And these types of news don’t get mentioned?

When we help or be kind to others 99% of the media don’t even give a fluff but then the minute someone does an extremist act in the name of Islam but completely goes against our teachings -  it’s everywhere and we all get the blame.

Reblog if you have met someone online that you would love to hangout with but they live too far away.

“Hey man, take my picture!”

“I can’t do it. It’s too dark.”

“Yeah, we need some light. Let’s go over there.”

“Are you homeless?”

“Yes, I am.”

“How long have you been homeless?”

“15 years. I’ve been in Boston 8 months. Before that I was in Washington, Virginia, New York, Philadelphia, Louisiana, Florida…”

“Why didn’t you stay in Florida? It’s so much warmer.”

“I wanted to see my family. But they don’t want to see me. They don’t understand depression. They treat me like dirt. Homeless people treat me better than my family.”

“And what happened 15 years ago? How did you end up on the streets?”

“I tried to burn myself twice. I had 30 surgeries. I was dead two times, but God brought me back. I don’t know why.”

“And why did you do it?”

“I was depressed. Why you crying?”

“Because you are a beautiful person, and my family is really messed up, and I’ve been very depressed. I think I can understand you.”

“Yes, I am a good person. And when you take people’s pictures, don’t disrespect them.”

“No, man, I won’t. I like people. That’s why I take their pictures.”

“And when you make your portfolio, don’t denigrate people. Let the pictures speak for themselves.”

“I will. Are you safe on the streets?”

“Yes, I am…And now I have $8 to buy me some food.”

“That’s all I have. Next time I see you, I will give you more.”

“No, man. It ain’t all about money. Give me a hug. And next time you see me, give me a hug again. And thanks for taking my picture.”

One of my favorite posts.

Reblogging for all the Black folks dealing with depression and mental illness. We have so little understanding and tolerance for it as a community. It can be very hard living as a depressed person in a community that doesn’t believe it exists.

Naming your robot is a fun and important part of build season. Today we decided on the name Ada after the first programmer who was also female! Michelle after Michelle Obama came in a close second. We choose a strong female figure in STEM because our team is all girls and we identify with powerful female figures, like our mascot Rosie the Riveter. To choose our robot name we involve everyone on the team. Suggestions are typed on the board while everyone is present. The robot naming comes in three stages. Each stage is more treacherous than the last. Names are eliminated each round. The weakest go first, the weaker are the next to go. In the third stage there are two names left. Only one can reign supreme. Have fun and remember it’s just robot naming!

The purpose of science is not to cure us of our sense of mystery and wonder, but to constantly reinvent and reinvigorate it.

I was alone in the art room and had the thought “I wonder how many stools I can get over my head” Long story short i got stuck and the class walked in to me pathetically trying to wriggle out without being knocked over
