the year is 2017. a ufo lands in your backyard. out steps a group of aliens.
you gasp. “are you here to find our leader and kill him??”
the alien in front seems alarmed. “no, no, we all come in peace, why would you-”
“oh.” you sigh dejectedly. “i just- we have a really bad president. like really evil bad, i just thought-” you start to tear up.
the alien places a hand on your shoulder. “hey now, it’s okay, maybe you can tell us all about him and we’ll- we’ll see what we can do.”

The hyrax is a herbivorous animal native to Africa and the Middle East. Often mistaken for rodents, they are more closely related to elephants and manatees. There are four different recognized species of hyrax.
(If you think these little guys are adorable, I highly recommend going to the wikipedia page and watching the short video of a hyrax chewing. You will not be disappointed.)
My favorite weird babies.
Chelsea Peretti: One Of The Greats
that was not where I was expecting it to go AND I LOVED IT
I was hoping to get that work done. So, of course I have to get one of those weak and shaky cold episodes. Of course 😬
We’ll see after some hot drinks.
My Brain: Eat
Me: Okay, what should we make?
My Brain: No make!!! Only eat.
So much shit I want to do is like trying to bend a spoon with your mind
Like maybe if I want this badly enough, maybe if I growl and glare and concentrate hard enough, I can do the thing
This is Lucky. She lives in the store inside my subway station. Here she is displaying her superior blep. She is always happy to see me because she knows I worship her
Every time you say that you only donate to charities and non-profits with extremely low overhead and administrative costs, what you’re actually saying is that you’ll only support charities and non-profits that underpay their employees and stretch them thin because they don’t have the budget to hire enough of them.
Transparency should be the priority here. Not low administrative costs.
#OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS#AS SOMEONE WHO’S WORKED IN A NONPROFIT THAT HAD LIKE THREE PEOPLE AT HEAD OFFICE#AND AT NONPROFITS WITH A STRONG AND LARGE TEAM OF SUPPORT STAFF#IT MATTERS#IT FUCKING MATTERS
THIS.
Also? Especially in really BIG catastrophes, in the IMMEDIATE aftermath?
You want the charities that can MOBILIZE FAST. You CANNOT DO THAT if you are pinching every penny and working to the minimal staffing. You just can’t.
Transparency is important. And a charity should be able to EXPLAIN why each of the dollars they spent is spent the way it is, and it should be a solid reason.
And no, this is not just a factor of Money Is Evil. Even if we weren’t in a monetary-reward situation, value of effort, time and training still exists, as does value of goods, and it would simply turn to a different metric.
Considering all the damage done by Harvey and BEING done by Irma and Jose, this seems like a good time to reblog this.
going to the doctor when you’re chronically ill is weird.
It’s like imagine everything in your house is on fire, and you’re standing there and the fire department come in like, describe the fire to me and maybe we can find what caused it and put it out.
and you can’t just say everything so you’re like… well the fire in the curtain is the biggest
but the fire in the photo albums might be doing the most damage
also the fire in the couch is really inconvenientoccasionally the firemen are like, well your tv is on fire so it might be electronic-fireitus but that would cause other things like fire in the dvd player
and you’re like, oh yes. that’s been on fire for years. I forgot to mention it because it’s always been a relatively small fire. It’s right next to the bookshelf which has much more fire.
and then the firemen are like, oh. i wouldn’t worry about that. book shelf fire just happens sometimes.
😂😂 OMG yes.
“test results say there’s no fire. you’re fine,” they tell you as you suffocate on smoke
