        Beijing, Definitely, and Guns: BANG

 WE CAN END GUN VIOLENCE.

American citizens own 40% of all guns in the world. 

Out of more than one billion firearms in the world, American citizens hold 393 million, for a population of roughly 326 million. That’s a lot of guns!

The last time the US federal government managed to pass laws that limit the spread and use of guns was 25 years ago. It was 1994. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban was temporary. It expired in 2004, resulting in a massive increase in mass shootings across the country. Republicans are running out of excuses, blaming the latest incidents in Drayton and El Paso on video games.

We can end gun violence. Let’s start with gun control.


What sort of gun control legislation would you like to see be put into place?


OP, that claim of shootings increased is false. The violence and shootings didn’t change in that decade from the previous decade, and in fact, violence has been on the decline. 
WHAT HAS CHANGED is how much media is shoved down your throat. Thats it. The nonstop spam from legacy media of a single event for a month, if not months on end is what changed. It used to be a 5, maybe 10 minute story has now turned into a 4 week “constant coverage” of spewing the same info daily, with nothing added. 
After the early 90s, we saw a sharp decline and its been declining ever since. 
Meanwhile, ownership is at an alltime high, increasing, as if a plethora of armed citizens reduces the audacity of a potential killer to attempt knowing they’ll get capped.
What has also changed is the increase in the absolutely terrible idea of “gun free zones” seeing as approximately 85-95% of these shootings are occuring in these zones. Seems like that’s your problem. 
Hmm, this graph seems to showcase that despite the US owning vastly more guns… homicide rate is lower than a hefty chunk of even the non gun owners…


I’d just like to know how they propose to take our guns. If I got one logical explanation from one of these half wits that didn’t include magic or ridiculous gestapo tactics we could have a conversation but, every F’ing time it devolves into name calling, insults, and slander. They simply can’t explain how to take the guns away. Not a single one of them has ever responded to me without crass vulgarities and irrational screeching.

Anyway, guys, why you need THAT many guns? I understand owned a few for protection or legal hunting, but why do you have around 40% of firearms in the world??


I’m sorry, are you implying the Yanks should meet international proportional quotas on guns?


We do own a few for self-defense and hunting.  It’s just that the rest of the world doesn’t own very many guns.


The reason we all have so many guns is very simple: logistics. The point of the second amendment is for us, the citizens of the USA, to be “shit your pants, wake up in a cold sweat” terrifying to the people running this country, so much so that they involuntarily have second, third, even fourth thoughts about ever violating our rights. The 2nd amendment is the most important and most powerful of all the amendments. Every single right and amendment could taken away, and we could regain them all with that one. And I’m not the only one who recognizes the importance of the 2nd.And it definitely terrifies Beijing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t have to justify an amount of guns to you any more than I have to justify how many video games or coffee cups I have.

        Children, College, and Confidence: Maya's Homework
 5:32 PM (9 minutes ago)

 Hello Maya's teachers,
 Maya will be drastically reducing the amount of homework she does this year. She's been very stressed and is starting to have
 physical symptoms such as chest pain and waking up at 4AM worrying about her school workload.
 She's not behind academically and very much enjoys school. We've consulted with a tutor and a therapist suggested we lighten
 her workload. Doing 2-3 hours of homework after getting home at 4:30 is leaving little time for her to just be a child and enjoy
 family time and we'd like to avoid her sinking into a depression over this.
 Thank you for understanding.
 warmly, Bunmi

Mom declares her daughter is done with homework in viral email.

A++++ parenting 💜

I’ve talked with a whole cadre of child therapists and psychiatrists about this very issue. There is little conclusive evidence that homework significantly improves elementary school children’s grades, understanding of subjects, or facility with various operations, processes, etc. However, plenty of evidence suggests that ever-increasing amounts of homework for young children lead to stress, anxiety, emotional fatigue, resistance toward academics in general, lack of leisure time to build social/interpersonal skills, and poorer family relations.  (My kids were doing about 3 hours a week IN KINDERGARTEN, at age 5 – so that’s ½ hour every night, after a 6.5 hour school day, or else saving it up for long slogs over the weekend, even more disruptive. And that wasn’t including reading practice!) 


