*fizzles* I guess I'm really more of a dud. I like to reblog awesome things other people make because I have no discernible talents of my own.

The fact that I didn't even need my electric blanket for fifteen minutes last night really should have been my sign to finally turn the a/c on.

This Outfit Needs to be Studied!!!!

April 9th 1990, Michael arrived at the White House and was presented the “”Artist of The Decade” award by President George H.W Bush.

This was designed by Jackson’s longtime designers- Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins, this piece was inspired by a 19th-century British Hussar uniform. The jacket was sold for $150,000!

Reblogging for "I have usernames older than you".

[vaspider]

This username is older than a lot of people on Tumblr. I've been vaspider online since 1998.

My username can not only vote and drink, that bitch can rent a fucking car.

[scenerwiththegreenery]

i got my first hotmail account in 1999. one of the usernames i still use (not on tumblr dear god) i've had since i started going on chatrooms made with iframes in 2001. it's a word i got from the dictionary, which was a physical object in my home that i frequently referenced.

i see kids being like "why are you still here?" like man this is where i've always been? i was here for IRC and AIM and Windows/MSN Messenger. i was here for dialup and desktop PCs that lived in cabinet-like desks. i had a GeoCities website before my school friends had email.

my dad worked for IBM, but he also taught me piracy before it was commonplace. i learned how to download music and burn it to CD, which took over my prior hobby of recording songs on cassette from the radio to make mixtapes. i had photoshop 7 which you could pirate with a keygen, and i made covers for my mixes.

so no, actually, i think i'll fuckin stay, thanks

Sign the Petition

WIRED Magazine, Retract "The Painful Truth About Long Covid"

so WIRED has published an article on Long COVID which uncritically platforms pseudoscientific unsubstantiated 'brain retraining' programs as a treatment, and without even so much as talking to anyone with the disease who has been drastically worsened by them (it's a lot). I'd recommend reading the petition in full or the article below if you want more details on why that's not only dangerous but insulting towards the many people with Long COVID who still live without approvied treatments for the disease. instead of criticising the lack of scientific funding for them or other problems, this magazine decide to platform this sh*t. The framing of it as a hidden 'truth' that these programs work when that is completely scientifically unsubstantiated and they have harmed many people is especially vile. 

here is a good article on why these programs are not scientifically or ethically valid and the harm they can do, written by a person with Long COVID and ME/CFS (another related and often comorbid disease that these programs also prey upon, and they profess to work the same way)

PLEASE share this and sign if you can especially if you are not in the community, there is a huge amount of ignorance and gaslighting that occurs, including by some medical professionals, around 'interventions' like this

Article reads:

Last season, as I approached one of my 70-plus nest boxes in mid-spring, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The standard-style-rectangular box I was checking was one of a number I maintain in the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy's 3 Chipman Preserve in Eastern Kalamazoo county. This parcel has been undergoing consistent land restoration from a former tree nursery back to the savannah prairie which is the remnant dominate habitat. The female Easter Bluebird that exited the box prior to my arrival went about her calling from a nearby birch tree. There was no sign of the male, as often is the case, since he might be away gathering prey for himself or for offering to his mate sitting in the box. (The female was by that time incubating the eggs, as I shortly ascertained). When I opened the nest box for inspection, all seemed normal as well.It was when I was checking the five new eggs for a temperature that I caught a glimpse of some bright blue in the nest. At first I supposed it was a random feather brought in to feather the nest, as it were. I'm an inquisitive steward, though, so I pulled the whole nest out--to photograph the eggs in the nest--and also to satisfy my curiosity. It was then that I was startled by the truth of the matter. Built into the very weave of the nest was the dried-out body of an adult male Eastern Bluebird. I'd found dead adult birds in the bottom of a box or on the top of some portion of a nest before- most often after a winter of sub-zero temperatures or after observing territorial disputes between House Wrens and Bluebirds, or Tree Swallows. But never had I seen one so plainly, immaculately utilized in the nest construct. I can only speculate upon the scenario behind the demise of the this adult and the order of the nest building. The nest appears half-finished where the body was built into it. As for the reasons it was built into the nest, an assumption or two can be allowed. Perhaps after losing a fight with a House wren, the dead male could not be physically extracted from the almost-completed nest by his mated female, and so she continued her work. She certainly may have been fertilized already and was due to lay, and in addition possible possessed a strong and singular nest-site fidelity to this box. After the loss of a mate, many birds will either find a new mate- or continue on alone in brooding and raising the young. In this particular case, I never saw another male at the box, yet that doesn't preclude that the female hadn't re-mated and that he was then simply out of my sight. In any case, all five of the eggs hatched, and all of the nestlings fledged right on schedule. (c)2009 Michigan Bluebird Society
