Today is Earth #Overshoot Day. In LESS than eight months, we used more natural resources than the planet is able to produce in a year. For the rest of 2015 we will be living on resources taken from future generations. Tag your friends to raise awareness and learn more in the link of our bio. #TBT http://ift.tt/1L8B0jG

These little guys used to live in the Smithsonian Institution Building, aka the Castle, in the 1970s. Named Increase and Diffusion (a nod to the Smithsonian’s mission of “the increase and diffusion of knowledge”), the pair was trained at the National Zoological Park. While they eventually flew the coop, previous owl residents overstayed their welcome–crashing into windows, nearly diving into night guards, and generating enough droppings to collapse the floor of one tower.
In honor of Owl Awareness Day today, learn more about the feathery inhabitants from the Smithsonian Institution Archives.

I wear glasses. Can I manage without glasses? Well, yes, probably. I could squint a lot, constantly move up close to anything I want to see, take the bus or a taxi if I want to go anywhere. I could just accept that I’ll never be able to see eagles flying in the sky or whales jumping out of the ocean.
But why? Why try so hard to manage life when I could just put on a pair of glasses? No one would ever suggest a near-sighted person should just work harder. No one would say ‘Maybe that’s just your normal’ to someone that needs glasses. They would say ‘Let’s go to the eye doctor and get you a prescription so you’re able to see again.’

This is such a good analogy because nobody thinks about it like this. If you wear glasses, you literally need constant use of a medical aid to experience the world like most people do. If it were anything besides glasses, that would be considered a disability. But needing glasses is an extremely common, visible, and accepted form of disability to the point that we don’t even consider it one, we just accept that some people need glasses and that’s perfectly normal and there’s nothing wrong with needing to rely on them.
That is how all disabilities and illnesses should be seen, and how we should look at treatment for them. You have a problem, and you need help dealing with it, and there’s nothing wrong with either of those things. That’s perfectly normal and that’s okay.

What the fuck is that, “act my age”?
What do I care how old I am?

It will still drown your ass with vigor."
