I've finished one of my life-goals, which was to write an actual novel
It's probably a load of absolute shite but I had fun doing it so... whatever :-) I wrote it as a hobby because I wanted too
If anyone would like a free copy, message me <3

Conservatives have so much fucking nerve talking about how “ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS ARE OUT OF CONTROL” when absolutely no-one feels inconvenienced by them or has ever even encountered them in their personal lives unless they’re the CEO’s of a megaconglomerate bitter that they couldn’t rip up a national park and buy like their fifth house boat
Yeah, it’s literally the Kochs saying “It’s so UNFAIR that when the oil pipelines we own but don’t maintain bust and flood a town with toxic sludge, that WE have to pay to fix it.” and “An employee we forced to clean chemical storage tanks without the proper gear for 15 years developed cancer, and they’re allowed to sue us over it? TYRANNY!!”
How is it never occurred to me to put it like this before?
its because republicans/ceos have convinced a large majority of americans that corporations are not only living entities that need to be protected but also that they’re even more important than people

1) we don't have air conditioning 2) our houses are built to trap heat 3) our roads have literally melted at 36° 4) people literally die in these temperatures. We're a moderate climate, more used to cold and damp than this. Like... I get you meant it as a joke but these panics are completely justified?
Yes, it was a joke. Similar to how Australians think the entire world is ending if the temperature gets less than 15 degrees in the winter or they get rain for more than 1 day in a row.
UK in the summer: Temperatures forecast for 30 degrees, emergency services on standby, heatwave declared, media advising the public on how to stay cool, hospitals prepare to treat heatstroke
Australia in the summer: If it get over 40 degrees we may consider having the air conditioning on for a couple of hours in the evening
thank u google thats exactly what i was looking for, not how many days she has been the prime minister of the united kingdom, her height in picometers. you can read my mind, google, its uncanny

Napoleon and Hitler were born 129 years apart, came to power 129 years apart, declared war on Russia 129 years apart, and were defeated 129 years apart.
Hitler also had a bizarre obsession with Napoleon, insisting they were somehow connected.
congenitaldisease
Napoleon was born in 1769. Hitler was born in 1889. That’s a difference of 120 years. Napoleon came to power in 1799. Adolf Hitler’s rise to power cannot be attributed to one event, but he gained power to become chancellor in 1933 which was the turning point. That’s a difference of 134 years. The French invasion of Russia began in 1812. The German invasion of Russia began in 1941. That’s the only difference of 129 years. Hitler admitted defeat in April of 1945. Napoleon was defeated in June of 1815 at the battle of Waterloo. That’s a difference of 130 years.

Breaking news: Youth of today actually give a flying fuck about the future of their country as a whole
While the DUP stance on literally everything is awful, consider:
The Tory party in coalition with them is either going to fuck up so badly and piss so many people off that Labour will easily win next election
Or
The Tories will become destabilised by those that are more in line with DUP policies and those that aren’t, and again probably Labour will win next election if the a Tories come across as hugely divided and/or (more) incompetent than they are at the moment
So. Just survive. Survive to the next election. Labour has made astronomical strides this election and even forcing the Tories into a minority government will make it very difficult for them to pull off huge controversial policies, like those regarding the NHS.

Please vote, especially if you are under 30.

Straya occasionally does the politician thing right by having mandatory voting. I mean we also fuck it up a lot like when we lost a prime minister at sea and named a swimming pool after him, but sometimes we do good

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.
The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?
You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.
You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.
You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is tetrachromat.
You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway :)
It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter the background light ;)

I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.
I see 35-39 colours, and I hate the colour yellow. That was actually what made me curious enough to stop scrolling and count. Who knew there was a scientific reason behind my colour preferences? So the idea here is that what I see as annoyingly, garishly bright, most people don’t see as clearly, and that’s why it’s “cheerful?” (I’ve never understood that description of yellow.)
I barely saw 18 or 19. Dang :/

Tziporah/Zipporah was Moses' wife. Sephora is the Greek spelling of her name. Sephora the shop used it because she was meant to be very beautiful and the name itself probably sounds cool and so on.
Tziporah/Zipporah/Sephora/etc was also a poc. Her family were Midianites which are described both in Christianity and Judaism as a "dark skinned" people and she lived in Nubia which is present day northern Sudan although some sources also describe Nubia as being/including Ethiopia as well. She was not white despite certain movies trying to portray her as such. She is explicitly described as being of a difference racial background to Moses by Miriam/Maryiam/etc/why so many name variations for these people ugh
