Great Horned Owl’s broad, but short wings make them surprisingly maneuverable during flight.

Glad to have Facebook moms enjoying my content.

To be fair, most great horned owls can’t parallel park either.

Transform a sports bra into a binder: THE TUTORIAL

Is it possible to cheaply transform a simple sports bra into a binder? Would that binder be any easier to wear than what’s on the market right now?

WE DON’T KNOW, BUT WE’RE TRYING TO FIND OUT. If you’re willing to give it a try, here’s how.

Hi to everyone asking me about boned binders right now! I’ve done a lot of research and experimentation and this is the method I figured out a few years ago.

It’s not perfect and the binders do tend to wear out after a few months, but if you want to cheaply and easily experiment with DIY binders that are a little more comfortable, here’s what I’ve got so far.

i cant think of the fact that humans send messages saying ’where are you? who are you?’ from earth to the giant and empty space all around us for too long because it makes me cry so hard and feel so human and lonely

[l2g-deactivated20240513]

things that humans have sent to space as a friendly gesture that make me cry my eyes out:

- whale songs

- sounds of footsteps, laughter and a kiss

- an hour-long recording of the brainwaves of someone who was, among other thoughts, thinking about what it is like to fall in love

- an illustration of two people holding hands

- so many sentences in almost 60 languages, including these: ’Friends of space, how are you all? Have you eaten yet? Come visit us if you have time.’ ’Greetings from a computer programmer in a small university town on planet Earth.’ ’Are you well?’ ’We are happy here and you be happy there.’ ’How's everyone? We all very much wish to meet you, if you're free please come and visit.’ ’Wishing you happiness, health and many years.’ ’Welcome home. It is a pleasure to receive you.’

[Transcription: all speech in the video is auto-tuned]

Story time: I’m a vet tech and one time I was [???] this lady for an appointment with her little dog who was covered in bugs

I searched this dog high and low for bugs, couldn’t find a single one

I said ma’am can you please point out these bugs to me

She said oh my gosh can’t you see them they’re right on his belly

She showed me her dog’s nipples and proceeded to try to rip them off

I said ma’am no stop

Those are his nipples

She said

There’s no way, he’s a boy

I said ma’am that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have nipples

Those are definitely his nipples, notice how they’re so symmetrical

She said no way, he’s a boy I said

Ma’am doesn’t your husband have nipples

[discardedscream]

I add vet tech storytime….lady brings in a kitten, terribly concerned he’s got a cold or asthma or something…he’s always making this alarming sound in his chest but he’s so active and affectionate and loves to snuggle. Neither her or her husband have ever had a cat before, so she just wants to make sure they get everything right and take good care of their newest family member.

I pet the kitten as I give this lady pamphlets and a personalized Cat Owner 101 lesson.

The kitten is leaving a great time, nearly comatose with happy in my lapm

She goes “That’s it!! That’s the sound!! What’s wrong with him?! If there’s anything we can do, we’ll do it! He’s my son’s best friend, we love him!”

I stare at her helplessly, fighting every impulse because this woman is so genuine in her love and concern for this, the first cat her family has ever experienced.

“Ma'am,” I say, so, SO gently.

“Ma'am, he’s purring. It means you’re making him happy.”

I share this as a white cis queer man, because I know most of the folks following me are white. We need to do the spiritual work to heal the generational trauma our colonizing ancestors perpetrated. Awareness is the very least of that.

11.27.20. Los Angeles

LASD spent the night before thanksgiving forcibly removing a family from a state-owned home. Police arrived with military gear to remove a family who had been squatting in the vacant home. Protesters at the eviction were unable to stop the police, but they have been begun protesting outside Mayor Garcetti’s home.

A reminder that in nearly every US city, the “housing crisis” is artificially produced through collaboration among real estate developers, landlords, and Democrat & Republican politicians, carried out by overfunded police. There is no scarcity, so capitalists create an illusion of it.

[traumatised-mum]

you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?

[anisetheapothecary]

Many people in the comments are saying “trauma”, but this is actually a very normal occurrence. It’s called Childhood Amnesia, and it’s a process which, as the brain reorganizes itself for cognitive thought that is developed in late childhood, it changes the Accessibility of those memories during recall. Many childhood memories are available to the person, but they will not be remembered during regular recall activity, you have to “trick” your brain into remembering with different tactics.

This is because there are two parts to memories - their encoding and their recall. The encoding determines their availability, their recall determines their accessibility. The reason why trauma memory and childhood amnesia are different is in this distinction. Trauma memory is often encoded differently, bypassing to the limbic system where it is stored as intrinsic memory. It can’t be recalled because it was never encoded. Childhood amnesia, however, seems to indicate that the memories are encoded, but we lose access to them as we age. This is most likely due to the development of brain structures that fundamentally change our encoding and recall of memory as we get older.

This is an important distinction, because trauma memory is “stored in the body”, i.e. you get triggers that send your body into a cascade of uncontrollable feelings, sensations and reactions. Whereas childhood memories won’t generally do that, they are just recalled at odd times with odd associations.

[malcolmcooks]

reblogging this because I’ve legit seen people freaking out when they realised they can’t remember some of their childhood, thinking they might have some repressed trauma.

[biglawbear]

So you mean my brain literally looked at my whole childhood and said “sorry that file type is no longer supported”

there is no reason good enough to arrest a 6 year old, this is purely racist

[fandom-star]

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT KIND OF THREAT DO YOU EVEN MANIFEST THAT SIX YEAR OLD CHILD HAS TO YOU TO EXCUSE THIS???

THIS IS FUCKING DISGUSTING AND PEOPLE ARE FUCKING MONSTERS FOR DOING THIS/IGNORING THIS/EXCUSING THIS

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

Imagine being such a punkass little bitch that you arrest a kindergartener for throwing little baby hands.

[blackboyjoy]

Highly recommend this book for those concerned about the treatment of Black girls in educational institutions.

Try searching for it on Bookshop.org and help support local bookshops instead of buying from Amazon. Even better if you can find a Black owned bookshop online and buy direct from them.

ADDITIONALLY: Contact your local school board and ask if the public school contracts with local police departments for their school resource officers (SROs). Demand that they terminate their contract and redirect resources plan a better way to serve their students. Minneapolis public school board did this last week.

[meangirlnurse]

anyway!! if you’re a gentile wishing you received more education on Judaism in your school system, i would recommend checking out jewfaq.org. it’s free and a great introductory resource, even if the design looks a little dated 

[meangirlnurse]

this also goes for Jews who did not receive a Jewish education or did not receive as much Jewish education as they would have liked. you are not a “bad Jew” for not knowing things about Judaism/Jewishness, and you have a right to know more about your roots.

[meangirlnurse]

i’m kicking myself for not putting myjewishlearning.com on this post, and think both websites are extremely valuable (with somewhat different viewpoints). i’d love if people would reblog this version of the post with both links but suspect the cat may be out of the bag at this point
