#listen listen #here we have alec who didn’t like clary from the very beginning #hugging her when she just lost someone she deeply cares about #because alec might put a hard face and pretend he doesn’t have feelings #but he cares about his own people #like the leader he is #and if you don’t think alec cares even a little bit about clary after this scene #then you’re wrong #the beginning of a beautiful brotp

the president of nigeria is about to fuck boko haram up and cut his own salary in half and criminalized female genital mutilation

the president of guinea built/is building infrastructure and school and wells all over the country and is decreasing youth unemployment exponentially

the president of cote d’ivoire made school mandatory of children ages 6-16 and banned plastic bags while also building ultra modern trasportation infrastructure

the future is for real in africa 

I think this should have a hell of a lot more notes on it than it does. This is what good news looks like folk, and the continent of Africa surely deserves a shed load of it.

Today (April 7th) is Remembrance Day for the Rwandan genocide. While Rwanda still faces challenges, their recovery has been incredible. They now have the highest percentage of women in parliament around the world (one of only two countries to have over 50% women), their gross national income has risen each year, and life expectancy has risen from  48 in 1990 to 65 in 2013.

i hate when ppl are like “you have problems with doing things like memory and setting goals? write them down, make a schedule:)”

the aforementioned things make that a little difficult

“Defeat executive dysfunction by utilizing your executive functioning! It’s easy!”

so people are reblogging this post and i’ve gotten a few comments along the lines of “it’s like needing scissors to open the container your scissors are in”

and that’s exactly what it’s like

and i feel like there are a lot of people misunderstanding what this post was trying to say (commenting things like “trying isn’t a bad thing though!!! it really does work!!!!!!”)

but it’s like the scissors comparison

no one is saying they’ve given up trying to open the package–it’s just a complaint because this situation is frustrating

because when people give this kind of advice it’s kind of like saying “but you have those scissors in that container right there!! just open it with those!:) it’s not that hard if you try!!!”

but then when you ask for help because you can’t get the container open or you take a break because trying to rip it apart with your hands is exhausting and hurts, people yell at you for being lazy and not trying hard enough

this post is just saying that this situation is frustrating and how there should be better alternatives–i wish someone could lend me their scissors or a knife or SOMETHING instead of CONSTANTLY being expected to open the package with the scissors inside

what makes it even more frustrating is the fact that the scissors only last one use, so you have to struggle with this business with the container EVERY time you need to use them and no one seems to understand that it’s hard because they all have a knife or an extra pair of scissors to help them open theirs
