dear people who complain about cashiers asking you to join rewards programs or donate or shit,
we literally get judged based on whether or not we ask and that person with a judgy face standing approximately 13 feet away is a supervisor who will shit all over my grave if I do not ask you the appropriate questions so just chill and be like “nah sorry” instead of being a lil bitch about it thanks bye
I can verify this is all truth.

Keira Knightley poses topless in stand against photoshopping: When you’re the recipient of one of the most egregious cases of image manipulation of recent years, you’re going to have good reason to dislike the practice. Knightley’s chest was infamous enlarged on the poster for 2004’s King Arthur, seen below, and her distaste has clearly stayed with the actress over the last decade.
In an interview with The Times, Knightley explained her reasoning behind the shoot for Interview Magazine:
I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch, because it does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are… I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters…
I think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. You need tremendous skill to be able get a woman’s shape and make it look like it does in life, which is always beautiful. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape…
Whilst Knightley’s actions are admirable and well-intentioned, and it is shocking that even some like her (who is as close to the white, western media’s unfortunate image of beauty as possible) get warped to ridiculous standards, you’ve got to take “different varieties of shape” with a pinch of salt, as the image of a pretty, skinny, white, cis woman posing topless - retouched or not - is fairly prevalent throughout our society. Were this a female celebrity not fitting any of those categories, it’d be a slightly more brazen, revolutionary move.

Sleep ‘boosts brain cell numbers’
Scientists believe they have discovered a new reason why we need to sleep - it replenishes a type of brain cell. Sleep ramps up the production of cells that go on to make an insulating material known as myelin which protects our brain’s circuitry. The findings, so far in mice, could lead to insights about sleep’s role in brain repair and growth as well as the disease MS, says the Wisconsin team. The work is in the Journal of Neuroscience. Dr Chiara Cirelli and colleagues from the University of Wisconsin found that the production rate of the myelin making cells, immature oligodendrocytes, doubled as mice slept. The increase was most marked during the type of sleep that is associated with dreaming - REM or rapid eye movement sleep - and was driven by genes. In contrast, the genes involved in cell death and stress responses were turned on when the mice were forced to stay awake. Precisely why we need to sleep has baffled scientists for centuries. It’s obvious that we need to sleep to feel rested and for our mind to function well - but the biological processes that go on as we slumber have only started to be uncovered relatively recently.
