as soon as i figure out whether there’s any practical difference between ‘that’ and ‘which’ in a sentence, you’re all finished

Sometimes your song can’t start until you go some place to reflect.
Since I’m not seeing her name nearly enough on the press, let’s give the attention Katie Bouman deserves. Thanks to her, we are now possible to see the first ever image of a black hole, something that people talked 200 years ago for the first time. It’s no longer a myth. We are girls and we can be whatever we want to be. Einstein would be proud of you, Katie. Thank you!
Here you can see a huge stack of hard drives she used for Messier 87’s black hole image data.
🐣Granny-core’s Guide to the Norwegian Easter🐣
I loooove easter!! 🐣
I know easter is very much a religious holiday, but the Norwegian way of celebrating has become pretty far removed from it’s roots, at least for those of us (like me) who aren’t religious. We still have some very established traditions, which I greatly enjoy, like:
🏔️ Going to your cabin (or staying at someone else’s if you don’t have one. We also have some public ones that people can use for free).
🏔️ Skiing! Especially if you bring an orange and some chocolate wafer (there’s one that’s almost like a slightly less sweet Kit Kat).
🏔️ Paper easter eggs filled with candy.
🏔️ Easter marzipan! Commonly yellow, always delicious.
🏔️ Sunbathing in the snow, with most of your clothes still on.
🏔️ “Påskekrim”, which literally translates to “Easter crime”. Perhaps the oddest Norwegian easter tradition is watching crime shows, reading crime fiction, or listening to crime radio shows. Often older crime stories, like the ones about Poirot.
🏔️ Easter quizzes, commonly on the radio, tv, or at your cabin with your familiy or friends.
🏔️ “Påskeris”; twigs you bring in and decorate, often with wooden chickens and eggs (see the photo). Will often start to get tiny little leaves, which gives me that lovely spring feeling.
“Kids are bullied because they do xyz behaviors.”
No, kids are bullied because they are around bullies.
Just as domestic abuse victims are abused because their abusers are abusers (and not bc of the victims’ behavior), kids are bullied bc bullies are bullies.
There is not some divided responsibility between victim and bully, and if we teach kids that there is, we teach them to accept or perpetrate abuse throughout their lives.
