Hi I'm Char! Just working out some things. In this blog: mostly shitposts, animals, posts that make me expel air out of my nose in a quiet expression of amusement. Things I like: space, robots, science, art, Lord of the Rings. These things are not often on my blog. Someday I will prioritize over shitposts, but it is not this day.

There is a reality not so far from our own in which Ratitouille (2007) was filmed as an avant-garde conceptual horror akin to Eraserhead (1977)

if i had to explain what tumblr is like i’d only show this

[moon-grub]

No one seems to be acknowledging the far funnier element of this, which is, that when you go to the commenter’s account, you find out they are actually fucking roleplaying as a sexually repressed skeleton and jjst really committed to the bit while everyone in the reblogs is talking about how much they hate minors or whatever. thank you kharak the skeleton servant of the almighty lich king

help trans farmers establish their forever farm after repeated displacement

i've been trying to avoid fundraising due to the State of Things, but we were banking on grants that did not come through, so it's time i ask for help

Donate to Secure Our Regenerative Forever Farm, organized by Ren W

We are Ren and Dimitri, the two people behind Uphill Farmers , a micro-farm focusing on pre… Ren W needs your support for Secure Our Regener

after repeated displacement from leased properties, we've finally been offered a forever farm opportunity... we just need to get it set up. we raise endangered, high-welfare heritage animals - some of the only people doing so in our area - and donate the majority of the food products we produce. we aren't really profit motivated - we want to proliferate high-welfare animals and educate on the need for regenerative farming and humane animal practices. additionally, in our time as farmers, we have raised nearly $300k for another farmer in the community, held food bank fundraisers, and used what little we have at our disposal to support our community regardless of how little we have ourselves. to keep doing this work, we need to be on solid ground with land access that won't be taken away from us at a moment's notice. these fund are to help us build housing and fencing for the animals so we can get them moved over securely and safely. thank you

[uphillfarmers]

we could really use your help to get things going! we successfully raised almost 300k for another farm in our community (we did not take a cent of that money!), and we could really use a fraction of that generosity after moving repeatedly over the past few years and never really getting to establish a farm. im ok if i fail, but we just want the opportunity to really try. we’ve never been on solid enough ground to actually have an ‘operation.’ we are some of the only trans livestock farmers in our area and some of the only heritage livestock breeders in the region, on top of operating on principals of agroecology and high welfare. we also provide food to local food banks oriented towards marginalized communities, and we could provide so much more if we could get our footing.

thank you 💕

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

at the gym telling everyone the weights would be easier to lift if we all work together

[trixthebee-deactivated20260601]

I. WHY.

[dragongirlsweetie]

the more people you have lifting an object the less amount of force each individual person will need to apply to it to lift it

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that

[teaboot]

Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D

My brother left me alone in his living room with a hockey interview on and I heard the interviewer ask something like 'what went wrong?' And the guy at the mic in the most tired voice just went "...everything" so I looked up to see who was being interviewed and it was a goddamn founding father
