Princess Zahara:

A fearless princess, destined to inherit rule of the Five Kingdoms.

A gifted warrior and a tech savvy teen, to her, formalities have always been in the way of getting things done. Still she has a bit more trouble relating to common people than she’d like to admit, but she hopes to soon be able to see her nation first hand instead of from behind the palace walls.

She’s equipped with an ancient familial magic staff and a multipurpose tool strapped to her wrist that has gotten her in and out of a lot of trouble.

Responsible and brave, she hopes to one day be a great queen, and command the same presence as her mother..

Today, I realized the need to make Spider Stories a reality is stronger, especially after this one Kickstarter story about a stereotypical comic started popping up. I’d rather see positive storytelling rather than more tales of people ignorant of a culture willing to mock it for profit. 

Make the Spider Stories animated film a reality. The brothers Agbaje need your support in these last two weeks.

A Urine Powered Generator. An amazing accomplishment by four brilliant girls. The girls are are Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15).
 
 
  • 1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity.

  • The system works like this:

    • Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
    • The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
    • The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
    • This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.

This is amazing. Give them a billion dollars right now. They may have just saved the planet. 

folks are doing a PISS poor job of reblogging this.

(I usually find these things annoying, but…)

TRUTH. STFU, no seriously, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. about how welfare recipients need to submit to drug tests, shouldn’t buy this, shouldn’t have that, should be properly humble, should do that, any of the typical classist or racist or whining fucking ranty bullshit about welfare and LOOK. LEARN. Corporate personhood and welfare BLEEDS us more than the guy next door who may or may not be cheating the system. Stop letting them turn us against our fellow real, live, breathing individuals who need a hand and DEMAND the government end corporate personhood. Capitalism/free market, MY LEFT TIT.
