Note: fuck TERFS if I accidentally reblog their stuff, be assured it’s accidental. Onto introductions : My name is Carina, I am a Norwegian woman, I am into tabletop roleplaying, general nerdities, art and BJDs. I'm going to be honest, I'm bad at tagging, not because I'm an asshole on purpose, but rather I forget, especially when Reblogging, I tend to appropriately tag my own posts when I make them. So if you follow me, you will eventually get some nsfw and other things on your dash, if that bother you, I totally understand if you unfollow. I'm trying to get better, but I do often fail. .................................................... For those of you who are in a discussion with me or roleplaying with my characters. . I do get rather exhausted with writing too much, especially lengthy discussions, I have always struggled expressing myself with writing (to the detriment of my dreams of being an author), so please don't think I am being rude on purpose when I take a long time to answer you. Chances are that I will answer more often on short posts that does not go into deep issues. This does not mean that I don't like to talk with you guys, I really do, I just want tumblr to remain a fun part of my life not feel like a burden or a job. . I am also not on tumblr so often in the weekends, so I might not take part in any discussions at that time. . Thanks for understanding .  If I post recasts it is by accident, please tell me if you see any on my blog
do you all remember during the 2016 republican presidential debate when they asked the candidates what woman would you put on the $10 dollar bill and like all of them said shit like "my mom :)" or "my wife" like how did everyone not realize what a joke this white protestant country is right then
Avandra is the only god that doesn’t have her own divine dominion, and the only god that makes her permanent home on the Natural Plane.
She most often appears as a human, half-human or halfling. The only constant of her appearance is that she always looks like a foreninger. If she is in a cold mountain climate, she might be dark skinned and slim, if she’s in a dessert climate, she might be light skinned and stocky, and so on. She always carries the appropriate clothes and equipment though.
Many adventurers have met her as a stranger, asking to share a camp site over night, but few have realised the significance of such a meeting as she always conceals her divine nature.
Though she lives on the material plane (to the annoyance of certain other gods), she is still tied by divine laws, so she is limited in how much she can directly influence the lives of mortals. Most of the time she can’t fight directly on their side or against them, but she might be at just the right place at just the right time to give someone just a little nudge in the direction they need to go.
Friendly reminder that Fenrir is not "the Norse Satan" nor is he an evil figure. Fenrir is simply an inevitability; For the cycle to begin anew, the world must be consumed.
Fenrir represents destruction but also rebirth and breaking free of your chains - if you wish for strength to fight against your abusers or the power structures that keep you oppressed, act with Fenrir in mind.
insulin has been mass produced (from animal extracts) since -1923-. slow acting insulin has existed since the ‘50s, and ‘human’ genetically engineered insulin (derived from E. coli bacteria) has existed since 1982.
insulin treatment for diabetes is not some new or ‘unproven’ treatment. according to beyondtype1, “Humalog rapid-acting insulin came on to the market with a list price of $21 a vial in 1997.” adjusting for inflation, a vial these days should cost about $34 at most. instead, it costs over $300. there is NO reason for it to be steadily gaining in price to the point that diabetics are unable to afford their lifesaving medication, other than the sheer inhuman greed of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
let me reiterate: life without insulin (for Type 1 diabetics in particular) is a slow and painful death sentence. the ability to treat diabetes is a relatively modern phenomenon that has allowed countless people to live full, healthy lives. we should be expanding full covereage and access to insulin to diabetics the world over, and it should be FREE.
“ We’re a team of biohackers with a variety of backgrounds, and skills, and relationships to insulin and diabetes from many cities and countries around the world, including Oakland, California; Baltimore, Maryland; Paraiba, Brazil; Dakar, Senegal; Yaounde, Cameroon; and Puerto Rico. We’re working to develop the first practical, small-scale, community-centered model for insulin production to make insulin accessible to all. We envision a world in which communities in need have local sources of safe, affordable, high-quality insulin, and where people living with diabetes and their communities can own and govern the organizations that produce the medicine they depend on to survive.
What We Do
We are creating an open-source (freely available) model for insulin production that centers on sustainable, small-scale manufacturing and open-source alternatives to production. We are developing protocols to produce short-acting (lispro) and long-acting (glargine) insulin, working on developing open-hardware equivalents to traditional production equipment, are researching sustainable regulation pathways to bring our insulin to the public, and are building capacities for local, small-scale manufacturing.
How Do I Participate?
