So you might know Jessi from SciShow Talk Show. She and her husband run a small business educating people about wildlife with abandoned or displaced exotic animal that canât be released into the wild. Sheâs brought in all kinds of amazing animals for us to share with our audience; the Prehensile-Tailed Porcupine probably being the most famous.Â
Jessi and her husband Augusto recently adopted twin, two-month old boys. A couple of months later, one of them, Jackson, was diagnosed with a rare seizure disorder that is interfering with his development. The insurance is covering his wheel chair and medications, but they wonât cover the elevator necessary to get Jackson into his house or the wheelchair-accessible van they need to move around as a family.Â
Jessi and Augusto are two of the hardest working and most compassionate people Iâve ever met. Iâm so pleased to have been able to work with them. Unfortunately, they just donât have the money to provide for all of Jacksonâs needs. Theyâve set up a YouCaring page if youâd like to find out more about how you can help.Â
Girls are trained to say, âI wrote this, but itâs probably really stupid.â Well, no, you wouldnât write a novel if you thought it was really stupid. Men are much more comfortable going, âI wrote this book because I have a unique perspective that the world needs to hear.â Girls are taught from the age of seven that if you get a compliment, you donât go, âThank youâ, you go, âNo, youâre insane.â
Lena Dunham, in an interview with The Guardian (x)Â (via blackbruise)
Iâm not all about Lena Dunham, but this is important.
Thereâs a paradox in thinking that youâre better than other girls, when your whole reason for feeling that way is because you think your gender is so inherently inferior that you want to dis-identify with being a girl altogether.
More Than Words: Tomboys R Us
THIS whenever some girl brags about being âone of the boysâ or says something like âIâm not like other girls, I LOVE [stereotypically masculine thing].â
In a startling revelation, the daughter of Ugandan President Yoweri ÂMuseveni admitted today during a radio talk show in Mbarara, in Western Uganda that she is homosexual, and that she is revealing this fact as a protest to the anti-gay law her father signed only a few days ago.
Diana Kamuntu, Museveniâs daughter said that though she loves her father unconditionally, she does not agree with Ugandaâs anti-gay stance, and will fight against it.
âI am gay, I am homosexual. I have known this since I was a little girl. Also, I have been Christian all of my life, so I will not tolerate any law of this supposedly democratic nation, that will place hate on any person just because of what his or her sexual orientation happens to be,â said Kamuntu.
âNow that I finally revealed my sexual orientation, I put myself in front of this new law and I will let our people decide what to do with me,â Kamuntu adds, as her voice breaks down while on air.
The radio host, James Kasirivu noticeably was in shock, and could not seemingly get words out of his mouth.
The live radio broadcast was abruptly shortened and was put off air after a few hours of repeated commercials.
In the latest setback for homosexuals across Africa, the Ugandan President signed a law Monday that imposes tough penalties for homosexual acts, a move that has been condemned from around the world and that may jeopardize Ugandaâs relationship with the United States and other Western nations.
As of this writing, neither the radio station nor the office of Ugandan President Yoweri ÂMuseveni could be reached for comment.
