"This country was founded by a group of slave owners who told us that all men are created equal. To my mind, that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit." - George Carlin
...PolitiFact going through history to fact check this guy was like that time CNN went through history to dig up dirt on Bernie, and all they found were videos of him planting trees, and telling kids that racism is bad.
“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!
Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”
- Sacha Coward
Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero
Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”
- @robinlayfield
Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.
also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.
Reblogging to do what the failed education system never did.
Hey acti! in case u or ur followers are interested I just found this app called Buycott that allows u to scan any food items you buy to see if the production of that item or the company is involved in any unethical practices. u can select which causes u care about such as humans rights abuses, factory farming, environmental destruction, etc. and it’ll tell u whether or not the company supports it & it’ll also give u more ethical alternatives. def helpful if u don’t wanna support evil companies!
I’ve used this app a little bit myself and it’s really easy to use and has a good database, at least here in the U.K. Thanks for the recommendation anon.
On some real shit, I do not fuck with people who ride those boat things at the carnival. People who get on those do not give a fuck about life, they don’t care about you, ya mama or your kids. They literally have nothing to lose. You don’t care about life so there’s no need for me to fight you because you’re not going to give a damn about my face.
THIS JOINT!!!!
BITCHHHHHHH. I got on this shit when I was 12. Wasn’t no bar, no protection, nothing in that shit. I didn’t realize until it was too late. You couldn’t pay me to ever get on this shit ever again in my life. We were in Landover, this shit almost smooth flipped my ass to Baltimore. No. Never again.
12? I got on this bitch when I was 21 and had my head in my ex’s shoulder the ENTIRE time. Screaming like a bih too. Nope. Never again. I was praying to the gravity gods the entire time.
?????? All it does is swing back and forth???? I don’t understand the concern??????
centrifugal force keeps you in your seat.
Centrifugal force isn’t keeping me from crying tho
why is this so funny
I have a pretty funny story about this ride. My school took some of students to an amusement park to celebrate the school's test score for last year. One of my friends was really afraid of roller coasters, but she wanted to try some of them. So, her, me and one more of our friends got in line to try out this ride. We were lucky that the one we got on had a bar that went on top of our legs to help hold us in place. Little did we know that my thighs were bigger than both of theirs which caused the bar to not be as low as it should be. What followed were the screams of someone unprepared to be holding onto a bar as if their life depended on it.
What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
Reblog to literally save a life
if there is a Dollar Tree near you, they have entire food aisles
Planet Fitness also has $10 memberships. you can shower and they have free food days! pizza night 1st monday every month, bagel tuesday the 2nd tuesday every month.
Save a life reblog
i am so glad that i renblogged this however so long ago. i saw this post and shared it with others in mind, but now i am the one who really needs this. id like to think of this as good karma i guess
also a good list if anyone ever needs to run away from home for whatever reason.
I’m gonna say this as politely as I can but oh my god I wish people like this would shut up.
I’m as concerned about the planet as anyone should be but misinformation like this is misleading and dangerous, not to mention disrespectful in the current climate. it will regrettably take years for the planet to heal itself of the damage done to it in the name of human greed – it will not miraculously heal in a couple of weeks.
the canals of Venice are clearer not because of less pollution but because of less boat traffic stirring up sediment and dirt already in the water. it’s all sunk to the bottom and settled, resulting in apparently clearer water. the fish were always there. the dolphins are coming closer because lack of boat traffic means they can go hunt the fish easier.
any wild animals coming into the city are likely curious or looking for interesting food. they’re not ‘reclaiming’ anything; anyone who’s been up late at night and looked out their window would see similar things with nocturnal creatures. it’s just the daylight ones are now doing it, too.
while pollution has gone down in China thanks to lack of traffic and factory production, regrettably this will do nothing in regards to the multitude of other countries belching out pollution into the air. even if it did, the earth will sadly not heal from decades of abuse in a couple of weeks.
people are dying. this guilt-inducing insinuation that humans somehow deserve it, or this virus is a good thing, is uncharitable and cruel. especially when you consider that a vast majority of the people causing and enabling the abuse of the planet are the rich ruling class, and the everyday person – the kind of person most at risk of expsoure to this virus – has no say in it. we all already suffer from enough guilt in our daily lives thanks to oil executives pushing the idea that our drinking from plastic straws and watching Netflix is the problem; we don’t need pseudo-deep tweets telling us that we’re the real virus, too – especially not when the things tweets like this are implying are all wrong anyway.
my econ teacher has been trying to teach about scarcity by having a limited amount of graph paper available for students who don’t have any (she has the last few pages in a pad and when it’s gone, it’s gone) but it’s very undercut by the fact that i have a whole pad and i’ll let people have a piece whenever they need it
she’s teaching scarcity, you’re teaching the value of sharing a resource when you have enough to spare
YES EXACTLY!!!!!
