Well my week has been exciting so far.

[neat-deadandlive-things]

I had some other work to do this morning (Figuring out some algae stuff involving 1000 L mesocosm up a mountain) so mystery species has been sitting alone in the lab all morning…..

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Made it up to the lab today to find this. It’s probably from the fridge defrosting and not the creepy “algae”.

[neat-deadandlive-things]

June 13th Update.

According to a few colleagues it’s either a plant, an algae, or a fungi. So that’s been helpful.

After a day with some sunlight I think I might be seeing some chloroplasts.

It seems to like the nutrient solution I added yesterday though!

[lynati]

I for one welcome our new plant, algae, or fungi overlords.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I was about to say “in a sensible lab people wouldn’t waste time with this, they’d autoclave the bottles and move on” but on reflection I can’t think of a single bio lab I’ve been in that wouldn’t immediately go “ooh, mystery algae, that sounds like a fun challenge; let’s devote multiple hours to identifying it for no reason”.

[kit6]

I need updates tell me about the algae

[neat-deadandlive-things]

The mystery algae/plant/fungi/alien is stuck in the university growth chamber. With everything going on I probably won’t get to check in on it until September, possibly not until 2021.

[howieduet]

So by that time it will have developed what, writing?

[neat-deadandlive-things]

God I hope so, then I can train it to write my thesis!

[alexaloraetheris]

This entire post is the most on-brand biologist thing I have seen in my entire godforsaken life. The moment this pandemic is over these guys have another crisis ready for us.

[lucky-182]

Can we get an update cause this is crazy

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Update: Due to the global pandemic, the algae has been left alone in a weird hidden growth chamber for a year and will likely stay there for another year. Enjoy that information!

[aerosorceress]

this is the best i can’t wait for mystery algae to thrive and grow…. overgrow… whatever

[ID: A series of tweets by @/Jane Prester that read,

“If you are trapped inside by the smoke and watching your air quality steadily decline- here is somethung you can do right now to make things slightly better.

Get every spare pot/pan/container/bucket you have and fill them halfway with water, place these everywhere in your house you have the space to safely do so. The idea is to create as much watery surface area as possible- the water will gradually absorb smoke particles and clean the air. It’s small, but if you have enough surface area it can make a *very* meaningful difference over 2-3 hours.

Another thing you can do is run a hot shower until your bathtub is 1/2 filled up- leave the batroom door open. The rush of humidity into your living space will knock many of the smoke particles down onto the floor. (Do this every few hours as needed as needed).

I know how it looks but this set up has kept the air quality in my bedroom basically normal for the past 3 days. It’s an improvised solution- but it’s one that works surprisingly well and doesn’t require much in the way of materials.”

The end of the series of tweets is followed by a picture of many containers of water and a fan, domonstrating the set up described. /END ID]

Seven Friends Buy Mansion in China so They Can Grow Old Together

i hope more people do this in the future ❤️

[hedgehog-moss]

My favourite part of the article is that they formed this project years before they were able to make it a reality, and in the meantime “each friend has made sure [to] specialize in an area that would benefit all of them when they moved in together—from cooking and growing vegetables to traditional Chinese medicine and playing music.”

[iloveukmg-deactivated20190701]

a list of antisemitic dog-whistles and jokes. tldr; goyim stop laughing at these things

chag sameach and shabbat shalom!! i thought i would compile a list of dog-whistles (which are best described as “code-words” in politics) for my goyim followers/mutuals, because, while i know most of you are not ill-intended, seeing them on my dash still hurts and as such i thought it would be a good time to educate!! please be aware of the things before you post them, especially during big holidays like pesach.

LIZARD JOKES AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES: point blank this is the easiest identifiable form of modern antisemitism that so many of you igore/aren’t aware of. the “lizard people” joke stems from antisemitic and racist conspiracy theorist david icke, who argues that the world is run by a secret cabal of alien lizard people, many of whom are jewish. he’s fond of accusing famous jewish families of being lizards. remember when everyone got a chuckle out of mark zuckerburg being a lizard robot person because he’s haha funee emotionless? it’s because he grew up jewish. remember when jack black made his youtube channel and his entire comment section was flooded with lizard jokes about him and his kid? they’re both jewish. the very core of conspiracy theories themselves are built on the foundation of the elders of zion, a fabricated antisemitic text purporting to describe a jewish plan for global domination. do you see what i’m getting at here? when you, a goy, reblog relatable memez about a character from a piece of media calling themselves any variation of a lizard and tag is as “hehe mecore,” you’re contributing to antisemitism and its corresponding dog whistles. when you create flat earth meta or have entire discord servers dedicated to the moon landing being faked, you’re contributing to antisemitism and its corresponding dog whistles. if you truly want to be a good ally, especially to your jewish followers, remember this information before you subject us to antisemitism. 

