Hemlock is both natural and organic

All my normal stuff goes here Background is from Franz Eugen Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen (1887) Mobile header is mine. I loathe that I am forced to do this but since it’s now essentially impossible to just exist on the internet without people asking you all sorts of extremely personal questions: I am 30. (Although really y'all should be able to tell that anyway just by checking my blog archive, since this account is 13 years old and I obviously wasn’t watching Supernatural as an elementary schooler.)

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

[hyperlexichypatia]

People in the notes are saying "You can!" referring just to the hospital visitation part, and sure (depending). But people should have access to ALL of the benefits of marriage without needing to be married.

You should be able to add anyone you want on your health insurance plan.

You should be able to sponsor the visa of anyone you choose to move to your home country.

You should be able to name anyone you choose as the legal-from-birth legal coparent of any child you give birth to.

You should be able to apply for student aid on your own at any age.

And yes, yes, ideally healthcare and college should be free, international migration should be unrestricted, and the entire concept of legal parenthood should be rewritten from the ground up. But right now we're talking about marriage benefits.

hey um. so sorry to tell you this, but op of that post plays toys kinda weird. yeah you should just block them, that's not how normal people play with toys

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

[o0fyuu0o]

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

[sun-cheyne]

Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.

[snowriddenwolf]

just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.

[mechanicalriddle]

i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape

Could you please tag your invisible disability pride flag posts with eyestrain? I absolutely love the symbolism behind it but it gives me a migrane everytime i see it

Also have you considered making a more screen friendly version that isnt so contrasting? Like using a very dark grey instead of pitch black? I understand the contrast is part of the symbolism but as it is now its inaccessible to a lot of us with invisible disabilities

thank you for the feedback! gosh, I am so sorry- I made it high contrast to be accessible (in consultation with my partially blind friend) but if it's causing pain for some then I will absolutely reduce the contrast and make an alternative: how about this? to be honest the unicorn is the icon- you can put it on whatever bg makes you happiest!

here is a clear png with just the unicorn so you can put it on a background that best suits you!

[modmad]

hey as it is disability pride one time I made this unicorn icon as a representation of invisible disabilities- here's a post about all the what and whys about it and it turned back up on my dash today so, if you folks would like to use it here you go! it's designed so that you can add it to other flags however you would like, so you can use your pride flag of choice as a background if you want to!

[real-language-facts]

favorite type of word: names of genres that tell you nothing without context. literary fiction. popular music. interactive fiction. lets invent a new genre called experiencable media

[aromanticofficial]

I feel like a lot of "How do I know I'm aromantic?" resources focus on never having been in a relationship (god I wish that were me), so here are some signs that you might be aromantic if you are in a relationship and considering it:

• Feels like a performance, or you are copying things you have seen in other relationships

• When people comment on or ask about your relationship, it makes you uncomfortable

• After having sex, the more intimate touches/cuddles do not feel as good

• Wanting more independence or time alone

• Thinking if your partner cheated on you, you wouldn't care

• Being scared that you might cheat despite having no desire to be with anyone else

• Words like "partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc" all feel wrong, and you don't like them being applied to you

• Not having a strong feeling of missing your partner like you're "supposed" to

• Questioning your sexuality/preferences despite being confident in who/what you're attracted to

• Feeling like you're lying if you appreciate gifts or affection from them, even if you really do appreciate it

• Saying "I love you" feels fine, but it holds the same weight when you say it to anyone else

• Not wanting to tell anyone about your feelings because you're afraid you will be misunderstood

Anyway, that's all I got. I hope it helps someone out there. I'm still struggling too, but I think we will all be okay! <3

truly nothing funnier than having an archive of when you first started getting into a media that has since consumed your entire life

[aroace-polyshow]

you see an old post of yours thats dated like a month after you got introduced to Media and it says like “huh im kinda liking Blorbo Bingus? but he’s not really my favorite. he seems sillyyy though he’s neat i’m sure he’s nice :)” and you just

Ok so thanks for voting on this but i need you to reblog it too

[androdragynous]

there is a screen reader / magnification program that is the only one the low vision clinic knows of with these features and it is $650 Canadian Dollars behind specific approved vendors that require you to be geographically close to them and get government approval of a degree that I am only just now reaching after being visually impaired for going on seven years. I feel normal about this

[androdragynous]

if you can code a program that does any or all of the following:

Magnifies a display beyond standard options with keyboard / mouse movement inputs or voice commands,

Can read text on the screen,

Has different color filter options for text / background distinction,

Can change and magnify the cursor beyond standard amounts,

Works on Windows or more than just Windows,

Has a keyboard echo (says the character you've pressed on the keyboard out loud)

... there is a genuine, GENUINE need for you to code this and put it at a more accessible price point than $650 Canadian Dollars which I also just learned is a SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND NOT EVEN PERPETUAL. if you are reading this and able to code I am begging you. would genuinely change lives

Benoît Blanc is actually a reverse-Columbo.

Columbo's strategy is to hang out with the murderer and push them into making a mistake or confessing to their crime.

Blanc's is to stay by the innocent suspect and keep them from confessing until he finds the real murderer.

Is it normal for the quirky detective in a quirky detective show to say he's going to get too powerful one day and cause armageddon?
