Last minute print for upcoming conventions, itâs a lifestyle.
They may see me as a weed, or a menace to society, but Iâll spread my hope far and wide and they'll never get rid of meâšforever growing out of the darkest of places. through the cracks and fissures.

In tHIS house we appreciate mega evolution as a showcase of a STRONG and LOVING BOND đ€â But how will the boys take it?
(Yes HI as you can probably tell by the panels this update took me longer than expected but I think the extra work put into it was definitely worth it :'D ) Next week follows the conclusion to this mini arc! á( á )á
Or you can read it NOW a week ahead on my Patreon!! :D Patreon | Webtoons
turns out the creator yugioh the abridged series, littlekuriboh, goes by she/her now. trans women make literally everything on the internet
You see I too often sat in school classes and thought âwhen am I ever going to need this, Iâm never going to be an engineer, Iâm never gonna be a scientist, Iâm never gonna be a linguistâ and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit
If people knew what a fucking atom is and how molecules are defined, at least a quarter of all health related cults like movements and scams wouldn't work.
"Ohh it's a different sugar than refined sugar" it's the same molecule.
"Ohhh my water filtering apparatus making beauty water and cleaning water and alkaline water" Water is H20. What you're doing is reverse osmosis, and if it's alkaline then there is a substance that's not water in there to make it alkaline. You can't purify water to a pH of 12, because pure water molecules have, by definition of how the pH system works and several phyics rules, a pH of exactly 7.
"Ooohh it has ~different~ sodium atoms." That's called an isotope and sodium isotopes aren't created by magic woowoo, and the magical ability of most isotopes is radioactivity.
"Low toxin" what toxin. Tell me their names. What are they doing. "They are endocrine disruptors" what part of the endocrine system? How? Do you have a source that doesn't try to sell you something?
"Just mix vinegar and baking soda to cleanse all the toxins of your fruits" you just created water molecules and CO2, and some calcium and acetate which don't have much chemical property. That's a science fair vulcano. And doesn't have acidic or alkaline properties to chemically influence anything. Just use tap water at this point. "My wood cutting board soaked in an alkaline solution from baking soda to clear out the toxins leaves a nasty looking soup" yeah because you were dissolving the wood with an alkaline solution. Congratulations.
"There is effective microorganisms in this ceramic bead and it can cleanse your laundry and dishes and prevent mold in your fridge and it works for years" what microorganisms exactly? How did you discover them? What are they eating? Are they resistant to 60 degrees and steam? Do they procreate in the fridge? Are they spreading out on all surfaces to prevent the mold or is it an air filtration system that works without airflow or is it just magic? "Put them in your flowers, they can reverse cavities, put them in your walls" what are they eating in my walls? What kind of microorganisms are they? Did you test the safety of those things in human bodies? Are they native to my biotope? How do they survive in those fucking ceramic beads?
"Just use vinegar it's magic" it's a mild acid. Like, cool, sure, it works for several things, but it doesn't have magic properties. It's just a mild acid. Lemon juice is too. And once again, if you mix it with baking soda, they neutralise each other and you get water. Which cleans a lot of things but you dont need to do *all that* to get your hands on some plain water.
do not get me started on how bad people are about basic electrical principles, especially this abomination

Those bracelets that say they'll fix all your health problems using negative ions?
I always assumed they were a scam because ions (an atom with an electron imbalance) really really hate existing and are hard to make.
Lots of ions are ok in water because water is super polar (oxygen hogs all the electrons so every molecule is like a tiny magnet) and therefore they'll soak up all the imbalanced charges.
Go pour salt in water right now. If it dissolves you've created negative chlorine ions! (And an equal number of positive sodium ions)! Good job on being a scientist.
But in air? Nothing polar to stabilise them.
Go pour salt on your table. It stays a solid? Good job. You've proven the atoms in salt prefer being bonded to each other than being free flying ions. You're half way to a chemistry degree.
The only way to force the creation of ions in air is a fuckton of energy. This can be electricity or radiation.
Go attach leads to a 9V battery. Put both into a cup of water. If you see bubbles you've successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen will be on the positive lead because oxygen ions are negative. The hydrogen will be on the negative clip because hydrogen ions are positive. There will also be more bubbles because water has twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms. These bubbles won't be ions though, because again, ions hate existing so they recombine into oxygen and hydrogen gas almost instantly. Still. You did technically make negative ions for a split second. Good job.
But most of those negative ion bracelets don't have batteries (which again, only make ions for a split second and require a renewable resource like water to do that with). So they must be a scam right? They're just rocks!
Nope. Remember the other way to make ions? It was radiation! Those bracelets and necklaces you're supposed to wear 24/7 to keep yourself healthy? They're made of mildly radioactive stone.
So they are splitting the air into ions (for a split second. You now know that ions hate existing so they recombine. Although sometimes they'll recombine into ozone (O3) rather than breathable oxygen (O2). Ozone isn't great to breathe in but you also presumably have been near a car so like... It's not a big deal in the scheme of things).
But more importantly!! They're also splitting your body into ions! Which are stabilised by the water in your body (remember the magnet analogy?) and therefore last a lot longer and can get up to more fuckery.
To;dr the negative ion bracelets do what they say on the label. They just do it by dosing you with radiation. And unlike just walking past a radioactive rock or getting an x-ray or a particularly sunny day, they're doing it on a concentrated part of your body, for as long as you're wearing it. And you're supposed to give these to children!!!
#and if everyone was taught how to engage with and create art then we wouldn't have such an issue with ai slop now
#where people simply do not understand what the creative process entails so they devalue and dismiss it
#striving to be a well rounded person educated on as many things as possible is good actually
#and in this era of intellectual incuriosity being normalised it is absolutely crucial
I was homeschooled but for some high school classes I went to an accredited co-op, and one of these was high school AP Chemistry
So while I was taking this chemistry class I walked into a health food store one day and saw a bottle of "alkaline water"
Well I bought it and brought it into class the next day and asked the teacher if we could PH test it, since we were learning about acids and bases, and she loved the idea of IRL applied science so we took ten minutes to do a quick PH test on the alkaline water
Guys it was so fucking acidic. It had a PH rating of 4. Don't ever buy alkaline water it is such a massive scam. I don't even know what they did to it or how you get that to happen. That's the PH rating of wine
I saw a bottle of water in the store advertising that it had a "perfectly balanced pH." Well, yeah, duh. It's water. Its pH is 7. You didn't have to do anything all that special to make it that way. You're being asked to pay extra for a basic feature of water
was doing a first aid course and it kept talking about how when applying first aid to a child you have to ask the PARENT for consent and how the child's consent is not enough unless you cannot reach the parent. and then immediately after there was a unit on shaken baby syndrome, and then mentioned abuse as a common source of children getting injured. and they didn't see the irony there. i later asked the instructor what to do about parental consent if the medical emergency was from the parent abusing the child and she was like "you still need to obtain parental consent. you can report the abuse though" not even acknowledging how fucked the whole system is. i hate it here. youth rights now
guys. Guys please you're allowed to say big boy words. please we cannot keep just rolling with the sanitization of every space on the internet ok. you're allowed to say suicide. you're allowed to say porn. they're not bad words, they're just words.
also by ''censoring'' the words with silly spellings you're actually making it much harder for people to filter out. please just say Sex you don't have to call it woohoo like it's the fucking sims. i promise the Word Police aren't going to arrest you
genuinely insane to me that bikinis are the Default swimwear marketed & sold to women. that's nylon underwear. & if you don't want to wear one people treat you like you're childish & insecure & suggest ways to "get over it"
"i feel uncomfortable with the idea of wearing what amounts to fast-drying underwear in front of other people, many of them complete strangers" "have you tried gradually acclimating to showing more & more skin? have you tried being more confident? are you ashamed of your body? don't you want to show off your beach bod?" girl what the fuck are you talking about!!!
wearing a bikini is all about confidence & self-love đ„° but remember to wax all that icky yucky body hair first!!! đ€ą nobody wants to see that đ ââïž

