A Place In Time

Good day! Thanks for finding my blog! I'm in far to many fandoms to count so I just leave it as this is a blog for just stuff I like, I suppose. Have a wonderful day!

This may very well be my last post with this account because I won't be able to access it with my new phone. I just want to say, it's been great tumblr!

Watch: This revolutionary technology is changing the world for kids born without limbs 

[krystallkitty]

That’s awesome and I’m sure its way cheaper than a prosthetic, but seriously it cannot be cheap to 3d print something that big…

[unofficialasha-deactivated20161]

this one 17 year old guy 3d printed an entire arm and shoulder for himself and it cost him $250

this seven year old girl got half an arm (just like lusie in the gifs) 3d printed and it only cost $50

can we just compare that with the average price of buying a prosthetic

3d printing is gonna help so many people holy crap 

[geekghoulsmash]

No no no, guys, this gif set leaves out the literal best stuff from the video.

So a few years back, this guy who accidentally cut off his fingers, teamed up with a special effects artist/puppeteer and created a 3D printable prosthetic hand, that used the movement of the wearer to be able to grab things. The guys who did this said they were just going to post the schematics online, which in turn lead to creating a network of people with 3D printers, who were willing to print prosthetics for people. The network of volunteers, turned into an organization that gives prosthetic arms/hands to kids who need them. They have science types improving the designs and creating new ones, they got a grant from Google, classrooms and scout troops are getting involved and making prosthetic hands for people.

Everything about this is amazing.

It’s stuff like this that makes technology awesome :’)

i love my mother dearly but ability-wise she frightens me bc not only can she find 20 four leaf clovers within the span of like 2 minutes, everywhere, she can also write her name w/ both hands on a dry erase board or w/e at the exact same time and have both be a mirror image of one another

[greelin]

to add to this: i was making breakfast this morning and i hear “hey milo! look who came to say hello!” and, expecting like, a moth or a frog or something of that nature, i turn and she’s holding a snake

Yer ma’s a witch. Be nice to her

y'all notice how black panther quietly but fervently rejects western assumptions about women in non-western countries by not only displaying Wakandan women in a variety of influential positions but by making clear that only outsiders question them

[batmanisagatewaydrug-deactivate]

women are shown in all levels of Wakandan society - Ramonda as a trusted advisor for her son, Shuri as the country’s leading innovator, Okoye and the Dora as respected warriors, Nakia as a spy and philosophical compass, unnamed women who serve as tribal representatives and spiritual leaders. it is not at any point suggested that their gender is a barrier to achieving anything in Wakanda.

there’s a moment during T'Challa’s crowning that’s small but very good, when M'baku questions letting a child handle the country’s technological advancement. he specifically calls her a child, not a girl, questioning her youth and perceived lack of respect for tradition but not her gender, which flies in direct defiance of many western assumptions about how masculine non-western men like M'baku treat women and girls.

[batmanisagatewaydrug-deactivate]

that moment, as far as I recall, the most any Wakandan man ever directly disrespects a woman. a lot has been made of how much faith T'challa places in his female relatives and warriors, so I won’t rehash that, but it’s Good.

Ross briefly insults Okoye with his assumption that she doesn’t speak English, but 1.) the narrative and the audience both understand this to be an ignorant statement on Ross’ part for which he is promptly put in his place by Okoye herself and 2.) Ross immediately learns and does better. when he wakes up in Wakanda his disbelief is only for the level of the technology, not that a teenage girl is the mastermind behind it, and during the final fight he defers to Shuri’s guidance despite his piloting expertise.

a lot of words have already been written about Killmonger’s treatment of black women: the casual murder of his partner, his disregard and abuse of a spiritual leader, the slaughter of a Dora. it’s just one of many parts of his ideology that mark him as fundamentally misunderstanding Wakanda and being an Other in the kingdom.

Wakanda is a futuristic fantasyland that makes absolutely no narrative room for men who don’t respect the authority of women.

