a little something I wrote inspired by this post below, if you’re feeling down <3

Do you hope?

Four letters, two syllables. Hope. So small a word, yet so big. How can something as small as hope carry so much?

I will keep going, because I have hope. 

I will not give up, because I have hope. 

I hope for a world that is kind. 

I hope for a world where people are satisfied controlling their own lives and no one else’s.

I hope for a world where people don’t kill each other. 

I hope for a world where people don’t die on the streets.

I hope for a world where everyone is free. 

I hope for a world where everyone is free to learn, free to live, free to choose and free to be.

I hope for a world where living is a right, not a purchase. 

I hope for a world where everyone has a home. 

I hope for a world of peace. 

I hope for a world where people don’t drive anything to extinction. 

I hope for a world where the air we breathe is clean, the water we drink is clean, and the earth we live on is clean.

I hope for a world where food comes from farmer’s markets, where the word supermarket is antiquated. 

I hope for a world where the only Amazon my generation’s grandchildren know is the rainforest. 

I hope for a world that children don’t grow up afraid of. 

I hope for a world where people aren’t afraid to exist. 

I hope for a world where the horror of today is taught in history—because then it will have become history.

I hope for a world where the horror of today is a memory. 

I hope for a world that is kind. 

I will not give up, because I have hope. 

I will keep going, because I have hope.

I hope.

I’m so mad that a t4 bacteriophage actually looks like that and that it’s appearance isn’t made up

this is how they look in all the models

this is how they actually look

like they really fucking look like that. in real life

viruses are literally such bullshit they have the nerve to look like this and they aren’t even ALIVE

i knew a surgeon and he once told me “nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will. you never know what you’re going to find in there once you open them up” and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone’s ever said to me

[brownheadedcowbird]

when i was taking my first year anatomy lab, we’d occasionally find a cadaver where things would branch off or attach in the wrong order, and when we’d ask our prof about it, he’d just shrug and say “they must not have read the book”

[ryannorth]

When my friend was in med school one of the cadavers donated for them to autopsy didn't have a belly button, just smooth skin.

[dandelion-stuff-and-fluff]

In the past 10 years of teaching in an anatomy lab, I have seen:

- A donor with a scrotum the size of my head. When we opened it up, we discovered it was a MASSIVE inguinal hernia and a good 1.5 ft of intestine were trapped down there.

- A donor with situs inversus totalis, whose organs were a mirror image of what we normally see (ie their heart pointed right and their liver was on the left, just for starters)

- A donor whose right common carotid artery branched off the aorta waaay over on the left hand side of the body and crossed alllll the way back across the thorax to get where it needed to be.

- A donor with 4 lobes for their right lung (should only be 3). We named the 4th lobe the Lisa Loeb, but all of the students were too young to appreciate our sparkling wit.

- A shocking variety of penile and breast implants. Y'all would not believe the number of different ways science has come up to counteract gravity.

- A couple of cases of ectopic kidneys, where a kidney didn't rise to its typical position just deep to the lowest ribs and instead stayed in the pelvis.

There is probably some other stuff that I am forgetting. Take home point is: the human body is weird and wonderful and you should learn more about yours!

My contribution: client co pinched nerve in L side of neck. I asked about health hx; she said, “I've got some extra ribs on that side.”

me: “some?” (!!!!!??!?!??!???)

Some was 2, but that’s crazy enough.

[cactusspatz]

Yeah, I don't discover the anatomical weirdness but I've had clients come in with extra ribs, missing ribs, extra vertebra, accessory muscles (that's when you have duplicates - sometimes fine, sometimes not), bones connected where they shouldn't be (spoiler: if your lumbar spine is connected to your hip, it Causes Problems), all sorts of stuff. Bodies are weird!

When I lived in London there was a murder of crows that lived near me. I fed them often, they brought me presents (shiny rubbish and cigarette butts they found on the floor to thank me.)

When I moved, I’m certain they understood I was leaving because I had all my stuff and gave them lots of food and compliments.

But, they chased down my friend who lived in the next burrough over. They had recognised that friend with me several times and followed them to their house when they couldn’t find me.

They adopted my friend and it was now my friend’s job to bring them snacks and receive the presents.

This was maybe 6-7 years ago.

I visited London last year. Went to see my friend. The crows all not only recognised me, they tracked me down. We got into my friend’s flat and not twenty minutes later there was chaos on the balcony.

We open the curtains, the entire fucking murder is there shouting because they wanted to see me.

Crows are the very best birds.

THE ORIGINAL? ON MY DASH

[this-too-too-sullied-flesh]

this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

"How do people who don't drink or smoke get through a shit day" babe have you heard of ao3

[misscalming]

I hate how the common people of France àre depicted by royalists. They’re so dehumanised. Genuinely described like rabid animals with no sense or humanity. It’s so fucking vile. Lamballe is à common case of this. I’ll be the first to say her death isnt anywhere near as violent or tragic as it’s often made out to be. Her pockets itemised. They didn’t even take her belongings. They asked her to denounce à despotic queen who had conspired to slaughter them with the aid of foreign forces. She refused. Their perspective is NEVER considered! I’m not saying Lamballe deserved it, but if you don’t decentre her narrative you demonise àn entire population.

[swallowtail-ageha]

I remember finding a really good blogpost (need to find it again lol) analyzing lamballe's death and how a lot of the mythology around it is pretty much a direct descendant of the pornographic phamplets about her but coopted by the royalists to encite pity mixed with a massive dose of anti revolutionary and classist (and racist! There is one account iirc where the description goes in a great amount of description on how one of the men assaulting her was black and the contrast of his darkness against her paleness) propaganda. And its so frustrating to see it being touted uncritically over and over again by people who try to coat it in a vaguely progressive coat of paint because they will accuse you of enjoying women's suffering while spouting ridiculously misogynistic fake facts and never extending the same grace to any of the republican women.

There is also a lot of disingenuousness on the September Massacres because yeah well they were brutal. Ok we all recognize that a lot of people died. But what exactly was the cause of those massacres? Surely it wasnt a reaction to the high climate of paranoia of a nation in war that had just been threatened with having its whole capital razed to the ground to protect the royal family and co! Surely if valmy hadnt happened the austrians would have made all parisians evaquate and not commit horrible atrocities that would make what happened to lamballe pale to the woman there! The storming of the tuileries and the september massacres only happened because the ugly poor angry ignorant peasants were jealous of the royals pretty dresses!
