Scorodite is a common hydrated iron arsenate mineral. It is found in hydrothermal deposits and as a secondary mineral formed by oxidation of As-bearing sulfides. Scorodite weathers to limonite.  Named from the Greek Scorodion, “garlicky”. When heated it smells of garlic, which gives it the name.

Seeing the Beautiful Intelligence of Microbes

Bacterial biofilms and slime molds are more than crude patches of goo. Detailed time-lapse microscopy reveals how they sense and explore their surroundings, communicate with their neighbors and adaptively reshape themselves.

Why 'Free the Nipple' is happening

If my brother goes to a beach and takes his top off, it’s a beach If I go to a beach and take my top off, it’s a nude beach

If my boyfriend takes his top off because he is warm, he is cooling off If I took my top off because I was warm, it would be illegal

If my dad was in a magazine shirtless, he would be modelling If I was in a magazine shirtless, it would be seen as porn

If a guy runs around with his top off for no reason, nobody questions it If I was to breast feed my child however, which is totally natural and not at all sexual, I could be asked to put my breast away because I was making others feel ‘uncomfortable’

PLEASE support #freethenipple because it is so so so important and will help make everyones bodies equal

So many times I’ve been told to stop breastfeeding in public and I’ve been ridiculed by family members because I breastfeed. reblogging simply for the fact that I want to be able breastfeed without people making a huge deal out of it
