doctors love saying “it’s just your anxiety” to mean “I don’t have to treat you” as if anxiety doesn’t need to be treated

idk if your anxiety is so bad you have tics or repeated vomiting or horrible migraines or trouble breathing or seizures or fainting spells or temporary paralysis or or or IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU SHOULD TREAT THAT FUCKING ANXIETY!!! (and if you start treating anxiety and the symptoms don’t go away it might be that the anxiety is caused by the symptoms and not the other way around. and you should treat the underlying cause)

even IF it is “just anxiety” it still needs to be treated

it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!

You’re completely correct. Out of my way, able-bodied losers. Fuck you.

obviously there's a lot of serious ethical reasons fatphobia sucks but also it's so annoying that I can't just say "I'm huge" and have it be percieved as a neutral statement rather than self-deprecating. Like oh my god no, I DON'T mean "It's a shame I'm not smaller," what I mean is "I can throw well over 200lbs at someone anytime I want by simply jumping or flopping over, and many people cannot lift 200lbs so they couldn't even stop me"

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Been rereading a bit and this spread from chapter 59 caught my attention. We get so many people's thoughts (Coco too says "For what magic gives me the power to do, for all I strive to do with magic" in the next page), but Custas' and Qifrey's panels are silent.

And it is interesting because you've got all types of reasons like ambitious and target-driven like Deanreldy and Ininia, moral-driven like Beldaruit and (passionately so) Easthies, and personal like Agott and Tartah. And then Custas and Qifrey, looking straight at the audience from different sides, on the opposite edges of the fan-like spread, silent.

On a smaller scale I wonder if that was an intentional parallel of the silverwood thing, though that might not hold up much considering Ininia is also a silverwood host.

But I believe it was meant to show that deep down, those two are driven to magic through their main goal of surviving. There are other causes they dedicate themselves to, like Custas helping the poor people that the leech attacked (making a clear point about class inequality too) and Qifrey teaching his apprentices about how magic can help people, but ultimately, Custas wanted/wants to keep Dagda alive and not die from poverty himself, and Qifrey wants to be free of the silverwood.

I'm not saying that the other characters' goals are lesser in any way, nor that the presentation itself implies that. I just feel that for those two, their goal of surviving the horrible cards they were dealt is such a simple desire that Shirahama chose to not voice it through their thoughts, and to have them parallel each other in such a way. At that point in the story, we know of Custas' motivations, but not Qifrey's, at least not all of it. Custas' thoughts there could have been "For Dagda!" or "For equal justice!" or something. But keeping him silent right along with Qifrey can foreshadow the revelation that those two come from the same place despite their vastly different backgrounds. And maybe the silverwood thing too. Idk.

we need to have a conversation about how the "everyone is 12" theory of politics now doesn't only apply to conservative men who want to kick the bad guys' asses and then go home and eat a steak their bangmommy made just for them (NO VEGGIES!!!) but also to adult women who are literally afraid of other people having sex and being sexy. it's like there's been this massive regression among women in their 20s where we've gotten rid of feminism and replaced it with a new form of purity politics that requires never saying anything bad about another women unless you find a new and creative way to call her a whore. the misuse of "she caters to the male gaze" as a new form of enlightened slut shaming, labeling any woman who wears a short skirt or has sex with a man as "not a girls' girl" and "a pick me," the intense overreaction to celebrity affairs or even just shit like the summer house mess where a woman is now dating another woman's ex even though there was no overlap and the "relationship" was just kind of a situationship that fizzled but now these little girls are online demanding both people involved in the new relationship lose their jobs and not get any brand deals, the panic over mildly sexual content in literally any capacity like ads or an instagram post in a crop top, the compulsion to link everything back to the epstein files, the monthly meltdown over sex scenes on tv and in movies. everyone is 12 and AFRAID of sabrina carpenter.
