RedwoodTators @redwoodtators - Tumblr Blog

Empty blogs are assumed to be bots and get blocked, so reblog literally anything that doesn’t look spammy.

I don’t give money to strangers online so don’t ask.

DNI if I’m on your DNI list. It’s your job to curate your own experience, and if I am on your list and you follow or interact anyway, you are a hypocrite and your list is only performative. Also, antis looking to start discourse are not welcome. Past that, do what you want

PBS posted this free on Youtube if you missed it on TV. "Exposing the Myth of Southern Charm".

Addendum 5/23/26:

The producer of this doc told folks on Threads that the actual title of this is "Natchez". This was a doc I was waiting to see last year, but PBS changed the name for their broadcasting.

This is very very good. I was in awe watching this. Highly recommend.

#Natchez #watch it.

has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

Tumblr, I propose a battle of wits!

I have put Iocaine powder in one of these two goblets. You choose, then we both drink.

If you choose the more popular option you are poisoned, and must log off and do something you are putting off. If you choose otherwise, you may reblog and keep scrolling!

This is genuinely the funniest thing that could’ve happened considering how the actual scene plays out holy shit

do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles

gayagendaofficial

actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs

gaysie

Actually there is evidence that covid probably would affect the VNO and it stands to reason would accordingly impair its function. Briefly:

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid, can only infect cells expressing a certain protein called ACE2

ACE2 is expressed widely in nasal cavity epithelial cells but not in olfactory sensory neurons.

Seo et al. (2021) studied potential nasal targets for SARS-CoV-2 using golden hamsters as a model organism (commonly used as a proxy for humans in virology studies)

They found ACE2 expression in the main olfactory bulb epithelium (MOE, your “normal” nose organ) as well as the vomeronasal organ (VNO)

Several cell types in the VNO were able to be infected and they also found significant inflammatory activity (macrophage activation, apoptotic cells, etc)

The specifics of how covid actually causes dysosmia are not known for sure but epithelial damage by local inflammatory immune responses likely plays a role, especially because sensory neurons themselves are not affected (Bilinska, & Butowt, 2020). Therefore I would suggest a potential similar effect of VNO dysfunction as we see in the main olfactory bulb

From Seo et al.: “Considering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamsters”

If it stands to reason that omegaverse individuals have functioning VNOs similar to members of the animal kingdom, then it is more than reasonable to conclude that covid may cause them to lose not only their main olfactory function, but also their VNO function as well

In conclusion the omegaverse economy IS in shambles.

OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist

I….excuse me???

So due to a series of unfortunate conditions I had an accident at work.

I was riding an atv down a trail. I was partially looking at a map and in the woods to find a turnoff I needed to go down. I had a helmet on, but the visor is all scratched and scuffed and I was driving towards the sun which made it hard to see. Ahead of me, in the shade where I couldn’t see because of the sun, was a log hanging across the trail about 5 feet off the ground. I wasn’t going too fast, thankfully (due to looking for the trail), but did not see the log until the very last second and did not have time to stop.

Ran right into it.

The log pushed me back against a wooden box mounted on the back for hauling things, and the atv kept going with me on it under the log.

My helmet opened up, I got bent all awkwardly going underneath the log, and my neck got wrenched back. Big bruising on my elbow and back. I had to just sit there for a few minutes catching my breath letting the shock and everything run through me.

Ironically, I probably would’ve been better off without the helmet cause I most likely would’ve been able to see the log when I was still in the sun.

Went to urgent care yesterday to get my neck checked out cause it hurts and is a bit swollen. Got x-rays and it seems good. I am very very glad I was looking for the other trail because I’m not sure that, even if I wasn’t distracted and looking away from where I was going, I would’ve seen the log and could’ve been going much faster.

I will say though that when you walk into a doctors office claiming a workers comp injury and then say it’s from an ATV accident they give you really confused looks until you tell them what your job is.

I've been thinking of the "Can Granny Weatherwax beat Bugs Bunny" question and this is my full take for Discworld characters:

Vimes - Cares too much, too easy to piss off. Has the innate chase instinct that makes characters run into walls with realistic tunnels painted on them. Might get to arrest Bugs Bunny but the beast will just slip out of the handcuffs to help him lock them, then walk out of the jail cell to have a union mandated coffee break.

Ridcully - Classic hunting season scenario, but has enough charisma to probably still get a few good shots off before the inevitable.

Rest of the wizards - No survivors, only Bugs.

Carrot - The intense near-magical narrative aura of well meaning innocence should make him immune, Bugs will likely be forced to be the villain of the episode.

Lord Vetinari - Flattened by a comically large anvil in the first few minutes of the episode, unclear if it was all a part of his long term strategy or not.

Moist - Has the 'lovable trickster getting away with it' energy, but nowhere near Bugs level. Already fell for the "old lady who swallowed a fly" scenario with the stamp slugs once, won't fare any better here.

Death - Definitely one of those "character is trying to avoid death" episodes, would go back and forth. Might actually get to end Bugs but his spirit will reappear in Death's domain and ruin his garden.

Nanny Ogg - The ultimate in anti-Bugs technology, a gleefully annoying old lady who doesn't give a fuck and definitely won't be the first to instigate the plot bearing conflict. This is a full sweep, he's the episode antagonist.

Granny Weatherwax - Too win-motivated to not lose. Would have to break the story to have any chance. Might do it.

Magrat - Will have sappy ideas about helping the poor animal which honestly has the 50:50 chance of either getting slapsticked or Bugs ending in a ye olde stroller&pacifier gag.

Colon&Nobby - Designed in a lab to be totaled by Bugs Bunny.

Tiffany Aching - A child that also has a large pan that is the perfect thing to hit someone over the head with and make a BOIOIOINGGG sound, so great odds.

For my fellow vegan/vegetarians, these sound scrumptious and look pretty simple to make substitutions!

It's sooo good

The lentil soup post is yeah beyond amazing. I know lentil soup doesn't seem like it could be that good. You simply don't Know how beloved the rheinlander lentil soup was. This was a famous soup here.

Goddamn the pwhl playoffs have been fantastic this year
