HOW THE FUCK ARE THESE BABIES SWIMMING I AM 21 AND CANNOT SWIM THIS IS SOME FUCK SHIT

Babies instinctively know when to hold their breathes!
Babies are amazing

what

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? I HAVE TO HOLD MY NOSE AND THIS BABY DOESN’T HAVE TOO!?

What shitty parent discovered this

babies are naturally able to swim hello they just spent nine moths in amiotic fluid this is instinctive so no, parent is not shitty, parent is re-enforcing baby’s natural instinctive behaviour.

parent is good for doing this because parent is basically saying “yes the behaviours you were born with are great!”

Also helps condition the babies so they don’t build up a fear of swimming in deep water that is prevalent in a lot of people later on.

lickypickystickyme:

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

From top to bottom:

Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke (herring with potatoes and cottage cheese).

Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.

Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.

Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.

The photographer’s grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.

Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).

Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).

Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).

Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).

Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.

eriquius:

sorry if i’m off the mark here but i’m tired of both people who act really immature about not liking school and people who see those people and act really pretentious and awful because they think they have some sort of godly wisdom in saying “suck it up you spineless baby” when really things shouldn’t have to be this way they really shouldn’t

(also in case anyone mentions it: i’m a low-average high school student who generally gets by on really high test scores and has been thinking about ways the school system could improve mostly by watching their friends and observing their problems)

What this doesn’t take into account, though, is that a lot of the criticisms that sound immature really aren’t … the American public school system, at least, was designed by its creator to do something very specific, and that something specific has nothing to do with actual learning.

Suggested reading: John Taylor Gatto’s “The Six-Lesson Schoolteacher,” or go straight to the source and look up John Dewey and his legacy.

When I was bullied in middle school, the school punished the bullies but didn’t bother to see how I was doing. They didn’t even tell my parents. And I didn’t realize you could talk to people about it and I tried to deal with it by myself for 3 years because the school didn’t think of the one getting bullied beyond stopping the abuse.

That would have been great to have thought of. I don’t even blame those kids anymore. I blame those adults who failed me. Except Mr. Hum. Who let me sit in ceramics during lunch and PE for the last year and a half and make things without paying for the supplies like everyone else.

thumbcramps:

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.

also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.

anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!

PBB Teens Vlogging?!

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:41:00 -0400

This is something I wrote on ABS-CBN’s PBB5 Suggestions Thread. I really hope they do it!

I’d really like to see another Teen edition and besides tweets can we get the housemates to vlog (video blog) on youtube? Vlogging’s becoming really popular nowadays. I understand that their will be a lot of housemates so what if they rotate every week? Housemate A can vlog on Monday, then Housemate B can vlog on Thursday, and then next week it’s Housemate C and Housemate D and so on. Vlog videos are not very long (most range from 3-5 minutes). This is an excellent way to challenge the housemates’ performance and problem solving (ie. what kind of videos would they do, or how they would talk to an audience, what kind of topics they’d like to talk about.)

Also, this is a good way to get more in touch with an international audience especially if you put in subtitles in the video (ie. for young Filipino Americans/Europeans who grew up only knowing English).

For those unfamiliar about vlogging, please take a look at these examples.

Most vloggers talk in their room

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bf4famoUqE

A housemate can give us a tour (of the PBB house) like this guy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kCsqz9n4rU

This guy.. I mean come on! I don’t know about you but this stuff is entertaining!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkC1-aOqAbM

They can talk about their favorite books/authors..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSiVziaQJK4&list=PLw366ja7A0_e89rG1Ky8LZBDaGUW8gyAN&index=5

And it doesn’t even have to be a housemate talking, it can be as simple as making breakfast
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EJjbrlVnfQ

to a dynamic duo talking about random (possibly cute) things
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olPH3enmG_4

Sing a song or try parkour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6tzGJG3Ns8&list=UUavTVjugW1OejDAq0aDzdMw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g6u2-Q2EVI

Or they can also answer questions from fans!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoFQ3bjy_MA

And lastly: How to Vlog by Hank Green
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2lY0T5cA0s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh6bMRGcfX8&feature=youtu.be
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpuQxzBH1U&list=UUOT2iLov0V7Re7ku_3UBtcQ&index=1

Anyway, it’d be really cool to see the housemates vlogging. The fans would most likely love this kind of extra stuff especially if they can share it on their blogs, gif it, comment on it and so on. There are so many possibilities with this medium and the level of immersion it provides to its viewers can be very good for the show as well (if you’re shooting for ratings and an even bigger audience). ABS-CBN has all the resources for vlogging (ie. camera equipment, set designers, video editors, PR people, etc). Get the housemates to utilize these resources. Get them to vlog inside Kuya’s house!
