I have cochlear implants and I can only buy parts to fix them or upgrade then from 1 corporation bc of tech exclusivity. upgrades to get new processors for both ears cost $23k & insurance only covers 90% (and it’s “good” insurance)

Couldn't stop thinking about that tweet, I love the idea of a god promoting his faith.

Are you alright, honey? You've barely put your blorbo in situations
Okay but back when I could afford a therapy my psychiatrist asked if I had written any fanfiction or planned any out in my head, and I was "nah, not really." And she nodded and looked down at her notes and was like "so how do you feel about possibly trying Zoloft?"
I started laughing and she was like "I know it sounds funny but it's been six months without you engaging in your favorite hobby and that's a sign the depression is getting to a point where we might why try some treatments with meds in addition to therapy."
So like. yeah.
Just saw someone with “use whatever pronouns you use for yourself for me” in bio. I honestly never considered the depth the pronoun metagame could have, we’ve barely scratched the surface with this shit

I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.
Don’t forget kids, jewelweed is a natural counteragent to poison ivy rashes but it won’t do shit against whooping cough
Mint for nausea, valerian and chamomile for sleep, antibiotics for fucking infections.
I’m in love with this post
The most important question about s3, is David Tennant going to be set on fire?
If Amazon decide not to commission Season 3, I will personally set David on fire to make up for it.

thank you
"you should only ever reanimate skeletons" "nuh uh zombies are better" shut uppp you literally need a mixture of undead footsoldiers for a balanced necromantic army

i can't watch movies containing naval warfare for the same reason some horse lovers can't watch historic war movies where horses get shot
yes, i know the cannonballs aren't real. yes, i understand the ships are only pretending to sink. and yet, I am distress
Don't worry! The boats just turn into submarines when the sink! They don't actually take any damage, they just travel underwater to get a snack for being such good boats!
logically i know this, but it's still reassuring to hear someone say it out aloud
And! When they do a really really really good job they are given boat belly rubs! and an extra warm boat bath! I am glad I could be of help to reassure you my friend!
why do we praise boats like this boats are an invasive species and danger to the ocean and all of its natural wildlife like sharks and shipwreaks
okay wow that is a MASSIVE generalization, the boat genus has evolved over thousands of years and consists of hundreds of subspecies many of which are perfectly capable of living as part of a balanced aquatic ecosystem. boats aren't automatically evil just because *you personally* think they're big and scary.
@is-the-boat-video-cute your professional opinion?
Rating: Cute!
While there are invasive boat species (see: most species of yacht), most species of boat are fully acclimated to their environment!

A Curated List Of My Favorite Skeletons (and Skulls!)
We shall start, of course, with the obvious: Stringray!
Followed neatly by pufferfish!
gila monster skull (shh they are sleeping)
moving on to flamingos bc they have so little to work with but they stretch it so far
veiled chameleon skull (plus art by Elena Barbieri so you comprehend the importance of the sclerotic ring bone!) (bc some eyes have bones! some eyes have bones and that is so so valid)
love us a good old-fashioned mole
the tucan, always a fun classic
in conclusion, a few dainty gibbon skeletons to calm you soul, bc why the heck not <3
(yes the last one is a real vintage postcard sold in real Natural History Museum gift shops, before for some reason they reconsidered this marketing decision)
I give you boxfish skeleton
Skeletons are already awesome in their dry and preserved state but I want to put forward cleared and stained skeletons!
It is possible to make the body of an vertebrate translucebt and stain all the bones bright red and cartilage blue with the help of some chemicals and a lot of time. This staining procedure is known as clearing and staining and can give some stunning results!
Couple of years ago I visited a traveling exhibition that was all about looking at cleared and stained fish. Fish also are very diverse wuth their skeletons and that made it easily understandable for anyone as you can still see the body shape of the fish!
This procedure has also applications beyond being artistic as it helps scientist to understant how the skeletal system of fish is organised because quite a lot of it is still cartilage. Some forms of cartilage can be prepared like bony skeletons (looking at you shark skulls, also there are seven types of cartilage!) But the cartilage that is found in bony fish will be lost by traditional preparation. Also cleared and stained specimen can be moved so you can see for instance how the bones of the jaw interact when the mouth opens!
So this kind of staining is awesome if you want to understand the weird morphology of fish but be warned it still takes quite a lot of effort and time to make them! Also very important: the the credit for the exhibition goes out to Timo Moritz and his team at the Meeresmuseum Stralsund and the University of Jena. I can only imagine how much work went into that exhibition and so I think it should be credited properly!
I hope that I could make somebody excited for the world of clearing and staining!
It is October, my dudes
