My parents don’t want my Partner and I to buy this super awesome and cheap house in a great neighborhood because the neighbors are ‘too dark,’ as in, about half of the neighbors are black.   And that’s freaking stupid.  It’s a HUD home, so it’s cheap and subsidized, and it appeared online, and when we went to check it out, dad told us to make sure it wasn’t too dark.  This one man we met, who would be our neighbor on the right side, was really nice, he had a really cool garden and he seemed like he had a Grandpa personality.  I love old guys with Grandpa personalities.  He’s lived in the same house since ‘88.  I wanted to hear stories about the old days before I was born from my world-wise neighbor but now I can’t because he’s black and half of the other neighbors are black?  And it’s not like it’s filled with crime, which could happen with any race really.  From what I’ve seen it’s mostly retired old people.  Their only problem is with the race of the people.  But when I accused my mom of being racist, she got mad at me.  I wanted to make an offer on the house because not only is it a nice house that doesn’t really need much work, it’s also near the airport, so we can make a low offer and have enough money in my savings to live off of without being too dependent on my parents.   Mom told me to wait three days, probably because she thinks the house will be sold by then.   I’m just super mad and I don’t know what to do.   ARghshd.

This is JASON FYLES and he goes to my university (Newcastle University, North East of England) He is 19 years old, 5’8, ginger hair and slim. He was last seen in the Sandyford area at 2:45am on Thursday morning and has not been seen since. He was wearing a blue shirt, grey cardigan, beige chinos and brown ankle boots. Everyone in uni is so worried about him along with his family and friends. We are coming together as a university to appeal for his safe return. It is thought that he lost his friends on the night out and tried to make his way back by himself. Please, I am begging for you to REBLOG THIS, even if you don’t live in Newcastle, or England. Every REBLOG means that someone else will see his face, they will know who we are looking for, and your followers could be the one to know his whereabouts. Stay safe Jason, we’re looking for you. 
THIS WILL NOT RUIN YOUR BLOG! 

Local news report

PLEASE. Nobody reblogged my own post on this which I posted an hour or so ago so I’m wondering if nobody will now. This guy is my friend. If I have ever sent you a nice ask or reblogged something of yours and it made you happy for a second (or even if I haven’t; this is about helping him, not doing me a favour) for God’s sake just help now, help to find my friend Jason. You want me to make him human to you?

• Once we all grew beans in pots as part of a Biology experiment- the experiment failed miserably and made the whole lab stink, but his was the only bean that grew and he was actually pretty proud about it
• He learned to knit as part of a school project where he had to learn a creative skill, and when a couple of people teased him about it he said “gender is a social construct” and carried on knitting like a badass
• He loves the scene in The Great Gatsby where Gatsby throws all his silk shirts around and he and I used to giggle over it together
• Once I asked him if he had a string of tinsel I could use in a photoshoot and he brought me a big cardboard box full of tinsel and fairy lights because he’s a helpful and lovely guy

He’s HUMAN and he needs our HELP and just PLEASE PLEASE FUCKING REBLOG THIS??? He’s been missing for four days now- when he went missing he would have been wearing his contact lenses and he won’t have had his (very thick) glasses with him so by now he’ll have had to take his contacts out and throw them away and he won’t be able to see well and oh God just please signal boost this

This guy disappeared around the corner from my house - I’m looking out for you Jason! Please get home safe.

Passages?

Anyone know some cool passages to be read at my wedding?  I’m up for anything.

the-more-u-know:

The milkshake:  This is not limited to fast food nor to milkshakes.  That ‘concoction’ is the industry standard artificial strawberry flavoring found in everything strawberry flavored that isn’t naturally flavored.

Chicken nuggets: Total lies.  My sister works at the Tyson plant that provides KFC and McDonalds their nuggets.  There’s no ‘pink paste’ stage.  ’Reflavoring’ is an injection of mostly salt into the meat in order to give it some taste because modern day chicken is nearly flavorless.  If you want to disgust people, show them the conditions of the processing plants that dismantle the chickens.

The pubic hair one: You eat more of your family’s pubic hairs cooking in your own home.  You think you don’t shed once you walk in your own door?

Peanut butter: This is a cold hard truth of food mass production.  There will be insects.  You can never get rid of them or take them out of the process.  The FDA places limits on how much can be allowed into specific foods so that food manufactories don’t get lazy and just say ‘Well we can’t keep it out.’  The FDA limit helps immensely because it makes these places try to keep the insect population down through keeping things clean.

Shellac: Oh my god this is so stupid.  ’Shellac’ is an INGREDIENT.  It’s a NATURAL PRODUCT produced by INSECTS.  It is then PROCESSED into food-grade glaze or colorants, OR into wood and furniture polish.  They don’t just take wood polish and dump it on your jawbreakers.  Grow up.

Bacteriophages: The ‘phages of which you speak are used to kill the listeria virus.  Listeria is a bacteria that attacks the immune system and has a one in five mortality rate.  Bacteriophages?  They’ve been used as an alternative to antibiotic medications in Russia and France for 90 years.  That’s really disgusting and dangerous!

Coke: This is total and complete bunk.  It would have been far more effective to point out that colas and carbonated drinks have been linked to weakened bones in those who overconsume them, but this is complete lies here.  Again.

Salads: I think you mean propylene glycol.  And again, this is bullshit.  PG only causes reactions in those allergic to it.  It has a very low toxicity and can only negatively affect human health if very large amounts are ingested very quickly and over a very short period of time.  By which I mean ‘Find a vat of it and start drinking it and nothing else.’  Again you go for the lie instead of pointing out that fast food salads are processed and contain as much fat and cholesterol as most of the other foods offered by a fast food place.

Beef additives: This has nothing to do with fast food.  This is common in MOST meats in the US.  This is because the US has become so obsessed with the fat content of meat and making it ‘healthy’ that we have literally bred almost all the flavor out of every food animal breed we currently use.  Flavorants are almost ALWAYS injected during processing or most of our meat would be bland and tasteless.   ‘Flavorants’ typically being concentrated broth and/or salt and seasoning.

Cheese: Lies again.  Only those cheeses labelled as ‘Pasteurized process cheese food’ and ‘Pasteurized process cheese spread’ match these stats.  Pasteurized process cheese is simply a blended cheese made to have a sharp taste and be easily melted.  Your lie here is that the 47% is referring to the cheese’s fat content, not cheese content.

This image is full of lies and misrepresented half-truths and anyone spreading this as truthful should rethink their approach.

Im so hungry right now. I don’t think this is what the OP intended.

Makpal Abdrazakova, the only female eagle hunter in Kazakhstan.

Kickin’ ass and lookin’ fine. 

I just googled this woman.  Apparently she is also training to be a lawyer!  I suppose hunting with a live eagle while looking utterly gorgeous is just not enough accomplishment for her.
