OP turned off reblogs. But I'm glad cause what I really need is a version of this that is, like...this but with simultaneous good things happening. Like, yeah I'm barely holding things together, but also good things are coming, they just make dealing with the bad things also harder.

And also some of the good things are because of bad things? And some of the good things involve a lot of scary work and change and I don't know if I'm up to it.

Anyway, yeah that's me.

Back home for a month before I go on a vacation that was planned before my life exploded.

Heavily house hunting. Because somehow I'm responsible for finding the perfect house for three adults, in a price range I never would have thought I'd be considering. Cause it's not my money, of course.

IDK IDK things are crazy.

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother

This is the most beautiful scientific diagram I've ever seen.

Also a great example of why pink is a tint of red, but also a completely different color. Erbium? Neodymium? So beautiful.

FYI Neodymium glass (aka Alexandrite glass to collectors) appears different colors under different lights:

This image is from a great writeup of why that happens on the Jennii Neutron blog.

Oh and of course Uranium, Selenium, Manganese, and Cadmium all fluoresce under black light.

friendly reminder that skin picking, overwashing, finger biting, and hair pulling are not “bad habits” or personal failings; they are all forms of evolutionarily ingrained self harm disorder called Repetitive Body-Focused Behavior that is a natural response to high stress levels and poor quality of life caused by the same neurological processes that cause animals to overgroom when they’re kept in inhumane conditions

I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

[popsunner]

incorrectly file paperwork

"trump dying won't fix fascism" neither would a big steamy bowl of pad thai but I still want it

[pidgeling]

i’m so upset

I just realized that the reason ghosts say Boo! is because it’s a latin verb

they’re literally saying ‘I alarm/I am alarming/I do alarm!!

I can’t

[life-of-a-latin-student]

present active boō, present infinitive boāre, perfect active boāvī, supine boātum

[interretialia]

Recte!

[flightcub]

if it comes from the latin word, they’re actually saying “I’M YELLING!” which is even cuter

[grizzlyhills]

do they speak latin because it’s a dead language

[feralkwe-deactivated20210912]

get out

[monticellomarshmallow]

This is exactly the kind of content I come here for like I want to print this out, frame it and put it on my wall.

[mantisliberationfront]

I think venus flytraps should be intelligent and ambulatory. I think they should get into the cupboards. I think they should purr when you pet them.

[prismatic-bell]

OP there is an entire Broadway musical explaining why you don’t want that

[bbcwhereareyou]

There’s a Broadway musical about them, too.

[cipheramnesia]

There’s gotta be a better way to learn about things than Broadway musicals.

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back
