What do you need:

One chai tea bag (or common tea if you don’t have chai, don’t worry.💕)

Cinnamon.  

A Quartz crystal of your choice (I recommend Amethyst, but if you have rose quartz or a simple quartz is fine too! 💕).

Steps:

Infuse the tea bag with the cinnamon.

Cover the tea with a plate and place the quartz crystal on top.

Hold the cup of tea between your hands and say:

“I’m asking for focus, Please, bring me serenity. Mother Light, cover me with your blessings. So it shall be, thank you.”

Let the tea sit for a couple of minutes. 

Then drink, it will help you to focus in anything you want to do. ✨

This is the first time I share a receipt, I hope it can help. 😊✨

this is my faviorite king of the hill joke and it’s only 5 seconds long and king of the hill isn’t on netflix anymore and it’s not free on amazon prime anymore either, so i had to rely on a dubbed anime website to find it 

[peachvers]

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow

HOLY SHIT

[weaselle]

first of all ^^^ I love this^^^

secondly, I’ve said it before, but 

this is exactly what the Old World was. Off shore there was Ocean, and inland there was Forrest

Here’s an Old World tree still surviving in a modern forrest of “large” trees

That’s just what trees used to be like.

And wandering among those trees, one might have encountered, yes, deer larger than a modern moose, but also, depending on what year, pigs bigger than grizzly bears, beavers the size of modern wolves, ground sloths the size of modern elephants, and bears nearly that big. Not to mention the insects and snakes and shit.

I could keep going, like, you might have crossed paths with a whole herd of these

or a family of these.

Like, 29,000 years ago, the last of the Neanderthal had just died out. Humans and this thing definitely lived at the same time.

And they didn’t live in the Forest, but there is one ice age creature that’s still alive, if you want to see what life was like back in the day. We used to think the Musk Ox was a type of bovine, or cow, which is how it got it’s name. BUT. See this?

that, my friends, is an ice age GOAT. That’s right, that’s a 900 pound GOAT. Here, take another look

anyway, yeah, the wild used to be a lot more Wild. Old Forest was definitely the inland equivalent of Ocean, and everything back in the day was turnt the fuck UP

[lowin]

Reporter: *intercepts Bruce coming out of a fancy restaurant* So, Brucie, what does family mean to you?

Bruce: *before the guy finishes the question* Dick is my pride. He's the man I wish I could have been. We went through similar traumatizing experiences at a similar age, but unlike me, he was able to find healthy coping mechanisms, overcome his pain and use it to help people. He's even a better father to my own other kids.

Reporter: ...

Bruce: Jason is my joy. He made me laugh in my darkest, hardest moments, make me feel like there were other options to help people other than violence. He made me a father in ways didn't need me to. Losing him was like losing my parents all over again, like the world had, once again, lost all the happiness and joy for me. Now I have him back, and even if he never wish to see me ever again, just knowing he's around make me feel less bitter.

Bruce: Tim's my hope. He's the tiny light of hope that shone when I thought there was nothing but darkness in my life. He didn't fill the empty space in my heart, but made a space of his own. He helped me stand up and keep walking.

Bruce: Damian is my maturity. He's the one I didn't exactly sign up for, but came to me anyway, and despite not being able to show it more often, I couldn't be more grateful for having him. He makes me want to be a better father for him, makes me want to fight to make this world a better one for him to grow up. He force my hand sometimes, but he also looks up to me, and that makes me also want to be a better man.

Bruce: Cass is my guide. Our ways crossed when we needed each other the most. She doesn't worship the image the world has of me, nor she rub my mistakes in my face. She knows my flaws, but also understands the reasons behind my actions, and even if she doesn't agree, she's always there for me.

Bruce: Duke is my chance at a new beginning. With him, I can try to be a better better mentor, a better father. He's so practical, not problematic at all, listens to me. But he also has a mind of his own, and I know he wouldn't do anything I tell him to do, if he didn't agree with it, if he didn't think it's the right thing to do.

Bruce: Stephanie is my lost chance. I don't have a right to call her one of my children, because like with Jason, I wasn't the best for her. I was too harsh, too unfair, but unlike with Jason, it was that way for her since the beginning. I just gave her a chance so I could make Tim come back, and then fired her like she was disposable.

Bruce: And Alfred is our god.

Reporter: I-I just wanted your opinion on the new Children Hospit- you know what? Forget it.

