I Think This Is What I Liked Best About The Movie... And Grown-up Luke's Sense Of Humor.

What Really Happens After the Apocalypse

Right now, the largest and most deadly wildfire in California history is burning. Last year, Hurricane Harvey drowned southeast Texas under punishing, endless rain; a month ago, Hurricane Florence …

The myth that panic, looting, and antisocial behavior increases during the apocalypse (or apocalyptic-like scenarios) is in fact a myth—and has been solidly disproved by multiple scientific studies. The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, a research group within the United States Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), has produced research that shows over and over again that “disaster victims are assisted first by others in the immediate vicinity and surrounding area and only later by official public safety personnel […] The spontaneous provision of assistance is facilitated by the fact that when crises occur, they take place in the context of ongoing community life and daily routines—that is, they affect not isolated individuals but rather people who are embedded in networks of social relationships.” (Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions, National Academy of Sciences, 2006). Humans do not, under the pressure of an emergency, socially collapse. Rather, they seem to display higher levels of social cohesion, despite what media or government agents might expect…or portray on TV. Humans, after the apocalypse, band together in collectives to help one another—and they do this spontaneously. Disaster response workers call it ‘spontaneous prosocial helping behavior’, and it saves lives.

10 reasons not to vaccinate my kid:

1. I believe in god and don’t understand statistics. 2. I have no idea of chemistry and biology and therefore believe that any association with a harmful element is automatically harmful. Even if the amount is insignificant. 3. I do not understand the difference between correlation and causality. 4. I ignore the most obvious studies and prefer to believe quacks that have been refuted a thousand times, that either have never treated or rightly no longer treat patients. 5. I cannot distinguish serious and scientific sources from lies and false promises and therefore believe that [insert arbitrary facebook/twitter/random page]  is a credible source. 6. I know that there are problems with the pharmaceutical industry, therefore I consistently ignore everything that has to do with science and real medicine. 7. I do not understand the concept of herd immunity. 8. I do not watch news and therefore do not know what is going on in countries and regions lacking adequate vaccination protection. 9. I am not able to think logically and I don’t even realize that a conspiracy of this magnitude (with millions of people involved) could never be kept secret. 10. I want my child to die.

First Flight

Fictober19:  Day 1 Prompt:  “It will be fun, trust me.” Fandom:  Enderal Warnings:  Language

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He didn't like being outside -- too... exposed.  And these eyes were still too sensitized to the dark; they burned and watered in the daylight.  The fingers dug harshly into the fur as he sat astride the great beast; soft... annoying.  Every muscle, from above the squinted eyes down to the toes, was tensed beyond his ability to release.

"It will be fun," she had said, "trust me."  She was a fucking idiot.  He was a fucking idiot for agreeing to partake in such madness, but they had a job to do and this was the fastest way to get from point A to point B.

 With each beat of its wings, the beast's body undulated sickeningly.  If he vomited, she would wear it; he'd make sure of that.

 "Wooo-hooooo!" she screamed into the wind.  Her muscles were relaxed, with her arms extended euphorically into the air.  She wasn't even holding on!  What in hells was wrong with her?!

 When they finally landed... more gently than he'd expected... he pried the stiff fingers from the soft fur -- still annoying -- and climbed off the great beast.

 "Wasn't that amazing?!" she exclaimed.  She was flushed with exhilaration.  He was certain he was paler than usual.

 Still, her exuberance had a way of affecting him.  Maybe, he considered, while trying to maintain a scowl at her, if the next flight was at night...

Sexy Break of Reality

That costume will take some real effort...I'd better get to it!

I'd love to hear that song!

Hello! Can Esme sing? What instruments does she play? Thanks and have a good day!

Fun fact: Originally, I wanted to end the Esme quest with a song written by her for Tara. So yeah, she can definitely sing and play the lute.

Ket...is not that cute, really

Was screwing around with a Chibi Doll Maker and made my Enderal Prophet

Here you should also make yours and reblog with yours attached :D 

You know Alok has got something planned with the grin on his face.

Also found this Doll maker thanks to @syekick-powers​
