“On Periods: Let’s put this shit to bed right now: Women don’t lose their minds when they have period-related irritability. It doesn’t lower their ability to reason; it lowers their patience and, hence, tolerance for bullshit. If an issue comes up a lot during “that time of the month,” that doesn’t mean she only cares about it once a month; it means she’s bothered by it all the time and lacks the capacity, once a month, to shove it down and bury it beneath six gulps of willful silence.”

Basically the best thing about this episode is how clearly disturbed Stiles is by having both his werewolf bestie and his werewolf bestie’s girlfriend trying to tell him the word he’s looking for is “bestiality”.

Like, “Stop reminding me of the sex you’re having and help me try to save some lives. Christ.”

Stiles’ life is so hard.

For real. Sassy Uncle Peter has a lot to answer for.

how come white boys are given adhd medication and called gifted when they act out but black boys are placed in remedial classes and passed off as stupid???? is that not a valid issue among men’s rights activists???

No. Friendzoning and Fedora’s. That’s it.

But the incorrect assumption here is that MRAs actually care about the problems of anyone who isn’t a white adult male who feels entitled to having someone offer to make them a sandwich immediately after sex.

The word you’re looking for, and the one Spock actually uses in the books, is t’hyla. As defined by Gene Roddenberry, who invented it, the word means: Friend/Brother/Lover. Please note that this word was specifically invented to describe Kirk and Spock’s relationship within the context of the story. Roddenberry didn’t have to invent it at all. He didn’t have to include ‘lover’ among the meanings either. But he did. And he did. So THEY did, if you get what I’m saying.

One of the oldest and most famous Mayan pyramids has been destroyed by a construction company in Belize, while digging for crushed rock for a road they were building.

Teen’s invention could charge your phone in 20 seconds

(Photo: Intel)

Waiting hours for a cellphone to charge may become a thing of the past, thanks to an 18-year-old high-school student’s invention. She won a $50,000 prize Friday at an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds.

Read the complete story.

Everybody, remember this face.
Remember this name.
If this becomes a commonly used & highly lauded discovery, at some point a White guy is going to take credit, even if he has to word it like “Improved upon a previous…”
No no no
Remember this brown girl.

awkwardsituationist:

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

South Dakota Officials Miss Historic Meeting With Tribes : NPR:

stfuconservatives:

Federal officials met with South Dakota’s nine Sioux tribes on Wednesday for a historic summit in Rapid City. A year in the making, it was an effort to address long standing concerns over the high number of Native American children the state places in white foster homes. State officials, however, didn’t show up for the meeting.

State officials, however, didn’t show up for the meeting.

“Yes, false rape accusations happen. Run the protocol anyway. I’ve heard that perhaps the military has the highest number of ‘em. True or not, RUN THE PROTOCOL ANYWAY. Because in 15 years of investigating rape accusations, I can count those that panned out as false on one hand. Meanwhile, the one time I almost skipped the protocol, the one time I almost didn’t believe a petty officer, because I was naive as an investigator and a young woman, because her commanding officer described her as “a party girl, always late, always out drinking, don’t bother with this one”, she turned out to be the victim of one of the most brutal assaults I’ve ever investigated. She shouldn’t have still been -alive-, let alone up and making the accusation. So let me repeat: five false accounts in fifteen years. And one time I almost failed a woman ‘cause of the bullshit way it’s normal to talk about us. Take your shipmates’ word, and then run the protocol. Every. Single. Time.”

Sherlock, you sly devil. You made reservations. You’re in the middle of the case and you made dinner reservations. For John.

Now we know why Angelo was so quick to assume John was his date.

how have i not seen this before

Or, you know, he reserved the table that would give him the vantage point that was the reason they went to that restaurant.

Whatever.