Reporter:... Wait, what do you mean, Jason's back?

Jason, Damian and Steph, standing at the restaurant's rooftop, holding each an empty vial of truth serum: It's what he deserves.

Confession time: I don’t love science for science

Don’t get me wrong. I love exploration and learning as much as the next person and science experiments are fun, but that’s not why I love science. I love science because of the people.

No, I don’t mean scientists (although many are involved in the group I’m about to mention) but I mean the people. I love the every day nerds whose eyes light up as they talk about space exploration. I learn as much astronomy trivia as I can do that I can make sure that excited light stays in their eyes. I love how scientists at NASA used billions of dollars to make a robot, sent it to space, and cried when it died. I love how they figured out how to make the Opportunity rover sing to itself on its birthday because they pack bonded with the rover and refused to let it feel alone on such an important day. I love how there are people out there who care enough to learn how to identify every other rock they see even though the knowledge is useless. They’re the same kind of people who will get to know people just because of that same curiosity (not to take advantage of them). I love the biologists who have dedicated their lives to protecting the defenseless. I love the psychologists who try to find loopholes in humans themselves because they think it’s interesting. I don’t love science—I love the people who love science. They’re the people that love without expecting love back.

[babydollbucky]

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.

Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.

This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?

Reasons I believe my friend is secretly some kind of deity

1) First time we spoke was a week after the beggining of freshman year she summed up my entire character and most of the events of my life Sherlock style. I asked her how the hell she knew all that. She just shrugged and said she figured out our entire class already.

2) The one time we had religion class instead of ethics she listened to the teacher for a few minutes, laughed and told me:

“Humans have wished to be gods so much they’ve forgotten they have to ability to create them. Imagination has truly suffered from this ‘monotheism’ stuff.”

I was confused and asked her if she was an atheist. She rolled her eyes and said:

“Oh I believe in god alright. I just don’t think the bastard deserves to be worshipped.”

3) Out of nowhere she gave me this advice:

“The only truth a liar ever told was that lies weren’t going to save you. Don’t become the liar who has to pass that wisdom on, because they speak from experience.”

4) To this day, she has one of those old-timey phones with buttons she only uses to ocassionally call someone. When I asked her why she never got a smartphone she got pouty:

“I hate social media. On Facebook they talk a lot but never say anything. If I wanted to listen to people moan about their problems and ask for help they don’t expect I’d listen to their prayers.” (Notice the choice of words)

5) I noticed she was stiff and I offered her a massage since I’m really good at it but when i started kneading her back I swear to this day those were not muscles I felt. I asked her what she did to turn her muscles into rocks covered with a thin layer of skin and she kinda froze then shrugged and said she was just really, really stiff. My hands hurt after ten minutes when I can usually go for an hour. Next time I offered she seemed surprised and laughed. She still has rocks for muscles.

6) We were having a debate over the way neural pathways are formed (I study biology and she forensics) and I jokingly asked if I could have her brain for study when she dies. She laughed.

“Sure, if you find a way to kill me you can have it. I’m actually curious what you’re gonna find.”

7) One time she was tired and miserable and I tried to comfort her. We both have really dark sense of humor so I told her she could scare the dead out of their graves with that glare. She told me the dead can’t come back and I rolled my eyes and said ‘obviously’ but she continued:

“When you die you descend to the underworld with nothing to lose. To keep you, they give you something to lose. When you want to return, they will demand it back. That’s why nobody ever leaves. The only way out is to never enter.”

8) One day she just came up to me with a disappointed look on her face. When I asked her what was wrong she was quiet for a few seconds and then just told me:

“Betrayals committed in good intentions are still damning. Just… keep that in mind.” Then she left and didn’t speak to me for three days. I still don’t know what she meant but even three years later I haven’t forgotten it.

9) We were casually sitting on a bench when, out of nowhere, she asked me: “Is it just me or have humans gotten dumber? Or have they always been this stupid and I just haven’t been paying attention?”

10) She asked me if I ever wondered what it was like to die. I said no but told her I would tell her when I found out. I meant it as a ghost joke but she smiled at me and said:

“Great. I’ll wait for you to come back. Maybe you’ll even remember me.”

In conclusion, she is some kind of low-key god and she lost her faith in humanity even before we lost our faith in her but she’s stuck with us because immortality is a bitch.

