More than slightly depressed today bc I haven’t been taking meds like I’m supposd to—left dop kit in car ALL THE WAY outside and consciously failed to retrieve it on day 1, forgot on day 2, pig-headedly wouldn’t go get it on day 3, and officially didn’t care on day 4. Day 4 without Zoloft is never a good day and I know better, so, I made JD watch me as I put a week’s worth of prescriptions in my daily pill caddy. I am so glad that I only have minor depression/anxiety bc if I had it any worse or, God forbid, a more serious diagnosis, my lack of responsibility for personal health would be disastrous. Here’s where I would admonish a loved one for pulling this shit. #psychmajor #ishouldknowbetter #mentalhealth #stigmaisstoopid #startaconversation #badlisa #Godsavethequeen

The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry mid-term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.
The answer by this student was so ‘profound’ that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
The Question:
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
Representative Carrie Meek, 1980
From the Florida Memory, with the following caption: Representative Carrie Meek’s shirt reads: “A women’s place is in the House and the Senate.” Meek wore this prophetic T-shirt in the Florida House chamber in 1980, where she served from 1978 to 1983. In 1982, she became the first African-American woman elected to the Florida Senate. Meek later served in the United States Congress (1992-2001). Prior to her career in politics, she taught at Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach and Florida A&M University in Tallahassee.

Once, a rich man lost all that he had. To support his family, he became a day laborer, working hard from dawn until dusk. One day, Elijah appeared to him disguised as an Arab and told him that he was destined to be blessed with a gift of seven prosperous years. “Do you want them now or at the end of your life?” Elijah asked him. “I will ask my wife for advice,” the man replied. … “Ask for them now,” his wife said, “for if we ask for them at the end of our lives, we will know that we have but seven years to live.” … That day, his children uncovered a chest of gold coins while they were digging in their yard. “Let us use this gift wisely,” advised his wife. And so they shared their good fortune generously with those less fortunate. At the end of seven years, Elijah returned to take back his gift. … [The man’s wife advised], “Tell him that if he can find another couple who have used such a gift more wisely than we have, he can have his treasure back.” And though Elijah traveled from one end of the earth to the other, he failed to find two more generous people. And so he never reclaimed his gift, and the couple lived to a ripe old age, opening their hands to all in need until the day they died.
Midrash Zuta Ruth 4:11 (via yidquotes)
Justice and vengeance are not the same thing. And vengeance is not the answer. But stories of injustice must be told. So I hope the truth burns. I hope it sears into us. For a twisted version of the truth only dilutes the lessons we must remember. It weakens our humanity, our love, our core beings. So speak the truth. Scream the truth. And only the truth.
