Ms. Reads A Lot

Carinna - 25 - New York Yeah - I read a LOT! Here's the place to see what I've recently read and my general thoughts!

When I grow up I want to be Ming-Na Wen.

[housetohalf]

She’s the voice of Mulan, as if she wasn’t amazing enough.

[palindrome-mystery]

She broke it with her fingers. Not a fist, her fingers.

[spiffypop]

Girl is 50 years old.

FIFTY. YEARS. OLD.

[firebreathingeli]

fun fact: When you break things with your hands like that you have t break your fingers on purpose before so that they heal stronger. So basically this woman is so badass she broke her hands just to do this. 

[fuckingconversations]

You asshat, you’re making it sound like she snaps her fingers in half. 

Martial artists like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee (and yes, fucking Ming-Na Wen, that beautiful badass) will build up their bone strength by repeatedly (and fairly gently) striking sand, gravel, wood and steel - this creates tons of microfractures in their bones (smaller than even a hairline fracture) so the bones will heal over again and make the bones stronger and denser with increased deposits of calcium. 

This has to be done over long-ass periods of time, so the bones have time to heal, and none of the fractures expand into actual breaks. 

Oh, and she’s doing precise-ass kicks in HIGH HEELS.

You Don’t Have To Apologize For Being White

A letter of support for the kid that wrote that Time article

“ You want to tell me about the systematic extermination of six million? I see that and raise you to ten million. You want to talk about a few years of forced labor? Let’s try for a few hundred. You seem to be able to trace your family’s history back pretty far. That’s awesome. I can’t, because they didn’t really keep records for property like that back then.” checkmate.

The Drinkable Book

Concept design for Water is Life

Chemist: Dr Theresa Dankovich Biochemical Engineer: Corinne Clinch

Chief Creative Officer: Matt Eastwood Executive Creative Director: Menno Kluin Group Creative Director: Andrew McKechnie Head of Design: Juan Carlos Pagan Associate Creative Director: Sam Shepherd Associate Creative Director: Frank Cartagena Senior Designer: Brian Gartside Designer: Aaron Stephenson

The Drinkable Book is a life saving tool that filters water and teaches proper sanitation & hygiene to those in the developing world.  Each book is printed on technologically advanced filter paper, capable of killing deadly waterborne diseases. And each page is coated with silver nanoparticles, whose ions actively kill diseases like cholera, typhoid and E. coli.  Once water is passed through the filter, bacteria count is reduced by over 99.99%, making the filtered water comparable to tap water in the United States of America. The paper costs only pennies to produce, making it by far the cheapest option on the market. Each filter is capable of giving someone up to 30 days worth of clean water. And each book is capable of providing someone with clean water for up to 4 years.

How Long to Steep Tea

Brewing a cup of tea seems like a no-brainer proposition on the outset, but as anyone who has suffered through a bitter, oversteeped cup can tell you, to do it well requires a pinch of know-how.

I like books.. Books make me feel again.
