shit tumblr joanna says
I'm 27, I'm a hair dresser, I went to college for Linguistics, Polish Studies, and African & African American Studies. I like books, anime, nail art, video games, food, & shoes. I bake a ton. I'm from the same city as Martha Stewart's grandparents. I'm a big fan of Groucho Marx. I am a mom now- I had a baby September 23, 2012. I had my second one on July 21st 2014. I'm not really down with anarchism and I'm extremely not down with monarchy. The URL is an extremely involved inside joke about contradictions. That is all.

THE HAMMER & THE FEATHER DROPPING AT THE SAME SPEED IN OUTER SPACE
The reason they fall at the same rate is because there is no air resistance in outer space.
When a feather falls on Earth, there are a million air particles “bumping” into it and slowing it’s descent. Similarly, air particles “bump” into a hammer, but it doesn’t slow down because it has such a big mass.
In outer space there is no air, so the two objects fall at the same rate.

It’s not okay for police to shoot protesters even if they aren’t peaceful. Property destruction is not punishable by death.
and police are not judges or executioners.

NRA talking head insists that “real Americans” don’t care about politics and are tired of hearing about how racist they are
His assertion that any American is not a real American is offensive. People born in New York are just as much real Americans as those born in the Rust Belt. And just because you’re a famous singer doesn’t mean you don’t love your country. Check out Whittle’s full statement here.

Uuuuuuuugh. This “real american” shit is out of hand. There are democrats and leftists out here is Alabama. There are gay people here in Alabama. There are poeple originally from the Middle East here in Alabama. There are people who don’t care about football because their lives are getting worse and worse thanks to trump here in Alabama. There is so much diversity in this country and people want to pretend theres one, boring, uniform, white, ~real~ America and the rest needs to be silenced.

Poverty Is Literally Making People Sick Because They Can’t Afford Food
Income inequality is making us sick.
Well, it’s not making all of us sick. Only the poorest of us. That’s what a new paper in Health Affairs by Hilary Seligman, Ann Bolger, David Guzman, Andrea López, and Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo found they looked at when people go to the hospital for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
The basic idea is that people struggling to make it paycheck-to-paycheck (or benefits-to-benefits) might run out of money at the end of the month—and have to cut back on food. If they have diabetes, this hunger could turn into an even more severe health problem: low blood sugar. So we should expect a surge of hypoglycemia cases at the end of each month for low-income people, but not for anybody else.

“In other words, poorer people don’t need more care at the end of the month for every kind of condition. Just the ones that get worse when you don’t have enough to eat.” [Emphasis added]
Poverty begets illness which begets medical bills which begets poverty. It’s a cycle, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

The people of Oaxaca are reporting that a police curfew has been put in place and that internet/cellphone signal and power are going to be cut off so no word gets out as to what is happening.
