A statement without evidence is a lie.

Here’s what Herodotus wrote 440 B.C about Ancient Egyptian race “they are black-skinned and have woolly hair”

You can read it for yourself in the book Histories: http://classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.mb.txt

Don’t mind the haters & Thank you for your awesome blog !

[afrotexturedhistory]

*mod note* Thanks, I don’t know much about the authenticity of the image. But I do know about Herodotus’ description of the ancient Egyptians. I also made reference to it in my essay, “The African Context of Hair in Ancient Egypt”. 

And although it does bother me that anti-black imaginations lingers to this day, I do find it quite fun to converse with those people.

I'm making a collection

[theweirdwideweb]

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

[theweirdwideweb]

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

[handsmotif]

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍

[memesnotwelcome]

It’s like dominos pizza: the chain would go under if all customers used the coupons & deals. The people who don’t care to check keep the company afloat.

It’s the same with the pharmaceutical industry. How does that make you feel 🙃

Mr. Rogers had an intentional manner of speaking to children, which his writers called “Freddish”. There were nine steps for translating into Freddish: 

“State the idea you wish to express as clearly as possible, and in terms preschoolers can understand.” Example: It is dangerous to play in the street. ​​​​​​

“Rephrase in a positive manner,” as in It is good to play where it is safe.

“Rephrase the idea, bearing in mind that preschoolers cannot yet make subtle distinctions and need to be redirected to authorities they trust.” As in, “Ask your parents where it is safe to play.”

“Rephrase your idea to eliminate all elements that could be considered prescriptive, directive, or instructive.” In the example, that’d mean getting rid of “ask”: Your parents will tell you where it is safe to play.

“Rephrase any element that suggests certainty.” That’d be “will”: Your parents can tell you where it is safe to play.

“Rephrase your idea to eliminate any element that may not apply to all children.” Not all children know their parents, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play.

“Add a simple motivational idea that gives preschoolers a reason to follow your advice.” Perhaps: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is good to listen to them.

“Rephrase your new statement, repeating the first step.” “Good” represents a value judgment, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them.

“Rephrase your idea a final time, relating it to some phase of development a preschooler can understand.” Maybe: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them, and listening is an important part of growing.

Mr. Rogers Had a Simple Set of Rules for Talking to Children - The Atlantic

[mswyrr-deactivated20181203]

Rogers brought this level of care and attention not just to granular details and phrasings, but the bigger messages his show would send. Hedda Sharapan, one of the staff members at Fred Rogers’s production company, Family Communications, Inc., recalls Rogers once halted taping of a show when a cast member told the puppet Henrietta Pussycat not to cry; he interrupted shooting to make it clear that his show would never suggest to children that they not cry.

In working on the show, Rogers interacted extensively with academic researchers. Daniel R. Anderson, a psychologist formerly at the University of Massachusetts who worked as an advisor for the show, remembered a speaking trip to Germany at which some members of an academic audience raised questions about Rogers’s direct approach on television. They were concerned that it could lead to false expectations from children of personal support from a televised figure. Anderson was impressed with the depth of Rogers’s reaction, and with the fact that he went back to production carefully screening scripts for any hint of language that could confuse children in that way.

In fact, Freddish and Rogers’s philosophy of child development is actually derived from some of the leading 20th-century scholars of the subject. In the 1950s, Rogers, already well known for a previous children’s TV program, was pursuing a graduate degree at The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary when a teacher there recommended he also study under the child-development expert Margaret McFarland at the University of Pittsburgh. There he was exposed to the theories of legendary faculty, including McFarland, Benjamin Spock, Erik Erikson, and T. Berry Brazelton. Rogers learned the highest standards in this emerging academic field, and he applied them to his program for almost half a century.

This is one of the reasons Rogers was so particular about the writing on his show. “I spent hours talking with Fred and taking notes,” says Greenwald, “then hours talking with Margaret McFarland before I went off and wrote the scripts. Then Fred made them better.” As simple as Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood looked and sounded, every detail in it was the product of a tremendously careful, academically-informed process.

That idea is REALLY worth learning to talk to the kiddos. Mr. Rogers still has a lot to teach us–especially for our own kids.

1.12 | A Prayer for the Non-Believer 

If God’s too busy, guess you can pray to me but I gotta be honest, I don’t exactly believe.

I’ve got questions, you see, ‘bout how this all works, who fixed my heart? and what did it cost?

Everything’s got a price, right? And ‘a life for a life’? That ain’t salvation, I say. No dice.

You know what I’ve got faith in? What I can see. Reality. What’s real? Is it you and me?

Wish I could peel back my skin, just to know my own heart, and, yeah, I’ve got questions, Like, 'Why’d you save me?’ for a start.

And, 'What did you see?’ And, 'Am I deserving? Why, O, why me?’

                    And was it good?

The blind-faith, healer-man says it’s all big picture. I got a purpose, I guess. Big job to do.

Maybe I’ll move Heaven and Hell, or just do this. Breathe a few prayers through sinful lips.

So, here we are, just us two, tell me your plight and I’ll see what I can do.

Can’t believe for me, but for you, yeah, I’ll pray. Down on my dirty knees for you, I’ll pray.

for @faithdeans 1k celebration. Had the idea for a faith!dean prayer card for a while and now was the time! While making this I searched to see if there already was such a saint. The answer was no, not really, because the non-believer wouldn’t pray to a saint. Well, I think Dean would make a great patron saint to the faithless. He gets it. He’ll try to help, knock on some doors upstairs, and if there’s no answer, well, he’ll find a way.
