Ben Bartlett, a physics PhD student, proposed to his boyfriend of eight years by using a hexagonal mirror array to reflect the light from the setting sun onto the ground to spell MARRY ME?
Adorable.
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK???????????
His name is Mehdat Mamdouh, heās a 22-year-old hip hop and dubstep recorder player from Cairo.Ā Heās been teaching himself this style since he was 14.Ā This article links to his social media sites.Ā Heās on Facebook and YouTube and Soundcloud.
I think I missed his name and info last reblog
Fuck yes. Thatās some talent!
Reblogging this again for his name and info.
Like, this is epic and all, BUT LOOK AT HIS SMILE AT THE END OMG I AM IN LOVE
Look how amazing!!!
Most of the things I had planned this summer didnāt end up happening, but there is something I hadnāt planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise š¤Tonight at midnight Iāll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs Iāve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant. Before this year I probably wouldāve overthought when to release this music at the āperfectā time, but the times weāre living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. Thatās the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so muchĀ ā„ļø
yeah theres no way to stop using amazon completely because they own so many things and many websites use them for hosting, but audible is something we really dont need. amazon is already trying to replace public libraries withĀ āaudible amazon librariesā and we cant let that happen. your libraries are already payed for with taxes ((though normally way underfunded because politicians normally dont care enough))Ā
use libby or overdrive for audiobooks or ebooks, support libraries and buy from their used books sale (ive scored so many awesome books, and old books! as well as some great cds and movies) , and many libraries also mail out books!! theres so many options and libraries are always changing to make themselves more accessible for everyone, so support them! theyre such an important part of your community.
also you can just ask for your library to order a book if they dont have it, or they can borrow it from neighboring libraries in your county or even other counties depending on the place! libraries are the best and when i was homeless they were one of the best resources i could have asked for with free ac, wifi, good bathrooms, and books books books ad well as so many other resources, groups, clubs, events ā¦ please support your local library!Ā
HEY! YES! This is important! You can check out books from your local library (along with audiobooks and movies and music too!!) without ever having to leave your home. Hereās some links if you donāt know what OP was talking about:Ā OverDrive,Ā Hoopla
BUT ALSO!! Right now libraries are facing a problem with a new policy fromĀ very large publisher called Macmillan thatās due to be enacted in November.Ā
As Jessamyn West explains in her article on CNN:
For the first two months after a Macmillan book is published, a library can only buy one copy, at a discount. After eight weeks, they can purchase āexpiringā e-book copies which need to be re-purchased after two years or 52 lends. As publishers struggle with the continuing shake-up of their business models, and work to find practical approaches to managing digital content in a marketplace overwhelmingly dominated by Amazon, libraries are being portrayed as a problem, not a solution. Libraries agree thereās a problem ā but we know itās not us.
52 lends is nothingĀ when it comes to popular books. In essence, this new policy would require libraries to re-purchase the same eBooks over and over just to continue to provide access to their readers.Ā
Libraries already have to go through a lot of hoops and extra expense to provide digital content, and this policy will just make it even harder, more time consuming, and more expensive, thus making it more difficult for libraries to provide eBooks at a time when demand for eBook access at libraries is growing exponentially. Both the ALA and the PLA have come out strongly against thus policy, and it sets a TERRIBLE precedence for other publishing houses and future policies. Itās a bad idea thatās expensive and ultimately punishes the people who need libraries the most.
But YOU can do something about it, right now! Help us tell Macmillan publishing that their new policy is terrible and will adversely affect the people who need digital library access the most!Ā
Check out the ALAās action page for some great graphics and an auto-tweet form that will let you voice your displeasure to Macmillan directly.Ā
Or you can just copy and paste it into Twitter from here, and add the graphic too if you want:Ā
Limiting access to new titles for libraries means limiting access for readers who are most dependent on libraries. @MacmillanUSAās new policy is unacceptable, John Sargent. Cancel the embargo. #eBooksForAll
Please help us keep library eBooks accessible for all! Not only will you help your libraries, but as OP explained, the more you use your libraries and other legal means of acquiring digital books and content, the more you take away from Amazonās unconscionable domination of the eBook and digital content market. Itās a win-win.Ā

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured Iād post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.
