Happy Pride!

Turns out I was never asexual just on antidepressants since before puberty and I repressed being a lesbian so…

if you read in a frog paper “specimen was released in the field immediately after capture” chances are very good that what it actually means is

“i dropped the damn frog and despite the fact that we fell all over each other no one could recapture it”

sometimes when i am sad i go read through the tags on this post, because they are 70% other biologists saying things like “AND ALSO FUCK FIELD MICE” and “THAT CRAB ALMOST BROKE MY FINGER” and I am reassured that I am not the only one who has bobbled a wood frog right into their cleavage.

plus six or seven people who just….can’t figure out what a frog paper could possibly be. (guys it’s…a scientific paper. about frogs.)

and this one

which made me laugh despairingly because i mean

bro you don’t even know.

what is the code entomologists use for “i stepped on it, i’m so sorry, it was dark out and the specimen was very small”

“Impromptu dissection was performed under less-than-optimal lighting conditions.”

‘impromptu dissection’ is an alarming phrase in any context and i thank you for it

What’s biologist for “the little fucker BIT me and I yote it into the undergrowth on reflex”?

“Specimen was removed from the study pool due to abnormal interaction responses”

I am reblogging this 98% for the second to last comment holy shit I’m fucking choking

I’m enjoying the tags/replies discussing the proper conjugation of “to yeet.” I am in favor of the decision that the future perfect is “will have yitten.”

Expanding this, NASA has a few gems from their report language:

“Underwent unplanned rapid disassembly” – it exploded, and it wasn’t an explosion we wanted to happen

“Lithobraking maneuver” – it stopped because it hit the goddamned ground.

“Engine-rich exhaust” – the engine bell melted or evaporated, or the engine ejected itself out the back of the rocket without having a very good reason to do so.

“Fishing orbit” – the craft is in the ocean instead of space and we didn’t mean to put it there

“Thrust was observed along an undesired vector” – the engine leaked and the rocket spun off into oblivion.

“Wearing his manager hat” – a moron who shouldn’t be an engineer (a reference to the infamous quote “take off your engineer hat and put on your manager hat” in the meeting in which the Challenger was cleared for launch)

“Received an unrequested transfer” – he’s dead.

These are pure genius and I had to make them a thing. I was going for the voiceovers that I used to hear on auto-loop working nights in a Home Depot.

it ok to not be ready

Please spread this shit like wildfire. People go on and sit through the whole experience and they’re uncomfortable because they just want to please their partner and they don’t tell them that they want to stop because they are not ready. It’s okay not to be ready.

i thought somebody else might need to hear this, because i did.

This actually happened with me and my girlfriend when we were first dating.

Now we’re engaged! :D

Communication is important.

Backseats should have seat belts designed specifically for laying down or sleeping.

suicidal people deserve a space to talk about their suicidal feelings without risking hospitalization/institutionalization or being accused of being manipulative or attention seeking

bpd isn’t just simple ups and downs it’s not just depression or anxiety it’s having total breakdowns for the most ridiculous reasons feeling like your life is over for practically no reason and crying over the smallest things it’s having one of the highest suicide rates it’s complete self invalidation, neurosis bordering psychosis feeling like you’re being torn in all kinds of directions it’s your own mind making you believe no one cares even when people keep telling you they do it’s the illusion that you’re worthless and you don’t fit in that perhaps you’ll never fit in no matter what it’s so much more than what people think it is it’s the fear of abandonment we struggle with whenever we think we’re being ignored it is horrible and makes you feel like you’re drowning like you have fallen into a body of water and you can’t reach the surface no matter how hard you try, it doesn’t matter like you’re trapped in a tiny room without any opening it makes you want to die, but also you don’t want to die it’s everything but fun, it’s not something hip people shouldn’t use it as a label to be special it’s nothing but bad and those dealing with it have to be incredibly strong simply to make it through the day, every single night dealing with the same thing again and again time and time again it’s the same old battle and it never changes by saying you have bpd when you do not have it, just to stick out you’re making the stigma so much worse, you’re making it worse for those who actually struggle with this disorder every single day as someone who deals with bpd myself I am incredibly proud of those of us that don’t give up it’s beyond difficult and I know we all know a bpd life is very difficult and at times seems worthless but it’s not even a bpd life is worth living for we too deserve happiness, and I believe we will find it if only we don’t back down you might think you’re worthless but you’re not you’re a brave person, a beautiful soul

11 Self-Defense Techniques (That Even A Child Could Use)

xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201

These are great! These are all really useful methods of defending yourself and I actually learned most of these in my Krav Maga classes.

I would have to go up against people (usually guys) twice my size and could easily overpower me, but these tricks DO work and they don’t require a lot of strength.
