Not to sound like a broken record but does it make anyone else viscerally angry how we realized in the very recent past that we can successfully eradicate devastating human-specific diseases (smallpox) yet now there's a million people telling you not to vaccinate your kids against measles. I know I know "everyone will not just" but also for real we could never have measles again if everyone would just be cool

[scienceoftheidiot]

Repeat after me : during the 90s WHO had estimated measles would be eradicated by 2020

No more measles. Eradicated. Forever.

Viscerally angry? Talk about being absolutely furious every fucking second of every fucking day.

Special edition Pringles flavour in Brazil:

The brand name was changed to a pun, "Pringols" (gol = a soccer goal).

The flavour roughly translates as "onion sausage".

Pringles made special edition flavours for various countries, this is the flavour for Brazil.

Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight

My son gave me a card that said, "You are the best mom ever" so I asked him if he collected empirical evidence to back up that claim. He admitted to doing no research at all; therefore it's purely anecdotal and cannot be trusted. I have hung this sentimental atrocity on my office wall.

I was five years old when Sesame Street first aired in 1969. I remember coming home from kindergarten and watching the show in the afternoon, and then, the next day, kids talking about what Oscar had said over snack time (he was the first character for children I saw that was allowed to be grouchy and not be “bad”).

[apatosaurus]

Sesame Street celebrated a neighborhood that was multiracial and multicultural. When I was in preschool, that was my reality, too. Though I did and still do have a lot of cultural racism to unlearn, the extent to which I was able to learn how to be friends and neighbors with a diverse peer group was supported by Sesame Street. To be clear, this is why conservatives have wanted to destroy it from the beginning.

The Mississippi State Commission for Educational Television briefly banned Sesame Street in 1970 with the flimsy excuse that Mississippians weren’t ready to see racially integrated neighborhoods. And that happened in a few other Southern states, including one where the owner of a local NBC affiliate chose to air it, for free, no ad revenue, because he thought people were ready for it — or needed to get comfortable with it. And these state ETV commissions eventually relented after getting a lot of negative publicity.

Remember this little monkey with his Orangutant plush? He just turned 1 years old today! (June 26). He got very popular a little ago for being alone and clingy to his stuffed friend. Wonder how he is doing now? Pretty good actualy! He is still in the same zoo, and made new monkey friends. He doesn't use his plush as much, which could disappoint some people, but it's also a great sign of anxiety finaly giving him some space. Lot of love for him and his friends, we wish him a very good life and an happy first year of living! Happy birthday Punch-kun! 🐵🎂✨

I find it interesting, bizarre, and extremely troubling that when teachers send girls home because what they're wearing is "distracting" everyone focuses on whether girls should be told what to wear or whether the clothing was too revealing...

...Instead of focusing on the fact that an adult in a position of power admitted to looking at a minor in a sexual manner.

[d0uble-0h-se7en]

I get called a fascist on this site for so much innocuous bullshit that sometimes its easy to forget that my views get me regularly labeled as a card carrying communist in real life

[d0uble-0h-se7en]

On tumblr im getting called a nazi for saying that the death penalty is wrong even when its against bad people and today my coworker called me stalin because I called myself an environmentalist and said clean energy is the way to go. No one contains multitudes like me

I've probably posted about this before but it still gets me that Ripley (my parrot) has a special nickname for my spouse, Tev. Like he knows and uses the names of everyone in his flock (me, Tev, Steve, and Cheese. also a couple of our friends and my mom's dog) but because Tev calls him "Ripley buddy," a couple years ago Ripley started calling him "Tev buddy" instead of just Tev. He doesn't call anybody else buddy. He knows that 'buddy' is a special suffix for him and Tev to use with each other's names because they love each other. Doesn't that just melt your fucking heart

[draconym]

They love each other
