“More than 2,000 people are missing. Towns are practically wiped off the map. People’s homes have been torched.”

That isn’t a scene from a horror movie, it’s the aftermath of a brutal terrorist attack in Nigeria. And few people are talking about it. (via micdotcom)

Just signal boosting. Can’t forget about what’s (currently) going down in Nigeria.

According to NBC News, 2,000 people from the town of Baga in eastern Nigeria are unaccounted for after the terrorists burned down as many as 20 villages in the region. “These towns are just gone, burned down,” Ahmed Zanna, a senator for the Borno state, told the outlet. “The whole area is covered in bodies.”
The onslaught of deadly attacks started on Saturday when Boko Haram members overran a military base killing “an unknown number of people and seizing weapons and vehicles as soldiers fled,” according to Zanna.
Boko Haram the same people who kidnap and sexually ensalve women and young girls…

10 Writing Resources: Characters
From the basics to the very in-depth, these are some of the resources I go to when I’m developing new characters. Have a look at my favorites, and add your own!
1. 25 Things About Creating Characters
As a writer, creating characters is probably the most important thing you do. Get it wrong, and the story will be wrong no matter how well plotted.
2. Lessons From James Scott Bell: Characters That Jump Off The Page
Readers are engaged by characters who do not always act in a predictable way. Think of how to have your character make decisions or respond in ways the reader won’t see coming.
3. Crafting Memorable Characters
Successful main characters are the agents of their own destiny, they are someone we root for, and they grow or change during the course of the novel.
4. 6 Must-Know Tricks for Getting to Know Your Characters
Most of us don’t start writing until we’ve come up with a character we just adore. But how can we make sure this character will also be adored by our readers?
5. Creating Your Hero’s Fatal Flaw
The most intriguing conflicts are the ones that come from within people’s own personalities.
6. Five Unrealistic Character Traits
These characters have traits that are so unrealistic, the audience starts thinking about the author’s intention rather than the story at hand.
7. 100 Character Development Questions for Writers
Answer these in character, but only in a situation where your character would be 100% honest with themselves and with the person asking the question.
What are gesture crutches, and why should we avoid them?
9. The Path to Deepening Your Protagonist
Protagonists don’t write themselves. No character does. So why leave trait-choice up to the character?
10. Nine Kick-Ass Excercises to Find Your Character’s Voice
Creating unique voices for each viewpoint character is essential in creating fiction readers want to read over and over.
What about you? What are your favorite blog posts about creating characters?
Cool keeping this for later!

Hey everyone! So I’m trying to go back to school for a Phlebotomy class on January 21st (or February 19th depending), and my parents said they would pay for half. I’m trying to raise the other half (and maybe more!) in order to attend the class.
I started this campaign on January 11th at 1:40pm. Please reblog this, even if you cannot donate. I appreciate everything!!!! <3

The Ocean Array Plan. Devised by 19yo Boyan Slat, this passive system, if installed, could clean up both The Great Pacific Garbage Patch&The North Atlantic Garbage Patch. Sort of like an anchored Roomba for the ocean…
Source: http://www.trueactivist.com/ingenious-19-year-old-develops-plan-to-clean-up-oceans-in-5-years/
"Although extensive feasibility studies are currently being conducted, it has been estimated that through the selling of plastic retrieved over the five years, the money would surpass the initial cost to execute the project. In other words, it may even be potentially profitable. Because the main deterrent to implement large scale cleanup projects is due to the financial cost, this solution could perhaps pave ways for future innovations of global cleanup to also be invented.”
This is huge.
I approve of this. Hopefully a system can be set up where all profits from this project go back into cleanup efforts

Two Detectives Murdered in the line of duty 2003…. Their families received no compensation, no trumpets played.. No officers flown in from around the world.. No big speeches from Vice Presidents and mayors n shit. No Yankees college fund, Nothing……..
Black Lives Matter. That is the rallying cry. The fact that they are cops justifies the outrage even more. It tears through the flimsy justifications and reveals the racist police state for the bigotry it is. Not in the South, not in some backwater hillbilly community. In New York City. In every city! In every corner of this country. Black Lives Matter. Everywhere. Always.
