I'm about ready to start crying cuz my partner for this group project final keeps over complicating it and it was due THIS PAST SUN and she won't just finish her part and do the summary after I did all the fucking numbers and so my grade is at a 50% like PLEASE the prof TOLD ME that what I did looked good JUST WRITE THE SUMMARY AND TURN IT IN PLEASE
like the prof legit told me to tell her not to over think it and she won't listen and DIDNT CONTACT ME until like 20 minutes ago. after I told her I had all day off and to contact me if she needed anything else. but she keeps wanting to change the things prof said were good or to do
I'm just. so tired. and I hate having to hold this stuff until NIGHT TIME like please I need to know earlier in the day so I can work on it BEFORE I HAVE TO GO TO BED. I have a job!
The most beautiful thing about Athens
Wasn't built by the hands of man
The most beautiful thing 'bout the shoreline
Will never be footprints we leave in the sand
That's okay
No big deal
We'll just be a part of it all
The most beautiful thing about Athens might be the fall
The most dangerous thing about Sparta
Isn't weapons they forged in the flames
The most dangerous thing about a person
Will never be something they know how to change
That's okay
No big deal
I'm sure we can answer the call
The most beautiful thing about Athens might be the fall
And civilization is Sisyphus' twin
Progress our boulder, what a prison we're in
The sons keep the sins of their fathers intact
And there might be just one cure for that
That's okay (That's okay)
No big deal (No big deal)
I'm sure we can [?] these halls
The most beautiful thing about Athens might be the fall
Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.
That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.
palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.
Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.
ok but one of the most annoying parts of being friends with people who just decide not to listen in school is when they ask you whats going on like yes I do know whats going on but there is a mental blockage of YOU SHOULDVE FUCKING LISTENED IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW.
PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!
regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!
regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.
gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!
no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!
Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!
honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3
Something I think about a lot is how Rick Riordan very rarely uses "girlfriend/boyfriend" to refer to Percy and Annabeth within their perspectives. They're so intertwined, even Annabeth says in hoh that the word boyfriend isn't strong enough, because Percy was a part of her. They are a singular soul, too wrapped around each others' fates that regular labels are far too weak for them. But, Rick Riordan uses "boyfriend" a lot in Nico and Wills perspectives, not because they love each other less than percabeth, but to show how much the word means to them. Nico uses it any chance he gets- "his boyfriend," "he actually had a boyfriend," because Nico has never been able to say that before. Their struggle with their queer identities mixed with Nico's catholic guilt and chronic everyone-hates-me disease makes the fact that he has someone to call his actual boyfriend so much more important to his character development.
