Is anyone else having issues buying scrapnik island #4?? All it says is coming soon for me. Is there a specific time that it gets released?

Yo yo yo someone asked about the sexuality’s for the characters/my ocs in my au but I accidentally deleted the ask. So here’s a list of them:

*not all the characters are here either because 1. I have no idea or 2. They’re children like tails and cream and I honestly don’t think they would think about dating yet at those ages.

Sonic: aro/ace

Knuckles: bisexual

Shadow: gay but homophobic

Rouge: bisexual

Omega: the only love that he feels is the love for destruction

Amy: possibly bi?

Blaze: pansexual

Silver: pansexual 2 the electric boogaloo

Elias: aro/ace. Doesn’t feel romantic love only love for his family and friends.

Shard: aro/ace. Same as Elias

Sally and Nichole: both are lesbians and are dating each other

Big: gay fisherman

Chuck: gay/ace

Aleena: questioning. She thought she was just aromantic for a while until she met a certain hedgehog named bernie ;)

Maurice the hedgehog (oc/Sonic’s dad): bisexual

Paulie: straight

Nigel: gay

Polly the pangolin (oc/knuckles mom): straight

Static the cheetah (oc/Sonic’s mom): bisexual

Eggman: bisexual woah he’s bisexual I didn’t know that

Starline: gay for eggman only

Apollo the lion (oc/statics teammate): trans man/pan

Yuki the snow leopard (oc/statics other teammate): pansexual and dating Apollo

Rosie: straight

Yeah and I’ll be posting more au stuff in a bit. Feel free to ask questions if you like.

Am… am I back in the 90’s?

[cheeseoneveryfudgingthing]

Bead animals were my JAM in the 90’s!! And you don’t have to limit your creativity to lizards, either! With a few adjustments, you can make anything!

AND with a little practice, you can even make them 3D shaped (especially with the smaller beads and wire, though you can make them with the bigger beads and string, to an extent) 

[elodieunderglass]

These connect powerfully to some locked-down memories

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

[bomberqueen17]

I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her “10″ there, and so is like, well, I’m conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors don’t take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)

So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of “nothing” to “how I’d imagine it’d feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fire”. 

I hate reposting stuff, but I’ll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, here’s a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I can’t embed images in a chat or an ask.

This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.

[petralemaitre]

Pain Scale transcription:

10 - I am in bed and I can’t move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.

9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.

8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.

7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.

6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.

5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.

4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.

3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.

2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.

1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.

0 - I have no pain.

[airagorncharda]

It’s also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how “bad” any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly. 

For example, if someone asked me how much pain I’m in at any given time, I’d say hardly any, and yet I’m apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day. 

There’s also a similarly useful “Fatigue Scale”

[jedijenkins]

I haven’t been below a 5 on this scale for 4 years 

[nerdgasrnz]

Here’s the fatigue scale

[sunny-day-sky]

Fatigue scale image desc:

10: can barely move; can’t talk

9: can barely move; can talk

8: can move, but can’t do much more than watch TV

7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously

6: can do work on my computer lying in bed

5: can get around the house, but definitely couldn’t go out

4: can run a light errand

3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy

2: can do three or more activities in a single day

1: going clubbing!

See also the Mental Health Pain Scale by Graceful Patient:

Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:

MILD

1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. You’re probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!

2 - You’re a bit frustrated or disappointed, but you’re easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.

3 - Things are bothering you, but you’re coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.

MODERATE

4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.

5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.

6 - You can’t do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.

SEVERE

7 - You’re avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.

8 - You can’t hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.

9 - You’re at a critical point. You aren’t functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.

10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You can’t imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.

These are so important! SO SO IMPORTANT SHARE THIS AND SAVE IT TO SHOW YOUR DOCTORS!

[mrswhozeewhatsis]

This is the first time I’ve seen the fatigue scale, and HOLY MOLY that’s a revelation!!! These should be on all hospital and doctor office walls.

[thesaltofcarthage]

I’ve never seen the mental health one! or the fatigue one! I printed out the pain one and gave it to my GP. 