Stopped at the Gettysburg Battlefield site on my way down to PA!
The thing about walking around Gettysburg today is realizing that over 160,000 guys (basically the entire modern population of Bridgeport, Connecticut) were crammed into a quiet, 15-square-mile farming community for three days in July, burning through over 7 million rounds of small arms ammunition. The sheer volume of lead flying through the air was so dense that trees were literally chopped in half by bullet impacts alone.
Iâm driving down with my boyfriend and he did some on the spot interpretation of the site for me (Iâm not a US Civil War girlie). Apparently at nights pigs would roll up and eat wounded men alive.
Seeing the landscape and understanding the geography and movements was certainly striking. I really need to get my ass to France (among many other places) and view those battlefield sites.
yeah it wasn't an open field like this, it was all brambles. This is the prettied up tourist stop open casket version of that battlefield we have today.
The psychiatrist who wrote the criteria for narcissism just made an extremely important point about whatâs wrong with diagnosing Trump with mental disorders
Dr. Allen Frances says in speculating about Trumpâs mental health, we are doing a disservice to those who do suffer from mental illness. In a series of tweets, he explained why he doesnât think Trump is a narcissist â and how harmful it can be for us to keep assuming that he is.
Wow, a post where a qualified professional explains why itâs bad to misuse clinical terminology and equate mental illness with authoritarianism. Iâm sure the comments donât contain any people defending to the death their right to misuse clinical terminology and equate mental illness with authoritarianism
man i just dont know why im so afraid all the time (<- has the disorder that makes you afraid all the time)
This has no doubt been said before but it would be endlessly better for everyone if we taught children how to identify grooming behavior (making you feel special, secret keeping, desensitization to inappropriate behavior) instead of banning them from being friends with adults, especially in the age of the internet.
Social isolation is good for no one and puts kids/teens in a far more vulnerable position than the alternative.
isolation only bolsters those strategies!
*Stares into the middle distance* Anyone ever think about how a lot of normal/encouraged parenting tactics are also textbook abuse? Like...
Tracking (phone tracking apps are getting increasingly popular for parents)
Controlling appearance
Stopping a child from spending time around friends (grounding, taking away communication with people outside of the house)
Making a teen ask before going anywhere
And more that I don't have the energy to write out
The reason these things are considered acceptable for parents and abusive for everyone else is because youth are second class citizens who don't have the right to self determination
I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together
Examples:
- guy at work "Yes, and -" ing the bit me and my coworker were doing where we pretended to be owners of a fantasy medieval tavern not minimum wage retail staff
- at the gay club when Die Young by Kesha came on and two hundred people, all dancing and drinking separately, jumped up and down to make the "- beat of the drums *STOMP STOMP*" as loud as possible
- person who watched me stomp round the beach singing a made up song about breakfast foods to name a cat after and suggested more breakfast foods that would be good cat names
- guy who started a dance off with everyone across the road while waiting for the lights to change
- very tiny girl at the pharmacy interviewing everyone in the queue and every single one of us in turn sat down and answered this toddler's questions like we were on Letterman
The three pillars of humanity, in no particular order, are Joy, Absurdity, and Sharing
I was on one of those long escalators at Penn Station after getting off the LIRR. It was a Monday morning at rush hour, packed like sardines, nobody wanted to be there. Suddenly someone said, "Mooooo." Then somebody else answered, "Moooo." And then you had this entire crowd of New Yorkers all going, "Moooooooooooooooooooo" as we headed up to street level.
Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.
