Can we talk about how in zombie shows/movies/books they always find a veterinarian and not a surgeon? Are veterinarians deemed more likely to survive the apocalypse?
Yup.
One of our professional skills is ‘not being bitten by patients’
We actually have a good broad knowledge base for both surgical, medical, and GP things
We’re used to improvising equipment because a lot of stuff is just not made for animals
Meat safety is part of our training
Our cars are often full of equipment, especially in mixed practice
We probably weren’t in the human hospital at the initial outbreak

I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor Yiff
Well, furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that.
Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?
doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them
You will die in 7 days
It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right
Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I

[ID: a comic illustrating the above thread as if it was happening in a theater. The users are mostly shaped like their icons, pukicho is a pikachu and hokuto-ju-no-ken is a gengar. The last panel is gengar looks back where a speech bubble comes out of the crowd to say, “you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.” /end]
I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this post
Magic of tumblr,
I am morally obligated to add the YouTube video whenever this thread crosses my dash
I’ve seen this thread more than a few times. But this is the first time I’ve seen this video. So thank you for your service.

Cinnamon Bear, Bryan Davies - Here is the bedroom we finished for our rescued shelter cat (Wyatt) this weekend. He actually goes in to nap and watch birds on YouTube :). Fame hasn’t gone to Wyatt’s head, even after he got an article by Stephen Messenger @dodo !
Story time:
In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.
Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.
What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.
The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.
So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.

How to Finish
I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.
Love this, but reblogging it specifically for “Get rid of secret rules.” That’s one of the most amazing illustrations—and points—I’ve ever seen.
so important especially for perfectionists who procrastinate and never finish, or even start because they set such high standards for themselves.
Hey y'all. With the Writer's Guild of America on strike, you might be hearing a lot more about something called "residuals," which are payments that the writers get for the studios continuing to air their work on reruns and such. Already I'm seeing people trying to frame the union trying to bargain for better residuals as greedy and unreasonable, so I just wanted to give you guys a peek into my dad's full, 100% real residual payments for writing some of the most watched episodes of American late night television.
Yeah lol. If u hear anyone trying to frame the conversation around residuals as writers being greedy, please do me a favor and punch them straight in the face ❤️🙃🙃
The last time I saw any real money from residuals in film and TV was in 2008, when I got a substantial cheque from the WGA (who administer residuals and such) for my share as cowriter of the Beowulf film on DVD. And then DVDs were over and done and became a niche market.
These days residuals are... well, something you can take a friend to dinner with. Not something you could pay a monthly mortgage or the rent with.
(And I'm fine. My TV work over the last 5 years has been subsidised by my book and comics work.)
But I just got one even smaller than the one cent residuals...
Even as I stood there this looked fictional.

btw a lot of harry styles looks hes been praised for being gnc are like. direct copies of juan gabriel's suits
@handcream Are you fucking calling Juan Gabriel "a dead guy with a much smaller legacy" am i hearing that right?????
Juan Gabriel, the one who sold more than 100 million albums and wrote more than 1,800 songs???
He's recognized as one of the artists with most discographic sales in history, he has over 1500 gold, platinum, multiplatinum and diamond records, his CDs "Los Dúo 2", "Los Dúo" and "Mis 40 en Bellas Artes" were #1, #2 and #3 in sales in the united states, he's the only living artist that achieved that, and the only latino artist that outsold all of his performances in the united states.
What has harry styles done aside from making music that plays in department stores?
Juan Gabriel is literally nicknamed EL DIVO for a fucking reason. He is an icon who ranks alongside the likes of Celine Dion, Dolly Parton, and Whitney Houston. Harry Styles is barely a singer much less an artist or anywhere near the caliber of pop star as JuanGa. Styles owes his success to a good PR firm as opposed to his own artistic merits.
Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized
Hubris to think you COULD abuse bees
I think that if you see a balrog in an unlocked kitty kennel then you can assume that it wants to be there
It’s not that wild. And it’s certainly not hubris. Exploitation is abuse, and bees are worse than exploited.
...no.
The word you are looking for here is symbiotic. Bees and beekeepers have a symbiotic relationship.
If bees are not well-treated, they leave. You cannot abuse a hive and have it remain functional. You cannot abuse a hive, period. The only way to do so would be to kill the whole hive by not permitting any of them to fly.
It is functionally impossible for beekeepers to abuse a hive of bees.
If bees don't like their living conditions, they leave.
They are a fully unionized insect.
Stop your weak vegan bullshit, it's exhausting. Not every relationship between humans and other species is abusive or even has the capability to be abusive.
For fuck's sake, why are you even following our reblogging from me?
I once had a vegan academic, at AN ACADEMIC CONFERENCE, say to the audience of her talk that beekeepers clip the wings of all their bees so they can't fly away. Allllll of them. She was not thrilled when I busted out laughing. I pointed out that she'd clearly taken a tidbit of information (some beekeepers DO clip the wings of the queen and only the queen, not always for flight limitation reasons) and got it twisted, bc how the hell would bees collect nectar and pollen if they can't fly?? She then doubled down and said they have to WALK. TO. THE. FLOWERS.
See, ok, I want to engage this real quick. Your average beehive is between 20,000 and 80,000 bees. Probably less for smaller hives and more for bigger hives. So lets really lowball it. Lets say this hive has 10,000 bees. Do you understand how unproductive it would be to clip the wings of 10,000 bees? Not only to sort through 10,000 bees and figure out which ones are clipped and which ones aren't, but to actually clip the wings of 10,000 bees? Let alone the fact that you get halfway through and all the bees decide you're a threat and start leaving. Let alone the queen deciding she doesn't like you for harming all of her workers and also walks off. You literally cannot abuse a beehive. They don't have the brains to reason out the whole "Oh but its a warm shelter and I'm safe from predators so I guess I should stay,,," no, if they feel unhappy they will either Die About It or Leave. They will not take abuse because they don't get Stockholm syndrome, they don't have the brains to argue for staying, they're either happy and fed, or upset and starving. And if its the latter they will just fucking Leave or Die About It. Bees allow humans to harvest honey because they overproduce, and humans allow bees to remain nearby without breaking out the insecticide. Thats a symbiotic relationship.