BLOOD LIBEL: blood libel is also very prevalent in modern culture, however it’s not as easily identifiable as it’s not so popularly known to goyim (especially in america). blood libel is the “accusation that Jewish people used the blood of christian children in religious rituals.” the best way i can sum up blood libel in pop culture is hayao miyazaki/studio ghibli’s film “spirited away,” in which a haggard, big-nosed witch kidnaps children (in haku’s terms specifically, light-eyed children) and controls them by stripping them of their memories of their past life, including the knowledge of their names and their families. another one is tangled, in which case i’ll just link this post as it goes into really specific, very great detail. now, i love a good ghibli and disney film like the rest of you, and i’m not saying you have to completely stop watching them, but what i am saying is that understanding blood libel to its core helps you better identify antisemitic creators. 

THE ILLUMINATI/NEW WORLD ORDER: the original illuminati was coined in the 1700′s as a secret society in germany, which later became the topic of fascist propaganda in the early 20th century. the myth claimed that the illuminati was a subversive secret society controlled by nameless “jewish elites” who supposedly propped up capitalism and communism, among other things. while the modern version of the illuminati is inherently harmless and actually just pretty fucking ridiculous, the place it stems from teeters into dangerous waters. the whole idea that society is run by shadowy, upper-class jews has antisemitism written all over it.

now, these are just dog-whistles that scrape the surface. there are so many more, and not just against jewish people. the point of this post is to highlight the fact that tumblr (and specifically young white teens on tumblr) are in love with the idea that vampires are real and the 17th century is the best time period and aliens are controlling our DNA or whatever. in thinking and participating all this, you’re spreading false, antisemitic rhetoric that goes completely beyond aliens building the notre dame and delves into dangerous, hurtful territory. i don’t know about anyone else on jewblr, but i’m tired of seeing the lizard jokes and the conspiracy theories and the fucking pepes. we give so much and yet we’re blamed for things so often and given so little in return. i know you can do better.

goyim please reblog this.

Yes, Christians, “God is in control.” No, Christians, that does not absolve you of responsibility, accountability, rolling up your sleeves, digging in your heels, and doing the hard work of healing and justice and grieving together.

[thesigilwitch]

I was just about to spiral into a bad panic attack, and my boyfriend goes "Stick an ice cube in your mouth." I'm not really sure where he got the idea, and I kinda laughed at it because I didn't see how it would help, but he was insistent. So I did it.

And now I'm on my second cube, because it worked.

[thesigilwitch]

He explained his reasoning to me when he got home.

1. I would initially think "what the fuck" and be distracted from the anxiety. (Correct.)

2. The cold of the ice would shock my system, bringing me back to the physical world and reality, drawing my focus to the cold in my mouth, and keep my brain away from thinking "I'm panicking, I must be dying." (Correct.)

3. He assumed I hadn't drank much water today and wanted to keep me hydrated. (Triple correct.)

[pigeonwithaknife]

It also forced your mouth to make saliva!

When you go into fight or flight mode, non-crucial body functions stop working so you have more energy to do what you need to do to survive (oooor to spiral into a panic attack). By forcing yourself to make saliva it helps calm you down because since fight or flight is an all or nothing response, they can’t happen at the same time.

Learned that from my old therapist, who would use it with veterans with ptsd

[zoctopode]

nobody was impressed with this cause they thought it was a photo so i spent like 50 hours painting it for nothing

watching AOC grilling Mark Zuckerberg made my afternoon

[elmachetecriollo]

Wow, this is SUPER revealing. Mark Zuckerberg knows exactly what he's doing and he knows that it will make him powerful, so he straight up lies to Congress or withholds information without any shame whatsoever

[mas-alexander]

As someone who follows politics and analyzed policy, I’ve not seen someone who skillfully questions people quite like AOC. She is very adept at honing her questions to create a narrative that the lay person can digest and interpret on their own. This is why her lines of questioning are frequently newsworthy when much of congressional testimony never is seen by the public, because she’s able to elicit responses that make sense to people who don’t follow politics regularly. The right fears her because of how intelligent and skilled she is.
