i learned that during WWI, cotton was in high demand for the manufacture of uniforms and explosives. For bandages, doctors turned to using sphagnum moss. It can hold up to 22 times its own weight in liquid – twice as absorptive as cotton. The moss is also antiseptic, making the surrounding environment acidic (x)

Lifetime’s contemporary adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel stars Tiffany Hines, Juan Antonio, Jackee Harry, Reginald VelJohnson, Keshia Knight…

Okay, this is exciting.

Pretty convenient that a lot of American students never learn that Einstein was a Jew who came to America and started the nuclear research after fleeing from the Nazis and having most of his research lost in the book burnings.

Or how much of his life and work was shaped by his autism, like how it was his biggest asset because it allowed him to think differently, but also his biggest hurtle because of all the abuse he received in school from teachers who labeled him as a dunce and told him he was stupid because of his disability. Which he proved wrong by discovering the theory of relativity because of his autism instead of in spite of it.

EVEN THOUGH THOSE ARE THE TWO MOST RELEVANT DETAILS OF HIS LIFE THAT EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY HE DID ALMOST EVERYTHING HE DID. But nah, Im sure diversity wasn’t relevant enough to be important in this situation.

Its almost like we have a biased school system that censors the accomplishments of marginalized groups to stop them from realizing that people like them have accomplished things.

He taught at Lincoln University after he was told black students couldn’t attend his lectures at other colleges and universities.

Article quote: “In 1946, Einstein, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist traveled to Lincoln University where he gave a speech in which he called racism “a disease of white people,” and added, “I do not intend to be quiet about it.” Lincoln was the first school in the United States to grant college degrees to blacks.”

A fire broke out at the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque compound's Marwani Prayer Room in Jerusalem just as flames ravaged the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, built 1035 C.E (the first recorded holy building on the site built in 705 C.E) has also been a victim of fire today as the Notre Dame in Paris burns.

It’s important to note that the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam, so I beg you to keep Muslims, especially Palestinian Muslims in Jerusalem, in your prayers (and if you’re not religious, keep Muslims in your thoughts).

I'd very much like to punch a feminist.

I’d never, ever hurt a lady but I’d be happy to punch a feminist. It’d bring me great joy.

“I was going to Arizona State when my dad passed away. I didn’t handle it well. Sort of fell apart. I had just paid $9,000 for the fucking semester. I opened my laptop, dropped the semester, opened up a new tab, bought a one-way ticket to New York, and threw myself a going-away party. Once I got here, I started working in retail. But on the side I was writing about Fashion Week for a blog called Style Cartel, shout out to Charlotte, Muslim like me. And every time I went to these events, I’d introduce myself as a stylist. I kept saying: ‘I style athletes and celebrities.’ I didn’t give a fuck. Then suddenly I started getting clients for real: actors, NFL players, you name it. Now I’m up to 42 clients. Down to two days a week in retail. Pure hustle. No Miami mommy money. Well I’m not going to lie. I did have a sugar daddy first year, billionaire, you’ve heard of him. But never fucked him. Anyway, the one thing I’ve always wanted to do is go back to school. Cause I promised my dad. Then one night I was watching Billions and there’s this psychologist who always keeps the men in check. So I peeped the psychology degree at Hunter College, walked into the admissions office, and told the lady: ‘My transcripts are trash. My dad died of cancer. But I’m intelligent. I need a second chance.’ The deadline had already passed, but she ended up doing me a solid. She performed some sort of alchemy on my transcripts and came out with a 2.6 GPA. That was enough to get me in the door. I just finished up my second semester. Now I’ve got a 3.5 GPA. Plus the teachers love me cause I’m entertaining in class.”

I honestly hate how art and media have kind of romanticized the idea of like “going off your meds and being your true self again” because like I started taking antidepressants and like immediately got a new job, found a place to live, improved my relationships with people in my life and completely reconciled with my sort of estranged ex-girlfriend?? Medication can be rad and while I realize that it’s not for everybody I don’t think anything should be trying to convince anyone that being on medication inherently makes you less of who you are

(Most) Medication is for helping you to be you again. The real me isn’t tired by just walking to the train station. The real me is not my anxiety or depression. They don’t define me.

The real me is who I am when I’m not anxious and feeling worthless 24/7.

Medication is supposed to be the chemical equivalent of glasses or a wheelchair, depending on the severity of impairment. It tries to help you compensate for what has been taken, been broken, or is missing.

In particular, i always hear the myth that anti-depressants give you “artificial happiness”… no, no, no. They give your brain the ability to be happy. You won’t always be happy, and sometimes you’ll be sad. But the happiness you’re able to feel when you’re on meds is your own, real, happiness.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE NEUROTYPICALS IN THE BACK!!!

enalarmes

I mean this is important for neurotypicals but it’s honestly more important for people who struggle with mental illness and hate being on meds for a variety of reasons (aka me).
