Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff
My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk.
My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2
My mom had a mammogram. The radiologist thought the spots were just regular calcium deposits.
Turns out it was triple negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nods. Mastectomy, radiation and chemo saved her life.
This could SAVE a life.

- getting an 80% on a test in 8th grade: (loud wailing that lasts at least an hour followed by a sinking feeling of despair and uselessness)
- getting an 80% on a test now: (power slides down the hall while singing the national anthem)
The kawaii-est Titan of them all needed some captions.

STOP DISNEY FROM TRADEMARKING DIA DE LOS MUERTOS! I am signing this petition to stop Walt Disney from appropriating and exploiting Mexican religion and culture.Dia de los Muertos is a religious observance during which people, and particularly native peoples, in Mexico, the United States, and abroad, honor ancestors and loved ones who have died. This important religious, spiritual, and cultural observance pre-dates the invasion of Mexico by the Spanish. We celebrate and honor our deceased loved ones by making altars and placing offerings of food such as pan de muertos baked in shapes of skulls and figures, candles, incense, yellow marigolds known as cempaxochitl, and offering prayers and the smoke of copal.an article about this in case you’re itching for a quick source, there’s also some posted with the petitition
I am surprised that Disney went that far… that’s pretty far. Guess I should know not to be surprised by now…
for those who are being complete idiots and jerks about this. It’s NOT that Disney is securing the film title of “Dia De Los Muertos” I really could give two fucks if that was the case. It’s that Disney is TRYING TO SECURE RIGHTS TO EVERYTHING DIA DE LOS MUERTOS RELATED.
That is fucked up on soooooo many levels. It’s not their holiday and it’s not a trademark to them.
Please reblog and spread the word.
Disney, why you ackin’ cray cray?

and then there was Texas
this map makes no sense if anything the great plains are the earth kingdom and the air nomads are in cali and the us-southwest, come on people.
and yeah the south is hotter than the north, but the water sports all happen down there, so either water and fire gotta switch, or put water tribe back up in the polar regions, since the water tribe was clearly, at least in part based on the native arctic tribes *anyway*
I think I can see the Water Tribe as centered around the Great Lakes. Alaska should probably be Water Tribe also, though.
I’m actually not sure how I’d classify the majority of the South. It’s too diverse, there’s mountains, swamps and Florida which is like tropical swamps.
I can see all these regions being any one of these nations, especially the West Coast. West Coast - Fire nation: (1) Actually being in The Ring of Fire (2) Frequent wildfires. Earth Kingdom: (1) Frequent earthquakes. (2) Mojave & part of the Great Basin Desert. Water Tribe: Surf culture/Tsunami risk.
Great Plains: Air nomads via tornadoes/Dust Bowl. Can see it being Earth as well (for obvious reasons).
Great Lakes: It’s fine.Southeast: Could be either Water or Fire, but the Gulf Coast/Everglades is definitely foggy swamp, wherever that was.
Haah, yes, I thought of the foggy swamp when I thought of the south region as well. Because, well, it’s pretty obvious.
I think I’d prefer to be Fire Nation over Water Tribe, having my element with me always seems more convenient.
but everything changed
When the South attacked.

if artistic people are forced to take years of math and science then why don’t sciencey people have to take art and music classes
someone found a real life plot hole
Um, we (sciencey people) do though. I’m not certain of how EVERY university works, but as far as I know “In order to produce more well-rounded students” i.e gather more tuition money from credits, schools have “Liberal Studies” requirements which includes Humanities and Fine Arts as well as Maths and Science requirements. TMYK.
I think they probably meant more as part of basic education. Art/Music is around for elementary school but disappears once you hit junior high or is optional. And the classes you do have to take at this level are not considered near as important (the average person doesn’t have someone telling them they’ll never get into a decent college if they don’t pass middle school Art). Whereas math/science is continually present and always required (until upper University level) and the importance of it is continually stressed. And if any part of a curriculum is going to be cut math/science is generally safe. Generally speaking they’re valued more highly than the arts.
This is sadly very true. Regrettably, I wasn’t thinking about that aspect of it at all.
if someone’s happy doing their strange weird thing and they’re not hurting anybody then that’s really awesome and you should just let them be and maybe even be glad for them
so many people are scared shitless to show anybody what makes them happy or excited because there are so many people eager to point and laugh
hey how about we stop ragging on people who self-diagnose bc not everyone has access to mental health care facilities and resources and hey maybe just MAYBE someone who chooses to self-diagnose is not merely searching for mental illnesses to use as interesting trinkets with which to garnish their personality but rather seeking out an explanation for difficulties that are impacting their day-to-day life in order to make sense of how they feel and figure out a way to make things better

This is what the school-to-prison pipeline looks like. This is how black youth are criminalized.
- She was doing a science experiment
- She’s being charged as an ADULT
- She’s being charged with a FELONY
If this all goes the way the prosecution wants, this young woman will be LEGALLY discriminated against for the rest of her life. No voting, housing discrimination, employment discrimination (as if getting a job while black isn’t hard enough), etc. etc.
Perhaps instead of fighting about who is tougher, Batman or Iron Man, we could spend a little internet rage making sure this young scientist doesn’t go to prison?
From the comments section:
“To everyone commenting on this thread that is outraged by this chain of events: I am just as outraged as you. But it is not enough for us simply to vent on message boards because nothing gets accomplished. I strongly urge you to write a letter to the school district, local authorities, AND to the Principal. Or just pick one…but DO SOMETHING!!! And let us remember that in order to get our points across we must be INDIGNANT and DIGNIFIED! I am in the process of starting a petition, once I have gathered some more crucial facts. Please be on the lookout for this petition and be sure to sign it ( via Change.org ) in addition to your letter or letters to Polk County Law Officials, The school Principal, and the School Administration.

pio@polksheriff.orgIf we can all take 5-10 minutes to read this story, comment, and read posts by others then surely we can take the same amount of time to act on this child’s behalf.”
Let’s not let Kiera Wilmot’s situation drift out of our consciousness. Let’s continue paying attention to this story until she is NOT a felon and NOT expelled.
To be clear, I did this EXACT THING in ninth grade. THE EXACT SAME THING without consulting my science teacher and with significantly more explosive power. For some reason…not sure why…I was not arrested, handcuffed, expelled, or put in jail. If I had been, I can guarantee I would not be where I am now.

“At Sherlock’s grave, before finally walking away, John’s quick-turn is how a lower ranking officer would leave the presence of a higher one after being dismissed. The whole time, consciously or unconsciously, John has viewed Sherlock as his superior officer, someone he needs to trust and take orders from in order to make their friendship/crime solving work.” (x)
And that little nod he gives… its the kind a lower ranking officer would give when being dismissed. Its either a ‘Yes, sir.’ or a short nod. And so he’s being dismissed. He’s being dismissed from whatever life he had before Sherlock died.
