I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

acabosetotal

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.

This is Accessibility!

That's so amazing! It is unfortunate that so many people will need this, but very very cool that it exists

Myself, they never said I couldn’t pick myself, and DR. Pepper’s ingredients are know to help ADHD symptoms which I have, that and with having ADHD, I can have more caffeine without a problem…. I would be drinking so many 🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes you send something you found online to a friend because you want to brighten their day, and sometimes you send something you found online to a friend with the precise attitude and bearing of a cat very carefully lining up their paw with the back of another cat's head.

Since the holiday toy drive post is circulating again, I figured this would also be helpful! Food insecurity is such a massive problem in America, in general, and if you have the means to help feed others, I think you should take that opportunity. Here are some other tips:

1. If you’re planning on donating items from your own pantry, please check the expiration dates on the packaging. Think of your donations as gifts to bestow, not castoffs to be rid of. It’s awful to think of people feeling like they got scraps someone else just didn’t want. Everyone deserves dignity with their meals.

2. If you’d rather give money to a food bank, that’s also great since they buy food in bulk and know what items are most wanted/needed!

3. Not everyone has access to appliances like stoves or microwaves or hot plates so if you can donate items that don’t need to be heated up, that would also be greatly appreciated!

insane that we aren't taught about sleep in school. like 75% of people in my country report poor sleep and we don't spend one biology class learning about it? here's what I've learnt from a variety of sleep courses:

your body does pretty much all it's physical rest and repair processes ('stage 4') in the first 4 hours of sleep, so if you've slept for four hours, congratulations the essentials of your physical health are taken care of

the part of the sleep cycle that takes care of your brain and mental health (REM) happens later in the night, hence why waking up too early makes you brain foggy, and why it's so helpful to train yourself to wake up about the same time every morning

we are evolved to wake up several times in the night; we don't usually remember it, but worry and fixation can make us more likely to remember these

sleep under the influence of alcohol is chemically altered and not effective no matter if it helps you sleep - it's fine to have a drunken night of course but don't use alcohol as a sleep aid to 'knock yourself out', being drunk unconscious is not sleep

the best thing you can do for your sleep is follow a routine; go to bed and wake up at the same time most days, and have a 'wind down' routine, preferably including writing down whatever's on your mind to clear it before sleep

for long-term sleep improvement, it's better to wake up at your planned time regardless of sleep quality than to get a full nights' sleep

missing a night of sleep is NOT the disaster certain scaremonger-y sleep 'experts' will tell you - 'slept debt' does NOT exist and you will recover from a missed night of sleep within a few days of normal sleep

meditation is the best alternative to sleep if you're either unable to sleep or feeling the urge to nap (napping is bad for sleep!) - guided ones can help you not to fall asleep, but literally just lying there with your eyes closed and thinking about something neutral is good

acceptance is the best way to alleviate insomnia; do something else, use meditation to supplement that rest, and accept that you aren't sleeping (often, ironically, this will cause you to fall asleep)

TL;DR: DON'T LISTEN TO THE FEARMONGERS! poor sleep isn't killing you it's okay to miss some sleep! just make sure you're resting when tired and trying to stick to a routine of night time rest

noctanotherone

So, as someone who has stayed awake 5 days in a row multiple times and didn’t feel it, because I have extreme cases of insomnia as well as ADHD (which is preventing me from feeling it and somehow prevents me from hallucinating too? Could maybe be because of the brain happy juice (aka serotonin) is what my theory on it is, is causing/preventing it, anyways!) sleep debt is ‘very’ much a real thing. BUT! It only becomes a thing when you are awake for an ‘EXCESSIVE’ amount of time! For example, If I miss sleep for 1-2 days or only get partial sleep or rest for a week, I don’t get it, but when I stay up for 3-5 days in a row, no rest, no sleep, no meditation, no closing/resting my eyes, full on brain wired awake, ‘that’s’ when I get the sleep ‘debt’ situation and my body will crash for 16+ hours or more, this happens because my body needs more time to recover from all the bullshit I just put it through. It’s like when you’re injured or sick and your body needs more rest to get better. That is essentially what they mean by ‘sleep debt’ just means your body needs more time to heal. Also, when you have ADHD, medication, meditation, melatonin, and/or closing/resting your eyes ‘DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK’ sometimes, the brain is just waaaay too active and it won’t let you rest. Melatonin for example never worked for me. Most I can do is lay down, close my eyes, daydream and hope sleep takes me, and that can take an hour or more to fall asleep if sleep happens at all. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can even nap! But not always. And atm, currently, a new bullshit insomnia weirdness situation is happening to me where I will sleep for 2-4 hours and be fully awake and rested and will be up for 20-22 hours after non stop. So I have plenty of first hand experience with the bullshit known as insomnia and its issues. I LIVE THEM.

Also, Poor sleep ‘CAN’ kill you, but ‘only’ if you get ‘NO’ sleep for days to weeks on end, and normally you would be going crazy before that. The body ‘does’ have a limit…

Point is, what you’re talking about is correct for the ‘short’ term, aka 1-2, ‘maybe’ 3 days.

But once that 48-72+ hours hit…you know, when most people start to hallucinate? That is when it starts reaching the extremes, and your previous discussion points do not apply to it! That situation is a whole different ballgame!

Not just that, but everybody is different! Hell, I’m an oddball myself! Some people can handle lack of sleep better than others, some can’t at all hell, some people sleep perfectly well with 4 hours and have no ill effects or insomnia problems due to genetics. Point is, You can’t say a specific book or research is 100% accurate or wrong when THEY ARE STILL DOING STUDIES INTO THIS SHIT! and they are still doing it ‘CAUSE EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT AND HAS DIFFERENT REACTIONS!!!’ Everything is pretty much a theory when it comes to sleep studies, it’s why it’s called sleep ‘studies’, People are still studying the effects and intricacies of it cause they don’t know everything about it!

So @but-the-library-of-alexandria in the future, Please make sure to clarify between short term and long term (aka the extremes). Stop claiming absolutes on theories, And please provide more than just one source into your claim. Science is peer reviewed for a ‘reason’.

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

dreamsy990

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

dreamsy990

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

dreamsy990

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

churchoftheconfusedchicken

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

Reblog this or just stop following me

ifiknewiwouldtellyou

I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.

gayvampyr

here you can read an article about a survivor of the church and some of the things he experienced to help put into perspective how awful and just how recent it was

nothingweirdhere

this is the memorial at the vancouver art gallery. 215+ pairs of children’s shoes (as well as stuffed toys and flowers) cover the steps…

The worst part is, they did this for decades, and it wasn’t just a ‘one off’ thing, this was done in ‘THOUSANDS’ of churches!!!! In Canada ‘and’ America!

They even went so far as to start doing this shit for a few decades in Irish ‘Mother and Baby’ homes too (look up Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home where they put baby and child corpses in a septic tank for one example)!!!!

It’s seriously fucked up what the churches will do to babies, children, and people.

Remember, don’t trust or support the churches, support the people, and it’s about damn time the church announces and recognizes what it did and start paying reparations to the people who suffered and their families!
