Do you ever feel like your time spent or your contributions to this world are so mundane that no one in the future would care?

You, dear reader, are absolutely wrong.

In the future, everything we do and our attitudes about them will be fascinating. In fact, we should be writing everything down somewhere, because we are laying the foundation for all the wonderful innovations soon to come. WE WILL BE ADORABLE.

Check out his Tumblr thread that illustrates this point.

Just-Shower-Thoughts posted a thoughtful question.

Libertarian –princess had a thoughtful answer.

Kaitoukitty chimed in with another more recent and maddening example.

Elidyce emphasizes what a shame this all is.

And xxvioletlovexx sums it up perfectly.

So, if you think you’re living the most boring life ever, please write down every bit of it.

You are going to be a hero one day with your,

“Dear Diary, today he wore green and blue plaid socks that were the cutest.

As our bus drove us across our little town of Flapjack, he continued to read “Little Women,” and I swear he saw me watching him while I ate my ham and cheese, with a dab of spicy mustard, on rye.”

Critically important information.

When we talk about race in America, it’s not all that often we have a chance to tout something great, as far as statistics. We have a long way to go to even get close to equality, but in one aspect of life, at least, black women are winning – they’re boss at being, well, the boss.

Starting a business and committing to being self-employed, are tough calls that require enormous leaps of faith. If you’re savvy, if your idea is solid, and if you’ve got a good head for marketing and sales, you’ve got a shot. And in America, women across the board are taking more of those leaps than their male counterparts and landing them successfully!

In the past year, female entrepreneurs have started an average of 1817 new businesses a day – 663,205 new companies a year – and women of color make up 89% of those founders and CEOs. The number started going up around five years ago and hasn’t stopped, meaning that women represent around 42% of the self-owned businesses in the US.

Increases in educational and economic progress are partially to thank, but Kathy McShane, of the US Small Business Administration’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership, thinks that a societal shift could also be underlying the change.

“Women have been taking control, frankly, for centuries. But now we’re talking about it.”

Even though women are starting more business, and women of color are representing a large portion of those numbers, men still receive the largest bulk of financing for new ventures.

Last year, women were only approved for 2.8% of all venture capital funding for new businesses.

So, one of the biggest hurdles still faced by women of color is amassing the capital to turn their idea into a valid business.

Esosa Ighodara, founder of the social media shopping app CoSign, said as much in an interview with Inc. magazine.

“There’s this notion that we don’t exist. Entrepreneurship is very lonely, and even lonelier in minority community.”

Ighodara attempted to address the dearth of support about the lack of diverse representation in business by creating Black Women Talk Tech, which encourages and supports black women looking to start their own businesses.

According to Natalie Madeira Cofield, the founder of Walker’s Legacy, which is a national network for women of color in business, has her own ideas about what prejudices are at play.

“People invest in people they feel connected to, and the majority of those in power don’t necessarily get a Black woman.”

A study conducted by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation backs up her claims, finding that first-time black business owners receive almost three times less overall capital than white-owned businesses and are also three times less likely to be approved for loan requests, regardless of their credit score or net worth.

@jasminecrowe “Every year in this country, 42 million people go hungry. Yet at the same time, we waste 72 billion pounds of perfectly good food,” she continues. “And that’s when I decided that there was a big opportunity for Goodr.” @goodrco The solution was blockchain, an emerging technology that acts as a secure ledger. It means that companies can not only securely track the donations of their surplus food, but they can also realize significant tax deductions using Goodr’s IRS-compliant platform.

One of the reasons women of color are flocking to entrepreneurship is that they’re more likely to experience workplace harassment than any other group. 52% of these new business owners worked at corporations prior to opening their own business, and quit because they were in some way dissatisfied with their experience. They’re making their own opportunities because they’re not afforded the same ones, at the same frequency, as their white and/or male counterparts.

Despite all of this, black women are not only choosing the tough road of going out on their own, they’re succeeding, too. Women, it seems, have had enough. Despite the lack of support, the active attempts to keep them down and out and at home, they’re pushing up and through and going around – whatever they have to do to build the lives they want.

So three cheers to all of the women entrepreneurs out there – but especially the black women (and other women of color), because we all know it was at least twice as hard for them to make it.

Do you ever feel lazy? I do sometimes. Like for instance, I found this collection of lazy memes and I wanted to share them with you, but I’m supposed to write an introduction to it first, and that just feels like a lot of work right now. Hmm. What’s the laziest way I could write this listicle? Let’s see.

Webster’s Dictionary defines “lazy” using words, probably. I didn’t look it up.

Memes are good. Tweets are funny.

Wanna look at em? (Nailed it.)

10. The void stares back

9. Does sleep count?

8. I know how to cope

7. By “plans,” I mean “pillows”

6. It all adds up

5. Workplace etiquette is important

I love when people at work tell me they’re just “stepping out for lunch.” I am 45 minutes late every day and watch television on my phone. I do not care what u do

— Rebecca Weiser (@rebweis) February 27, 2020

4. It’s called social distancing

Having friends is cool and all but have you ever cut everyone off and disappeared for like 6 months

— Amanda (@Missamandatrout) November 17, 2017

3. This minute is a long day

I hate when I’m 20 minutes into my run on the treadmill, and I look down and the time says 43 seconds.

— Tyler Meyer (@Tyler__Meyer) December 12, 2019

2. While you’re out there could you grab me a beer?

If I had a stalker they would be so bored. Like bitch, you've been in bed all day. Are you ever going to leave? Do you have any plans? No?

— Michael Tiberi (@michaelisbasic) January 31, 2017

1. A penny snoozed is a penny earned

If you sleep till noon you only have to pay for 2 meals instead of 3

— Colten Harris (@HarrisColten) February 20, 2017

In conclusion, this is the end part that I wrote. I hope you enjoyed my very good and not at all lazy work. Goodnight.

What’s the laziest thing you’ve ever done?

Tell me about it before my hand falls asleep on the keyboarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Stories about God are pretty big in this country.  According to one survey, 87% of Americans own a Bible, but only about 20% have actually read the whole thing. There’s a good reason for that: it’s a really, really big book. Like, over 1,000 pages in super small font big. If you read one chapter every single day, it would take you over three years to finish.

Since so few of us have actually read it cover to cover, it can be hard to know what came from that book and what came from nowhere. These tweets are definitely the latter. I think. But until I finally finish the good book, I can’t know for sure. Here are 10 alternate Bible passages for your theological enjoyment.

10. The Banning of the Unicorns

GOD: actually, scratch that
ANGEL: no unicorns… got it
GOD: aww, what the hell, put 'em in the ocean

4. The Humblefly

God: you’re gonna be beautiful your whole life.

Butterfly: yeah I better be.

God: [to Angel] I don’t like his attitude make him an ugly hairy worm for half his life.

— Oops!…I Dad It Again (@NewDadNotes) December 21, 2018
