Hey. Don’t Cry. Carpenter&hayward Best Friendship Okay? People’s Capacity For Persevering Compassion

If I was a teacher, I would make a list of false statements and then have my kids write a paper proving that the statement is false. Examples of false statements might be:

[State Im teaching in] has no Rowen trees.

Singapore outlawed the sale of teriyaki sauce

The word biscuit comes from bi meaning two and cuit meaning baking pan

Wearing your hair in pigtails can cause head cancer

A turtle sheds its shell like a hermit crab

Because all those things are kinda hard to disprove and it teaches kids research and misinformation and how to build a case. Also theres lots of ways they could find 'proof'

the introvert urge to say “no worries either way” when you’re actually worrying both ways plus a secret third way

Eskew episode 10, Performance: Terrible no good corporate brainstorming session (with specific mention of a brainstorming wall)

Silt Verses season 1, episode 7: Terrible no good corporate brainstorming session (with specific mention of a brainstorming whiteboard)

Silt verses season 3, episode 10: Terrible no good corporate brainstorming session (with specific mention of pinning ideas to a "wall of illumination")

This is becoming a pattern… is this a cry for help?

*leans into mic* yes, it is

In the centuries to come, future archaeologists will be bemused by a crude form of false democracy in which a group of workers were ordered to write as many ill-conceived ideas on a wall as possible in the belief that this was a form of strategy, when in fact it was merely giving them a sense of participation in the organisational changes that would be inflicted upon them.

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.

I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.

Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.

And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!

Is that not just the coolest shit ever????

Wolf 359 went. What if a man and a woman annoyed each other very much. And then there was never any romantic tension between them and she is already happily married and they develop a strong platonic bond

Pretty good tbh

Since vine is actually shutting down tomorrow and this meme is pretty much dead, I’d thought I throw in some of my favs for fun.

The Blues Brothers (1980)

that james baldwin quote where he says, “it took many years of vomiting up all the filth i’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before i was able to walk on the earth as though i had a right to be here.”