We have stopped doing homework altogether with my 7 year old as a result of severe anxiety/depression and a learning disability. She had gotten to a place where she had so little self confidence and truly believed that she was stupid and worthless, not just because of homework of course – but every time we tried to sit down to do homework with her, it’d end in tears with her really vehemently berating herself, and no amount of encouragement could ameliorate the damage done. Now, granted, she’s got other things going on besides just an overload of school work. But in NO WAY did the homework help her, either academically or emotionally. 
No little kid should have to spend an hour or more each night getting through homework. Now, my deal with Siena is that if she wants to give her homework a shot, I will absolutely help her if she wishes for help, but I no longer force her to complete all of it or to work on it for some set length of time before finally throwing in the towel. 
Guess what? With the pressure taken off, she’s actually doing MORE independent work now, purely out of the desire to learn and practice, than she ever was before we’d decided with her therapy team and school that homework was just not a thing this kid could handle.
Luckily for my older daughter my school’s 3rd-grade team decided to hand out homework only 3x/week, and the sheets take no more than 15-20 minutes to complete. That is totally reasonable for 8-9 year olds! 
Anyway tl;dr just because the school system may require it sure as shit doesn’t mean parents can’t, or shouldn’t, fight it. Do what’s right for your kid, and above all, let them be kids. 

I eventually stopped doing homework because I was overwhelmed by it.

There was an article just the other day in the local paper about a primary school that’s abolishing homework! You can read it here (autoplay video, gives you a few seconds to stop it).


Homework is intrusive in a young child’s life. It makes sense for adults who will likely have to bring work home with them so in college it’s good training. But for young kids. No.

Seriously I’m 100% on board with this. There are high school students expected to do three or four hours and beyond worth of homework every day. It’s fucking ridiculous. And I work in elementary school where we literally have little kids develop anxiety disorder and have panic attacks over homework and testing. This shit is not normal.

