Sorry to all my amazing followers, but I really need to take a break for my mental health. I’ll still be writing and updating/posting on fanfic sites, but other than that, not much else.
Love ya all and hope to see you around when I return.
Intuition is real. Vibes are real. Energy doesn’t lie. Tune in.
This is actually called thin slicing. Your brain recognizes patterns from very small “slices” of information by comparing them to things you have experienced before. This all happens very quickly on a subconscious level without our conscious mind being involved. So intuition is actually really fast pattern recognition, and it can be very accurate. So yeah, if you have a gut feeling that a person or situation is not good, get the hell out. Your brain knows what’s up.
A funny thing about introducing a new queen into a hive that has lost its queen (or one that you’ve killed because her brood was too fighty).
You have to introduce the new queen into the hive with these special queen cages that are stopped up with candy, and are open enough to let the hive smell the new queen, but not open enough that they can get in there and kill her.
Because they will kill her.
When you first put the new queen in she smells like an intruder, but by the time it takes the bees to eat through the candy and free the queen, the queen’s pheromones will have had time to work and the hive will have gotten used to her.
From the outside this kinda seems like:
“Yeh, we were all going to murder you to death before, but we’re full of candy now, so we’re cool. Oh yeh, and how about you be the new queen and stuff. Yeh, that’s cool too.”
beekeeping is really weird
Listen, strange bee queens lyin’ in cages distributin’ candy is no basis for a system of government.

Update from April 2017:
Source: CNN Money, http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/05/news/us-womens-soccer-equal-pay/index.html
“The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team is getting a raise, bigger bonuses and the same per diems as the men.
The women’s team announced Wednesday that it had struck a new labor deal with U.S. Soccer, the sport’s governing body. For months, the women have said that their pay and treatment is unequal to the men’s team.
The women will also get better hotel and travel accommodations and will be reimbursed for the years when their per diems were less than those of the men.”
Finally some good news for the USWNT!
You folks seem to be unfamiliar with the way math works. If she was 100 then her mother had to have been 65 years old when she was born AT THE YOUNGEST to be ‘a former slave’.
Ever heard of menopause? Happens to women between 45 and 55. Makes the babies stop.
You seem to be unaware that black men were also slaves, and are unaffected by menopause. In fact, the oldest man to father a child is 96 years old at the time of said child’s birth.
Considering the article itself stated that it was, in fact, her father who was the slave, not her mother, this response seems especially ridiculous. Not only that, but your math is incorrect, and I am impressed that you got it so… wrong.
Slavery ended in 1865 (That is when the 13th amendment was ratified) and the emancipation proclamation was declared only three years earlier. Her father, Elijah Odom, was born in 1859, and was six when slavery was outlawed, and three when Lincoln issued his proclamation. So, we can confirm, her father was indeed a slave and born while slavery was still legal.
She was born in 1917. To determine her fathers age at the time of her birth we simply take 1917 and subtract 1859. He was probably 58 when she was born (give or take 1 year), so no, the ‘youngest’ he would have had to be for her to be one hundred is not ‘65′ (And I’m unsure of where you got that number from, you can’t just pull numbers out of your ass and decide they are fact because you ‘feel’ like it).
There is all the evidence and logic you need, and for someone so obsessed with it, it seems particularly impressive that all of this would have escaped you. Like, if you had bothered reading the article at all, all of this information would have been very much readily available. Also like, google exists, and a lot of this is very easy to google too.
“Come at me with evidence and logic, fuck your feelings” *forgets that fathers exist*
When we first rescued Larry, the tortoise, he could never understand where Cricket went to in the mornings (for his walk) and would always want to go with him. He would always follow him down to the car to go for a walk with him…. Cricket would patiently wait for him to catch up. - fozzcook
