 "you can't just give people homes for

 actually you can and it turns out to be a
 cheaper alternative for cities and
 communities than having a homeless
 population

who would have thought that the solution to homelessness is providing people with housing?Ā šŸ§
The solution isnā€™t 100% perfect, thereā€™s a lot of people who arenā€™t technically homeless because they live with other people for free etc. but yeah this does majorly help reduce risks for vulnerable people.

Hereā€™s the big thing about it that might scandalize Americans even more so than the idea of free housing: you donā€™t have to do anything toĀ ā€œdeserve it.ā€ Most countries use whatā€™s calledĀ ā€œthe staircase modelā€ ā€“ you start by being in shelter, then maybe a halfway house, then permanent housing. You canĀ ā€œmove upā€ by going through rehab or getting a job or accessing other services. The idea is that housing is something you get as a reward for good behavior, not something you get by right.
But with the housing first model, you get the house first, and thenĀ deal with everything else. Itā€™s a lot easier to stop using drugs and alcohol when you have other ways to pass the time and arenā€™t under constant stress. Itā€™s a lot easier to get a job when you have an address to put on your applications. Itā€™s a lot easier to treat mental illness when youā€™re in a safe place that doesnā€™t add to your fear and pain. But if your mentality is that housing is something only the morally pure and socially acceptable deserve, and the only way to get it is for people to jump through hoops to prove their goodness, then of course youā€™re going to hate this model.

 Today we learned about Lyme disease
 and it's classic symptom: a bullseye rash
 (erythema migrans) formed around the
 area of a tick bite.
 A classmate of mine asked, "How is this
 diagnosed for those with darker skin?"
 Our professor struggled to give him a
 clear answer. 1/5

 This left me with the following thoughts:
 1. If stage 1 Lyme disease is taught to be
 recognized as a rash on white skin, how are we
 supposed to diagnose Lyme disease in our darker
 skinned patients? Does this mean Lyme disease
 will progress to later stages in these patients? 4/5

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how ā€œsmoothā€ sharks really are. 


Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because itā€™s so smooth.

But buddy.


Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the sharkĀ swims. ā€¦ In the opposite direction, it feels very rough likeĀ sandpaper.

ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached theĀ ā€œin case a nuclear attack happensā€ phaseā€¦ā€¦. [x]

This shit is wild.


Wtf a table finna do for anybody?? Thereā€™s basically nothing you can do but die

theyā€™re doing this to give people a sense of safety , even though we full well know this wonā€™t work at all.

ALRIGHT KIDDOS LISTEN UP! I did emergency management for the air force which involves this fun thing called Plume Modelling (aka chart the path of death for a given bomb based on its payload, distance, type of detonation, etc) and let me tell you some actual LEGITā„¢ methods of minimizing damage to your life. 
Unless you are within the vaporization zone (where you turn into a fucking shadow because of your proximity to the blast) there is a specific order of events nuke blasts cause and there are ways to protect against these things.

1. There is this thing called a flash to bang ratio. It is really freaking important. The first wave from a nuke is a blinding flash of light that can literally FRY YOUR RETINAS. If you believe that a nuke has just dropped on your city, HIDE AND DONT LOOK AT IT. @shesheistyy a good solid table is good for this but youā€™re way less likely to go blind if you get to an internal room with no windows, especially one below ground. 
2. After the flash there will be the bang. If the time between the flash and the bang, counted in Mississippi seconds, is more than 10 seconds you MIGHT survive and just die of cancer later. If itā€™s between five and 10 buckle up kiddos because the worst is yet to come. And well if itā€™s less than 3 you wonā€™t live long enough to remember this. These are loose estimates only. 
3. The ā€œbangā€ usually announces the arrival of the fire ball. Yes. A massive heat shock will erupt from the core of the bomb and light pretty much every thing it comes into contact with, including your flesh, on fire. Back to that whole ā€œmetal buildings undergroundā€ thing. Thereā€™s really no getting around the whole getting lit on fire if youā€™re too close thing. 
4. Fallout. When the bomb goes off it sucks all of the shit it just vaporized up into the air with it and as the blast cools, it begins to rain down the radioactive fucked molten wreckage onto everyone in a huge radius. Just because the fallout you can see has stopped doesnā€™t mean the molecular radiation has stopped. 

The survival factors for nuclear blasts are time, distance and shielding. The longer it takes for it to get to you the less of it there is. The further away from the source the less dead you are. Want to survive? Put 6 feet of concrete and/or 2 feet of lead between you and everything else. Yes. Those loons with their bunkers actually got something right. 

