Happy national cat day🐱

[elisaenglish]

It’s a pocketful of Posie – partly because she hasn’t made an appearance in a while, but mostly because she’s the cutest. This heart isn’t all about the black cat, you know.

[beemojis]

heartbreaking: local cat has never been fed in entire life, says local cat

[beemojis]

sources close to cat claim cat may have actually been fed between four to six hours ago. these claims are still under investigation.

[Image description under the cut…and really it’s just gonna be the text that’s in the images because this comic is LONG and I am very tired.]

In honor of Dysautonomia Awareness Month, I decided to redraw my VERY FIRST COMIC from all the way back in 2015. This one took an exceptionally long time–and then I completely forgot to post it here. Whoops. (I tend to post them on Instagram and Facebook first, so check those out if you wanna see my comics sooner since my brain is perpetually foggy and forgetful.)

I also turned this one into a video that you can check out on my Youtube channel. I’ll post it here later…if I remember. 

Thanks for all of your support, everyone–and thanks for raising so much awareness with me!

I saw this on Instagram and have been waiting to find it again because it's such a great way to explain POTS!

Seriously y'all, POTS fucking sucks (it sucks too much to use frick instead, sorry guys).

[caelei]

sometimes when i’m feeling well i think to myself ‘i bet i could have a job like sitting at a desk or something’ and then i try to do something like organize my bookshelves (a task that is Not Very Strenuous) and it takes me an entire week because i have to keep breaking it up between days because it’s Actually Killing Me to do such a Simple Task

[therealraewest]

Hey do y'all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.

[mjnisanairdot]

If you don't vote you lose your right to bitch about whoever gets elected, SINCE YOU DIDN'T VOTE FOR OR AGAINST IT. Seriously tho, fucking vote. Don't be idiots. It's not cute, it's not a statement.

Strange plant 🤔

[outcastsuggestion]

it’s easier to say “im tired” than “im so sad and lonely i feel like there’s a weight in my chest and my body is so heavy i have no energy emotionally, physically or mentally to even move from my bed”

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.

[drawnsnake]

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