1.
 Travel often. Designate one weekend a month to get yourself out of the 
city, out of the country or at the least, out the front door of your 
apartment. Let the ever-changing scenery of your life keep you inspired,
 invigorated and consistently reminded that there’s so much more to the 
world than your everyday routine. 2. Make room for surprises. 
Instead of trying to control every last aspect of your life, give your 
life the chance to surprise you from time to time. Say yes to the date 
you would usually reject or the party you’re not sure if you should go 
to. Sometimes the things we’re most unsure of end up being the things 
we’re most grateful to have done – but you’ll never know unless you give
 it a shot. 3. Learn to receive love. Accept help from friends 
when they offer it. Accept compliments when they’re directed at you. Let
 yourself be loved in the tiny ways you don’t always allow yourself to 
be, and watch how much easier it becomes to accept your own love, too.
 4. Practice gratitude. Every time a negative thought crosses your mind,
 deliberately counter-act it with a positive one. Life isn’t all 
sunshine and roses, but it is a lot more positive than we tend to give 
it credit for. Capitalize on that on the days when your mood needs a 
boost. 5. Speak to one new person every day. The world is full of
 incredible people – in bookstores, coffee shops, on buses and on 
sidewalks. Take an extra two minutes out of each day to learn your 
barista’s name or tell the bus driver that you appreciate them. You’ll 
be surprised at how many incredible people are already in your vicinity.
 6. Dedicate time to self-improvement. Set aside an hour or two a week 
to chart out personal goals, projects and affirmations. Become your own 
life coach and make self-improvement the priority that it deserves to 
be. 7. Practice forgiveness. Let past grudges fall by the wayside
 and allow peoples presents to overcome their pasts. You don’t have to 
welcome them back into your life, but you do deserve to welcome peace 
back into yours. And forgiveness is an integral part of doing just that.
 8. Leave the past behind. Give yourself active permission to let go of 
the mistakes you’ve made, the paths you shouldn’t have walked down and 
all the ways in which your past has let you down. To move forward you 
have to face forward – so give yourself permission to do so. 9. 
Get moving. Pick a sport, a class or an exercise regime that works for 
your body and then practice it as often as possible. Life just looks 
better through the lens of endorphins – and exercising regularly is a 
proven method of enhancing your mood and wellbeing. 10. Train 
yourself to see the best in people. Loving and appreciating others is a 
habit, just like anything else. Instead of immediately writing people 
off for their shortcomings, try pinpointing their best qualities and 
focusing only on those. It lightens your mood and frees up that part of 
your brain that is usually reserved for bitterness and judgment. 
11. Search for opportunities everywhere. Keep your eyes peeled for the 
classes you’ve always wanted to take, the career move you’ve always 
wanted to make and the little risks you could be taking every day to get
 you closer to where you want to be. The world is ripe with new 
opportunities and chances. It’s up to you whether or not you’re going to
 take them. 12. Surround yourself with positive people. As Jim 
Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the 
most time with.” So take a look at who those people are – do they 
inspire you to be a bigger, brighter, more positive version of yourself?
 If not, it may be time to re-evaluate your friend group. 13. 
Make positive plans for the future. Instead of focusing on what could go
 wrong in the next couple of years, try taking a long look at what could
 go right. Plan your life as though all of your wildest dreams could and
 might come true – you’ll be surprised at the effect this mindset has.
 14. Dress for success. Our outer appearance dictates almost nothing 
about what kind of people we are – but it can influence the way we feel.
 When we present ourselves in a way that makes us feel confident, that 
confidence shines through in everything we do. 15. Listen to the 
right kind of music. Music has a massive effect on our mood. And we can 
use that to our advantage. By coordinating the music you’re listening to
 the mood you’d like to be in, you can train your brain to engage in 
positive (or mellow) vibes as needed. 16. Make friends with your 
body. Instead of hating and punishing your body, try loving it. Try 
listening to it. Try feeding it, exercising it, resting it and nurturing
 it in a way that makes you feel at home inside of it. And then love and
 appreciate it for all the incredible things it is capable of. 
17. Seek out mentors. We all need people to look up to. By choosing to 
surround yourself with those who are doing well in the fields that 
interest you, you are setting yourself up for success. Allow yourself to
 be encouraged, inspired and mentored by people much bigger than 
yourself. 18. Be receptive to change. Instead of agonizing over 
the way things used to be, start picking out what’s positive about the 
way things are. Change is never easy, but more often than not, it is our
 own mental resistance to it that makes it so damn hard. 19. Let 
laughter be a priority. We’re fine prioritizing work, school, the gym 
and other constructive activities – but we’re not as comfortable 
prioritizing the activities that bring us true joy. Like sharing a glass
 of wine and a night of ridiculous jokes with the people we love most. 
Consider carving out time for laughter because it turns out it really is
 the best medicine. 20. Start looking at health holistically. 
Health isn’t just about eating your veggies and going for regular runs 
(though it’s also about that) – true health means that you’re taking 
care of yourself physically, emotionally and psychologically. Failing to
 make time for self-care means failing to make time for your overall 
sense of wellbeing. 21. Commit to an ongoing education. Learning 
shouldn’t stop when we graduate high school or college. By actively 
seeking out methods of growing your knowledge base, you’re actively 
seeking out ways of improving your life. And education doesn’t need to 
be formal – chances are, everyone you know has something to teach you. 
It’s just a matter of allowing them to do so. 22. Master the art of active listening. You have more to learn from others than you think you do.
 23. Let yourself dream without restraint. Your life may never fully 
match up with your wildest fantasies – but allowing yourself to engage 
in them nonetheless can help you realize what you really want in life, 
and what you ought to be working toward. 24. Choose optimism over
 cynicism. As much as self-proclaimed “realists” loathe to admit it, 
optimists have more fun. And by making slightly more positive choices in
 their everyday lives, they attract more positive results. 25. 
Prioritize people. As much as we’d all like to believe otherwise, we 
need other people in our lives. When we neglect our social lives, we 
neglect some of the best opportunities we have available for ongoing 
learning and growth. By making other people a priority, we make the 
continuous expansion of our worldview a priority, too. 26. Stop 
shying away from hard work. In the world of quick fixes and overnight 
fame, hard work is an underrated skill. The more we persevere at the 
things that matter to us, the more our confidence grows alongside our 
skill set. And that in itself is reason enough to start taking our work 
ethic more seriously. 27. Minimize your need for instant 
gratification. In a world that maximizes instant gratification, learn to
 occasionally forgo your impulses in favour of focusing on what you want
 in the long-run. The more you realize how dependent you are on digital 
forms of validation and gratification, the more capable you become of 
unplugging and focusing on what matters. 28. Spend more time in 
nature. There’s no two ways about it – our minds need to interact with 
nature in order to function optimally. Taking a half hour walk outdoors 
may just be the antidote you need for reducing anxiety levels, 
increasing your quality of sleep and boosting your mood. At worst, it’s a
 nice way to spend your lunch break. 29. Minimize your 
belongings. Minimalism is trendy – and with good reason. The less we 
own, the less we realize we need in order to get by. It’s an empowering 
concept – and one that eases the pressure on our wallets while it’s at 
it. 30. Give your time away. By devoting our time and energy to a
 cause much bigger than ourselves, we ironically realize what a huge 
impact we can have on the world when we aren’t just focused on our own 
self-interest. Sometimes the first step to improving yourself is 
forgetting all about yourself. 31. Allow yourself a creative 
outlet. Even if you’re completely lacking in artistic talent, having a 
creative outlet of any sort can be highly therapeutic. You don’t need to
 be Picasso or Hemingway right away – you can indulge in self-expression
 for your own sake and let the talent build with time. 32. Share 
some positive energy. The best way to intensify a good mood is to share 
it. Go out of your way to compliment a friend, buy a coffee for the 
person behind you in line or tell someone exactly why you love them. 
It’s almost impossible to make someone else’s day and not have your own 
made as a result. 33. Be a little more open every day. Life 
drags. It stagnates. It slumps. But more often than not, the reason it 
does all of that is because we have closed ourselves off to it. When we 
commit to saying ‘Yes’ a little more often with every passing day, we 
commit to opening our lives back up to possibility. And we may just end 
up falling in love with wherever those possibilities take us. By Heidi Priebe Artwork by nattskiftetSource

