Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

kokkomix:

As a former student of business law, I need to share this information. This was pounded into our heads throughout the year: self defence is incredibly hard to claim unless contradictory evidence proves otherwise.

There are four things you need to prove in order to claim self defence:

1. You must use force to protect yourself when in danger of serious injury or death.
2. Unless you are in your own house, you must retreat if possible before resorting to force.
3. You must show that you did not start the altercation.
4. Finally, you can’t use more force than necessary to stop an unprovoked attack.

Darren Wilson was not in danger of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.

Darren Wilson DID NOT RETREAT.

Darren Wilson STARTED THE ALTERCATION.

Darren Wilson unloaded AT LEAST SIX BULLETS INTO MICHAEL BROWN.

There is NO VALID ARGUMENT IN EXISTENCE that can justify how Darren Wilson used self defense; and even if one point on this list may be true in his favor, ALL POINTS MUST BE PROVEN IN ORDER TO PLEAD IT.

Get off of your soapbox, and stop saying that Darren Wilson used self defense.

^^ THANK YOU SO MUCH.

This Actually Really Works

Don’t forget to share us to your friends

word?

these are good things

but sometimes you just get migraines and your brain goes LOL LET’S MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS for no actual reason so here are some helpful tips if you get one of those:

- when it starts hurting, TAKE PAIN KILLERS. something with caffeine in it helps the most. like i’m serious. the second you think “oh maybe i’m getting a migraine” take something and then do the following

- burrito in a comfy blanket in a super dark silent room. you’re going to want to stay on tumblr. fight that urge. don’t watch tv, don’t check your phone, no bright lights. they hurt.

- super magical migraine cure: put a couple scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream in a blender with some white milk and some chocolate milk. blend till it’s all nice and drinkable. if you’re like me and love whipped cream this is also a good excuse to have some of that. but actually, somewhere between the caffeine from the chocolate, magical mint properties, and the fact that it’s really cold in your mouth helps your brain calm down. trust me.

- drink some coke, the shot of caffeine helps. idk why. brain science.

- nom on some potato chips. i know that sounds really weird but chewing something like chips (slowly!) helps my face muscles relax. tension makes things worse.

- ICE PACKS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND. when you’re in pain, putting super cold things on those nerves overrides the pain signal and makes your brain just think you’re cold instead of hurt. it’s science. put them on your neck or your forehead or the top of your head, wherever you’re feeling tension and pain.

- if it’s coming from super tense neck muscles (i get those) or your neck is sore at all, rub like ben gay or icy hot on the back of your neck. helps soothe the muscles and calm down your head.

- also if it’s a migraine from sore neck muscles, adjusting the way you sit/lay down could help. just move around until you find a comfy position that helps you feel better.

these are just the things that i do, i learned pretty much all of it from my mom cause she gets terrible migraines too. also if anyone else has tips that work for them please add on :) yay headache relief

Caffeine helps because it restricts blood flow to your brain slightly, same with ice at the base of your neck! migraines are caused by too much blood in your brain at once and overstimulates everything at once!

Dr. Oz says ginger helps too.
