this vine is one year old but everything about this is art. the camera rotates a full 180 degrees around a point. the child in the background misses an easy basketball shot then gets hit in the face in the face with a basketball. the fact that this kids name is semi. the fucking beat is three notes and semi kills that shit with one of the hottest bars dropped in this decade. ‘money add then multiply’ means that semi knows his fuckin shit but he doesnt know how to say mathematics. put this fucking vine on a cd so it can be looped by aliens 3000 years in the future

[wangdude2006]

you missed the kid’s genius - he can spell mathematics, he goes an extra step, it’s (M)oney (A)dd (Th)en (M)ultiply, I call that MATHM-Mathematics

I will always be in awe of Tight Eyez’ footwork here.

These are the faces of disruption. These are the faces of change. These are the people who have had enough of Oklahoma Legislation overfunding new prisons and underfunding Education. The disparity speaks for itself when our state’s priority is $800M being asked to fund the prison industry, but our schools and teachers receive PENNIES and are expected to be content with it!! This state wanted more inmates and less of educated investments that will put money back into our state once they graduate. Our “Joker-faced, pencil-lipped, skin lookin’ like an oil puddle rainbow” governor signs a bill promising sub-par raises (and expects a ‘thank you’ for her pen swipe), yet legislation turns around and guts it like a pig. What part of the law hides provisions for helping our schools in bills that have nothing to do with our schools? There IS no “back to normal” right now. Come up off that money. The world is watching, the people have had enough, and we WILL NOT back down. ° ° ° ° #StayCRTN #Oklahoma #OklahomaCity #Teachers #Educators #Students #WalkItOut #TeacherWalkout #Protest #Schools #Children #Funding #MoreMoney #BetterPay #LivableWages #LoveOurTeachers #PayOurTeachers #MaryFailin #FDB #StayWoke #OklaEd #TeacherWalkout #Disrupt (at Oklahoma State Capitol)

my mom texted me this morning to let me know she and my dad have recently been adopted by this parliament of overprotective owls

[i-want-spankings]

This would scare the absolute shit out of me. Owls freak me out.

Welcome to the cOWLncil meeting. Please, take your seats.

Sleeping near a waterfall must be pretty peaceful.

[micdotcom]

Do this four times repeatedly and you’ll be out. But how does it work? There’s some real brain science behind it.

[discoverynews]

We’re trying this tonight!

[askragtatter]

It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.

I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.

[rewritethis-story]

It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.

[queensimia-deactivated20181215]

Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.

My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed - I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.

[orikomi-deactivated20181216]

me gonna try it

[aconitvms-deactivated20171225]

[dragonflydjinn]

For health! Because being calm and easing into sleep is important.

@ Latino parents.

I’m tired of going to a family party and having to kiss 678 family members on the cheek. I don’t even like 670 of them to begin with ….

[dragonflydjinn]

@ Black parents

I remember this as a child. I now have a daughter who, I’m convinced, can read people’s energy. She vehemently avoids certain people in my family and will cry if she’s uncomfortable. Never again will I not listen to her because she’s a 2-year old. She knows, and I’m going to trust that. She IS NOT required to give you “requiring affection family members” ANYTHING. I’ll disown the whole lot of y’all.

I think we all need this info

[dragonflydjinn]

Some of the most useful advice I’ve ever seen drawn.

Reblog this if you're a nostalgic Pokémon trainer in need of a little refresher.

DAMMIT IF NO ONE ELSE SUPPORT ME, I'MA SUPPORT MYSELF (But if you love me, go pick up "Horizons" on iTunes!!!)

[dragonflydjinn]

Going back and adding all this info to my Better Than Yesterday album is kinda emotional. Real talk, I'm glad Genius allows me the resources to do this. For everybody that supported me back in 2013, I thank you.
