LAST DAY IN OC

GODDAMN THIS PLACE HELL YEAH

[sourhearts]

Perhaps the hardest thing about losing a lover is   to watch the year repeat its days.   It is as if I could dip my hand down into time and scoop up blue and green lozenges of April heat   a year ago in another country. I can feel that other day running underneath this one like an old videotape—here we go fast around the last corner   up the hill to his house, shadows of limes and roses blowing in the car window   and music spraying from the radio and him   singing and touching my left hand to his lips.

Hey

Psstt

The guy who invented the theory that vaccines cause autism had his medical license revoked for it

[denyselfandfollowchristsgni-blog]

thats ridiculous

they took it away because he came up with a seemingly plausible theory?

[cakesexuality]

They took it away because other scientists have been unable to reproduce his results, his results were made up, he didn’t even get approved by an ethics committee, and now he’s risking the health and lives of a whole bunch of people

[avocados-and-avocadonts]

It’s not just that he came to incorrect conclusions, he falsified data on purpose, apparently because he had patented a related medical test and stood to make a lot of money off people using his test instead of vaccinating.

It’s crazy how this one person, in a study of only twelve children, gained so much traction in the world. He put this lie out there—and it was a lie, not just interpreting data incorrectly—and now it doesn’t even matter that he’s been proven totally false. Years of effort to reestablish the truth can’t undo the lie once it’s out there in the world. Hundreds of thousands of people believe that lie, and actual children are getting sick and dying because of it.

This is a really troubling aspect of how human minds work, and it’s something conservative politicians take advantage of on a regular basis. If you just say that “well over 90% of what Planned Parenthood does“ is provide abortions, it doesn’t matter how often people recite the objective truth that abortions are a tiny fraction of Planned Parenthood services. You can say the truth 1000 times for every one time the lie is repeated, and thousands of people will still trust the lie.

I’d never heard this before, and it’s actually really helpful information to have, so thanks. Here is a scientific article by the American Academy of Pediatrics explaining the flaws in Wakefield’s research and briefly summarizing four studies that refuted the fraudulent claims. Here is an article by the editor-in-chief of the British Medical Journal calling him a fraud in no uncertain terms. Here is the first part of a nine-part investigative journalistic series, published in the BMJ, uncovering his fraud.  And the General Medical Council conclusions that stripped Wakefield of his clinical credentials can be found here.

I’m honestly so mad right now reading about this guy. People are dying of measles right now because vaccinations fell off so sharply, and those deaths can be laid at the door of this man.

When the apocalypse comes, pestilence will ride wearing Wakefield’s face

You must write every single day of your life… You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.

Please support a Tumblr Teacher’s Classroom via donations off of their Amazon Wish Lists and/or reblogging this post.

There are teachers from every grade level here.  I asked teachers to send me their wishlist if they needed classroom supplies and materials that their districts and/or students’ families would not be able to supply.  Many teachers on this list have been tumblr friends of mine for years, while some have just come to the #education community more recently.  The majority of the teachers here teach in Title I schools (areas of high economic need), special education, or are new teachers.  Your support makes a world of difference to our students and to us.  Here’s to a successful 2015-2016 school year!

What a great thing to do. Let’s spread this around. And help.

I can't believe I'm fucking moving to New York.

Manhattan, of all the fucking boroughs. Tryna hustle an apartment so my parents don’t worry. Trying to make this perfect relationship work. Trying to let go of people in California that did me wrong. Trying to squeeze as much sunshine out of each day so when it’s the first snow fall outside my apartment, I can cradle California rays in my pocket, smile, and continue working on my thesis

Frances is engaged to Jayson

My mom says, "thank God, instead of wrecking other people's lives, she can wreck just one." Also, my status about fried chicken garnered more likes than their engagement. So there 😎