P.S. I just remembered her name is a variation on ‘Eve’. Maybe I should reconsider my atheist status?!

UPDATE (Jan 9, 2019): Since people liked this so much I’m making it a thing. All I have about Eve can be found under #god goes to college

Now that this has reached 100k I thought I’d reblog my favorite addition to this post.

[i-think-2-much]

Thank you so much @alexaloraetheris! You wouldn’t know this, but I first read this ten minutes before my first ever solo performance. I was super anxious and felt like I was going to fail but this snapped me out of my spiral and, while I did crash and burn, it calmed me enough to ace the first half.

Nightwing Musings

Something that always comes up, in canon and fanon, is that Nightwing is unnecessarily showy with his fighting style.

But here’s the thing. He is canonically small, especially compared to people like Jason and Bruce. Usually around 5’10’’ and a cool 175 at peak condition. That’s not a lot of inertia, especially when you’re going up against heavy hitters like Bane, Croc, etc.

He needs the centripetal force his ‘showy’ moves generate. In fact, if I remever correctly from grad school physics, at a constant velocity, an arc path can generate 4 times the force of a straight one. So if he lands a straight punch to a baddie, it might sting. But if he lands a hit in the process of a flip or rotation, he’s going to hit nearly 4 times harder. That’s nothing to sneeze at.

It’s also why escrima sticks make absolute sense for his fighting style. The larger the arc, the more force is generated, so if he lands a blow with the end of his escrima mid flip, the relative force would be absolutely devastating.

And I think this is why Dick Grayson is one of the top human combatants in the DCU. It’s not necessarily his unpredictability (which probably helps) but the fact that he can amp his own inertia with acrobatics, so he goes into a fight looking like a straight punch will be easy to take, and he just multiplies that force as easy as breathing.

Physics, man. It’s a hell of a thing.

[maurianasravenholdt]

Ok y’all. I actually went back, pulled out old notes and a textbook, and did the math on this.

The max punch velocity ever measured is 21m/s (for a professional fighter). On an arc path half of Grayson’s height (r=.825m), assuming he can match a professional fighters velocity, he can generate 9,612 pounds of force.

Compare that to 412 lbs of force on a straight path for an average pro MMA fighter’s punch.

For reference, then, a straight punch would be like a fully grown male lion tackling you.

The arc hit? Would be like literally having an ELEPHANT fall on you.

Now, obviously, he’d have to nerf himself a bit. Pretty sure his hand would break if he hit someone with that kind of force…

Unless of course he used a polycarb stick to do the dirty work. In which case…

Ouch.

[bigskydreaming]

Dang. So like, you obviously know I’ve always thought people put way too much emphasis on Dick being ‘showy’ with his fighting style as being a form of grandstanding….since IMO when you’ve been trained since you could walk to gear all your athletic prowess towards a certain style of movement, its more work NOT to make those moves look a certain way. 

(Which is basically just an extension of how I feel about people playing Dick’s performative tendencies as him just being overly hungry for attention to begin with. Like….just because he has certain ingrained tendencies and mannerisms due to literally being a child performer and raised in a circus, that doesn’t mean everything he does is geared towards him WANTING to be constantly in the spotlight, instead of him wanting to do or act ways that have the result of putting him in the spotlight. Its like the difference between someone who performs as a vocation vs someone who is performative as a form of overcompensating for low self esteem - sure, some people who perform vocationally are drawn to that because of low self-esteem, but its not like every person who’s ever been a singer, dancer or actor is overcompensating for something and that’s the only reason to do any of those things ever).

Anyway. But this? Is a whole other school of thought to that which I’d never even considered but makes a ton of sense. Headcanon totally adopted.

Y’know, I could easily see Bruce trying to train some of Dick’s natural showmanship out of his fighting style when he was younger, purely on the basis of he thought it might somehow risk his secret identity or whatever…..and now I’m picturing Dick holing away in his room and putting his academic cap on for a week or two while Bruce thinks he’s just sulking, and then Dick eventually emerges and like, has flow charts and such which detail all of the physics of this and lay out point by point why he can, he will and he MUST continue to achieve this many rotations per spinning heel kick when going up against guys a half a foot taller than him.

And Bruce nodding solemnly, because nothing chastens him more firmly than the Power of Empirical Math: “I am…..thwarted. Continue as you were.”
