1. Acknowledge how you feel, and accept that this is going to be a more challenging day.
2. Commit to doing the absolute essentials but don’t push yourself to do everything.
3. Prioritize what’s important. For example, if you have a report that has to be submitted, then decide to work on that. However, if it is something that can wait, set it aside for now.
4. Work through your to-do list in small chunks of time – making sure you get plenty of breaks.
5. Tell someone who will understand. We need to get support when we’re feeling low.
6. Be wise in your use of social media. It may be good to deactivate your facebook account, or to switch off your phone to protect yourself from images and chit chat that leaves you feeling worse.
7. Make sure you leave the house and get a change of scenery.
8. Deliberately invest in some form of self-care … but make sure it is something that you know will help your mood. And remember that tomorrow is another day.
There is a reason this is the last scene in which Okoye appears before the credits roll. It speaks volumes about the power black women possess. Seeing anyone, let alone a black man, submit to a black woman on screen in this way is a rarity.
Gurira thinks the message in that scene is vital for everyone, especially women and girls.
“You expect to use your love for me and our love for each other to actually get me to betray my nation, and I would kill you first. I love that,” she said. “I think women don’t often get to portray that sort of nobility and that sort of integrity, especially [choosing that] over their love.” – Danai Gurira on The Scene™
Giant tarantulas keep tiny frogs as pets. Insects will eat the burrowing tarantulas’ eggs – so the spiders protect the frogs from predators, and in return the frogs eat the insects. Source
This has blown my mind for years. It’s so unreal. It’s almost the same exact reason humans and cats started living together.
Tiny frogs are tarantula housecats. A science fact seldom gets to sound that much like meaningless word salad.
This is legit, guys. And I’m excited about it.
Someone needs to draw a tarantula person with a tiny pet housefrog now. Please let this be a thing.

Zephyr (Faith Herbert)is a psiot with the power of flight. She is a member of Peter Stanchek’s Renegades and often acts as the moral compass of the team.
She’s so cute and positive and she’s such a sweetheart
Oh my god????
My chest just got so tight and I think I’m going to cry she looks like me
I need this. Right now. It’s funny how you don’t know some aspect of yourself isn’t represented in a certain media until it IS and you’re just sitting there, looking at it, drinking it in like you’ve been thirsty for 41 years.
Glad to see my lifelong disinterest in golf is paying off
let me tell you about golf
i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die
the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago
there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world
let the golf industry burn
There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone.
Write how someone finally snapped while working in retail and how they became the worlds greatest villain.
Saki From Retail, as she calls herself, became the world’s greatest villain.
Not because she ever ruled the world, or shrank the moon, or defeated every hero in her path. She’s still sorta new to this, even if she’s taking to it really well. But she’s well known as the world’s greatest villain… to work for.
Henchmen and henchwomen all over the world flock to her once news got out she wasn’t executing them for failures, that they got full benefits, dental, and a pretty fair cut of the profits. Working hours were really flexible, and even the more ridiculous demands were given a much more reasonable timeframe – even the top shark tank maker in the business has named her his favorite customer, because she actually understands it takes time to wrangle the best sharks, and to make those things shark-proof, and that sometimes the sharks just aren’t in the mood at the moment. She talks to her people like, well, people, even the janitors (especially Rodney, the guy who deals with radioactive waste, also one of the best in the business).
It’s not all roses, and she does lose her temper, but she’s still never executed a henchperson out of rage. She got betrayed once and flared up, interrogated him until she found out that his family was being threatened – she got the crew, rounded up the heroes threatening his family, let him push the button on the shark tank, and compensated him and his family for the trouble. That news got out, and now she’s got practically all of the henchpeople community rooting for her.
Of course, that sorta miffed the rest of the villains, and that’s how she got taken down, villains and heroes working together to take care of a shared inconvenience. They had her in the cell for about 2 days and then she got sprung out – by the whole friggin’ prison. Word is she’s already got her empire back up and running.
Speaking of which, there’s an opening if you want in.
Is um. Is there a listing on Indeed or does she have an application form on her own website or
