Someone told Jeremy shada about altean Lance and he was so mind blown and when tom Hendricks went to sort of rebuff it he cut him off and said “no let me have this”
On some real shit, I do not fuck with people who ride those boat things at the carnival. People who get on those do not give a fuck about life, they don’t care about you, ya mama or your kids. They literally have nothing to lose. You don’t care about life so there’s no need for me to fight you because you’re not going to give a damn about my face.
THIS JOINT!!!!
BITCHHHHHHH. I got on this shit when I was 12. Wasn’t no bar, no protection, nothing in that shit. I didn’t realize until it was too late. You couldn’t pay me to ever get on this shit ever again in my life. We were in Landover, this shit almost smooth flipped my ass to Baltimore. No. Never again.
12? I got on this bitch when I was 21 and had my head in my ex’s shoulder the ENTIRE time. Screaming like a bih too. Nope. Never again. I was praying to the gravity gods the entire time.
?????? All it does is swing back and forth???? I don’t understand the concern??????
centrifugal force keeps you in your seat.
Centrifugal force isn’t keeping me from crying tho
Tumblr: #this fucking donut #can we talk about this fucking donut for a minute #can we #because on this donut #the sprinkles just comfortably melt into the icing #you can tell that they are so perfectly in tune with each other #and they’ve come so far from when the sprinkles just sort of sat on top #barely touching for fear of rejection #just ugh I can’t #otp: comfortably melting
4chan: here’s a picture of someone putting their dick in a donut.
reddit: that donut needs to go back into the kitchen and make me a sandwich.
academia.edu: Here is a pdf of the seminar paper I wrote about the erotics/poetics/semiotics/science of donut eating.
deviantArt:I did not steal this donut. I traced it so now it’s mine.
It got better
Fanfic.net: The donut is the setting for a high school AU, were two sprinkles meet and realise they have more in common than they ever thought possible, however, the mean chocolate sauce has caught wind of their secret relationship. Will they be able to make it together before it’s too late? M for a lemon flavoured donut.
This has officially become one of my favorite posts.
I JUST REBLOGGED BUT FANFIC MADE IT PERFECT

Before I describe the different components involved in a vaccine, I want to address the so-called “bias” when it comes to the vaccine debate. The thing is, there is no “bias” from the medical side. There are facts that are back up by multiple studies, and then there are opinions that are based on fraudulent research done by a physician who has since lost his license.
And then there’s Jenny McCarthy, but we aren’t here to discuss people who offer their opinion on science when they probably don’t even know the difference between a virus and a bacteria.
So what is in a vaccine?
It really depends on the type of vaccine you’re talking about. The antigenic component varies based on whatever disease you’re trying to prevent. I’ll go into that further in a second, but I first want to focus on the “scary stuff” most people are worried about.
Thimerosal
Thimerosal is a preservative used to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. You know, critters that if injected into your child that would probably cause septicemia. People get freaked out about thimerosal because it contains mercury. The funny thing is, thimerosal is only used in the flu vaccine. It has never been used in the MMR vaccine. It has also never been linked to any toxicity based on multiple studies.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is used to inactivate viruses and detoxify bacterial toxins (like those in the tetanus vaccine.) A purification process is used to remove almost all formaldehyde in vaccines, although a very small amount will still remain. The amount of formaldehyde in vaccines is less than 200 parts per million (.02%) and several hundred times lower than the amount known to harm humans, even infants.
Antibiotics
Sometimes very small amounts of antibiotic are added to a vaccine (ex. neomycin MMR) to prevent any bacterial growth in the vaccine. If a person is allergic to neomycin, they may end up having an allergic reaction. This is actually a significant (albeit rare) effect that needs to be monitored for.
Adjuvants
Adjuvants are added to vaccines to help increase the immune response to the antigen. None are known to be harmful.
And lastly, there are the antigens of whatever disease you’re trying to prevent. So if you’re trying to prevent the flu, the vaccine will contain a killed influenza virus.
I want to end this long post by talking about a few diseases your son would be vaccinated against if you choose to vaccinate. I want you to make an informed decision on your own rather by ridiculing anyone for their misguided opinions on vaccine safety. Vaccines are, quite literally, the most significant medical advancement in all of human history, and I will show this by talking about the various diseases they prevent. I’m not going to discuss all of them because as I started doing this I realized it was going to take a long time to discuss every disease (and I have boards to study for), but I’ll try to highlight the important ones.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B, while usually not as big of a concern if you get it as an adult, is extremely detrimental to children. Adults usually clear the illness without any lasting effects. However, children (90% to be specific) are unable to clear the infection and ultimately develop chronic hepatitis. Chronic hepatitis leads to liver cirrhosis, cancer, and death. About 2000 people die a year due to hepatitis B related liver disease in the United States. This has been in steep decline since we began vaccinating for hepatitis B, as seen from this graph.
