"you can do it, wildcat, i believe in u" â something troy bolton said one time probably definitely
Smile and introduce yourself to people- whether youâre sitting next to them or have seen them in more than one of your classes. Everyone likes to make new friends (even if weâre too shy to do it most of the time).
Find which clubs look interesting and go to their first meetings- thereâs never an obligation to join, but you might meet a lot of new friends.
Get advice from other students on if your classes/teachers are difficult and figure out which ones youâll need to work the hardest in.
this or this. itâll whip your ass into gear. you name a list of websites that distract you, set a timer, and bam. no more hour long study breaks. the best - or worst - part is, it canât be undone by the application, by deleting the application, or by restarting the computer. you just gotta wait, and if youâre going to wait, you may as well study.
goals. when you sit down to study, write down everything youâre going to do. then do it. aimlessly staring at your books wonât do shit.
something to listen to. i suggest movie scores, song covers by the vitamin string quartet
a queue. if youâre really obsessed with keeping your blog up to date, set aside some time, fatten up your queue, and let your blog run itself for a few days.
breaks. during your breaks, dance, run around, work out, go for a walk, talk to your friends, call your mom. going back on the internet is an easy way to get out of the mood, so i wouldnât suggest it.
tea and coffee - if not for the caffeine, then for the feeling of cozying up with your text books and feeling studious.
a place to study. it doesnât matter if itâs in a coffee house, a library, or your kitchen table. as long as your bedâs not in sight and tempting you into a nap, youâre good.
your mental health is more important than your grades/school work
you are fabulous
theyâre probably not even paying attention when you give a presentation
one friend is better than no friends
eat a healthy lunch
take care of yourself
please stay safe
your mental health is more important than your grades/school work
I love you

We need system change to stop climate change September 20, 2014
Viking I landed on Mars, the Ramones released their first album, the Soweto Uprising began in South Africa, North and South Vietnam reunified to become the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and Gerald Ford was in the White House.
1976: The same year scientists discovered that refrigerant chemicals, chlorofluorocarbons, better known as CFCs, were responsible for creating a hole in the ozone layer was also the last time when global average temperatures were below the 20th century norm.
Hence, the earth has now experienced 353 consecutive monthsâor an astonishing 38 years in a rowâ of above average temperatures. In terms of hot and cold spells, snowfall patterns and the number of extremely hot or cold days, there are millions of people alive today who have no direct experience of the kind of planet their parents grew up on.
For communities of small farmers and pastoralistsâwho number in the hundreds of millions around the worldâdependent on seasonal bio-indicators for information on rainfall, planting, harvesting and herd movements, this becomes a life-and-death question. Knowledge from elders about the annual rhythms of springtime flowering; flocks of migratory birds; the emergence of butterflies, pests and other pollinating insects; trees and plants blooming; and when to expect rain is becoming dangerously unreliable, and even irrelevant.
Examining the situation in the U.S., one only has to look at the photography of drought-afflicted California, where 50 percent of the fruit, nuts and vegetables for the whole United States are grown, to imagine what is going to happen to food production and the price of agricultural produce in a warming world.
The loss of water in the stateâ240 gigatons of surface and groundwater, an amount equivalent to almost 10 cm (4 inches) of water spread over the entire Westâis so great that the mountains are measurably rising, as the weight on them diminishes.
For exactly half of those 38 years since 1976, world leaders have been discussing at international climate talks what to do about the increase in global temperatures resulting from the burning of fossil fuels and land-use changes.
Such societal activities have increased the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the key global warming gas, from a pre-industrial level of 280 parts per million (ppm) to 400 ppmâhaving some time ago exceeded 350 ppm, the danger level calculated by scientists. Yet even as the science has become more definitive, and the direct impacts on our landscapes and climate ever more obvious, the political landscape has deteriorated faster than a California lake.
Indeed, world leaders and negotiators for the UN inter-governmental process on climate change, begun 19 years ago, have at this point essentially given up. The coming climate summit in Paris in December 2015âbilled as the meeting that would finally adopt an international plan for replacing the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 to deal with carbon dioxide emissions and deforestationâis already acknowledged by participants as completely inadequate and having âno chance,â more than a year before it is set to take place.
As a new report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, titled âExpectations for a New Climate Agreement,â says:
We doubt there will be negotiation specifically on quantitative national emissions reduction targets, as under the Berlin Mandate [agreed to in 1995]. Furthermore, any legal provisions included in an agreement will not be of a form requiring ratification by national legislative bodies. Involvement by the United States is crucial to any future regime, and the U.S. Senate is an impassable barrier on the horizon of COP-21 negotiations.
So more than a year ahead of negotiations that are supposed to map out and finalize a global deal on significant emissions reductionsâwhich in any case were not due to come into effect until five years laterâwe already know the outcome: there will be no specific limits on emissions or targets for setting them; nothing will be enforceable and whatever happens will be merely voluntary; and the U.S., the biggest polluter in history, will be the major obstacle.
The âimpassable barrierâ of the U.S. Senate, more than half of whom are Democrats at the moment, means that 100 peopleâthe majority of them millionaires, 80 of them male, 93 of them white, 85 identifying as Christian, with an average age of 62 and an average ofmore than 10 years in the same jobâare holding hostage 7 billion people, millions of species and the climate stability of the entire planet.
Is it any wonder that a recent Princeton study, titled âTesting Theories of American Politics,â affirmed what many Americanâs already know: The United States of America is not a democracy in any meaningful sense. The report notes:
In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not ruleâat least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
The study also reports: âThe net alignments of the most influential, business oriented groups are negatively related to the average citizenâs wishes.â Which means that not only do ordinary people in the United States have virtually no influence on government policy, despite formal national elections which might suggest otherwise, but the policies that are enacted under the influence of a small economic and political elite are contrary to the expressed desires of the majority of the population.
Many examples related to issues like taxing the rich, public health care and education could be cited. On the environmental front, several polls show majorities in favor of stronger U.S. government action on climate change. And contrary to a popular myth, the polls show consistently higher support from people of color, due to the fact that they are most directly, immediately and worst affected by environmental problems.

The constant wobbling as they move is a part of their disguise, making it seem as though the âleafâ is only moving because of a light breeze.
If you blow on one it will also shake around in the hopes of matching any actual surrounding leaves

I think the single biggest problem that exists with schooling is that it ends up convincing most people that theyâre mediocre, and then the talented people get regrouped and are forced to compete with each other, and then most of them get convinced that theyâre mediocre as well, and you sort of cycle and repeat, until peopleâs dreams and aspirations are badly beaten out of them over time.â
Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and the Thiel Fellowship, as told to Dale J. Stephens, founder of Uncollege.Org. (via sheamcguier)
