11 June 21—More practice today! I don’t really have much to comment on, honestly. I’m just enjoying myself as I plod along.

So far everywhere I’ve applied to has turned me down or ghosted me and silently filled the position. A friend was like “my job is hiring and desperately needs people!” It’s a donut shop. If having two degrees and ending up working at a donut shop for minimum wage isn’t the Millennial American experience I don’t know what is.

(also just to clarify: no shade at the type of shop or people who do this work, but 100% shade at the poverty wages. You charge $17 for a half dozen donuts, fucking pay your people better jfc)

景色 vs 景観

景色のほうが

よく使われる簡単な言葉です。

自然のながめを言うことが多いです。

ニュアンスは精神的です。

鑑賞の対象となることが多いです。

「田舎の景色」　「ビルで景色が見えない」

「すばらしい景色」　「景色のいい所」

景観のほうが

とくに美しいながめに使われます。

自然と人工(nature and art)に使われます。

ニュアンスは人工的です。

地理学や建築で使います。自然景観と文化景観の2つに分かれました。

「都市の景観美を損ねる」　「アルプスの雄大な景観」

「都市景観」　「景観に配慮した都市計画」

※景色にとてもよく似た言葉に「風景」もありますが自然にも人工にも使うという違いがあります。

True: 「練習風景」　「家庭のほほえましい風景」

False: 「練習景色」　「家庭のほほえましい景色」

Also: don’t stigmatize HIV+ individuals because they all have different circumstances and might’ve gotten the virus from a variety of sources (sex, occupational, birth, blood transfusions in other countries).

HIV-related stigma remains a huge barrier to preventing HIV, and is linked to a low level of people testing for HIV.

The bad news is that Trump is cutting America’s spending on HIV year after year. He has taken steps to weaken the Affordable Care Act since coming to power.

In Capitalist America, sex education is on twitter and tumblr!

On PrEP for about three years now and my master’s degree focused on HIV, so if you have ANY questions about PrEP or HIV please DM me and I’ll be happy to chat. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, let’s chat about sex and HIV.

What does it take to teach a bee to use tools? A little time, a good teacher and an enticing incentive. Read more here: http://to.pbs.org/2mpRUAz

“Friend? Friend push ball? I push ball. I do good.”

Bees. Smart enough to push a ball, not smart enough to not be fooled by a stick masquerading as a bee.

maybe they know and they’re just being polite

Other dimensional beings are undoubtedly amazed at what human beings will accept as human beings too. “But it’s just a stick with a person on it.”

NEIL WHY. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be

teddybearnova

This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie

And that my friend is the power of propaganda, indoctrination, and media

Are these pictures of South Africa or of Africa as a whole?

fgsshinyhoard

@the-collecting-turnip From top to bottom:

1. Port Elizabeth (South Africa)

2. Unknown

3. Nairobi (Kenya)

4. Pretoria (South Africa)

5. Aburi Botanical Gardens (Ghana)

6. Cape Town (South Africa)

7. Pretoria (South Africa)

8. Harare (Zimbabwe)

9. Windhoek (Namibia)

10. Windhoek (Namibia)

To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa. So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.

Luanda, Angola

Agadir, Morocco

Lagos, Nigeria

Cairo, Egypt

Port Louis, Mauritius

Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire

Algiers, Algeria

Tripoli, Libya

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Tunis, Tunisia

So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.

these look so beautiful omg

greenyvertekins

Lets not forget the beauty that is Chefchaouen, Morocco;

Absolutely magical place. I visited there over 20 years ago and what was remarkable was how cool the blue walls were to the touch. And the Moroccan people are so friendly and hospitable.

Here’s something cute

When lockdown happened in the UK it happened very suddenly. At the law firm I work at, our office building emptied overnight when everyone was told to work from home. No time to clear our desks, no time to bring office plants home.

Fast forward three and a half months - everyone assumes that their plants are dead.

But then! An email goes round! It’s turns out that one of our security guards is a florist, and -

-the security team has moved EVERY SINGLE PLANT from all 12 FLOORS of our office building into the cafeteria. It’s been turned into a temporary greenhouse. Cacti and succulents and spider plants and terrariums and potted ferns

AND! Each plant has been INDIVIDUALLY LABELLED by hand with post-it notes with name and desk location so the plants can go home after lockdown ends

To give some indication of the scale of the endeavour:

If you zoom into the centre right photo you can see one of our security team happily waving

The plants are being taken care of tenderly. They get sun and water and are spending happy times with other plant friends

I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.

Project Monsoon Clever colorful street art that only appears when it rains

After the Superhydrophobic Street Art, which uses a superhydrophobic coating to create designs which appear only in the rain, here is the Project Monsoon, which uses the same concept, this time with hydrochromic painting, which reveals its color only when wet. This amazing and clever project was designed by a Korean team of designers, in collaboration with Pantone, to provide color to the streets of Seoul during the rainy season, while paying tribute to the Korean culture. A brilliant idea! Source: ufunk

Please help support farmworkers as they continue to work the fields, breathing in smoke and ash as wildfires rage nearby. They sacrifice so much to be able to provide for their loved ones, often working overtime while receiving no hazard pay, no fair wages, and recently no basic PPE. This is not a new issue. Wildfire season has simply heightened the existing injustices. Please help.
