All amazing points and so important to take in. I think I have done a couple of these, but not habitually or intensely. But it's good awareness for me.
This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

I think this is the best scientist photograph I have ever seen.
But people didn’t believe him on reddit. So Watterson made the photo sequence into a gif.
Here’s the gif for anyone curious.
I had to go through the notes to find the gif. Not because I didn’t believe him but because I wanted to see it.
Fantastic

[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over
when people are like “he’s not even attractive you could find a guy that looks like him at any gas station” i’m like….. well you see there’s beauty everywhere actually
You can also find a sunset at a gas station
time to break out my favorite photo I ever took
okay where is the mass outrage about the way this world cup host nation has behaved so far given that all sports media outlets were (rightfully) up in arms about qatar
making the world cup in the one country that a) doesnt give two shits about football and b) is actively trying to kick out every person who doesn't look white, is one of the boldest ways fifa has shown they have a massive disregard for human lives and only care for profit (next to artificially mantaining high prices for tickets by purchasing the tickets themselves)
who’s gonna tell tumblr that executive dysfunction is more than Not Doing Things?
okay
these are the executive functions. impairment of these functions is executive dysfunction
Oh.
OH
Girl, help. None of my executives are functioning
Swimming tips if you find yourself wanting to swim in a river and you've not done it before.
I just read that 9 people of which 7 children died in drowning-related accidents in Great Britain. As someone who has been swiming in rivers (very cold and fast ones) since I was seven years old, I want to give a few tips and I hope this post gets spread on tumblr so more people see it: 1. Never go swimming in a river on the first hot day. Wait at least 5 days. I know, it's annoying if you live in a country where hot days are rare but the temperature of the water is still too cold and has to heat up, Equally if it has rained you have to wait again. If you notice your lips are getting blueish - get out immediately because that is your limit and you are heading towards hypotermia.
2. Do not under any circumstances JUMP into the river, even if its a safe location or a pier if you are only getting into the water. Your body will get a shock from cold water and you will have serious issues getting out of the water. We called this "to harden/adjust yourself". Walk into the water slowly, wait a few minutes and then take the water and wash yourself with it slowly, then plunge your body (not your head though) into it. Now you have adjusted your body more to the temperature of the water and can swim. Should you feel anything weird like your chest constricting a lot, get out and try again slowly.
3. No swimming between 13:00-15:00 on really hot days. Just because you are in water does not mean you cannot get a heatstroke (you'd have to drink constantly while swimming). Swim early in the morning and early noon and use the 13-15 period to cool off and lounge at the beach (not in direct sunlight, if you swim in rivers there are often willow trees one can put your towel under and relax) 4. No jumping into rapids, I nearly drowned as a child because of this. If you are being dared and are not a good swimmer, don't do it, you will die. If you are confindent of your swimming, dive a few meters ahead of the rapid, break the surface quickly and let the water carry you downstream (this is only for small rapids, do not fuck around with big ones unless you've been doing it all your life) 5. Do not attempt to swim to the other side no matter how small a river if it is the first time swimming there. You need to know how the river goes and if you really want to swim to the other side make a plan. Swim ahead in the quiet part of the river and once you are reaching the faster running middle let the water carry you downstream, gather some energy (you have to know how to float!!!) and then use that energy to get out of the current and to the shore. Rest before attempting to go back.
6. Don't drink and swim, we did this as teens and a we lost classmates due to it. Never swim alone and always keep an eye on your friends.
7. Don't jump into the water in your clothes, dresses or anything that can get heavy fast and drag you under. I learned this the hard way when I didn't take off my towel and had it wrapped around my shoulders and it got so heavy that I nearly went under with it.
8. If someone is drowning - get help, don't try to rescue them yourself and especially not by swimming directly at them, they will be panicking and drag you under and you will both die. If you are drowning, try not to panic, try floating, if people are trying to rescue you directly try floating and allowing them to get you to the shore. The more you panic the worse it will be. 9. Last tip which is a bit specific but if you are trying to dive keep your eyes open underwater and if by any chance you are swimming in rivers with that has caves or tufa structures DO NOT DIVE AROUND THEM or inside. It is not safe, you can drown.
Ok that is all I could remember, stay safe, stay warm and happy swimming. PS. This is tips specifically for a bit narrower, faster mountain type rivers. If someone has more tips for swimming in wider "slower" rivers that have a muddy bottom, please share with us.
All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
^^^^^^ read it. say it out loud. keep repeating it until you understand.

researchers: this condition is underdiagnosed advocacy groups: we'll spread knowledge that it's underdiagnosed healthcare workers: some of us will use expanded diagnostic criteria now patients: wow we finally know what's up
tabloids: the condition is mysteriously spreading. this is DANGEROUS.