MMR
This is the biggie that everyone thinks causes autism even though there is literally no link shown between vaccines and autism. You can google this and find thousands of articles showing no link while there are maybe three that show there is some sort of link. But that’s the thing about research. Just because research says something does NOT mean it is true. Not all research is good research. Some research uses small sample sizes (cough cough Wakefield.) Or the research has a bias and a desired result. There are many things that contribute to what constitutes “bad research” which is why I think everyone should be required to take an epidemiology course at some point in their life, but I digress. Let’s talk about measles and rubella specifically.
Measles is a funny one to me because everyone thinks it’s “just a rash.” This shows the ignorance of many people who really know nothing about the disease they are speaking of. Measles causes 130,000 deaths around the world annually. Measles vaccination resulted in a 79% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2015 worldwide. However, as more and more people stop vaccinating, we start to lose herd immunity. Measles is a biggie for herd immunity because it is so incredibly contagious. For context, Ebola generally infects 2-3 people that have been in contact with a diseased individual. Measles infects 12-18 people who have been in contact with an infected individual. An outbreak of measles is extremely difficult to control.
Rubella does not generally cause as severe of disease in children. However, the problem with rubella is what it can do to a fetus. Congenital rubella syndrome (caused when a pregnant mother contracts the disease) can result in microcephaly, congenital cataracts, deafness, and heart defects. Since we have started vaccinating, the cases of congenital rubella have basically been eradicated from the US (see figure below.) CRS= Congenital Rubella Syndrome
I have included multiple links throughout this if you want to click to learn more, and I’ve provided more sources below:
I really think hospitals and doctors that work with pregnancy and pediatricians need to make more literature available for how to, ya know, work with kids? Because the more conversations we have about spanking (and how it’s ineffective and harmful and does more bad than good), the more I realize that a lot of people don’t know the alternatives. Or like, anything about child development or where misbehavior stems from.
So, as someone who went through childhood development classes in college, works with kids for a living, and knows multiple people who specialized in childhood education, here are some pointers when you are working with kids:
1. Model emotional response for kids. Children are learning how to recognize and respond to their own emotions. All the way up through high school, children’s brains are still developing, and the emotions they are learning to process become more complex. So with really young kids, the easiest way to help them with this is to model emotional self awareness and self care.
“Oh wow, mommy is feeling angry because the cat made a mess. I’m going to clean this mess and then go sit in my room in the quiet for a short break so I feel better.”
“You know, I am feeling very sad about not going to the park because it is raining. I bet some hot chocolate and a book would make me feel better.”
”Huh, I’m feeling kind of cranky and hungry, but daddy won’t be home for dinner for another hour. I bet I’ll feel better if I eat a little piece apple while we wait.”
2. Understand what causes child frustration and work to preempt it.
-Transitions (from one activity to another, getting in the car, etc) can be stressful, especially if the activity or location they are leaving is fun. Give kids a warning when this is going to happen. With young kids, give them about 5-15 minutes of warning (”10 minutes until we are going to leave the park and go home. Do your last thing.”), with older kids, just give them a time frame. (We are can play at McDonalds for 30 minutes, but then we have to go grocery shopping, ok?)
Not being able to communicate what they want to is frustrating. Babies can learn simplified baby sign language months before they are verbal. Kids may not know the words for what they are trying to say. Be patient and help them find the right words. On a similar note, don’t ignore kids. If you really can’t respond to their question right away because of something else, at least tell the “Yes, I heard your question. I’ll answer you as soon as I’m done talking on the phone.”
Not being able to make choices or having too much choice can be overwhelming. Give kids a limited, reasonable selection of choices. “Do you want apple slices or juicy pears on the side for lunch?” is much better than “What do you want with your sandwich?” or just giving them apple slices. “Do you want to give grandpa a hug or a high five?” is better than demanding they hug grandpa right away.
3. Understand that kids are people to. They will get hungry, tired, an annoyed just like adults do. Sometimes you have to be flexible and give them time to self care. Talk to them, explain things to them, let them be people and not just dolls. “Because I said so” is really unhelpful for a growing kid. “We can’t buy Fruit Loops today because we are already getting Frosted Flakes. We only need one cereal at a time.” is going to do you a lot more favors. “Don’t pick up the glass snow globe. It belongs to grandma and can break easy. She would be sad if we broke it on accident.” is better than “don’t touch that.”
And look, no parent is perfect. No baby sitter, no teacher, no care taker is going to be awesome all the time. And no kid is going to be perfect. They will cry and have tantrums, and not be able to tell you what they need, and be stubborn sometimes. Sometimes they need space, or quiet time. Sometimes they need attention and validation.
But kids learn from every interaction they have, so adults who yell and hit and insult children when they misbehave raise kids who yell and hit and insult others when they feel like they’ve been wronged.
This really sounds great! Learning to be flexible, especially early on, is very important in my opinion
My sister just had her son and I need to be a good aunt for him. These are good tips and I appreciate the examples.
