me, also:
hey did you know that all pennies minted prior to 1982 are pure copper pennies and not copper plated and are technically actually worth 2 cents
I remember when I was little my dad hated me going in the basement and he knew I was deathly afraid of the pokemon hitmonlee so he ripped the hitmonlee page out of my pokedex book and pinned it to the corkboard at the bottom of the stairs and I didn’t go down there for three years I was so scared
Please donate directly through PayPal to Topos at:
donativos@brigada-rescate-topos.org
The Brigada de Rescate Topos Tlatelolco (known as ‘Los Topos’) are by FAR the most reliable organization to donate to. They’re an experienced non-profit volunteer group born out of the 1985 earthquake, saving hundreds of lives back then and right now! Their website is probably slow due to traffic, so PayPal is a direct lifeline to them. I can assure you this is an elite team that’s gonna get 100% of the money you sent to them and put it to good use.
Si eres o vives en México, también puedes donar a su cuenta bancaria: Santander 92000709294 CLABE 014180920007092942
Also: a lot of my followers are American, and the American dollar to Mexican pesos conversion is ridiculous (1 dollar = 17.82 pesos. For reference, the DAILY minimum wage in México is 80.04 pesos. That’s less than 5 dollars a day!). Every small dollar donation amounts to A LOT, so “just a dollar” is literally gonna save lives.
the most important thing to me ever is bi kids knowing that it’s ok to be 10% attracted to women and 90% attracted to men or 10% attracted to men and 90% attracted to women and still feeling ok to identify as bi, and still feeling like their identity is valid, and still feeling like they can lead fulfilling lives with both (or other) genders. like that’s just so fricking important.
I’m a bi adult and you know what? I needed this. Thank you.
it’s also important to remember that it can be a fluid % like sometimes it’ll be 50/50 some times 10/90 and then drift into a 45/65 or even 2/98 and it’s still okay. It’s just where you are at that time in your life.
why do people say “don’t be a pussy” when talking about weakness more like “don’t be a man’s ego” because you know there isn’t nothing more fragile than that
uh
because “pussy” is the shortened form of the word “pusillanimous”, which means “timid, cowardly”
and not the slang word for the female genital region?
one of the best tips for Real Life that I’ve ever picked up is to always highball your estimate whenever someone asks you “when can you get this done by” by about 25% (if you can get away with it). that way, if it ends up being harder than you thought, you’ve got extra time to figure things out and if you were right about how much time it takes then you get to look like an absolute genius instead of just a simply competent person.
what you may not have realized is that I learned this crucial piece of life advice from an episode of Star Trek where Scotty is telling Geordi that whenever he told Kirk something on the Enterprise was at full capacity, it was always only ever a notch or so below full capacity so that Scotty looked like the god of all engineers when he was able to magically hack the warp drive to run a little beyond what he’d told everyone else was “full capacity” and honestly that one throwaway gag from Star Trek has changed my life.
I have absolutely used The Scotty Manoeuver in real life. 10/10, would recommend.
In the software industry, 25% over what you think is honestly still a lowball estimate.
