HONESTLY THOUGH
THIS IS BOTH ACCURATE AND EFFECTIVE
Urgent Care is for your "Oh no!" accidents.

yeah okay ill reblog that!
Basic Fandom Etiquette Everyone Needs to Remember:
Creators do not owe anyone content. Do not ask writers when they will update.
If an author did not ask for [negative] criticism , do not give criticism.
Read the tags carefully before reading a fanfic.
If you ignored the tags and were upset, that is your responsibility, not the creatorâs.
Disliking a ship does NOT give you the right to attack people who enjoy it.
Do not tell authors or shippers that their ship is âdisgusting,â âwrong,â or âshouldnât exist.â Shipping fictional characters is not a moral failing.
No one is obligated to justify why they ship two fictional characters.
Headcanons are PERSONAL interpretations, not universal truth.
Dark themes in fiction do not equal real life beliefs or intentions.
Leaving kudos or short positive comments genuinely matters.
Not every fanwork is made for you, and that is okay.
Scrolling past content you dislike is better than engaging negatively
Enjoying a fandom later than others does not make someone less of a fan.
Disliking a fanfic does not entitle you to announce that to its creator. Sending hate comments to authors is NEVER justified, even if you disliked the work.
thank you ao3 for being an archive and not an algorithm. thank you for letting me like things without consequences, thank you for being free with no ads, thank you for having lawyers to defend our freedom of speech. thank you tag wranglers. thank you to all authors and thank you ao3
i drew the creature
reading progressive sex ed caricatures with accurate and detailed and realistic diagrams of sexual organs + shows their variation, but all i can think about is how there is no discussion of what srs is besides the fact that it exists
how may people know the before and afters of vaginoplasty? phalloplasty? meta? how it works at all?
this one has been passed around recently from the mayo clinic and that actually makes me so happy because how many of transfeminine people are aware of what their options even look like?
thereâs a diagram for phallo and meta from springer link(i believe) and. honestly iâd never seen these before and i dont think iâve ever seen any diagrams. i know vaguely because of reading papers or listening to people talk about their experience but iâve never seen it, yk? it makes me more confident in my choice to get meta when iâm older
Thereâs a website called Transbucket that has a whole archive of before and after photos, surgery costs, surgeon names and locations, and general feedback on complications, sensation, everything. Itâs been around for at least a decade, and there are photos of some folks five or eight years down the line. Itâs organized by procedure, and itâs very comprehensive. Itâs NSFW of course but itâs an amazing resource!!!
Are you considering or have had transition care? | Transbucket.com
Demystify transition! Break irrational medical fear!
They should add "On Horseback" option to Google Maps. For writers.
"Hevoslinja" (Trans-Horse) is a European art project started in 2014 by Finnish artist Eero Yli-Vakkuri - according to his own words 'skilless in riding and afraid of animals' at the start.
The aim of the project was to travel 270 km / 168 miles between Helsinki and Turku in Finland, and to highlight the possibility of horse travel in modern society. Since then they've took to promoting horseback efforts in urban landscapes with several European collaborators and artists.
Yli-Vakkuri and collaborators first spent eight months practicing riding to become safely self-sufficient in saddle, and bought a Finnhorse gelding Toivottu Poika ('Awaited Son'). The route followed, as closely as possible, the old coastal royal country road of the premodern era, Kuninkaantie/Suuri Rantatie, and took 9 days.
Toivottu Poika is a very average example of his breed, standing at some 155 cm / 15.1 hh tall. The Finnhorse is a relative of for example the North-Norwegian Lyngshest breed, the Icelandic horse, the Swedish Gotlandsruss pony and the Estonian landrace horse and Tori horse breed. It is a mid-sized light draught and trotter, a sensibly realistic mediaeval country travel horse equivalent.
For more hardcore short-term treks, looking into competitive endurance riding can be helpful. Mongol Derby might be one of the most intense races, as it recreates the Chinggis Khan era postal system of swapping horses continuously over a 1000 km / 620 mile route.
By only including skilled endurance riders, keeping up a constant fast speed and swapping horses every 40 km / 25 mil, the Mongol Derby route only takes 10 days even though it's several times the length of the Trans-Horse project. This is the speed of highly organised imperial messengers with the supporting cultural infrastructure, professional marathon runners where Yli-Vakkuri and Toivottu poika were leisure hikers.
The Mongolian landrace horse is a very distant relative of the breeds above, but much lighter and smaller than the agriculturally focused modern Finnhorse - typicaly standing at 142 cm / 14 hh at most. (This would've also been common for Finnhorses before the 19th century.) What really differentiates them from Western breeds, however, is the way they're trained and raised in semi-feral herds, and it's said that while the rider may decide where the pair is headed, the horse is the one to decide how to get there.
also it's not quite google maps, but there is a lovely site called Viabundus!
the last i checked, the map of roads stretches from Calais, France to Moscow, Russia west to east and from KoĆĄice, Slovakia to Tornio, Finland south to north. it doesn't cover all of Europe, for example Sweden and Norway are empty at the moment, but it is quite extensive and still being worked on! in addition to showing the old roads, you can calculate the distance and travel time from one city to another, and there are a lot of options:
and that's not all! here's a description from the site itself (emphasis mine):
"Viabundus is a freely accessible online street map of late medieval and early modern northern Europe (1350-1650). Originally conceived as the digitisation of Friedrich Bruns and Hugo Weczerka's Hansische HandelsstraĂen (1962) atlas of land roads in the Hanseatic area, the Viabundus map moves beyond that. It includes among others: a database with information about settlements, towns, tolls, staple markets and other information relevant for the pre-modern traveller; a route calculator; a calendar of fairs; and additional land routes as well as water ways."
it's quite neat and also free! i hope someone else finds it as fascinating and cool as i did :)
I think I might be about to send a deranged email

