Have not used this account in a long time, but just need a place to acknowledge the pain and suffering throughout America and throughout the world today. I really had hope, and I was unfortunately wrong. The rights of so many people are at risk, and privilege will be used to suppress them further, instead of lifting them up. I am truly in shock.
That’s not quite true. The reporter behind the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered.
After mass protests, the Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.
After mass protests, the President of Pakistan was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.
Worldwide, hundreds of people – many rich and powerful – were arrested.
Billions in stolen assets were returned to the people.
And 82 countries changed their laws to crack down on the wealth hoarding the papers revealed.

To say the Panama Papers accomplished nothing is an insult to Daphne Galizia’s memory. Her work, and the work of the hundreds of other journalists who contributed to the Papers, changed the world.
Disinformation like this is designed to discourage you, to make you feel you’re powerless against the monsters of the world. They want you to feel that way, because they are terrified of your power to make change.
Take your power back. Demand better. Keep fighting for a better world, because a better world is possible.

me : * gets high on classical music *
how do you get high on classical music
…… i kinda wanna hear what they are playing
Of course Dudamel is conducting.
so that’s what the mambo from west side story sounds like when it’s played by more than seven high school instrumentalists
Not gonna lie, when I saw them throw their violins in the air near the start, my soul left my body
Okay, but the joy on everyone’s face during this piece had me smiling so hard
This is how you enjoy music.
Weird ass fitness terms you should know if you’re serious about your workouts
Why do you need electrolytes? How do you do plyometrics? What the heck is lactic acid?
You may have heard certain terms a thousand times, probably even done some of the workouts and training methods without even knowing it. But do you really know why plyometrics are so good for you? What EPOC stands for, and why it puts your calorie burn into overdrive? Do you know the proper term for that hit the wall feeling on your long run?
HIIT
High Intensity Interval Training involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise as close to your maximum effort as possible, followed by a lower intensity recovery period. (40 seconds of sprinting followed by 20 seconds of jogging of walking, repeated) It can be applied to any combination of exercises included cardio and strength training. Pushing your body so hard means you can shorten your workouts and still score the increased metabolism and fat burn.
Tabata
Eight rounds of 20 seconds of very high intensity efforts followed by 10 seconds of recovery.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
The fitter you are the better your cardiovascular system and respiratory system can supply oxygen to your working muscles. And the better your muscles are at absorbing it. The efficiency of this process directly impacts your body’s ability to sustain prolonged exercise, determining your fitness level.
VO2 Max
Your maximum volume of oxygen is a measure of your heart, lungs, and bloods capacity to deliver oxygen to your working muscles, as well as the capacity of your muscles to take up and use oxygen during a workout. Your VO2 Max is a great measure of your fitness abilities, but it’s mostly determined by genetics. The types of muscle fibers you have, as well as the structure and function of your cardiorespitory system are all determined by your genes, which is why some people are naturally better at certain sports.
EPOC
Reaching EPOC during your workout is the key to burning fat and torching calories even after you’ve left the gym. If you work out hard enough your body has a hard time replenishing the energy stores used during the exercise. This causes your metabolism to stay in overdrive even after your back in your daily routine, a state known as Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), or “the afterburn.”
Target heart rate
The name pretty much spells it out but this target heart rate is the ideal range for your heart rate to fall into during exercise. This number changes depending on your goal of working out.
Fat burning zone
This is the lower end of your target heart rate- around 60 percent of your max. While the fat burning zone sounds like where you’d want to be, this actually isn’t ideal for weight loss. Calorie burning happens at a higher intensity. The fat burning zone is ideal for performance however.
Toning
Every woman wants to get long and lean but anatomically, it’s actually impossible to change your body shape. Your muscles can’t be lengthened. Lifting weight and burning fat however can lead to more sculpted curves and reveal the natural shape of your bones and muscles. Toning, in essence, is about shedding fat and sculpting.
Functional training
Functional training is meant to help strengthen your muscles to support and improve movements you do every day. All the moves mimic the foundational motions of everyday life-squatting, pushing, pulling, reaching, and lifting. These workouts burn a lot of calories since so many muscles are engaged in a single move.
Cross training
It’s all about balancing your main sport with another. Runners should take up yoga; swimmers should hit up the weights. While this does help train your supporting muscles, the real purpose behind varying your workout is to avoid injury. Cross training gives the body a break from the same repetitive stresses of a single sport which can otherwise lead to injury.
High / Low impact
High impact exercises are running, hopping, jumping rope, and plyometrics. Low impact exercises include walking, biking, and swimming. Moves that require both feet to leave the ground are high impact and moves that keep one foot on the ground at all times are low impact.
Plyometrics
This category includes moves like box jumps, hops, skipping, throwing-all exercises intended to have your muscles rapidly stretch (jumping up) then rapidly contract (landing) over and over. The goal is greater explosive power and better neuromuscular coordination.
Electrolytes
You need proper balance of electrolytes for your muscles to contract and relax properly, but this mineral leaves your body along with sweat. That means that after a hard workout you need to replenish your electrolyte stores so your body can recover properly.
Lactate threshold
Lactate, also called lactic acid is a substance that builds up in the muscles during strenuous exercise. Technically a byproduct of incomplete breakdown of carbohydrate, lactic acid is metabolized fairly easily during low intensity workouts. As workouts get harder your body starts to produce more lactic acid in the active muscles, eventually reaching a speed where it’s producing too quickly for your body to metabolize. It begins to build up, causing the muscles to fatigue which is when that “hit the wall” feeling every endurance athlete experiences kicks in.