NOW! About radiation! If you are so fortunate as to survive one of these blasts and not be vaporized or burnt to a crisp or die of radiation poisoning within hours, you need to understand the types of radiation. 

Gamma radiation is the most ā€œsevereā€ in that it can penetrate your flesh through your clothes and house, causing severe illness. Gamma radiation fucks with your cell walls and disrupts your DNA. It kills you in hours, months or years. Some people survive decades. Think of gamma like the sun. Too much exposure gives you cancer. 

Now Beta, on the other hand, think of Beta particles like sand on the beach. Its in the air. Its in your clothes, in the creases of your fingers. But beta particles can burn through your flesh or get into your blood stream through open wounds. Luckily they can be stopped with nonporous materials, like rubber, or foil. Make that two points for the loony conspiracy theorists. Aluminum foil does protect from beta radiation. 

And finally, Alpha radiation. Think of alpha Radiation like dust motes. It takes a high density filter to prevent you from breathing them in and if youā€™re surrounded by rubble theyā€™re probably everywhere. Alpha particles do the same thing as beta particles in terms of getting into your system and wrecking your shit. 

So! Survival? Most likely based on dumb luck. But! If you think youā€™re being nuked
1. get under ground or at least to an internal room of the building if no other options are available. 
2. CLOSE YOUR EYES. Curl into the fetal position to protect your orifices and vital organs from gamma radiation and get low to the ground to reduce damage from the blast and potential ceiling collapse. 
3.You will still feel the flash pass over you. Count. One, two, threeā€¦ If you arenā€™t vaporized yet keep counting. Pray to every god ever imagined that you get to 10 before you hear the bang. 
4. Bang. Try not to shit yourself. The fireball will follow almost instantly if youā€™re in range. Be prepared to start rolling to put yourself out. 
5. Fallout rains down. Do not open your eyes. Do not stop praying. As hard as it is because time will feel as if it has slowed to a crawl, try not to leave your position for at least 30 minutes, although 60 minutes is better. At 30 minutes, only 60% of the potential fall out has fallen but by 60 minutes, up to 90% may have come down. 
6. Remember, Alpha and beta radiation are particles. Do not put anything in your body that has not been thoroughly washed, dusted of or came from a sealed package. Point 3 for the conspiracy theorists, hot pockets and canned food are probably still safe. Do not leave shelter without goggles, and try to wrap yourself in a minimum of those weird space blankets but rubber and metal lined suits (like hazmat suits) are best for the job. 

Good luck in the future apocalypse!

Likeā€¦ Manhattan might be toast but that doesnā€™t mean the citizens of Long Island shouldnā€™t know how to mitigate their terrible fuckin situation just because Manhattan is toast.
If downtown Chicago is at the center of a nuclear bombing when Iā€™m at work Iā€™m dead, but if Iā€™m home I have a chance to shelter in place and then bag up the cats and go crash with friends in Wisconsin.

ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached theĀ ā€œin case a nuclear attack happensā€ phaseā€¦ā€¦. [x]

This shit is wild.


Wtf a table finna do for anybody?? Thereā€™s basically nothing you can do but die

theyā€™re doing this to give people a sense of safety , even though we full well know this wonā€™t work at all.

ALRIGHT KIDDOS LISTEN UP! I did emergency management for the air force which involves this fun thing called Plume Modelling (aka chart the path of death for a given bomb based on its payload, distance, type of detonation, etc) and let me tell you some actual LEGITā„¢ methods of minimizing damage to your life. 
Unless you are within the vaporization zone (where you turn into a fucking shadow because of your proximity to the blast) there is a specific order of events nuke blasts cause and there are ways to protect against these things.

1. There is this thing called a flash to bang ratio. It is really freaking important. The first wave from a nuke is a blinding flash of light that can literally FRY YOUR RETINAS. If you believe that a nuke has just dropped on your city, HIDE AND DONT LOOK AT IT. @shesheistyy a good solid table is good for this but youā€™re way less likely to go blind if you get to an internal room with no windows, especially one below ground. 
2. After the flash there will be the bang. If the time between the flash and the bang, counted in Mississippi seconds, is more than 10 seconds you MIGHT survive and just die of cancer later. If itā€™s between five and 10 buckle up kiddos because the worst is yet to come. And well if itā€™s less than 3 you wonā€™t live long enough to remember this. These are loose estimates only. 
3. The ā€œbangā€ usually announces the arrival of the fire ball. Yes. A massive heat shock will erupt from the core of the bomb and light pretty much every thing it comes into contact with, including your flesh, on fire. Back to that whole ā€œmetal buildings undergroundā€ thing. Thereā€™s really no getting around the whole getting lit on fire if youā€™re too close thing. 
4. Fallout. When the bomb goes off it sucks all of the shit it just vaporized up into the air with it and as the blast cools, it begins to rain down the radioactive fucked molten wreckage onto everyone in a huge radius. Just because the fallout you can see has stopped doesnā€™t mean the molecular radiation has stopped. 

