many of you just. genuinely don’t believe that people can grow and change.

[houndmother]

this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.

Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane

okay but there HAD to have been some nerds on Stratt’s Vat who believed with all their hearts that Tau Ceti was resistant to Astrophage specifically because of intelligent aliens living there who’d Fixed The Problem, right??

to some extent, maybe even Yao and Ilyukhina and DuBois and the backup crew had that possibility floating around in the backs of their minds. did they spend their off-hours indulging in sci-fi that featured First Contact situations, just in case? when Stratt went on her epic pirating spree, did she take care to ensure that the swiped software included user-friendly, good-quality language programs that could hypothetically help three non-linguists communicate with speakers of a non-Earth-based language?

(which would make it extra funny, if those programs were on the Hail Mary but Grace just… didn’t find them right away, if he even thought to look for them at all. so he MacGyvered a ‘translator’ together using the tech he was already familiar with. and then much later, like 2 months before the Hail Mary reached Erid, when Grace had already suffered through YEARS of an Eridian-as-a-second-language crash-course created on the fly by an engineer with no particular background in teaching a language… Grace finally stumbles upon a “Translating a totally-unknown language from scratch for dummies :)” guidebook buried in the ship’s computer, and he has to take a moment to go bang his head on a lab table for fifteen minutes.)

and when the beetles made it back to Earth, if the relevant footage/data was actually shared far enough to reach Project Hail Mary’s supporters of the “Tau Ceti wasn’t dimming because the resident Tau Cetians fixed it” theory (as opposed to knowledge of intelligent alien life being ultra-mega-classified and locked down HARD)…

well. I imagine that at least ONE fight broke out while trying to settle the outcomes of decades-old betting pools. because yes, there WAS in fact one (1) intelligent alien lifeform hanging out at Tau Ceti! but no, it wasn’t technically a Tau Ceti alien, per se. but yes, Earth’s solution to the Petrova Problem *was* ultimately brought to them by alien science + one Viewer Like You™ working together! but no, the *original* reason Tau Ceti wasn’t dimming was NOT a direct result of intelligent aliens having already intervened. but yes, Tau Ceti was protected from the Astrophage by the direct efforts of native alien lifeforms (the Taumoebae)! but no, the aliens combating the Astrophage weren’t intelligent aliens. and so on and so forth.

#of course from a certain point of view - the ultimate winner of the only bet that mattered was Eva Stratt#because she put all her chips on Grace and oh boy did that pay off in the end

I don't think this is an appropriate response to an article about South Asian farmers losing their teeth because temperatures are now reaching 45 Celcius.

The average Tumblr blogger has such poor manners that even a pig would be embarrassed to bring them home to its mother.

When the Heat Steals Your Smile

After I suspected a climate connection to tooth decay, I conducted systematic saliva pH testing across my patient population and documented

okay so i think i found the article op's (and me in my tags) talking about. being exposed to over 40 celsius (120 farenheit or so) for the whole day means youre sweating a LOT (the article says rashid- the farmer at the centre of the text- drinks around 17 liters a Day. humans usually only need 3, so i presume the rest is mostly used for sweat). so much so that the organizm reroutes water from other parts of itself to not die of heatstroke - salivary glands included, which means that 1. they have very little saliva in comparison to a healthy human being 2. what little their bodies DO produce is incredibly acidic, falling to ~5.5 ph from the ideal of 7ph. Teeth dissolve. Quickly. There's a mention of someone losing 8 teeth in two years

im not reading the whole article now (headache -_-), but later on the author of the article says about 30 million people (employed in agriculture) are at risk for extreme dental health problems. 30 million people at risk of not being able to eat solid food. 30 million people at risk of not being able to find work. being able to marry. being able to be part of their community. being able to speak clearly

this is. fucking horrible feels like an understatement, but it is the best i have. this exceptionally, terribly inhumane, and the pakistan goverment's lack of a plan to adress this is embarassing

something about Toy Story toys is so strange to me. versions of animated characters based on real world toys, turned back into toys that are slightly different than the actual toys. slinky dog with a rubber spiral instead of a classic metal slinky. the porcelain bo peep and cloth woody turned into jointed plastic action figures. when toy story 4 came out and i saw a $30 talking action figure of forky, a character made out of a spork and a pipe cleaner, i stood in the walmart toy aisle staring at it like cameron from ferris bueller's day off staring at that painting in the art museum

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

more people need to start making OCs because I just saw a post of a woman who named her real life human baby O'lyrix and I think that child's life could've been saved if mommy had just gotten all her quirky naming conventions out on a fantasy character instead of inflicting it on someone who's gonna have to submit a job application someday
