Taking place in England the owners of the yard slowly kept adding sections to the contraption so when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they’d add another section. It took over 2 weeks to get to the final product you see in the video.

It’s that simple.

This is why universal programs are important. Every single kid in my school got an eye test through the school at age 10. We just had some opticians come in and take over a room for a week to test every child. Testing for shit like colourblindness too. You need to test every single kid, or some of them will get missed. They might get missed because their parents don’t have vision problems and missed the signs, they might get missed because their parents can’t afford regular opticians visits, they might get missed because their parents couldn’t afford glasses, or couldn’t afford new lenses when a kids’s prescription changed. but they’ll get missed, and that’s really, really bad.

Systemic inability to afford glasses is terrible. I forget how lucky we are here to have the NHS. I mean, my mum hated her big blue NHS glasses, but she had them. And when I got glasses age 14 you got an £80 voucher for kids frames, and then lenses were free. IDK what it’s like now what with the cuts and all, but universal access to basic healthcare is so important.

People underestimate the degree to which kids do badly in school because of vision problems. Personally, if I were helping a child who was failing, it’s one of the first things I’d check.

With wealthier kids who actually get eye exams, and have their vision corrected to 20/20, it’s visual processing problems like difficulty converging at near or processing clutter or tracking. With poorer kids, it can be all of that, or just needing glasses.

And then kids grow up thinking they’re stupid or lazy when really they just can’t see.

Many people don’t think of poor eyesight as a disability, but it is. You don’t have to be legally blind to benefit from accommodations, i e eyeglasses.

[sadakotetsuwan]

Four out of five kids in the juvenile justice system have some sort of visual impairment. The average in the population at large is one out of five. THIS IS HUGE.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed did the same thing in Detroit, rebuilding the public health department and getting glasses to every child who needed them. He said that 30% of children in Detroit who tested positive for visual impairment had no adjustments by the time they were tested the year after–meaning they went a whole school year without being able to see the board. In the first two years of the program (which utilizes Medicaid funding and costs Michigan no extra money) they gave 7,000 pairs of glasses to children in Detroit.

He’s currently running for Governor of Michigan on a platform of state-level Universal Health Care, the $15 minimum wage, universal Pre-K, free college for families making less than $150k/year, CLEAN WATER, union protection, LGBTQ+ rights, and the removal of money from politics.

If y'all are in Michigan, your vote, donation or volunteered time can help sway the election in favor of someone who understands that KIDS NEED GLASSES AND CLEAN WATER.

My grandma had one of her breasts removed after a bout of breast cancer (she recovered fine) and never got reconstruction so every morning she had to stick this beanbag fake boob in her bra so her chest would be even since her other breast was pretty big. One day my family drove by her house to pick her up and she got in the car like “I can’t shake the feeling I’m forgetting something” and halfway to church she suddenly shouted “MY BOOB” and made my dad turn around so she could go get it
