pineappledream:

“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”

Hey this is pretty cool indeed!!

Thylacosmilus atrox by Viergacht

“Though Thylacosmilus is one of several predatory mammal genera typically called “sabre-toothed cats”, it was not a felid but a sparassodont, a group closely related to marsupials, and only superficially resembled other sabre-toothed mammals due to convergent evolution.” Wikipedia

Nashville Zoo Keepers Administer Emergency Mouth To Snout CPR To Save a Baby Tapir

“It was very tense for the first few minutes, but because of our preparation and training, we were able to intervene and rescue the baby,” said Brown. “Mother and calf are now bonding and doing great. The baby loves being scratched and discovering how fast he can run around the barn.”

Why Parents Need to Let Their Children Fail

You see, teachers don’t just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. We teach responsibility, organization, manners, restraint, and foresight. These skills may not get assessed on standardized testing, but as children plot their journey into adulthood, they are, by far, the most important life skills I teach.

I’m not suggesting that parents place blind trust in their children’s teachers; I would never do such a thing myself. But children make mistakes, and when they do, it’s vital that parents remember that the educational benefits of consequences are a gift, not a dereliction of duty. Year after year, my “best” students — the ones who are happiest and successful in their lives — are the students who were allowed to fail, held responsible for missteps, and challenged to be the best people they could be in the face of their mistakes.

I have worked with some of the smartest, most highly educated people on the planet and have been astonished to find them paralyzed with doubt simply because they don’t know how to deal with the prospect of failure.

I should tell people more about my gigantic failures. You know about some of them. But I have, over the years, spent a great deal of time and money on things that you have never heard of that were bad ideas and that I am even embarrassed to have been a part of.

I have failed and been held responsible for my failures as a child, a student, a friend, a boyfriend, an employee, a creator, and an entrepreneur. I have failed myself and I have failed the people I love.

When, in my history as a vlogbrother, I made videos that were bad or disprespectful or thoughtless, I have been held accountable by Nerdfighteria. Sometimes, when I say “I’m sorry, I should not have said that” people in the comments will reply “YOU DON’T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR CREATIONS OR YOUR OPINIONS!” but I do…because sometimes my creations and my opinions are wrong. And sometimes I just don’t think as much as I should have.

And sometimes your thoughts and opinions are wrong too. And sometimes you’re thoughtless, or driven by fear instead of love, or just having a bad day. We will all fail…failure is not a reflection on character…but not admitting failure when it is apparent, or being held back by the prospect of failure, or devastated when it arrives…those are the flaws that we all need to work hard to overcome.

Heyyy maybe you’ve seen that first picture being posted all over facebook? I know I have! I also know that the jokes were originally by Ben Kling, as you can see by following this link! There are also more where they came from! Cute stuff.

Now jokes like “Be Mein” could be pretty coincidental but on the whole I don’t think so! I just wanted to direct you to the original artist, because hey, fight that good proper attribution fight. Facebook is a no mans land of nothing attributed to anyone ever.