Vox actually did a pretty nice article about it, and in case you were wondering what charities it is supposed to be benefiting
https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/10/30/18043054/ben-jerrys-political-pecan-resist
Ben and Jerry’s isn’t making an empty advertising gesture. They company has supported Bernie Sanders, and made an ice cream flavor to raise awareness of global warming. They run progressive news stories on their websites and social media. They pay their workers a living wage. Even their brownies are sourced from a company that specializes in hiring people out of jail to help them get their lives back on track. They’re open supporters of socialism. I understand the idea of “no ethical consumption” but Ben and Jerry’s isn’t just adopting a political message for nothing.
Blind cynicism will make friends look like enemies.
They are a pretty fresh company in Poland (their ice cream showed up in stores less than two years ago), but they already are very strong financial supporters of our LGBT organizations, especially in Warsaw. They were one of the sponsors of the Warsaw Pride, they also gave 6000 zł (~1600$) to two important LGBT organizations so they could renovate their shared, first real office (the organizations are Miłość nie Wyklucza, who are fighting mainly for marriage equality, and Parada Równości, organizers of Warsaw Pride), and right before the Pride this year they sponsored us a fireproof rainbow in the former spot of an art installation - a rainbow made of flowers - that was burned down seven times. Click for a short english video on the story of this rainbow!
And let me tell you, this is not good PR for them here. It would be better for them and their sales here if they didn’t openly show us any support. Their local fanpage is filled with people raging about their “leftist ideology”. But they still do, which shows they are true to the values they talk about.
Take a look through the comments and you’ll see a lot of things like this, whether it’s refusing to sell two scoops of the same flavor ice cream in Australia until citizens voted in favor of gay marriage, one of the founders showing up personally to a trans rally to hand out ice cream and hugs, or both owners getting arrested at protest rallys.
Then just normal shit like “paying their workers a living wage” and “ethically sourcing ingredients” that seem like should be bare minimums for companies but somehow isn’t.
They’re also just flat out giving money to these charities regardless of sales, the artist is one of the co-founders of CultureStrike & Presente.org (also a queer WOC), and regardless of whether you buy the ice cream the very fact that we’re talking about it and the names of the charities are visible means that the marketing campaign was successful.
I think one of the most interesting comments I’ve seen on this thread was something like: if there truly is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism then we also have to accept there is no such thing as ethical production. And at that point I think it makes more sense to look at both through a filter of context and intent.
They were big supporters of Amendment 4 here in Florida, the largest expansion of voting rights in the country since the Civil Rights Movement. Florida permanently banned folks with felony convictions from ever voting again, leaving roughly 1 in 10 Floridians over the age of 18 without access to the ballot box. Ben & Jerry’s didn’t just support financially—they led a statewide ice cream truck tour to help get out the vote during the final weeks of the election, educating voters on the impact of Amendment 4 passing and giving out free scoops, swag, and info sheets. Like, even when capitalism is overthrown, there’s still a place for Ben & Jerry’s in the socialist future, I hope.

Access denied: wheelchair metro maps versus everyone else's
Source: The Guardian
We reflected on this while visiting Paris actually, the Paris metro is actually the least accessible form of transportation either of us had ever seen. The stations were awfully designed, a ton of stairs without elevators or escalators, tight alleys, immense amount of traveling required for connections. An awful experience for us, and completely, utterly inaccessible for anyone who needs a wheelchair to get around.
The hell of it, for the Paris situation, is that quite a lot of it is recent construction compared to other long established systems like London and New York. But they’d steadfastly refused to incorporate wheelchair accessibility.
To compare to NYC, nearly all of the stations built since 1970 - which isn’t all that many for historic funding reasons but still - are fully accessible. A few are in an awkward state of “will be fully accessible once next line construction phase is finished” or “only the new portion of this station complex from the 80s is accessible, we haven’t yet made an accessible connection path to the 1920s station it overlays” etc. And significant but not yet sufficient inroads have been made in converting vast amounts of the much older stations to full accessibility.
Yet Paris has built much more rail expansion in the similar post-1970 timeframe, and has apparently just refused to build their extensions to existing lines to accessible standards, only having the true accessible stations on the mid-90s started line 14 and a minimal selection of other line’s extensions. And they’ve not even deigned to touch any of the existing stations.
(Another interesting aspect is that London technically used to be much more accessible way back int he day because a lot of stations were built to be primarily accessed with elevators with backup stairs, but the elevator shafts had since been replaced with spiraling stairs or sometimes demolished for escalators - however these facilities often wouldn’t be considered quite up to modern standards for a wheelchair user)
the difference between ‘i’m 17’ and ‘i was born in 2002’ is night and day my dude bc if u tell me ‘i’m 17’ i’m fine but if u tell me you’re from 2002 then shouldn’t ya be wearing diapers rn
How someone looks when they’re “17 years old″…
How someone looks when they’re “born in 2002″…
In 2001, my parents bet me that if I did not drink, smoke, or do drugs by 21, they would give me $1500. Here I am on my 21st birthday holding the contract I signed when I was 8.
damn i can lie to my parents too but i aint make 1500 bucks for it
Totally would’ve stuck to those rules for that much money lol
