headcanon that kaikaina grif is actually the agent hawaii of project freelancer, sent to monitor the alpha ai after flowers’s reported death

her superiors have long been confused as to whether she is the most fearless soldier they’ve ever met, willing to leap into a volatile battleground and chew out the top-ranked freelancers of the organization, or just really, really, really dumb

“Just so everyone is aware, there is a bunch of misleading info being spread around re: ALS research – the “27%” figure is based on previous years’ annual funding; furthermore, the remainder goes to improving the quality of life of those suffering from ALS. Given that the annual funding is approximately 16M, that’s just over 4M spent on decreasing their suffering. It isn’t greed, it’s a lack of money.”

Shut up already.

The ALS Association has a 4-star rating from Charity Watchdog. 

And the next time you start to complain about a charity either a) working on multiple fronts (because that’s what ALSA does—both seeking a cure and helping people suffering now) or b) daring to have administration expenses—let’s see how long you can last, much less tackle a cause, without printer paper and an internet connection. 

As someone who has watched a family member die from a neuro-degenerative disease; funding to develop better wheelchairs and bedsore creams is *just* as important as funding research to cure the disease itself…

A friend of mine posted an update from one of HER friends to FB earlier.  Her dad has ALS.  The ALS foundation came out to see if they could put in a ramp for his wheelchair, but they couldn’t afford it because of the kind of ramp he needed for the kind of house they had.

This week they called back and said hey, the thing is, we suddenly have a bunch of money, so we’re coming out to build that ramp.  And they did.  She posted pics.

So if you feel like bitching about the ice bucket challenge…reconsider.

things i need to stop doing: not eating because i’ve lost the ability to recognize when i am hungry

I was not expecting this to get more than a handful of notes, but I’m honestly really glad that it’s not just me who does this.

Definitely not just you. I have an alarm set on my phone to remind me to eat every day, set to the loudest setting and informing me that it “doesn’t care if you’re not hungry. EAT.”

Actually the only reason I’m eating right now is because that alarm went off 15 minutes ago.

Sometimes I look up at the moon and think

Dame Judi Dench plays Dungeons & Dragons

She was introduced to the game by Vin Diesel on the set of Chronicles of Riddick

And now she DMs for her granddaughter

This is our world

Hemp is a Sensible, Sustainable, Highly-Industrializable Plant

We should utilize it. Hemp could solve many problems.

END PROHIBITION. It is NOT just about smoking.

YEP.

And you forgot a big one: it is excellent at trapping carbon! Plants pull the carbon dioxide out of the air, turn the carbons into other compounds and release the oxygen, thus cooling the planet.

Sometimes I think about writing a post about all the people that others think are cute or hot or handsome or whatever and that completely and utterly baffle me. And then I remember that this is tumblr and someone would think I was bashing their fav and things would spiral out of control and into anon hate town…

But for the record my number one “why do people think he’s hot” person is my brother.

Why. AND WHY TELL ME??? DAMMIT THAT’S MY (not-so) BABY BROTHER. I DON’T WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BANG HIM. UGH.