The survival factors for nuclear blasts are time, distance and shielding. The longer it takes for it to get to you the less of it there is. The further away from the source the less dead you are. Want to survive? Put 6 feet of concrete and/or 2 feet of lead between you and everything else. Yes. Those loons with their bunkers actually got something right. 

NOW! About radiation! If you are so fortunate as to survive one of these blasts and not be vaporized or burnt to a crisp or die of radiation poisoning within hours, you need to understand the types of radiation. 

Gamma radiation is the most ā€œsevereā€ in that it can penetrate your flesh through your clothes and house, causing severe illness. Gamma radiation fucks with your cell walls and disrupts your DNA. It kills you in hours, months or years. Some people survive decades. Think of gamma like the sun. Too much exposure gives you cancer. 

Now Beta, on the other hand, think of Beta particles like sand on the beach. Its in the air. Its in your clothes, in the creases of your fingers. But beta particles can burn through your flesh or get into your blood stream through open wounds. Luckily they can be stopped with nonporous materials, like rubber, or foil. Make that two points for the loony conspiracy theorists. Aluminum foil does protect from beta radiation. 

And finally, Alpha radiation. Think of alpha Radiation like dust motes. It takes a high density filter to prevent you from breathing them in and if youā€™re surrounded by rubble theyā€™re probably everywhere. Alpha particles do the same thing as beta particles in terms of getting into your system and wrecking your shit. 

So! Survival? Most likely based on dumb luck. But! If you think youā€™re being nuked
1. get under ground or at least to an internal room of the building if no other options are available. 
2. CLOSE YOUR EYES. Curl into the fetal position to protect your orifices and vital organs from gamma radiation and get low to the ground to reduce damage from the blast and potential ceiling collapse. 
3.You will still feel the flash pass over you. Count. One, two, threeā€¦ If you arenā€™t vaporized yet keep counting. Pray to every god ever imagined that you get to 10 before you hear the bang. 
4. Bang. Try not to shit yourself. The fireball will follow almost instantly if youā€™re in range. Be prepared to start rolling to put yourself out. 
5. Fallout rains down. Do not open your eyes. Do not stop praying. As hard as it is because time will feel as if it has slowed to a crawl, try not to leave your position for at least 30 minutes, although 60 minutes is better. At 30 minutes, only 60% of the potential fall out has fallen but by 60 minutes, up to 90% may have come down. 
6. Remember, Alpha and beta radiation are particles. Do not put anything in your body that has not been thoroughly washed, dusted of or came from a sealed package. Point 3 for the conspiracy theorists, hot pockets and canned food are probably still safe. Do not leave shelter without goggles, and try to wrap yourself in a minimum of those weird space blankets but rubber and metal lined suits (like hazmat suits) are best for the job. 

Good luck in the future apocalypse!

        Being Alone, America, and Blackpeopletwitter: Barack Obama
 @BarackObama
 Michelle and I grieve with all the families in El Paso and Dayton who endured these latest
 mass shootings. Even if details are still emerging, there are a few things we already know
 to be true.
 First, no other nation on Earth comes close to experiencing the frequency of mass
 shootings that we see in the United States. No other developed nation tolerates the
 levels of gun violence that we do. Every time this happens, we're told that tougher gun
 laws won't stop all murders; that they won't stop every deranged individual from getting
 a weapon and shooting innocent people in public places. But the evidence shows that
 they can stop some killings. They can save some families from heartbreak. We are not
 helpless here. And until all of us stand up and insist on holding public officials
 accountable for changing our gun laws, these tragedies will keep happening
 Second, while the motivations behind these shootings may not yet be fully known, there
 are indications that the El Paso shooting follows a dangerous trend: troubled individuals
 who embrace racist ideologies and see themselves obligated to act violently to preserve
 white supremacy. Like the followers of ISIS and other foreign terrorist organizations,
 these individuals may act alone, but they've been radicalized by white nationalist
 websites that proliferate on the internet. That means that both law enforcement
 agencies and internet platforms need to come up with better strategies to reduce the
 influence of these hate groups.
 But just as important, all of us have to send a clarion call and behave with the values of
 tolerance and diversity that should be the hallmark of our democracy. We should soundly
 reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of
 fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don't
 look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life,
 or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain
 type of people. Such language isn't new it's been at the root of most human tragedy
 throughout history, here in America and around the world. It is at the root of slavery and
 Jim Crow, the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. It
 has no place in our politics and our public life. And it's time for the overwhelming
 majority of Americans of goodwill, of every race and faith and political party, to say as
 much clearly and unequivocally.

