Emily Riehl is obviously one of the math cool-kids whomst we all appreciate but I do think it's funny the degree to which she displays like, the standard mathematician "having no idea what normal people know and don't know about math" thing here.

"Rail only works over short distances" one of the most detached from reality carbrain statements I've ever read. Rail is objectively, demonstrably better to cover long distances than it is to cover short distances. Car culture legitimately gives you some kind of brain fungus.
did other Americans not get taught extensively in history about the Transcontinental Railroad and why it was such a huge deal

Why do people keep insisting on pitting bad bitches against each other like this.
They need to team up and take out that homewrecker Jolene.
Sweet, you added Caroline.
And Here's to you for remembering Mrs Robinson as well.

i think this is what jojo is about
These dudes are fucking legit. They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”
The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.
In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”
Actual tears.. hnngh
Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.
where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang
This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on
Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.
Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.”( Article)
More about BACA, from their site
My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af
They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.
What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???
NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.
it’s back! I will always reblog BACA
Damn good people.
I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them.
Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.
@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.
I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added.
Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.
Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA
They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.
I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers. So I can call them whenever I feel scared.
BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused.
And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy.
BACA has changed my fucking life.
I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.
If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I am physically being restrained against my will.
Supporting your local hero’s.
FUCKEN AMAZING what these Bikers do!!!! This is why I don’t give up on humanity…

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear biker vests.
Had seen this before, but never realised that this is on an international level - there’s even a contact address close to where I live (in Germany), very cool (though hoping the only use I’ll ever have to make of it is for donations) ❤
Okay.
I read the article.
I’m - I - don’t think this is - look.... This was written on the 12th, which was a Friday, the writer says:
“ Sir Keir Starmer will on Saturday pitch Labour - “
Meaning that he hasn’t yet. He has not actively said these words this writer is quoting on the day that hasn’t happened yet.
The Labour leader will say “I don’t care” if internal critics
Meaning again, he hasn’t actually said it on the day that this writer claims it was said.
He will argue the Tories
Again, that use of the word ‘will’, which I’ve bolded to draw people’s eyes to it. Meaning it hasn’t happened yet and this is something the writer is claiming is going to happen ahead of time.
Arguing the Tories have failed, he is expected to tell
Which means he hasn’t actually said it yet.
“Will say”, “expected to say”, WHAT HAS HE ACTUALLY SAID MR DEPUTY POLITICIAL EDITOR? WHERE ARE YOUR SOURCES FOR THESE THINGS THAT HE IS EXPECTED TO / WILL SAY THE DAY AFTER YOU HAVE WRITTEN THIS ARTICLE?!?!!
This is written the day of, on the 13th. Some lines are the same, some lines are not.
Sky News, also the day of. Some lines are the same, some lines are not.
This article from today, regarding proposals to allow settled migrants and lowering the voting age. And honestly has more information on WHAT exactly they aim to do as a political party (“That doesn’t mean we’re not embodying what I think is a classic Labour offer, I think that is fundamentally what Keir Starmer is about. A stronger set of employment rights, a better industrial policy, making the economy work for working people, rebuilding the NHS.“There’ll be limitations, of course, on any incoming Labour government there’ll be limited funds, there’ll be priorities we have to make.”)
Metro, writing as of the Saturday, does confirm several statements made in the above article. They do reiterate some of the general opinions and thoughts held by the SNP and other Scottish political parties and peoples.
Another Sky News article, this time highlighting something that is becoming very obvious to anyone paying attention, that Keir will literally say anything he can in order to secure votes. Backtracking on promises made when he was working with Corbyn, taking a hardline on refusal to permit SNP a referendum (thus forcing Scotland to choose between voting for a losing party or voting Labour to get rid of the Tories), and now with this push to try and court voters from the right.
Form your own opinions guys, but PAY ATTENTION to the words actually used. Always look for sources. Always look for a second opinion.
It is extremely common to for political parties to disclose and provide quotes from speeches in advance.
They can do this to test the waters or to target a different audience but they also do it so weekday newspapers can report and fill columns as well as the weekend newspapers.
So all of the ‘will say’ is entirely normal, and were provided in advance in a press release.
