Neuroanatomist and stroke survivor Jill Bolte Taylor talks about what it is like to have a stroke. We watched the first 10 minutes or so of this in my Psycholinguistics class this morning (the professor commented: “You know she’s a hardcore scientist because she thinks it’s a fascinating opportunity that she has a stroke”…makes me glad I’m just a linguist; we don’t have to risk death to learn about language first-hand!). Watch it. It’s fascinating stuff, and she obviously has a very unique perspective. Hooray for science, woo!

A video on perspective, decision, understanding, and life.

Thought-provoking stuff goes well with this quote:

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church….a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”

-Charles Swindoll

fireandiceandrageandkittens:

PEOPLE IN OR AROUND BOSTON

please

stay inside

text anyone you know who may be in the city

avoid phone calls if you can - lines are busy and i’ve heard some reports that cell phones may set off remaining explosives if there are any (i’m not sure how accurate this is, but better safe than sorry)

STAY INSIDE

try not to panic. if you knew someone who was running the marathon, look for them here

if you’re triggered by any of these events, blacklist #Boston. we don’t need this hurting any more people than it already has

and please be safe. i care so much about you all!

Spreading the word

Some of these pics from the Boston incident are just beyond awful.

In light of other devices reported to be found, let’s just hope we can minimize the damage and prevent any further casualties.

‘Hey Jude’ in Minor Scale.

This is so unnerving. I want to make a horror film just to use this in the trailer.

I’m fascinated with this concept. It’s like the song came from a different dimension.

queenvillageproject:

Philadelphia firefighter from Ladder 27 died fighting a fire in the city’s Queen Village neighborhood. A second firefighter was injured.

The fire started at a fabric store, Jack B’s, that had been there for 37 yrs.

The Red Cross made comfort and housing arrangements for 17 people displaced by the fire. Red Paw Relief Team is accommodating the pets.

The Mayor was to do a press conference from Jefferson Hospital.

Thoughts with the family, friends, and fellow fire fighters who are mourning their Captain tonight.

A Philadelphia Firefighter has been pronounced dead at a local hospital. He sustained injuries when a piece of a roof fell on him during a fabrics structure fire. Rest in peace brother.

Just saw this one on my fb feed today

with a “No thanks….” as the caption.

It’d probably be more straight to the point if they just used this one instead
