My girl spoke nothing but fucking TRUTH. Now that’s this kind of Women we need our girls to look up too.
Who is she?
Sarah Kendzior.
She’s an expert in authoritarianism and has accurately predicted almost everything that is happening – her unflinching insight and analysis is terrifying but invaluable right now. Well worth following on twitter.
fucking
why did i never see this until now
You know what saddens me?
How fast she has to talk.
If a man were saying that, he’d be going slowly to emphasise points. He’d be indulging in the occasional ‘you know’ or other filler words. He’d be able to stop for breath. Notice that she didn’t do that. She had the whole thing memorised and she got it out with barely a pause to breathe.
Why?
Because she expected to be interrupted.
What she said was awesome and is absolutely true, and is frankly underlined by the fact that she had to say the whole thing all at once for fear that she wouldn’t be able to say it at all if she so much as stopped to breathe because one of those older white men sitting around her would interrupt and roll right over her.
what i notice is the guys in the audience sitting motionless, declining to applaud, though every word she spoke was truth and she spoke it with fire. it’s not the content, it’s a powerful, intelligent woman speaking truth with fire that they choose not to support.
You have the ability to freeze time and explore the world while it’s frozen. As far as you know, no one else has this power. One day, while you are wandering through your frozen school, you notice that something is following you.
Its called a shadow
You think you are clever huh? *cries*
no, because if the world is frozen, light particles would be too. yoru shadow would stay the same, even as you moved, because light wouldn’t be moving either.
So the air isn’t moving either, then. Better not stay in one place very long or you just might run out of oxygen or build up way too much carbon dioxide in front of your nose.
That might cause some problems if you’d like to get some sleep.
everyone who writes their ‘7’s with a little dash through them had a conscious moment of truth where they actively chose to write ‘7’ in that way and never stopped doing it like if you can’t clearly recall that fateful decision wyd
I specifically remember making this choice. I had to write deposit slips and there was a question, “is this a 1 or a 7?” so I changed the way i did it to make it clear.

The Blue Pond wasn’t there from very long. It’s an artificial pond created when a dam was erected to protect the region from mudflows that might occur from the nearby volcano on Mt. Tokachi. In the wake of the eruption on December 1988, the Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau decided to construct a dam upstream on the Bieigawa river to prevent mudflow. Water blocked by the dam now accumulates in a depression in the forest creating the Blue Pond.
The blue color of the pond has not been fully explained but is attributed to the presence of aluminum hydroxide in the water that reflects the shorter wavelength blue light the same way the earth’s atmosphere does. The color of the pond also changes depending on what angle you look at it from and even at different times of the day. Although the water appears blue when viewed from the land, the color is not found in the water itself. by Kaushik, Amusing Planet
I feel like everyone in New York in 1911 was a hair’s breadth away from being run over. And they weren’t even looking at any screens! What’s their excuse??? (Some of them are looking at the camera, though.)
