I love a good HFY / Humans Are Space Orks post, and I think one element of Humans we’re sleeping on is an instinctual understanding of ballistics.
I mean, I get why it’s not as popular here on Tumblr dot com, given it’s kinda a jock/military adjacent thing, but like. Our ability to just. Pick up a small, firm object, judge its internal inertia and mass by holding it for a bit, and then flinging it with the kind of accuracy and speed Humans are capable of is.
Like there’s another post about how Humans in an alien zoo would probably be breaking out constantly, since we consider escape rooms to be a fun courtship ritual, but
imagine the aliens who are designing the enclosures just so happen to pick up, say, a devoted amateur baseball pitcher. Not even a legend by any means, just somebody who’s practiced with intention. And one day they’re watching her pass some time and blow off some steam by doing some pitching practice and they realize to their mounting horror that this gal can turn literally anything she can wrap her digits around into a ballistic weapon.
I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

are you “adaptable” or are you just willing to subject yourself to existing in low key background-level ambient misery
these are different things btw. actual adaptability means not dealing with being miserable long term. and being constantly mildly annoyed/frustrated with a situation but being “able to deal with it” counts as ambient misery. btw.
let this be your sign to make your life just a little more livable. get a dollar store trash can for your bedside so Cup City’s invasion plans fall through. block a tag or post that makes you grind your teeth every time you see it. get some grip pads so your bed stops sliding across the hardwood a little bit every time you get in it. tell that person you need a little more support. if you get annoyed at a situation more than a couple times, change it. don’t be content with being miserable.
and the more that you start doing this, the better you will get at detecting your own feelings and advocating for yourself! This is an important start to being more of a person in the world if you struggle with that
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are
wait it gets better
These are so beautiful.

"I just want to live. Is that so wrong?"
A regular part of my job is trying to reach out to people who have been quietly trying to make their community a better place; the volunteers, the teachers, the fucking. People who rehabilitate injured wild owls in a Quonset hut in the woods, and to a one this is the kind of person who immediately reviles at recognition. The kind of person who immediately says that they never got into this to get praise for it, and that they’d infinitely prefer to quietly plug away at this anonymously forever.
And from this I’ve always drawn two conclusions:
To always distrust Mr. Beast and his ilk who always want their acts of charity done on film, because the people who really want to do good and have no motives to do it besides the doing it never want recognition for it, and
That there are, in the dark, in the quiet, always people who are doing good, and the reason you don’t hear about it is because they’d rather die than receive recognition for it, but they’re real; they do exist. And you are never alone
something that drives me insane on a relatively regular basis as a body jewelry understander is talking to people who have sensitive skin who are like "oh well I just can't wear any earrings without my ears getting inflamed" and I say "well what have you tried" and they say "well I've tried sterling silver and I've tried gold..." and it's like. ok. I don't know how gold and sterling somehow got spun by the jewelry industry as being especially good for sensitive skin but whenever I'm like "well have you tried implant grade titanium" they're always like "no....... but I've tried sterling silver... and it didn't work ..." like. I don't know how this narrative about sterling silver somehow got so strong but when they put pins in your fucking legs when you snap your leg in half are those pins made of sterling silver or are they made of implant grade titanium or surgical steel????????? HELLO. HI. YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM TRYING IMPLANT GRADE TITANIUM I AM JUST SAYING
to clarify this is not because of any particular thing about sterling silver being an alloy or anything like that. it's because some people's piercings think that they are open wounds and there are only certain kinds of metal that are rated to put in open wounds. the jewelry industry largely does not understand that this is not the same as "having sensitive skin" which I think is the real root of the problem. the body piercing industry understands that we are talking about open wounds. the mainstream jewelry industry does not want to think about that because it's yuckyicky so they keep trying to sell you regular metal to put inside the hole in your body that your body thinks is an open wound. which doesn't work. this is my hypothesis
Hi hello this is all true and I am gonna add to that:
- bad metal in open wound really bad. Bad metal in fully 100% inert scar tissue healed piercing sometimes still bad. Always get good metal. You CAN be allergic to good metal if you have dogshit luck, but TBH chances are it probably secretly had nickel (see: white gold, amazing mystery metal)
- this shit needs to be polished to mirror shine by hand, yo
- titanium good if good titanium (read on for more on: good titanium)
- ""plated"": run.
- sterling silver easy to work with for artisan, has copper as part of the alloy, which is annoyingly reactive, which makes it dogshit metal for anything you keep on your body 24/7 or overall in really high sweat/moisture area - not because it will harm you, but because your sweat has SALT and WATER and LACTIC ACID and UREA which tends to turn copper black/green. This can temporarily rub off on your skin, make the jewelry look NOT SHINY or both.
(This won't always happen immediately because sterling silver is not EXTRA SHINY, PURE silver or RHODIUM is, so they either plate it super thin or do a treatment that makes a very small amount of pure silver come to the surface. This extra shiny eventually RUBS OFF.)
- pure gold too soft for jewelry, so what you use is GOLD ALLOY. Gold easy to work with for artisan. Gold 16k and above: fine. Gold 10k? Dogshit, that is not even half gold. Yellow gold alloys usually won't have nickel, and neither will red gold. Red gold and yellow gold: fine.
But WHITE gold alloys usually DO have nickel. Why? Because nickel is CHEAP. Know what else nickel is? The main metal most people are 'sensitive' to. Or GET sensitivity to later, because prolonged exposure to nickel makes you SENSITIVE TO NICKEL. You can get specially made white gold so that does not have nickel, but that is because it has PALLADIUM instead. Which is great except it's also MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GOLD.
(I think black gold alloys have cobalt, that can be not fine to some people too I believe.)
- platinum is fine but lbr you probably can't afford platinum, neither of us can. It's okay.
- surgical steel is MYSTERY METAL, do NOT get surgical steel unless they tell you EXACTLY what is in it because 'surgical steel' means DOGSHIT. It means they could make a scalpel out of it, it does not mean it should STAY IN YOU. What you want is IMPLANT GRADE steel and they BETTER tell you exactly which alloy it is too.
- titanium can be fun colors, a rainbow of colors, the colors are fine but titanium is not black. I repeat. TITANIUM IS NOT BLACK. If titanium is black the titanium has been PVD COATED, that can flake off. And what is touching your skin/wound is, well, not titanium, so what even is the point. Again, you want an IMPLANT GRADE alloy and make sure they tell you which. Also no good for artisan, so: often boring.
- niobium is fine and can be colors and CAN be black, but just like implant grade titanium is DOGSHIT to work with. Not good for artisan unless entirely cold formed.
Every morning I pray for a crab rave and every day the empty throne of God disappoints me
When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*
HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!
The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!
Happy Pride!