Our work would not be possible without the support of volunteers, interns, and community advisors. We welcome people of all backgrounds from all over the world to bring their enthusiasm, time, connections, and experiences, both in life and in work. Our volunteers promote us on social media, build equipment, run experiments, write reports and blog posts, facilitate meetings, connect with other organizations and groups, meet with experts in the field, run virtual events, and contribute in designing tools, resources, and methods of all sorts.
Potential Partners
We welcome collaboration with other groups that share our mission―community labs, academic institutions, patient advocacy groups, and NGOs.
Donate
Your donation will help us get closer to our goal. With a healthy financial situation, we can pay for lab supplies, acquire lab equipment, recruit scientists, and pay for consultation fees for regulation and manufacturing experts.”
Listen: if you cannot be bothered to properly enrich an animal who sleeps eighteen (18) hours a day and takes delight in such simple items as crumpled paper, a piece of string, and a box, you shouldn't have animals whatsoever. Keep your cat inside where it won't die a horrible death at a third of its natural lifespan after decimating the local small wildlife population.
A world where humans have no innate magic but our pets do.
Cat magic is pretty raw and they mainly use it for getting into places they’re not supposed to. They can be trained if you’re patient, and will sometimes do favours for their owners out if the blue, but only if they want to.
Dogs have been bred for specific magic over the centuries and each breed can do certain things. Showing off your magic is an essential part of a dog show.
Horses come in horse, pegasus, and unicorn, each with their own magical talents.
Fuck knows what birds can do, I don’t trust birds.
For an obvious example… dalmatians have been bred for fire magic. A properly trained dalmatian will run into a burning building and all the fires around it will go out. Caution is necessary, of course, because they can also do the opposite. Their favourite toys are often a bit blackened, and puppies must be kept in fireproof surroundings, with extinguishers in easy reach.
The Pekingese’ magic is camouflage - they can change colour to match whatever they touch, whether a blanket, a mossy rock, or even a reflective mirror. This ability originally enabled them to hide in a robe, so their owners could take them into places where dogs were technically not permitted. The classic image of a pekingese is of it sitting outside a building, appearing to be part of the stonework… until it reveals itself to growl at an intruder.
Portuguese water dogs are canine silkies - in deep enough water they transform into curly-haired seals, and when they climb back out and shake off, they turn back into dogs.
Cats are often thought to be selfish and troublesome, to only use their magic for themselves, and for random but odd favours.
This is not the entire truth.
Cat magic is largely Watch and Ward, which is only observable in what does not happen. Cats are known to protect sleeping humans from danger simply by being present, their lamp-like eyes acting as a sort of n’est pas possible upon all possible intruders, from pests to more deadly threats.
corgi magic is banned in most public areas, and one of the few dog magics not to be demonstrated in show- allowing your corgi to perform magic in public can be punished with up to $1000 in fines, even before the costs of damage to people and property
Golden Retriever magic is sometimes considered “disney” magic, as they typically attract waterfowl and game birds. this is not always the benefit one thinks it would be, as some lines have a penchant for attracting swans! some, however, attract vertebrates of a different sort. one remarkable individual was given an honorary degree in wildlife biology for her prodigious ability to attract frogs and toads, and is currently hard at work in Costa Rica.
I’ve been a fan of the green and gold aesthetic for a while, I wanted to make some small changes at home without breaking the bank. I spray painted the #dinosaur and mirror, both used to be silver, I bought some small #plants and got some green ceramics for my birthday. Im pretty happy with it, especially because it more prominently displays some of my #animalskulls #interiordesign #interiordetails #interiordecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CPggRXalqsr/?utm_medium=tumblr
do you think we're erasing the word f*g when we don't call gay men f*g? do you call other lgbt people slurs without consent? dear god read the notes of my fucking post befoe you add dumb shit defending the word queer
No I won´t call people that if they don´t want to be called that, but lol, I´m tired of being told I can´t use the queer word for myself, and that we gotta sanitize our image least the cis het become uncomfortable on us
And thanks for ignoring the history of that word, or it´s use in academia, like queer history or queer culture. Or the fact we reclaim a word that was used against us, then we turned it around and made it a source of pride.
We´re here, we´re queer, get used to it.
Also you call yourself a bitch in your blog title, which I´m told is a demeaning word used against women. So, what you do call other women bitches without consent? So, I guess you can´t reclaim it and use it either 🤣
God these people, pretending that no one other then queer people have ever found comfort and power in claiming and reclaiming slurs, it’s a tale as old as oppression.