This is true btw. I did a report about Ann Boney in school and Read actually liked her back so they ran away together and were considered the two most terrifying pirates across the seven seas

Lesbian Pirates

Give us this film

[halvedmimi]

Just fyi - many of the illustrations and statues of them show them with their breasts exposed.  This is not because they are sexualising lesbians but because these women often used to open their shirts and expose a breast when they killed a man just so the man’s dying thought would be the realisation that he was killed by a woman.

tits out for murder!!! a true aesthetic!!!

Really Bad ADHD Thing: Not knowing how to give directions to your own fucking house when someone’s driving you home from an unfamiliar location because you weren’t paying attention on the car ride there.

[c3rvida3]

Me: Uhh, here’s my address so you can put it into the GPS.

Them: You live like ten minutes away, man. Just give me directions.

Me, hyperventilating: HAHA. YEAH, OF COURSE, NO PROBLEM. MY ENTIRE SENSE OF DIRECTION WASN’T THROWN OFF BY TWO UNFAMILIAR TURNS I HAVEN’T MEMORISED. I FOR SURE KNOW WHERE I LIVE. WHAT KINDA DUMBASS CAN’T GIVE DIRECTIONS TO THEIR OWN HOUSE.

Fuckboy Deadpool stans: *identify with Deadpool as some sort of outlet of their insecure masculinity/heterosexuality and rebellion against “PC” culture*

Ryan Reynolds: *reaffirms Deadpool as pansexual literally every chance he gets, wants Deadpool to have a boyfriend in the film franchise, makes Deadpool act campy and effeminate as fuck in the movies, does a charity campaign for cancer where Deadpool dresses in pink and sits next to a pillow that literally says “feminist” on it, goes out of his way to hire a woman of color to portray the female lead in Deadpool 2, literally hires Celine Dion to write a Titanic-esque power ballad for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack and makes a music video where Deadpool prances around in high heels feeling his fantasy like the gayest gay that ever gayed*

You gotta love Ryan Reynolds, because he truly was born to play this character.

[lizawithazed]

He’s a canadian composed of snark. He basically is deadpool minus the tragic backstory

[the-queen-of-thedas]

let’s be honest, Green Lantern was his tragic backstory

What’s weird about John Mulaney is that all his anecdotes are EXTREMELY and WILDLY specific and personal and there is no way on this green earth that I, a nearly 20 year old woman who’s never done ANYTHING, should relate to it and YET

[cakejam]

this lemur didn’t seem pleased that i was taking photos of him

[actionables]

so done

with you and your rude shit

[fuckyeahorchestra]

The Boston Symphony was performing Beethoven’s Ninth. In the piece, there’s a long passage about 20 minutes during which the double basses have nothing to do. Rather than sit around the whole time looking stupid, some bassists decided to sneak offstage and go to the tavern next door for a quick one. After slamming several beers in quick succession (as double bassists are prone to do), one of them looked at his watch. “Hey! We need to get back!”

“No need to panic,” said a fellow bassist. "I thought we might need some extra time, so I tied the last few pages of the conductor’s score together with string. It’ll take him a few minutes to get it untangled.“

A few moments later they staggered back to the concert hall and took their places in the orchestra. About this time, a member of the audience noticed the conductor seemed a bit edgy and said as much to her companion.

“Well, of course,” said her companion. “Don’t you see? It’s the bottom of the Ninth, the score is tied, and the bassists are loaded.”

I’ve waited all my life for this pun.

the lord of the rings gets a lot funnier when you realise that merry and pippin were stoned out of their minds a good half of the time

[valtsv]

imagine you and your best friend both have the munchies so you decide to raid the local farmer’s field when you literally run into your two of your smoking buddies from the shire and they tell you they’re hiking to bree to meet gandalf, who you know has some top quality hash stashed on his person at all times, so you agree to go with them and somehow end up on a thousand-mile hike to destroy a piece of evil jewellery in a volcano. congratulations. you’re merry and pippin now.
