What's Up

Basically me

[darth--nickels]

LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

[darth--nickels]

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

[evilscum-deactivated20160223]

his name is Ibn Khaldun

[imaanhammaam-deactivated2016031]

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

#no offense but arabs literally invented chemistry and algebra and we came up with the concept of the camera #the cataract operation that’s still practiced today was invented by an Arab #we created alchemy and the wright brothers used abbas ibn firnas’ findings and writings to build on to create a plane #I could go on and on and on #pls don’t erase our scientific history

I reblog this post every time I see it

[kyraneko]

We fucking replaced a Muslim scientist with an apple?

[deliriumcrow]

In the middle ages, THE place to go for an education was the middle East, or, failing that, Spain. The Muslim world didn’t have the same limits placed on scientific inquiry that the Christian world did, and since they were willing to look at more than just Aristotole and actually compare texts to the observable world, they had some incredible scientific and mathematical advancements. And street lights and toilets. I mean theories and algebra are great and all, but street lights and toilets. In the 12th century. Also medical advancements, and fewer rules against women studying. Hell, women *should* be the ones studying the female body, would you rather a woman see your female relatives, or some old man? Would you rather have someone who lives in the same kind of body, or one who has no first hand idea what the parts can do?

[mdmshakespeare]

Europeans erased centuries of knowledge from the East because of fear. When we “rediscovered” it, we were still too egotistical to admit that non-whites could have been smarter, so we invented our own mythology.

Bring credit back where it’s due. Honor the true pioneers.

oh its been a WHILE since ive seen this thread 

[viinnttaaggee]

alright ladies its time to “omg i’m so cold feel my hands” your way into a relationship season

[kindnotestoself]

Seasonal depression is no joke. The sun is setting at 4pm, it’s cold and it’s dark. It’s easy to feel hopeless. So reach out. Talk with friends, Have a nice hot glass of tea (or coco, or coffee, whatever makes you happy!) Invest in a SAD light therapy device, Eat plenty of food with Vitamin D, and remember better days are coming

-don’t feel bad if you gain weight during the holidays (winter is a time for keeping warm and eating treats, this is alright. do some stretches and light exercise if you feel like it, but don’t starve yourself or stress out)

-you aren’t obligated to celebrate something that you don’t enjoy or isn’t part of your traditions, if somebody is trying to guilt-trip you into celebrating Christmas, they need to back off

-watch “comfort movies” that make you feel better, regardless if they are about holidays or not 

-don’t be ashamed if you can’t afford gifts for everybody

-if you feel overwhelmed, plan for some alone time to chill. go for a quiet walk, take a long bath/shower, read that book you’ve been missing out on, take a nap. if you are feeling isolated, contact somebody or even just go where people are. go to the grocery store when you don’t need to buy anything (but maybe get a snack just because), call your friends/family, go see a movie alone or in a group, visit the library or a bakery

-the way you feel matters
