National Geographic on Facebook: this is a facial reconstruction of a teenage girl who lived 9000 years ago based on her remains!
half the comments: men criticizing her looks and saying she’s unattractive and mannish
anyway this is the reconstruction and I always enjoy seeing the faces of prehistoric humans and how much we have in common over thousands of years despite how incredibly different our lives are. I support her and I think she looks wonderful.
She looks pissed and like she’s about to kick your ass… she probably could
1. Smiles are nearly impossible to duplicate accurately, so neutral expressions tend to be the default which leads to RBFs like this.
2. The angle they chose to photograph her may be causing the “small face” issue.
3. We’ve seen some incredibly ugly reconstructions of men without so much as a peep about their looks. Why comment on this one? Whyyyyyyy?
Wednesday, December 19th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma and I’m so sorry to have to ask this again but, would anyone be able to send me a few £’s to help me get through the winter months, especially Christmas & New Year?!
As many of you already know, I’ve been struggling a lot these past few months, due to my welfare benefits being revoked and without any government aid, I’ve been struggling to make ends meet. So far, I’ve been getting by with the help of some of the kindest people in the world but as it’s now winter where I live, I’m struggling to get through the festive period. To make things worse, I’m not due to receive a partial-benefit payment until the New Year and I desperately need help.I need at least £150, to help me get groceries/supplies and pay a few essential bills (keeping my gas + electricity on) throughout Christmas & New Year.
I’ve also created a wishlist with some essential items + Christmas gifts to help me get by (thermal clothing, boots etc..) and as many of the items are from the marketplace, you’ll need to join my listto buy any items.
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life and keep me warm and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to buy anything off my wishlist or donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling. Thank you for your help 💖
It would really mean so much to me guys if anyone could possibly help out, I desperately need help to pay my bills and get through Christmas and New Year and I’m struggling so much to do so. Literally anything helps right now. 🙏💖
Back to decidedly analog text messages here: leaving another Post-it where he should hopefully see it before he leaves for work, while I’m reminded to ask him to make a pharmacy stop later 🙄
Glad I did remember to do that, but yeah. Suboptimal arrangements.
People seeking asylum at the Southern border will be forced to remain in Mexico while their cases in the US are being processed, according to a Department of Homeland Security initiative announced Thursday.
The deal, released as DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen appeared before the House of Representatives, represents a massive shift in immigration policy at the border.
“Today we are announcing historic measures to bring the illegal immigration crisis under control,” Nielsen said. “We will confront this crisis head on, uphold the rule of law, and strengthen our humanitarian commitments.”

You have a thing at 2:00 PM so you set a reminder for 1:00 PM because you don’t want to be late, but you should eat by 12:00 PM. That means you should start preparing food by 11:30 AM, but you want to double check or confirm the appointment before 11:00 AM before everyone goes to lunch. So if you want to finish your other tasks by 10:00 AM, you ought to start at 8:00 AM, which means you’ve got to wake up at 7:30 AM and you may as well get ready to go out then ahead of time, and that’s how something that starts at 2:00 PM effectively starts at 7:30 AM and lasts the entire day.
ME. ME. ME.
Literally how I plan my day when I have a thing
This is literally just being a functional adult with basic organisation and planning skills.
It isn’t some special *thing*
No, it’s not. This post is about my executive dysfunction. It’s my performance anxiety and my depression. It’s dozens of people with ADHD in the comments remarking that this is the only way they can make appointments– often with each stage of this process tied to an alarm. Many of those people routinely fail even with that forethought. It’s people with chronic pain or disability who clock every activity in their day by how long it takes, when they have to prepare, how long they’ll have to stand or work, etc.
I am sure “functional adults with basic organization and planning skills” go through a milder experience of this thought process. But it’s comfortable to them– not something they think twice about, let alone make a post about. I made this post when I was dreading going to get my hair cut. A haircut. I made this post because I was reflecting about how crazy a simple visit to the salon was making me. It was an appointment I called for myself, on my own terms, an experience I enjoy and actively wish I did more often. But I don’t. Because making appointments is so hard for me, because I have executive function problems. It’s been about 9 months since my last haircut.
I almost flubbed college because I dreaded meeting with a single professor once at the beginning of a semester even though I wanted to.
I haven’t gone to the doctor since I got new insurance. I just struggled for three weeks to bring myself to arrange for a mandatory safety recall upgrade for my car so its airbag won’t explode into metal shards and kill me if I’m in an accident. I often fail to go out, to arrange meetups with my friends, to achieve my personal functional goals simply because all of that is going through my head whenever I have to make simple appointments or complete basic tasks.
Does that sound like “literally just being a functional adult with basic organization and planning skills?”
