get it done.

do it weird. do it messy. do it scared. do it out of order. do it slow. do it a little bit at a time. do it.

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.

Out of all the cool stuff that mythbusters ever shot on high speed camera, shooting a soccer ball at 60mph out of a truck traveling 60mph is one of my favorites

Just look at it. It is the most perfect visual representation of Newton’s 2nd law of physics I’ve ever seen. The ball, which was shot out of a CANNON, drops straight down. Two equal and opposite velocities completely canceling each other out, leaving the soccer ball to drop to the earth with a net velocity of 0. Sir issac newton would be proud to tears of this gif.

And yet this “myth” is nothing more than basic physics at work. A 10 year old with an interest in science could have told us this is possible. 60mph in one direction minus 60mph the exact opposite direction is 0. Basic.

But what makes this so frieken cool is the fact that they went through all the trouble to actually demonstrate the invisible laws that govern the way our universe works. To get this shot both the soccer ball and the truck had to be moving at the exact same speed. Real world variables make that extremely difficult to pull off. It took them hundreds of attempts to get it right. They went through all that trouble to “prove” something we have known as fact for hundreds of years. And we get this amazing gif to watch as a result.

Mythbusters is incredible. Science is incredible. And the fact that this experiment in physics can be used in science classes for years and years to come to help children learn about physics is incredible.

i’m just tryna have a nice time despite knowing facts and information

i think we need to start saying "same hat" again. weve forgotten the yaoi

they should invent a job that doesn't affect your schedule or energy level that you don't have to go to if you don't want but you still get paid

short film set in the saw trap warehouse where a stray cat gets its foot stuck in a glue trap but manages to escape minus some fur, and all of the apprentices are trying to convince john that the cat is now an apprentice according to air bud rules

this gives the team the opportunity to deploy the thumb guillotine immediately before the cat’s trap during their next gauntlet, giving them a great tax write-off and the justification to john that a cat would actually be a great apprentice, they promise they’ll feed it and change its litter box, please dad—