 agencies and internet platforms need to come up with better strategies to reduce the
 influence of these hate groups.
 But just as important, all of us have to send a clarion call and behave with the values of
 tolerance and diversity that should be the hallmark of our democracy. We should soundly
 reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of
 fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don't
 look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life,
 or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain
 type of people. Such language isn't new it's been at the root of most human tragedy
 throughout history, here in America and around the world. It is at the root of slavery and
 Jim Crow, the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. It
 has no place in our politics and our public life. And it's time for the overwhelming
 majority of Americans of goodwill, of every race and faith and political party, to say as
 much clearly and unequivocally.

                    Being Alone, America, and Dank: Barack Obama
 @BarackObama
 Michelle and I grieve with all the families in El Paso and Dayton who endured these latest
 mass shootings. Even if details are still emerging, there are a few things we already know
 to be true.
 First, no other nation on Earth comes close to experiencing the frequency of mass
 shootings that we see in the United States. No other developed nation tolerates the
 levels of gun violence that we do. Every time this happens, we're told that tougher gun
 laws won't stop all murders; that they won't stop every deranged individual from getting
 a weapon and shooting innocent people in public places. But the evidence shows that
 they can stop some killings. They can save some families from heartbreak. We are not
 helpless here. And until all of us stand up and insist on holding public officials
 accountable for changing our gun laws, these tragedies will keep happening
 Second, while the motivations behind these shootings may not yet be fully known, there
 are indications that the El Paso shooting follows a dangerous trend: troubled individuals
 who embrace racist ideologies and see themselves obligated to act violently to preserve
 white supremacy. Like the followers of ISIS and other foreign terrorist organizations,
 these individuals may act alone, but they've been radicalized by white nationalist
 websites that proliferate on the internet. That means that both law enforcement
 agencies and internet platforms need to come up with better strategies to reduce the
 influence of these hate groups.
 But just as important, all of us have to send a clarion call and behave with the values of
 tolerance and diversity that should be the hallmark of our democracy. We should soundly
 reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of
 fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don't
 look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life,
 or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain
 type of people. Such language isn't new it's been at the root of most human tragedy
 throughout history, here in America and around the world. It is at the root of slavery and
 Jim Crow, the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. It

who would have thought that the solution to homelessness is providing people with housing?Ā šŸ§
The solution isnā€™t 100% perfect, thereā€™s a lot of people who arenā€™t technically homeless because they live with other people for free etc. but yeah this does majorly help reduce risks for vulnerable people.

Hereā€™s the big thing about it that might scandalize Americans even more so than the idea of free housing: you donā€™t have to do anything toĀ ā€œdeserve it.ā€ Most countries use whatā€™s calledĀ ā€œthe staircase modelā€ ā€“ you start by being in shelter, then maybe a halfway house, then permanent housing. You canĀ ā€œmove upā€ by going through rehab or getting a job or accessing other services. The idea is that housing is something you get as a reward for good behavior, not something you get by right.But with the housing first model, you get the house first, and thenĀ deal with everything else. Itā€™s a lot easier to stop using drugs and alcohol when you have other ways to pass the time and arenā€™t under constant stress. Itā€™s a lot easier to get a job when you have an address to put on your applications. Itā€™s a lot easier to treat mental illness when youā€™re in a safe place that doesnā€™t add to your fear and pain. But if your mentality is that housing is something only the morally pure and socially acceptable deserve, and the only way to get it is for people to jump through hoops to prove their goodness, then of course youā€™re going to hate this model.

the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how ā€œsmoothā€ sharks really are. 


Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because itā€™s so smooth.

But buddy.


Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the sharkĀ swims. ā€¦ In the opposite direction, it feels very rough likeĀ sandpaper.

Buddy. Itā€™s smooth. The link you sent me led to a website that described how smooth they are. I dunno, maybe you donā€™t know how to read?