Here it is again with text for anyone who canāt see the picture
That thought isnāt helpful right now.
Now is not the time to think about it. I can think about it later.
This is irrational. Iām going to let it go.
I wonāt argue with an irrational thought.
This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think clearly about what I need.
This feels threatening and urgent, but it really isnāt.
I donāt have to be perfect to be OK.
I donāt have to figure out this question. The best thing to do is just drop it.
Itās OK to make mistakes.
I already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational.
I have to take risks in order to be free. Iām willing to take this risk.
Itās OK that I just had that thought/image, and it doesnāt mean anything. I donāt have to pay attention to it.
Iām ready to move on now.
I can handle being wrong.
I donāt have to suffer like this. I deserve to feel comfortable.
Thatās not my responsibility.
Thatās not my problem.
Iāve done the best I can.
Itās good practice to let go of this worry. I want to practice.
Hey mother nature i love you and shit but likeā¦.what the fuck my good bitch
Goodness!
Okay. Iām Canadian so I know a shit ton about staying warm if youāre new to the cold there here are some tips!(add more if you know more!)
1. Wear grippy shoes, nothing is worse than snowmelt freezing on your skin.
2.Do not wear jeans as your outter layer. wet denim is the most body heat siphoning mother fucker known to man or god
3. Have a warm drink with you. It will help. Even just some hot soup broth or boiled water will help keep you warm.
4. Wear a moisture wicking layer close to your skin so you donāt get cold from your own sweat. You will sweat. That is fine and expected.
5. If you start feeling too warm even though you were cold and like you have to take your clothes of DO NOT. Call 911. You are suffering from hypothermia.
6. Bring a blanket and a heat source that needs no electricity with you in your vehicle. You do not want to be stranded with no heat in the case that something happens.
7. If you are struggling on ice as youāre walking, stop. Get your balance and penguin shuffle to a less slippery patch of ground. Thereās usually less ice on one side of the walk and itās better to walk in the snow next to the sidewalk than it is to eat dirt when ya slip
8. STAY THE ABSOLUTE FUCK AWAY FROM FROZEN BODIES OF WATER. Ponds are deceptive as shit even with the āsolid blue tried and trueā thing. Go around.
9. Keep kids warm. They run at a higher body temperature and will feel the effects of the cold worse than you.
10. Huddling is your best friend. Even if you donāt know the person, remember youāre both cold, especially if they donāt have the right clothing for the weather.
11. Pay attention to windchill. That is how cold it feels. Dress appropriately please. I know itās tempting to dress for style, but thereās nothing stylish about losing your toes to frostbite
12. Donāt touch metal if you can avoid it. It will sap your heat and likely freeze to anything wet. Like tongues. Donāt fucking lick a pole.
13. If someone licks something metal, pour warm water over their tongue to get them free. If they yank, they will bleed. A lot.
14. Keep your ears, noes, fingers, and toes warm. Youāre extremities will get cold first and are the most likely parts of your body to get frostbite.
15. If you see someone who may not have a place to be in the cold, offer to help them find a local shelter or library. The elements, especially the cold, are some of the largest threats to those who cannot avoid them.
16. If you find yourself stuck outside for a long time, sleep during the day when it is warmest, and avoid sleeping on the ground. Stay awake as much as you can at night so you have a better chance of staying warm.
Also, look out for your local animals.Ā Ā Cats willĀ sleep on car wheels where you canāt see them - itās elevated, rubber is warmer than the ground, and itās a little hideyhole where they feel safe.Ā Check your wheel wells and under your carĀ before you go driving off, you might save a tiny life.
You can also, if youāre so inclined, make a little winter shelter for cats and small animals fairly easily and cheaply.
[Here] is a great (if lengthy) text guide to building shelters for local cats. [Here] is a video from the Ontario SPCA. [Here] is an even simpler (ad possibly cheaper) version of basically the same thing.Ā As long as you smooth out the opening (so the lil guys donāt injure themselves on it), insulate, and line it, and then put it somewhere where itās not going to get flooded or the animal snowed in, youāre grand. It might not seem like muchĀ in the face of subzero temperatures, but itās damn well better than nothing.
Everyone, look through the notes for other information too!
