feminaamphibios reblogged bigfatfeminist:“Stop trying to “get it together.” The biggest lie we’re told when we’re growing up is that soon as we’re adults, as soon as we’re in college, finish college, get that job, have that steady income, find that someone special, “find ourselves,” find that perfect house, get that retirement fund, have those children, everything will fall into place. Here’s a secret: it won’t. Every new development in your life, good or bad, big or small, will come with its own very special set of challenges. The sooner you accept that, the better off you’ll be. But the myth is perpetuated throughout life, perhaps now more than ever with happy status updates on Facebook and blushing bride/happy multi-tasking mommy blog posts. What these success stories don’t tell you is what is going on behind closed doors. They don’t tell you that your friend who is so over the moon with her new baby had to apply for food stamps. They don’t tell you that your fantastic, involved professor struggles with depression. They don’t tell you that your happily married friend still has nightmares about her abusive ex. They don’t tell you the cousin who just got that jealousy-inducing job opportunity is thinking of breaking up with his boyfriend of 10 years. What closely interacting with people from all backgrounds on the Internet for over a decade has taught me is that no one “has it together” in the way we think they do. So stop trying to have that as your goal, because you are just setting yourself up for massive failure.”

He may not have all the answers, but the man obviously knows what hes talking about and actually seems to give a shit about our country and where it is headed. This man is truly a patriot and deserves a follow.

Whenever I click a link at a Yahoo blog, it pops up this window, which won’t let me follow the link unless I grant Yahoo permission to run a Facebook app.
If this is some new policy at Yahoo, I’m done with anything related to Yahoo forever.
I hopt it’s just some strange bug that’s only affecting me. Is this happening to anyone else?

“We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and PunishmentI call them friend-crushes and they are a constant. Sometimes I feel like I can live half a lifetime with someone as my best friend or significant other in the time it takes them to stroll past me, eye contact optional.

What you eat may affect how you learn, say UCLA researchers in a new study on the effects of high fructose corn syrup and omega-3 fatty acids on the behavior of rats.
Rats that were fed only high fructose corn syrup and standard rat chow had more trouble navigating a maze at the end of six weeks than rats who were fed a diet supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids, according to results published in the Journal of Physiology.

anvantastic reblogged thetardisissherlocked:I'm actually a really shy person.
Like when you first meet me, our conversation is going to be awkward no matter what because I wouldn’t have any idea what to talk about. It’s also worse when you’re cute. But if you wait a little I’ll get comfortable talking with you. Then I’ll start talking so much that it’ll annoy you. I really do talk a lot.

Engineer plans to build real-life version of Starship Enterprise within 20 years
Capt. Kirk explored the universe in the USS Enterprise around the year 2250, but at least one engineer thinks it can be done this century. -
The ugly firing of Banner-Herald Managing Editor Allison Floyd last week by Publisher Scott Morrissey and Vice President for Audience Andrea Griffith sent shock waves through our community. “Ugly,” because they fired her for doing her job, checking a fact in a press release from the school system. They fired her after school superintendent Philip Lanoue picked up the telephone and called publisher Morrisaey.
There are two sides to everything, and this is a one-sided account of what happened to Floyd. The circumstantial evidence makes it look like a working journalist was fired because she stepped on the toe of her publisher’s golfing buddy. The whole thing looks even worse because the question Allison Floyd asked pertained to the Classic City High School, where the principal, Kelly Girtz, is the domestic partner of Vice President Griffith. Publisher Morrissey and Vice President for Audience Griffith surely had reasons sufficient to them for getting rid of Editor Floyd, but to do it after a phone call from the superintendent makes everybody look bad.