In particular, she’s teaching artificial scarcity by being a person in an authoritative position withholding resources that are actually abundant from people who need them.
You are breaking the illusion of power and scarcity by showing the supposedly scarce resource is actually in abundance and if distributed properly everyone would have what they needed to pass the class.
She's also the person that creates the need for the paper for assignments in the first place
Local Teacher Accidentally Teaches Students How To Resist Capitalism
We’re indoctrinated from childhood with the idea that staying home sick is somehow suspect or lazy, and that morally superior people never have their productivity schedule compromised lol, when the reality is that going out in public when you’re sick is a terrible thing to do to immune-compromised and chronically ill people (and “healthy” people) and staying home is a good thing and a right we should all have, not only for our own sakes but for others’
We live in a time period were the thing that sells the best, is hate. It is easy to get anyone to jump on a bandwagon against any group if a select set of that group did horrible things. Not everyone within a group shares the same opinions and beliefs, nor do they all carry out similar actions. One should not judge a collective set of people based on a bad subset within. Those who are commit bad actions or say horrible things should be treated as such. This rant is due to something I came across that said "fuck blue lives". I believe that bad cops who commit horrendous acts should be punished accordingly, but that they don't represent all cops. There are men and woman who put their lives on the line to help make their communities better, yet they are cast aside under the media shadow that is bad cops. All I am saying is judge people cast by case, and don't make a lump sum judgement because it often doesn't apply to everyone within the group.
So I have seen a couple of things going around talking about shaming ICE working into resigning. I just want to say to those who think this is a great idea and that it is justice for those who are deported or stopped at the border or for godsake the immigration policy in America, that you are completely wrong. You have no right to harass another person into giving up their job just because you don't like what the job is affiliated with nor do you have an idea of what another person living circumstances are. The working parents that work for ICE use their income to support their children. Therefore, you are saying that because of your views and opinions that ICE is wrong, that those who work for them are in the wrong too and that you value the lives of some children over others because of their parents' employer. Now, I'm not saying ICE is great or horrible. I am just saying don't wish misfortune unto others who you don't know anything about, because you wouldn't want some to say that you should quit working over a problem that you personally have no control over.
Bear with this little spiel that seems to go off topic in five seconds and jump from one idea to another related idea but I feel it will help people better view the topic.
People kill people. It is just the method one goes about it that makes guns so hated. A gun can be used to end hundreds of lives in minutes but so can bombs, fires, gas attacks, and more. Different animals species developed ways to hunt and defend themselves, and this is true for humans. Our opposable thumbs and hand physiology allows us to manipulate our environment to our liking. Which includes the creation of tools. But, what is a tool? A tool is object that is/can be used for the express purpose of making a task easier or possible. The first tool mankind used was most likely either a rock or branch that was carved/chipped, and we have come a long way since then. Think of an object that you use often in your life. Now think of a logical way to deny it not being a tool. Humans crafted tools for the sake of making life easier or because they wanted to see what an idea would do once conceptualized. That however doesn't mean all tools were crafted with pure intentions or to be later used for impure intentions. The problem does not lie within the tool but within the person because a tool can not complete a function on it's own without human involvement. The human is the one who uses a tool. And, they decide whether or not to carry out the negative action. It is the person who pulls the trigger and it is the person to blame for the lives they reap with their chosen tool. A tool designed to kill is called a weapon and for good reason. Weapons are a subset within the tool category with the origin of only being created to bring harm to another organism. But, we owe it to weapons especially for our species survival in harder more challenging times. Nowadays they are not necessarily needed to help defend from nonhuman threats. The most negatively viewed and easily accessible weapon in today's world is the gun, which is defined as weapon consisting of a metal tube that expels a bullet, shell, missile, or other projectile. People hate them because they are prevalent and can be extremely deadly in the hands of person with no restraint. But, they are not the only option for harming someone. There are rocks, hammers, cars, gasoline, chemicals, hands, long pieces of wood, and so many more things that could be used to bring harm to an organism. Yet not all objects are treated equally as being possibly dangerous because they are not viewed in the same light. The greatest and worst trait of humanity is: if a person has the drive to set a task and work towards completing it, they can do it; even more so if they let nothing hold them back. The sad truth at the end of the day is that if a person wants to end a life and they can/want do it, they'll do it and with any tool they can use as a weapon to achieve their goal.
