science side of Tumblr explain why the ride home always takes less time
The ride home takes less time because you already have memories of the locations you passed on the way there. When you take in a new memory your brains “slows down” to process it and write as much information as possible. When you’ve already experienced something it doesn’t have as much to remember.
wait so is time essentially an illusion??
Yes.
yeah im sorry i dont need this right now it’s 10pm i’m procrastinating studying for a final and i just need you to stop there for a sec if that’s okay with you
I’m so upset that people downplay this part of the cast because, to me, along with the Latina women, they are ALL that matter. I only watch the show for them. I can’t stand that white girl and idk why she’s the lead tbh.
Have you been eating well? If not, eat a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts. You need vitamins; you need protein.
You’re probably not drinking enough water.
When is the last time you showered? Take a cold shower to wake you up or a hot shower if you need to relax.
Do the laundry that’s been piling up. You’ve been wearing that sweatshirt for too long.
Take care of the dishes in the sink that have been there for three days and have started to stress you out.
Did you brush your teeth this morning? How about your hair?
Listen to the messages on your phone that have been there for days.
Go outside for at least a couple minutes. You don’t even have to do anything; just sit down. Breathe in the fresh air and get some vitamin D.
Open your blinds. Your room is too dark and it’s probably making you tired.
Spend some time with your pet. Pet them, feed them, take them for a walk or clean out their litterbox. Caring for them will make you feel useful and responsible and give you something to do.
The self-care posts that tell you to take a bath and eat chocolate and read a book are good, but do what needs to be done first. Eating chocolate when you haven’t showered in four days and you can’t remember when the last time you changed your underwear was won’t make you feel better. It will probably make you feel worse. Clean yourself up; clean your surroundings up. Then take care of the little things. Tackle life one thing at a time.
If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”
i’m always reblogging this.
I’ve reblogged this a million times and will ALWAYS reblog it. She is so beautiful…It’s a great message.
I always reblog this when I see it on my dash.
You cant just NOT reblog this
This should have more notes. I reblog every time.
a’ight but first off she is a doll. honestly, i have never looked at a barbie doll and thought “damn, i wish i looked like her” because she is a small humanoid figurine that i liked to dress up in cute outfits — if anything i wished that i had all her stuff, not her figure. i don’t think i’ve ever met a real human being who felt skewed by barbie’s proportions.
secondly, 1965 was a LONG time ago. in 1965, doctors were prescribing cigarettes to pregnant women, and people didn’t tend to use seatbelts. i’m certain barbie was not the only company to fuck up in 1965.
PLUS, barbie’s slogan is “be who you wanna be.” barbie has taken on hundreds of careers over the years, including careers that weren’t even open to women at the time the doll was introduced.
barbie is not just her body.
It’s actually pretty sexist to ignore barbie’s message, and all the careers she’s had and all that and focus purely on her body
Christ, Barbie’s been everything from a McDonalds worker to a CEO and Astronaut
If that’s not a career woman, I don’t know what is
I can’t remember the ACTUAL reason she’s so damn skinny but it was either so that her dresses will fit/go on correctly or so that she can stand up right or something.
It was so that her appearance would look more realistic while fully clothed.
And as an older brother to the little sister that made ALL her Barbies naked and put them everywhere, I can say for certain that on the flipside I had never once looked at a naked Barbie and said “Damn I need to find a woman that looks like this”. I feel sorry for the person so fragile that they languish in a pit of hate and self-disrespect over a plastic toy.
