hi, im mayhem. welcome to hell

I'm a marine scientist/oceanographer currently studying sediment geochemistry alongside ethics and philosophy. A lot of my posting revolves around that, check out #msci posting for all the silly marine stuff. I speak English, German, and Japanese, and if all goes according to plan I'll be adding Chinese within the next year or so. If you really wanna get goofy with the marine stuff, use this link to get 10 bucks off at Gage Beasley. They make really good plushies of fish and bugs and stuff and I've helped them design a sturgeon which should be dropping in the coming months :)

I don't fandom post a lot but I do like Ultrakill, Chainsaw Man, and Guilty Gear. I'm also a furry. I need to post my art more so if y'all catch me slacking send me a line at the Book Return Slot and bully me into posting.

#fav posts, #fav posts vol 2, and coming soon to a blog near you #fav posts: the revenge are my silly video compendium. I'm working on a video compilation of all of them but unforchies it's currently over 2 hours long. God help me.

Goes without saying but I am an adult and I will post as such. I love my kitchen appliances and grocery shopping and physical media among other things.

I have spent a lot of time in Latin America, have Veitnamese family, and study postcolonial and colonial nations as a part of my ethics program. If you endorse US intervention or the military I will eviscerate you with my teeth.

I love all trans people, free Palestine and the Congo, peace and love on planet autism

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level

joeyclaire

she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”

asideoftrashplease

I was once talking to my 75 year old Chinese dad in passing about a trans friend of mine not getting along with her family and he asked why and I said err, because she's trans, dad.

He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"

Later on: "Anyway, even if she WAS the only son, that's not her problem, that's THEIR problem. They should have had more sons if they were going to be bothered about it."

Knowing what I know about chinese culture there’s something so beautifully simple about his logic of “no son to carry on family name/look after them in old age/all the other stuff? Skill issue! Should’ve had more sons! Should’ve kept the family unit strong yourself! Blaming your daughter for your own failure of family planning is W E A K!” and then he learns there are more sons and it completely breaks his train of logic because if yes to more sons then why issue?? You have two others and you’re mad you don’t have three?? Whack. Greedy.

I can already envision him as an ancient lord of a powerful house looking down his nose at the latest messenger bringing gossip from the house of his offspring’s friend and going “now they have a daughter to marry into another family for powerful alliances and two sons to take over her former duties and somehow they’re still complaining about their good fortune? They shall not survive the winter.” and then sipping his tea with all the grim satisfaction of someone about to watch an unnecessary soap opera of drama unfold from a safe distance or something

Bank of England are letting you vote for what animals you want on their new bank notes: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/help-us-design-our-next-series-of-banknotes

Pine martens are an option!

PINE MARTENS??!?

becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys

Oh my god, you can choose up to two from each category:

HOW CAN I NARROW THIS DOWN

I chose the fox as one of mine, it's an obvious choice but it'd be nice to celebrate an animal so commonly denigrated. Not that old 'foul mart' has had much of a fun time of it historically either.

Some interesting options here in general, they've not just gone with the obvious animals.

becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys

I ended up not choosing the fox, purely because I actually reckon it's going to romp home - for all the controversy, it's the most common wild mammal people see in urban centres, and it's charismatic

I went pine marten, as I've been involved in helping their reintroduction to Wales, and then I wrestled with myself for an Age before finally going hedgehog.

Birds: puffins were the easiest choice. The UK - and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in west Wales specifically - has a significant portion of the global breeding population of puffins, thanks to Skomer and Grassholm islands. In a country with the biodiversity depletion we have (bottom 10% of countries globally for biodiversity), the islands of Pembrokeshire are almost obscene in how high their biodiversity is, and it's for breeding specifically. We can be justly proud of those. Plus, puffins are fun clowns.

And then I agonised about the others until I finally went for the Great Spotted Woodpecker, a bird I do periodically see and get excited about every time

The Lumped-Together-Others: the bumblebee, you have to. I adore bumblebees.

And then I went for the marsh fritillary, because it's super endangered and I'm an environmentalist with a specialism in habitat management and ecology, and therefore spend a non-trivial amount of my time explaining how to manage for the little assholes.

But MY GOD it took me a while

dmsp was like those old movies that were absolutely stunning and had a really captivating sense of magic and color that we cant really capture today and then you google it and the wikipedia reads out how the filming killed like 30 people and permanently wounded 6 others
