wtf he sounds like a squeaky toy or maybe a spore creature

do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles

[gayagendaofficial]

actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs

[gaysie]

Actually there is evidence that covid probably would affect the VNO and it stands to reason would accordingly impair its function. Briefly:

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid, can only infect cells expressing a certain protein called ACE2

ACE2 is expressed widely in nasal cavity epithelial cells but not in olfactory sensory neurons. 

Seo et al. (2021) studied potential nasal targets for SARS-CoV-2 using golden hamsters as a model organism (commonly used as a proxy for humans in virology studies)

They found ACE2 expression in the main olfactory bulb epithelium (MOE, your “normal” nose organ) as well as the vomeronasal organ (VNO)

Several cell types in the VNO were able to be infected and they also found significant inflammatory activity (macrophage activation, apoptotic cells, etc) 

The specifics of how covid actually causes dysosmia are not known for sure but epithelial damage by local inflammatory immune responses likely plays a role, especially because sensory neurons themselves are not affected (Bilinska, & Butowt, 2020). Therefore I would suggest a potential similar effect of VNO dysfunction as we see in the main olfactory bulb

From Seo et al.: “Considering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamsters”

If it stands to reason that omegaverse individuals have functioning VNOs similar to members of the animal kingdom, then it is more than reasonable to conclude that covid may cause them to lose not only their main olfactory function, but also their VNO function as well

In conclusion the omegaverse economy IS in shambles.

OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist

[assiraphales]

“tik tok is brainrot I’m glad it’s getting deleted” YOU are ignoring an early warning sign of fascism bc silly dances and asmr annoys u. tik tok ban is a part of a MUCH bigger bill that indicates any foreign app, if deemed a threat, can be banned if the owner does not sell it. aka the government is mad bc they cannot censor & their capitalist puppet masters are mad they aren’t making money from it. and if ur ok w that……hm

[assiraphales]

give it a lil read thru if u want to and then try and tell me it’s just about tik tok

[lovipop]

What selfshipping is like

[shitposting-extraordinaire]

Posts that read wildly differently based on self image

[gemsandjunk]

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

[housederiva]

Grabbing you guys for the shoulders so tightly as I say you have to reblog things regardless of how old it is, this is the show and tell website

[willgrahamscock]

the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.

[willgrahamscock]

calling her a “copy cat” when she didn’t do anything other than repeat 3 words is insane. her bail is set at 100,000.

[willgrahamscock]

as of now she’s facing 15 years in jail for ‘threatening’ the ceo of the insurance company that denied her claim. and isn’t that ironic? since women always get told that ‘threats don’t mean anything unless there’s action’ when it comes to reporting stalkers, ex and present partners who threaten abuse. but now a threat warrants this disproportionate action?

[pocketseizure]

“I can fix him” okay but I can fix the narrative. I can recontextualize events and bring out depths of character. I can shift priorities and strengthen relationships and show that anyone can change with enough kindness and support, and that what you admired in him has been inside yourself this whole time.

#25 on Spotify wrapped says how 2025 is going to go. how's it going for you?

[have-you-been-here]

Happy wrapped day to those who celebrate!

What was the highest song in your top 100 with a location name in the title? (real or fictional, generic or specific)

[aropride]

oo whats the first song in ur spotify top songs with a number in it?? mine is 360 by charli xcx

[boydykedevo]

Hey wait lemme do a spotify wrapped game: what’s the first song on your list that’s not by one of your top five artists and how high is it

[ashinaisshin]

CRISIS CORE FINAL FANTASY VII REUNION (2022), dev. Square Enix (hd version of this)

[hellorhightreason]

Okay, since spotify wrapped is due any time now, reblog this and put in the tags what you think your top 5 artists will be in order, so you can come back to this post and see if you were right

[mclov3ly]

do you ever do fanart/fiction that is so transformative of the og content you debate on just making it OC content?