Chocolate package that says "imported from belgium", does cacao grow in belgium? No? Where does it grow? Congo, Ivory Coast, and Ghana? Brazil, Venezuela, and Peru? So why doesn't the package say imported from those places instead? Oh it's because all the peocessing is done in the imperial core and then they prevent those countries from being able to domestically process and export instead only allowing them to export raw materials and then forcing them to import the very products made from their exports except now it's marked up thousands of times.
gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:
the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative
a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think youâve fluked your way through every success and youâre gonna be Exposed as a Fraud
never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to
reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now
dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this
feeling like youâve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)
being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit
I seriously do not get how people don't understand this. The absolute dependence so many have with AI, so quickly, is utterly baffling. They've completely given up all thought, all pursuit, all effort because it's the Cool New Thing. We will NEVER be able to look at content online any more without thinking "Is this AI?". From funny voices and videos of famous people playing CoD, to fake smear campaigns, product placements and scams using those very same voices and faces. How about academics? Why bother writing a paper on a subject when AI can do it for you? Teachers not bothering to create course work because it's easier to have an AI plan a lesson for you. Doesn't matter if the information is incorrect because the person checking the work isn't real! It's yet another AI, working off of the same bungled data that yours spewed information from. People are giving up the very idea of THINKING, of CREATIVITY and CONNECTION to a machine purely for the sake of convenience. Tech-bros stopped reinventing the train for once, instead they created The Torment Nexus We all thought it was going to be some over the top, horrid machine of endless pointed blades. It's not. It's a recursive river of information, slowly poisoning itself on it's own bad data while people unknowingly or without care, drink from it deeply. People will suffer, knowledge will be lost and those terrible few will use it to obscure their crimes more so than they already do. Please, don't use AI. Be human. Struggle. Grow.
just found out the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie where he's MPregged by Danny Devito with Emma Thompson's baby came out the year I was born, this movie is 30 years old, pregnant Arnold Scwarzenegger throwing a man across the room while saying 'my body my choice' happened 30 years ago

Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.

The term "incel" and the concept of "involuntary celibacy" was coined in the late 1990s by a teenage girl who made a forum for lonely people of all genders and sexualities to support and encourage each other to find love and happiness. She only learned what the concept had evolved into when reading a feminist magazine that had an article about mass murdering incel Eliot Rodger.
When Alana started a website for lonely people struggling to find love, she had no idea where it would lead.

He was giving an interview on salt flats when the interviewer went "hey are you the Currey who killed the oldest tree?" and he quite literally ran away.

The bloke who created chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) reportedly invented them to make up for the fact that he'd previously invented leaded petrol.
Before CFCs, air conditioning and refrigeration used chemicals like ammonia, methyl formate and sulfur dioxide as coolants - which were highly toxic, flammable and/or explosive.
Poor bloke thought he was doing a good thing.

The scientist (Dave Mech) who wrote the book that popularized the idea of alpha and omega wolves has since come out and said that his observations were based on a flawed study of the behavior of unrelated captive wolves. Wild wolf packs are typically family units, composed of one breeding pair and their multiple litters of varying ages. Some larger wolf packs may occasionally have more than one breeding female if one or more of the original pair's daughters have a liaison with a wandering male or some similar situation occurs. Point being, wild wolf pack dynamics are more complicated than "weak omegas follow the strong alphas," but also a big part of the reason the non breeding members of the pack follow the breeding pair is because that's their mom and dad! And when they want to make their own pack, they leave!
âYou think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?â
Wrong!!!
I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too
I love immigration
