“We ourselves are responsible for what happens to us, whether or not we can understand how. It follows that we can change what happens to us by changing ourselves; we can take our destiny into our own hands.”

What puts you on a high timeline:

sharing, loving, giving, speaking kindly, genuine contentment for the present moment, appreciating everything that’s already here in the “now,” having faith, letting go of ego, trusting/surrendering to your higher self

avoid “wanting,” expecting something from outside of you as a source of happiness, gossiping, complaining

A statement for All To See

Just to be clear this account is pro Palestine and me personally I feel like I could do more to support educating people on what's going on not only in Palestine but also in Congo and the Sudan. Now another thing is that I live in America so I will also be talking about what's going on here in Congress and the House and how it ties into what is going on over seas.

Pulsar Discoverer Jocelyn Bell Burnell Wins $3 Million Breakthrough Prize, And Donates It To Fund Women

Pulsar Discoverer Jocelyn Bell Burnell Wins $3 Million Breakthrough Prize, and Donates It to Fund Women and Minorities in Physics

In 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered pulsars while working as a PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Pulsars are fast-spinning stellar cores left by supernovae, which periodically beam electromagnetic radiation; you can imagine them as cosmic lighthouses (band name, anyone?).

She observed those pulses with a radio telescope, that was initially designed by her thesis supervisor Antony Hewish for monitoring interplanetary scintillation. The discovery won a Nobel Prize in 1974, but for Hewish and radio astronomer Martin Ryle… while Bell was excluded.

Nevertheless, Dame Jocelyn has a 50-year career behind her, and has contributed to teaching and leadership. Now, her work is recognized with the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.  

“Until that moment, no one had any real idea how neutron stars could be observed, if indeed they existed. Suddenly it turned out that nature has provided an incredibly precise way to observe these objects, something that has led to many later advances,” said Edward Witten, the chair of the Breakthrough Prize selection committee,  about the discovery in a statement.  

“The plan is, broadly, to use the money to fund research students — graduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups in physics,“ the professor herself told Space.com.

This is actually how I met a dear friend of mine. I was on the train to class when some guy in a PRISON UNIFORM (in Australia the uniforms are green and look kinda like nurses scrubs) starts asking questions about me like where I'm going, which TAFE (basically trade school) I go to, what classes I take ect. He tells me he just got out of prison and he's getting out at the same station and I should get coffee with him.

At this point I'm afraid to move and my stop the still ten minutes away. Just as the guy is about to ask where I live, a girl walks and says to me "Hey! I thought you said you missed the train sillybilly. Lucy wants us to get off here and met her at the music store". So I follow her out and she grabs my hand and we run into the next train car. The guy tried to follow but didn't see us re-enter the train so he's left on the platform.

The girl turns around and says "Are you ok? That looked creepy and thought you might want help. I heard that you go to the TAFE as me so I'll walk you."

Ever since the girl, Heaven-leigh, and I have been close friends and always met up on the train to class to look out for each other.

Don't be afraid to help someone in this way. As someone who was saved by this method, I can tell you that the person you help will be so grateful that you were there.

It's not just girls being harassed by creepy guys that need this but anyone who is being harassed. Like a Muslim women being insulted for her religious beliefs, a teenage boy being bullied, an open member of the LGBTQI+ community and anyone else who is scared and cornered.

We are all human beings and no one should be afraid to go about their day. A simple conversation, even just a few words can help someone get out of at best an uncomfortable situation and at worst a life threatening situation.

Happy is easy when you know what to do. You got to love the world, try to be a friend. When someone asks just tell them again. - Austin Roberts "Love the world"
