Tumblr Is Broken For Me, Especially My Inbox

I block blank blogs. Want me not to block you? Make a post saying you’re an actual person and not a bot. Adult, she/they.

reminder to all disabled people that you’re allowed to tell people “i can’t do that” about stuff you can ‘technically’ do but which harms you or requires a period of recovery or preparatory rest etc. you don’t have to explain the complex nuances of your condition to anybody who demands it. i’ve found it’s honestly better to give the least amount of info about your symptoms unless you trust a person a lot. you hold the power over your health information. you choose whether or not to share the details of your condition with people who might not understand.

Original hand drawn stickers! I had some scrap sticker paper to use up. :)

Bad news, friends. I no longer have a guest room.

This is Mayhem's bedroom. She stole it fair and square...

... And she's not giving it back.

Business lunch. This is from a negative in my collection and when I posted this to Bluesky previously, a sharp-eyed follower identified the likely location as the dock in front of the Lightship Ambrose in NYC!

OKAY BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THE SKELETON OF A RAIN FROG? [X]

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY DON’T HAVE RIBS

HUH

[markscherz]

Yeah frogs don’t have ribs. It’s a quick way to identify the bullshit ‘info’post about the ‘correct way’ to hold a frog. They seem to constantly mention hurting their non-existent ribs.

As a vet tech very used to the skeletons of mammals and reptiles…. the extremely small number of vertebrae is rather discomfiting. But with our froggy friend I must assume this is a normal and good number of vertebrae

Sometimes I remember weird things from my childhood that seemed totally normal at the time but now I’m like “wait, no, that was not even a little normal.”

In other news, my family once dressed me up as a dead Victorian child to scare hotel guests.

Hi, I'm curious to hear your opinion about gabapentin use to keep a cat calm for a vet visit. I've brought my (adult, healthy afaik) cat for yearly checkups twice so far: the first time she freaked out and needed several vet techs physically restraining her to get her to cooperate at all. The second time, I was able to get some liquid gabapentin in her and things went a lot more smoothly. Over the last year she has made truly amazing progress in becoming better socialized and more friendly to strangers than she used to be, and for her checkup in a couple of weeks I'm wondering if I should give her gabapentin again or go without. Is it known if being on gabapentin actually helps soothe the cat at all/make the experience less traumatic, or is it solely for the vet's benefit? As a vet, do you think I should just give her gabapentin regardless to make sure the visit goes ok, or is it worth experimenting with going without?

*vet tech. I'm similar to an RN, but for animals.

Better living through pharmacology. Please give the gaba. It is a fantastic anti-anxiety med for our kitty friends.

Sundew gets very scared at the vet, so he gets gaba before. He gets real wobbly on it, but incredibly friendly and demands love from every person who walks by. I'd much rather my cat be barely able to walk and be thrilled to be somewhere than have him walking fine and panicking.

5001 being divisible by 3 doesnt feel right

Shortcuts to determine if an integer is divisible by:

This is a given.

If the last digit is divisible by 2 (a.k.a. even), then so is the whole number.

If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then so is the whole number. The recursivity of this means that if the sum has multiple digits, you can add them up again until you get a single digit and see if it's 3, 6, or 9.

Like the rule for 2, but check if the last two digits are divisible by 4.

If it ends in 5 or 0.

If the rules for both 2 and 3 apply.

No shortcut. Alas.

Like the rules for 2 and 4, but check if the last three digits are divisible by 8. (Yes, this pattern keeps going for 16, 32, etc.)

Like the rule for 3, but the sum of the digits (or the sum of the sum of the digits, etc.) must be 9.

If it ends in 0.

#THIS POST IS WRONG 7 DOES HAVE A RULE FOR HOW TO TELL IF THE NUMBER IS DIVISIBLE#it's just. not a short cut#you're better off dividing it and seeing if you get a whole number than doing the method

but what IS the rule @anqelbean ???

[anqelbean]

Okay, so, basically, you remove the least important digit of the number (which is the first digit from the right), you double it, and then subtract it from the remaining number. If the number you get is still large, you do it again.

For example, 294

29 4

4×2=8

29-8=21

21 is divisible by 7

Second example, 1946

194 6

6×2=12

194-12=182

182 is still large, so let do it again

18 2

2×2=4

18-4=14

14 is divisible by 7

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

[tainbocuailnge]

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

[nudityandnerdery]

This seems like a good post to include this link on:

Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still wort

Talking about popular kitchenware companies undergoing enshittification, and gives you a list of brands towards the end that are more reliable.

My favorite cat emotion is “I’m mad at you, but I must stay in your line of sight so you KNOW I’m mad at you. It is NOT because I actually want to spend time with you. I am mad. Much mad. Look at me being mad.”
