once you start sleeping with no pants there is no going back

[loloschucks]

How do you even sleep with pants tho?! Tbh I slept in only undies until I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband) cuz he was so paranoid about someone seeing me nakey and it took me a long time to get used to sleeping with a shirt...pants are still out of the question though.

I often wonder how many more scientists we’d have if we congratulated kids for working hard rather than praising them for being smart. We need to get rid of the myth that science is only accessible to an intellectual elite.

[sciencewithbecky]

Yes yes yes!

Malcolm Gladwell and Matthew Syed have both written books about this and it’s well known phenomenon in psychology. If you tell people they did well because they’re smart they actually under-perform in future, whereas if you tell them they do well because they worked hard they just get better and better. The myth of talent is really harmful and frustratingly persistent.

Just a side note but this phenomenon is a huge factor in why we don’t have more female scientists and engineers. Adults are far more likely to tell a girl that she is smart and tell a boy how great it was that he worked hard.

I love every single person who reblogged this

[achromatiq]

I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.

It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.

Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.

It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.

Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.

Kittens sleep together in order to conserve body heat. Interestingly enough, most cat species only need to do cuddle for body heat in the first 4 days of their life since their bodies do not possess the capability to keep themselves heated. After the first 4 days, cuddling is seen more as a social activity used to express affection rather than for practical purposes.
