The shoebill is primarily a silent bird, but one of the few noises it makes is a machine gun-like bill-clattering, generally used by members of a nesting pair to communicate with each other and their nestlings.  Shoebills may also utter croaking sounds, cow-like moos, whines, and nestlings may beg for food with hiccups.

[heartbeatemoji]

i love animals and i have nothing against this bird but also the size of it… the way it moves? the way it gazes at the camera/the person holding the camera? this creature is so singularly unsettling to me and i would really die of fright if it turned towards me to make that noise

[babyfairy]

this is really the worst thing i’ve ever seen

[carbink]

this bird houses a human soul

[ororomunroedontpullout]

[hexlessonesie-deactivated202002]

Capitalism will put the bill on your grave and harass your grieving family until they pay

hello everyone, i’ll get straight to the point— my friend is stuck in Iraq because her parents tricked her into a one way trip. she was told that they would just be visiting family and vacationing, but by the end of the trip when they were supposed to start leaving, it was clear they were not going anywhere. her father ripped up her passport in front of her and now she is in need of a new passport, taxi funds to get to the US Embassy in Baghdad, money for a hotel to stay in, and a plane ticket. not to mention, when she comes back to the US she won’t have anywhere to stay or any of her belongings anymore. if you could DONATE even just a little bit, it would be greatly appreciated. please reblog this. some friends and i helped her make a gofundme because she’s unable to do so, here is the link, again PLEASE donate: https://www.gofundme.com/tricked-into-a-one-way-trip-to-iraq?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=campaign_title&utm_campaign=donation_receiptv5

here’s a link to a twitter thread she was able to make with more information & proof as well: https://twitter.com/AmnaShawi/status/1078970647848673280

[geekandmisandry]

A woman working at an OB/GYN office, who was a breast cancer survivor, asked Dr. Barry W. King to look at a lesion on her vagina

The woman was concerned her cancer returned so she turned to King for help

King examined her, and afterwards told her to have her husband look at it later 

Once home she used the bathroom and noticed the toilet paper was purple

She recognized the purple as gentian violet, which is a dye used to treat different medical conditions but thought it wasn’t used anymore

When she went back to work, King acted giddy and confessed he pranked her 

She realized King also told several other people she worked with about the ‘joke’

She said in court she believes he was hoping she had sex with her husband and that it would dye his penis purple as part of the prank 

King took a plea deal, pleading guilty to harassment and got to keep his license

lowkey cis men should not be ob/gyn’s. too many men are fucking trash like this dude.

[beesplosion]

Just another reason to never see a cis man for ob/gyn services

Teacher fired for refusing to use transgender student’s pronouns

A Virginia high school teacher who refused to use a transgender student’s new pronouns has been fired for insubordination, according to the school system.

If you still don’t understand why this is an issue, wouldn’t a teacher also be asked to stop if they kept referring to a cis student by the wrong gender, too? And wouldn’t they be an asshole if they outright refused? “It’s against my religious beliefs” is a nonsense reason to give. Where in the bible does it say you’re sinning if you call someone else what they want to be called.

[mrfritzteufel]

“When discussing the incident with administrators, Vlaming made it clear he would not use male pronouns. ”

bolded that for the people who think accidentally misgendering someone will get you fired. No, he got fired because he was being an asshole about it and outright refused to call the student by the right pronouns

Cool there’s been asbestos in Johnson & Johnson baby powder this whole time and they have been aware of it for decades and done nothing

[postmarxed-deactivated20190429]

@laeffy yeah you uh. Need to stop doing that immediately and maybe go to the doctor to make sure you don’t have mesothelioma

[angelbabyspice]

this is so fucking sick

[princessnijireiki]

FYI, this applies to talc & talc-based powders / body products in general— J&J knew about this for decades because talc & asbestos occur together naturally (the minerals literally grow together in nature, have similar compositions, and are / were mined together), and they’re difficult to cleanly filter out from each other.

It’s old knowledge that, unless you’re involved in mining, mineralogy, or occupational health & safety, has been deliberately buried from both the public’s and regulators’ knowledge.

CNBC’s article + their writeup on the Reuters report revealing J&J’s cover-ups go into more detail on their corporate liability and the impact of J&J’s products specifically…

…But I cannot overstate that people’s best option right now is to look for products in general that do not contain talc at all, regardless of the manufacturer, and to be vigilant in seeking appropriate healthcare (and/or legal action if required) if symptoms arise.

This goes for body use (diaper powder, chafing powder— this is where the cases of ovarian cancer are coming from), for any use where powder may be inhaled (hair, face), or will have prolonged exposure to mucus membranes (eye makeup, bath bombs, etc.).

J&J are not the only ones who have covered this data up, and companies that aren’t sued will absolutely continue to do so. Be safe & be vigilant.

[lorax177]

If you’re looking for a safe alternative, plain cornstarch is just as effective, does not contain talc or asbestos, is cheaper, and hypoallergenic since it only contains one ingredient. Use it for chafing, dry shampoo, diapers, etc.