 The fact that we can't escape
 genetically modified foods in this
 day and age unless you have
 money is insane.They are feeding
 us chemicals.

When you broke but you woke

Wait… Guys what?
Is this what you guys think it means when GMO comes up in conversation? 
Do you know what else is a GMO? 
Dogs. Literally ALL dogs have had their genetics modified to make them more docile, loyal, trusting, energetic, obedient ect. 
Ears of corn used to be the size of your thumb. Through selective ‘breeding’ we chose the strains of corn that were the biggest, fastest growing, most resilient ect. Ect. 
THAT is a GMO. I don’t know where the idea that genetic modification meant they’re injecting your food stuffs with chemicals to change its DNA. That’s not how it works. 
However, they ARE spraying your veggies with pesticides and that is something you should be worried about. 
Companies like Monsanto are evil. But not because they are breeding crops to feed more people. But because they’re monopolizing the farming market, sueing farmers who share a geographic area and have some of the same strains of crops in their fields because of unavoidable cross pollination and lying about their business practices.


This is Normal Borlaug. In 1942 he received his Ph. D in plant pathology and genetics. In Mexico, he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, disease resistant varieties of wheat. A genetically modified food. He introduced these to Mexico, Pakistan and India, resulting in double the wheat yields in a 5 year span. In 1970, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, for saving one billion lives from starvation, and contributing to world peace through increasing the world food supply.
Genetically modified food is great.

This, a thousand fucking times this. Privilege is spouting and spreading pseudo-science bullshit you saw on your Facebook feed or on Twitter because unlike people in drought and famine prone areas of the world, you have the option to do just that. Those other parts of the world that don’t have the benefit of a food surplus and can’t pick and choose what they eat depend on GMOs to not die of starvation or watch their children waste away.I despise Monsanto as much as the next person and if they ever go out of business, I’ll be the first to dance a jig, but condemning GMOs just because one megacorp is a pile of shitbags is beyond idiotic. If scientists can create new strains of seeds that can withstand disease, pests, all while yielding more foodstuff, then we should be throwing our support behind them.

Also, “They are feeding us chemicals!” is a fundamentally ridiculous statement. 
Why? 
As a chemist, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: 
Everything is chemicals.
