My Awesome List
This account has been so inactive so I've decided to put it to good use once again. I'm following Neil Pasricha's example and starting an "Awesome" list. Everyday before going to bed, I'm going to post one thing that makes me happy - no matter how small. It's a proven way to get you into a positive mindset and we all need more of that right now. So here goes...
1. This little snippet that I found while reading the publishing info page on Neil Pasricha's book "You are Awesome." And he's right - I do read shampoo bottles lol

This is the best anon ask Iāve ever received.
Some dude in 2020: You should not judge a historical figure, a man from the past, by the modern ethics! He was a product of his time. 500 years ago his actions were completely normal! Itās present-ism, we canāt judge⦠bla-bla-blaā¦
People from 500 years ago: Oh my, this guy is such a bastard, a genocidal butcher, a total piece of garbage. Letās keep records of this douche so people from the future shall hate him too.Ā
Columbusās crew were writing about what a genocidal monster he was. There were mutinies and uprisings by his crews and colonists constantly. If his contemporaries were willing to risk the ire of the queen of Spain to oppose him, we have every right to call him out on it too.
The original Number 5 was a reference to how many continents heās had sex on, so this kinda implies that Louās quarantine is being spent fucking like a beast at the Antarctic Research Station
I want to know which inhabited continent you think heās avoiding by making Antarctica his 6th
Nearly 2.5 Million American Children Are Homeless
FUCCCCCK!!
Not enough people think about/realize that a good chunk of the homeless population consists of people under 18. And some are really gonna look at them and say itās their fault theyāre homeless or they did something to deserve it.
When I invested homelessness in the town I was getting my undergrad in, I was stunned by how many were kids. Furthermore, it was simple enough to Google how many vacant buildings there were in the county:
More than enough for these children, their parents, and the rest to all have their own home.
Capitalism is fucking SHAMEFUL. I already cared, but that project fucking radicalized me on the subject of just giving away homes to homeless people.
the average age of a homeless person in the united states is 9 years old.
Because treating people fairly often means treating them differently.
This is something that I teach my students during the first week of school and they understand it. Eight year olds can understand this and all it costs is a box of band-aids.
I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.
After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say,Ā āWell, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!ā And theyāll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like Iām just now understanding it. Then I explain,Ā āThere might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.āĀ
If at any time any of my students ask why one student has a different assignment, or gets taken out of the class for a subject, or gets another teacher to come in and help them throughout the year, I remind my students of the band-aids they got at the start of the school year and they stop complaining. Thatās why eight year olds can understand equity.Ā
I remember reading somewhere once āwe should be speaking of equity instead of equalityā and that is a principle that applies here me thinks
I will reblog this every time it shows up on my dash, because, frankly, the world cannot get enough reminders.

HAD TITANIC ARRIVED:
The Titanic sank onĀ April 14, 1912. Had it not struck the iceberg, it would have arrived inĀ New York on April 17th. But what was happening in New York on April 17th, 1912? The answer may change history as you know it.
On April 17th, a Wednesday, there was a solar eclipse, one long awaited by a new religious movement called The Order of the Golden Temple. The OGT was a group of about 120 people, located mostly in Manhattan, who believed that the sun itself was a temple of gold sacred to the god Aupolus (a neopagan interpretation of Apollo), who was killed and reborn with each solar eclipse.
The OGT was banned in England where it was formed by Aleister Crowleyās aunt, Jessica Caledrice Boothe. It was banned because, during the eclipse of 1888, Boothe and her followers ran rampant through London committing murders and mutilations, scattering the innards of their victims in occult sigils, and eating their spleens. The case of Jack the Ripper was notably a few days after these events and was not counted among them, however Ripper historians often neglect to note that those murders ended literally the night before Boothe and her surviving followers emigrated to New York.
Bootheās murderous cult arrived atĀ Pier 59, where the Titanic would be scheduled to arrive 24 years later. They festered in the New York underground, all the while growing and preparing for the grand ritual to be performed on April 17th, 1912. Documents found in Bootheās home after her death suggest that the day would have been one of mass murder on an unseen scale, in which at least 2222 residents of the big city would be sacrificed to ensure the Sun Godās return. But this was not to be.
News of the Titanicās sinking hit New York on April 16th and it hit like a ton of bricks. The population was stricken with grief and that included Mrs. Boothe, who had two sisters on the ship, inbound for the dark ritual. She cancelled the ritual and disbanded the cult, having had her fill of death and destruction and loss. And so thousands of lives were lost, and thousands more were saved in that strange April, where the Titanic perished only to prevent the mutilation, death, and spleenal cannibalism that was to take place days later.
Hereās the strangest thing though- Jessica Boothe died a few days after the cancellation of the ritual on April 19th, 1912. Her cause of death is unknown but she promised one thing- The Sun God would have his revenge, specifically on the 222nd eclipse after their failure. That eclipse will take place onĀ December 14, 2020, when Boothe said, the sun would be eclipsed- And never come back.
Thankfully this is all unlikely due to the scientific facts of our sun and moon; the unanimous global dismissal of Boothe as a homicidal lunatic; and the failure of her other wild predictions to come true, including England floating away from Europe, the United States being taken over by a lecherous demon, and the decimation of the worldās population by the plague. So long as none of those unlikely events happen, we should all be safe.
At least show us the bison!
Oh the drama of it all
This Man possesses more common sense than half the tourists of the world. You see a wild animal, you give it plenty ot space. You donāt walk up close try to snap a bunch of picture, then womder why youāre dead.
I love that every time this shows up on my feed, thereās a new chapter added to it.
These are amazing ā and shockingly accurate. Did you know thereās aĀ āBechdel testā for female scientist biographies?
