I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.
He stops and looks both ways?!?
You wanna know what makes this better?
Crows normally walk. This one seems to have both legs working, so he’s not hopping out of necessity, he’s doing it for fun. Corvids can sometimes be seen doing things like this for no evident reason other than enjoyment.
Bruce runs a free non profit charity truck stop to feed the hungry and homeless and then all of a sudden there are these kids who are looking to help the community and want to make the world better despite having nothing and shit. Guess he’s a father now.
18 month old walked up to me during my lunch break, climbed into the chair beside me, and began monologuing in the most articulate and confident gibberish I’ve ever heard
little guy had things to SAY
I can’t overstate how wholeheartedly he threw himself into the rhythm and inflection of real people words. He would pause for emphasis and then look up at me to see what I thought, raising his voice inquisitively or making impassioned declarations. Absolutely incomprehensible but he was doing a phenomenal impression of human language and conversational tone.
Conner: I can’t believe Tim’s off with his dumb boyfriend! What am I even gonna do all day?!
Thadd: Hey, wanna play smash bros?
Conner: Sure… whatever
Thadd, plopping himself into Conner’s lap: Cool, I’m playing as Princess Zelda, no doubles, items on. You got a problem with that? Then you shouldn’t have agreed to play.
Conner, eyes widening: blonde, snarky, demanding - Hey, Thadd, who landed on the moon first?
Thadd, scoffing: Landed on the moon? Meta’s come from the moon genius, we landed here not the other way around. The people of the first earth? God, it’s like you’ve never studied Theia Theory.
Someone said “Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant.”….. Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..
To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa. So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.
Luanda, Angola
Agadir, Morocco
Lagos, Nigeria
Cairo, Egypt
Port Louis, Mauritius
Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire
Algiers, Algeria
Tripoli, Libya
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Tunis, Tunisia
So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.
I once was talking to my Ethiopian manager about ignorant people asking her dumb shit about her life before she moved to the states…
the worst story she told me about was when she told a fellow student (at a fairly prestigious university) about a concert she went to back home. The other student responded with “omg you have music there!?” 🤦🏾♀️
Rebloging, because we need to see these pictures.
As for stupid questions: “do you have grocery stores in Ecuador?”
These are great!
A redneck neighbor once asked my mom (in the 80s) if they had cars in Peru. Sigh.
This is the product of poor world history in school & little current affairs coverage outside Western Europe, except for catastrophes, so all we see are the war torn, poverty stricken, disaster-affected parts on the news. And racism, of course.
I bet most Americans who think that African countries are just completely poverty stricken have no idea what the US looks like in its poorest areas, not everywhere in the US is nice suburbs or unrealistically large apartments on tv
Los Angeles, California
Hartford, Connecticut
New Orleans, Louisiana
Camden, New Jersey
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
McDowell County, West Virginia
Flint, Michigan
Washington, D.C.
Do you see the world as it is, or as someone told you it is?
This photoset proves you can make anywhere look great or terrible. It’s all framing and more people should know about that
Worth a reblog. I don’t think the US version was on there when I first reblogged.
