"The Truth Resists Simplicity"

"The thoughts I have in my head that make me feel the most lonely, because I don’t think anyone else thinks them, are also the thoughts that have the most potential to make me feel connected. I just have to get them out somehow."-Zefrank Title Quote by John Green.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

Age cannot manage to empty either sensual pleasure of its attractiveness or the whole world of its charm. On the contrary … at twenty … I was less satisfied with life. I embraced less boldly; I breathed less deeply; and I felt myself to be less loved. Perhaps also I longed to be melancholy; I had not yet understood the superior beauty of happiness.

Keep the dream alive: why waking up later is good for us all

Dr Paul Kelley says children are losing 10 hours of sleep a week – and it’s all down to a clash between school start times and teenage body clocks

Tell your teachers that science says you should sleep in: 

“While we all thought our bed-bound teens were just being lazy or uncooperative, it turns out that their behaviour is being driven by their biology. According to neuroscientists, teenagers’ circadian rhythms typically lag a couple of hours or more behind those of adults, so current school start times mean that they are forced to wake too early and are trying to concentrate on school work when they should still be asleep.”

Ex-hedge funder buys rights to AIDS drug and raises price from $13.50 to $750 per pill

A former hedge fund manager turned pharmaceutical businessman has purchased the rights to a 62-year-old drug used for treating life-threatening parasitic infections and raised the price overnight from $13.50 per tablet to $750.

According to the New York Times, Martin Shkreli, 32, the founder and chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, purchased the rights to Daraprim for $55 million on the same day that Turing announced it had raised $90 million from Shkreli and other investors in its first round of financing.

Daraprim is used for treating toxoplasmosis — an opportunistic parasitic infection that can cause serious or even life-threatening problems in babies and for people with compromised immune systems like AIDS patients and certain cancer patients — that sold for slightly over $1 a tablet several years ago.  Prices have increased as the rights to the drug have been passed from one pharmaceutical company to the next, but nothing like the almost 5,500 percent increase since Shkreli acquired it.

This is absolutely monstrous. He’s like a parody of a capitalist from a Marxist propaganda film. Jesus H. Christ what a piece of trash.

Spread his face around. Don’t let him be anonymous. Let everyone know his name and what he looks like so that he’ll never, ever be able to go about in public again without being utterly terrified.

notice sadness is in charge in the mother’s mind 

and anger leads in the father’s mind

Perhaps her mother is prone to depression and her father has anger issues?

Perhaps they too learned how to deal with their problems.

Hi! I work at a mental health clinic and we have already started using this movie to help kids identify feelings and work on controlling them! We have action figures so that non verbal kids can still show us what feelings they are having. This movie really is revolutionary for mental health services everywhere!

I saw a post comparing the similarities of the new Steven Universe intro to the Pokemon intro so I got the idea to recreate the Pokemon intro with Steven Universe Clips. It didn’t work as well as I had wanted it to.

Rose Quartz would want you to eat something today.

Garnet would think you were strong enough

Steven would adore you and want to be friends

Pearl would want you to practice self care

Amethyst would want you to smile

Connie would look up to you

Sour Cream would want to rave with you

Buck would think you were a real champ

[stringgs]

- Sapphire would see your future is a bright one if you want it to be, and that you can do it

- Ruby would love seeing you laugh

- Lapis would want you to stay hydrated

- Peridot would know you’re smart, too smart for her to figure out

- Jasper would try to fight you and lose, and then realize you must really be from Homeworld and such a strong gem!

- Sardonyx would toss you up and down in the air just to see you happy and get you to laugh with her ridiculous one

- Opal would keep you protected and out of harms way

- Sugilite would want to smash things with you and knows your true potential

But most of all, all of them gems would believe in you. They would know that you’re strong, you have potential, and a wonderful bright future ahead of you.

The special agent in charge, he says “You know, if we go out there and start messing with those folks, they know judges, they know lawyers, they know politicians. You start locking their kids up, somebody’s going to jerk our chain.” He said they’re going to call us on it, and before you know it, they’re going to shut us down, and there goes your overtime.

What I began to see is that the drug war is totally about race. If we were locking up everybody, white and black, for doing the same drugs, they would have done the same thing they did with prohibition. They would have outlawed it. They would have said, “Let’s stop this craziness. You’re not putting my son in jail. My daughter isn’t going to jail.” If it was an equal enforcement opportunity operation, we wouldn’t be sitting here anyway.

…it needed hashtags, too.
