It's quite hard to tell when a sea creature is extinct – there's always hope it will turn up somewhere.

We see the surface of the sea: the rock pools, the waves, the horizon. But there is so much more going on underneath, hidden from view.

The sea’s surface conceals human impact as well. Today, I am writing a eulogy to the Derwent River Seastar (or starfish), that formerly inhabited the shores near the Tasman Bridge in Hobart, Tasmania. It is Australia’s first documented marine animal extinction and one of the few recorded anywhere in the world.

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal

I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart

Adding another diagnostic tool! This is something we use in the ER called the rebound test. Basically, appendicitis and cramps react differently to certain things. If you’re still not sure if you have cramps or appendicitis, take two fingers and press them into your abdomen where the pain is (try repeating this on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen just to be sure.)

When you press in firmly, it will probably hurt. Here’s the test: LET GO. Does it get better or get worse? Appendicitis will immediately hurt worse when you let go. Cramps will not. Go to the ER if the rebound test makes it worse!

THE REBOUND TEST IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

My husband got sent home from the ER with a rupturing appendix. When he came back and was rushed into surgery, the surgeon was super angry – “Why didn’t anyone do the rebound test?!”

Yea I thought I was just having stomach pain and had to be rushed into surgery! I was 20 when this happened and made it through college finals with the pain!However my pain was in the lower/middle of my stomach…I guess my appendix was in a weird spot.

Effort is the one thing that can’t be mistaken for anything else. You’re either putting it in or you’re not.

So far tonight three mice have violently flung themselves into the glass front wall of the cabin, hard enough to knock themselves out. I…really don’t want to know what’s about in the forest tonight that is making them so desperate to get inside.

Probably a fox. Maybe a demon.

Possibly a moose

I thought the moose was covered under “demon”?

Accurate.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

One of Germany’s oldest forests is about to be destroyed for charcoal!

The Hambacher Forst is 12,000 years old and the oldest trees about 350 years old and is home to many animals and plants.

But now the energy company RWE wants to clear it to get charcoal for coal-fired Power stations.

There are 150 activists that try to save it but get brutally dispelled by 3500 policemen. 17 got arrested, many got hurt.

Please, sign the petition to stop the clearing!

I’m sorry that it’s German, I hope it also works for those who don’t understand German or live in Germany.

shenannygans

It’s happening, it’s real, right now.

Another example of the police protecting business interests and not the interests of the public, or even the interests of our planet.

Please share this, sign the petitions, talk about it, it can’t go unheard or unseen.

Guys, yesterday they cleared over the half of the camp and treehouses. It was a long fight over years, but at least this is getting some more attention. I’m moved that this reached me over tumblr from people around the globe! Amazing! Keep spreading this! What we can do in Germany is boycott RWE and sub-companies like Innogy. Check your electricity-providers if they’re in touch with RWE. Germany does not need any charcoal mining. Most of the electricity is being exported to other countries. Many people don’t know anything about that, but still are against the consequences. Talk to others! Here is a good article about this: http://www.taz.de/Kommentar-RWE-und-der-Klimawandel/!5536858/

There are many policeman*women that are disproportionately violent and treating the protesters like terrorists (even calling them that).

Keep protesting!