[blurds]

this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks

[did-you-know]

Boy dolphins often try to impress girl dolphins by giving them a sponge as a gift.

Male Australian humpback dolphins present large marine sponges to their favorite females- sometimes getting so excited that they aggressively throw the sponges at their desired mate.

They also work in pairs with other males, making them one of the only species besides humans that use ‘wingmen.’

It makes me so, so angry when I see those posts that are like "HORRIFYING EARLY PLASTIC SURGERY RESULTS FROM WW2," because all of those lists are full of images that aren't the final result and are used for pure shock value. Harold Gillies, who performed most of those surgeries, was an incredibly talented surgeon. Here are some images of the full results of his surgeries.

I need to emphasize that I can't post the "before" pictures that go with these because the men did not have faces. The injuries were so extensive that these men were missing nearly all of their facial features, and through cutting-edge techniques that "looked scary" at the time (e.g. extensive skin grafts), Gillies saved these men from a medical nightmare.

Gillies performed the world's first ftm bottom surgery for trans man Michael Dillon and pioneered mtf bottom surgery! Respect his legacy.

How come a badger would fuck up a coyote

you wouldn’t necessarily clock this from just looking at one, but all species of badger are basically just little fucked-up biological TANKS with hearts full of murder.

adorable murder.

to start with, badger skin is so tough that it can resist most attempts by other predators to bite through it, and is also very loose so that even if it’s grabbed by a larger creature, the badger can still turn around and bring its own claws and teeth into the situation!

which is very bad.

and on top of this, badgers are STUPID strong and ridiculously hardy- badgers can shrug off just about any injury that doesn’t kill them outright and will immediately seek retribution by attempting to open you up with those big ol claws like a can of beans being fed into an industrial shredder.

badgers can even 1v1 fucking BEARS and walk off without a scratch, they’re that op.

no, I was not kidding.

the coyote, a fragile creature built for speed and maneuverability, would stand NO chance if it tried to start shit with the badger, and they both know it.

Badgers can also outrun horses in a sprint. They give zero fucks and are just amazing critters.

[cipheramnesia]

We could have just let badgers have this planet, why didn’t we do that?

When badgers learn to code, we’re fucked

So my roommate doesn’t like swears. They make her uncomfortable, so when I send her memes, I do my best to censor out any swears in them so she can enjoy them as much as I do.

I was trying to send her this meme

So I went to censor it into the final form in MS paint

Simple process, just set the secondary color to black

Highlight

And cut

Then copy and paste edited meme.

Which I did.

Except.

I forgot to copy the whole meme

So my roommate, whom I love dearly, just got a notification on her phone that only said

for 2022 i think more people should make fursonas. like even if ur not a furry. do u know what the coolest shit in the world is? just being like “what if i were a weird fish character” or something and then designing them. do u know what the most unironically fun question to get asked is? “do you wanna see my sona” like YES bitch i do

[the-tree-line]

this post only has 1k notes but very rarely have i seen more inspired notes tbh. there are SO many tags that are just like “i should make one actually” “ooo i can experiment with pronouns and gender” “i could be a pangolin :)” “i should draw one finally” “i can have tits” “legit it’s so fun do it” “im gonna be a cool bug”

like bro that’s literally the spirit. go wild and explore yourself tbh. if 2022 isn’t the year of the furries it’ll be the year of some new global catastrophe instead so get on it you shits

[lenarise-deactivated20191107]

by the way the funniest thing ive read all week is this post on reddit i think where somebody asked for the pros and cons of different stem majors and so this one girl responded and she said she was a software engineer i believe and then she said “ok pro #1. i never have to wait in line for the bathroom ever again. there are more female restrooms in this building than there are women”

[codewitch]

pro #2: growing up i was surrounded by so many saras. just. saras everywhere. which sara do you want? but now, as a software engineer, I am the only sara. the eleven marks weep in jealousy. 

[lenarise-deactivated20191107]

the marks smdjdjdjdjd YEAH when i took my first compsci class the lab section had twice as many nicks than there were women

[geardrops]

someone was complaining to me about how there are too many ryans on the team, and i said “you wanna know how to fix that? hire more women” and the only other woman sitting nearby spat out her coffee