Definitely invest in a vest. (That pun wasnt intended. But I love it anyway)
Keeping your extremities is important for frostbite, but keeping your core warm is VITAL to keeping yourself alive in the sub zero temperatures. Wear it under a coat, or over a light jacket if you need to. They are becoming my new favorite addition to winter gear
This was such a beauty. This was so smooth and it made me feel so calm and like I was in space. I was so relaxed that I forgot about all my stress. I felt as if I had no worries, no care. The higher I became the more zen I was. I definitely canāt wait to smoke another one of these. š

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CREAM. TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK.Ā
MEMORIZE THE PACKAGING SO YOU MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BUY THIS CREAM FOR YOURSELF OR ANYONE YOU LOVE.
This post is about vaginas. My vagina in particular. I get yeast infections pretty regularly, and until recently I was able to afford to see a doctor who could prescribe meĀ fluconazole.
Fluconazole, a drug alsoĀ known by the brand nameĀ Diflucan, is a small pink pill. You take two pills a few days apart from each other to restore balance and harmony to your bountiful folds. Iāve never ever had a bad side effect from taking this pill.
Cut to November 2016. Iām a recent college grad without reliable health care coverage in the process of finding a job. And Iām dealing with a yeast infection. Before I moved out of state, my previous doctor told me about Miconazole. She said it was as effective as the pill and hallelujah, itās over the counter! I decided to purchase the cream pictured above. This treatment only lasted 3 days, a convenient time frame for my schedule.
The application process was a little messy, and some of the cream came in contact with my vulva and labia. Within 5 minutes every piece of skin that had come in contact with the cream, excluding my hands,Ā was on fire. I wanted to scream it was so painful. I began frantically searching for what I should do online.Ā
I found a whole forum of people on drugs.com who had experienced something similar.Ā These comments saved me, and these were just on the first page. There were 33 pages total, the earliest dated July 2009.
I was writhing in pain at 2AM when I found this forum (which I found by searching āmy vagina burn itch hurts after miconazoleā on Google). As soon as I read these comments I threw the devil cream directly into the trash and jumped in the shower. I didnāt feel any actual relief until I reached in and scraped the cream out of me. I paid $17 plus tax on this bullshit, but I could have just as easily ripped up my money or paid someone to not hurt me.Ā
The moral of the story is that vaginal health care is is completely fucked up because we donāt have access to an over the counter cure for yeast infections that is safe for our bodies and also YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY THIS CREAM EVER.
Reblog to save a vagina.
Okay so I used to get yeast infections every month after my periodĀ ācause my pH levels were fucked up or something (idk thatās what my doctor said) and I actually used to take this stuff and it was fine. Then a couple years down the road I had a yeast infection for the first time in ages and I used this again and it burned so bad I had to sit in the bath and like physically dig it out of my vagina
AND THEN I LEARNED THAT ITāS BECAUSE I DIDNāT HAVE A YEAST INFECTION. I had a bacterial infection, which is honestly pretty much identical to a yeast infection depending on the severity. The only difference is that IF YOU HAVE A BACTERIAL INFECTION AND TRY TO USE YEAST INFECTION MEDICATION IT WILL HURT
But itās not actually the medicationās fault. The medication DOES do what itās supposed to do, provided youāre actually suffering from a yeast infection. Chances are though that you and every one who commented on this did, in fact, have bacterial infections instead.
FORTUNATELY they also make over the counter tests so you can know if you need to call your doctor or just grab some yeast medicine off the shelf. Next time if you arenāt sure, pee on a stick and save yourself a world of fucking pain
AMEN.
Itās unfortunate that Iām 27 and never knew that last bit of information. The world of vaginal health is so obscure and inaccessible.
Reblogging because I too once found out the hard way that I had a bacterial & not yeast infection. š
I, too, once set my vagina aflame with miconazole. I didnāt know it was because of a bacterial infection. Reblogging to save a vag.

Itās almost like the shame and stigma thar surrounds vaginas is a danger to the health and well being of people who have vaginas.
Damn y'all #saveavag
Personal growth isnāt about becoming a different person, itās about fundamentally changing how you interact with who you already are.
As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they donāt respect the sea, if youāre going to the coast, hereās a thing I saw on Facebook.
Nature spirit.
