Just started watching this series. I love it.

this is terrifying

Here’s what’s happening in Australia at the moment.

For some context:  Mallacoota is a tourist town, usual population is a little over 1000, but at peak tourist times, it can be as high as 8000. There was an estimated 4000 there today, when the extreme heat, peaking at 49C/120F, combined with high winds, to spark a large, intense fire in the bushland around the area. This pretty much blocked off all ways out of the town, leading to all 4000 people being evacuated to the beach, with the emergency plan basically being “If the fire comes this way, get in the water” Thankfully, the wind did change direction, and as far as I’ve heard, most of the town was spared, but this is how bad the drought, heat, and fire situations have become in australia. And our government still refuses to make solid policies on climate change.

NSW Bush Fires - How you can help

If you’re not in a place to give money, you can boost!!

this week in I Am Very Smart: having enough money to go to the opera, museums and concerts correlates with having enough money for food, shelter and basic health needs

[cyborgfirelord]

They controlled for socioeconomic factors though! The people who conducted this study knew that people with lots of money to attend the opera were also more likely to be able to afford basic necessities, so they controlled for it in their analysis. The fun thing about statistics is that you can control for different confounding factors so you can look at the effects of one independent variable (opera or whatever) on the dependent variable (mortality). Part of being critical of potential biases is actually reading the article and knowing what to look for.

[starstuffandalotofcoffee]

In addition to that very good point about controlling for socioeconomic factors, the article says a single museum or concert per year makes a difference. Most cities have free community concerts (some even have free opera performances!) and museums that are either free, pay-what-you-want, or at least have specific days/times during which they are free or at a significantly reduced cost. Many libraries (which are free) provide free museum passes to card holders. In fact, the article quotes a museum worker who works at a free art museum in Baltimore.

If you actually read the article you would also read that educators are excited about this study because it provides evidence that the arts should be made more accessible financially - by restoring arts programs in the public schools, for example.

In a personal note. I know I feel mentally refreshed after visiting a museaum.

This is my new all time favourite photo of Ben Solo to exist ever

I really just wish we could have gotten more of this happiness, he deserved to spend his life with Rey.

han solo x ben solo parallels

[driverdaily]

Thank you Adam Driver for playing Ben Solo in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (2015-2019)

[ancient-depressed-druid]

Say whatever the fuck you want about kylo ren/Ben solo/ star wars.

HOWEVER, no matter who you are, we all have to agree that this smile

This smile is so amazing. Adam is normally a very serious person, the cast even said that he rarely smiles, so each smile is cherished by his co-stars, and now I understand why.

This man's smile can cure my fucking depression if just for a few minutes, it is soft, warm, innocent. I feel like I'm seeing a completely different person and I'm not even seeing his whole face.

So, in the end, love or hate the character but acknowledge how great of an actor Adam driver really is. And how amazing his smile is.

[cheecanaan]

His smile was the best thing I saw this year
