IVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR TO POST THIS YOU DONT EVEN KNOW
I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(
hnn I WANT IT SO BAD
on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!
IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
now we enter the testing phase
yup. looks good.
Extreme Chompin T-Rex says IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?
OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement
*roar sound effect*
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
update update: I re-sized her collar and found a bag of toy bones at the craft store. I haven’t put this much effort into a non-school thing since my last job search, help
(secret bonus: the other side of her tag)
There’s more!
I love.
I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!
(just fine)
Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures
OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card
Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)
so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.
it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!
ajdhf.
well that’s just,,,
REXCELLENT
two hundred THOUSAND notes???!?!
HELL
YES
HELL
FUCKING
YES.
Nearing on 375K Notes!!! What in the Paleolithic are y'all gonna do when they top 400K?!
cry, probably
Reblogging to get you one note closer to crossing the 400k mark!
IT’S TIME
YOU MANIACS. okay, here we go!
HAIL TO THE QUEEN
LONG MAY SHE REIGN!
(she was a skater Rex, she said see you later Rex, she’s finally hit 400k!)
we’re coming to you live from Halloween 2022, where Wexter continues to be ridiculously jawsome!
this year we’re doing a much-beloved character from classic literature, “Dracula with inappropriate straw hat”
thanks everyone, may your weens be hollow and your candy be many!
Sonic Prime Character Posters– releasing to Netflix December 15 2022!
Ooooo!
So I heard y'all like crossovers
Yay! Multiverse!
This is incredible! Anything That Moves was a bisexual magazine that ran from 1990 to 2002 and most of the issues were very hard to find up until now, making this part of bi history and culture accessible is MONUMENTAL
“These six-pack rings are 100 percent biodegradable and edible—constructed of barley and wheat ribbons from the brewing process. This packaging can actually be safely eaten by animals that may come into contact with the refuse.“ (x)
They use food their food waste to make them, so it’s a safer alternative that cuts down on plastic waste and food waste
I also love that "Floridaman" is one word.
Yknow how kids normally hate veggies? I could see Sonic trying to give his to the dog every time in the past, but once Knuckles shows up and he sees Sonic doing that, he’s like “WHAT ARE YOU DOING-“
And just as sonic thinks he’s going to rat him out, he continues with “-wasting such delicious food?!” So now Knuckles is the new Ozzie lmfaoo and sonic and tails slyly scrape all their veggies to him (when they can)
HEHEHEHEHEHHE THATS SO GOOD
Same but also with people in their 20s or 30s+ who just discovered drawing as a hobby and are also basically beginners
To all my followers who are learning to draw, regardless of your age…
Don’t give up. Don’t let those haters and trolls get you down. Your style is beautiful. Just keep going. You’re doing amazing, sweeties.
Considering I’m in the 30+ learning to draw group, thank you 😭 I so want to learn how, I keep trying!

Today my art history professor gave some words of wisdom:
Nude is when your clothes are off. Naked is when your clothes are off and you’re up to something
✨Mass Effect y'all✨
It has to cheer me up while i'm playing Mass Effect 3
Shakarian trash detected 💕
It was 5th second after first meet with Garrus Vakarian:
Shepard: Mom... I think I'm in love.
Hannah: I swear, if this is about a new gun...
Shepard: *gasp* How did you know??
Garrus ME2 romance in a nutshell
(today i am drawing shitposts. be on the lookout.)
Nihlus: are you a morning person or a night person?
Saren: No.
Nihlus: well that isn't really a yes or no question...
Saren: No.
Nihlus: ...are you fully awake right now?
Saren: No.
Me: yep
Me: sees trans man not binding and one in a dress
Me : nope!
You didn’t have to draw a trans man with boobs sis, thanks for the dysphoria babeey
if u get dysphoric when u see a boob that’s understandable but its also your problem to deal with n u don’t get to shame other trans dudes for drawing people like them with visible breasts. as much as it sucks, most trans men do have non flat chests and it’s not a bad thing to draw trans men with breasts (unless ur sexualising them, or ur drawing a real life trans man who’s dysphoric about his chest).
also u can’t have a go at op for drawing a trans man without a binder bc it makes u dysphoric n then call him sis. dont be a fuckin hypocrite dude.
anyways good post op
some trans men can’t bind for medical reasons. some don’t prefer to bind bc it’s uncomfortable, and hot, and sweaty!!! some trans men arent that bothered by chest dysphoria!
trans people are not required to attempt conformity to be valid in their identity. no one is required to try and “look cis”. that’s your own shit to deal with.
Thank you for drawing trans men who aren’t binding and who wear feminine clothes, OP, seeing trans people like myself really helps with my dysphoria
I can’t bind because of my severe asthma and pain in my ribs from fibromyalgia. So seeing trans men who aren’t binding really helps my crippling dysphoria. Thanks op (also disabled trans men aaaaaah! 💖)
Also some trans men cant afford a binder, or are closeted, or itt isnt safe where they live to bind, binding isnt a necessity v
Also trans men, just like cis men, are allowed to wear dresses.
Dude up there was really like “I have dysphoria, therefore trans men are only men if they “pass” and don’t dress gnc”. Mate that’s just transphobia with extra steps.
Last month, drug company Genentech reported on the first clinical trials of the drug crenezumab, a drug targeting amyloid proteins that form sticky plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The drug had been particularly effective in animal models, and the trial results were eagerly awaited as one of the most promising treatments in years. It did not work. “Crenezumab did not slow or prevent cognitive decline” in people with a predisposition toward Alzheimer’s.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) narrowly approved the use of Aduhelm, a new drug from Biogen that the company has priced so highly that it’s expected to drive up the price of Medicare for everyone in America, even those who never need this drug. Aduhelm was the first drug to be approved that fights the accumulation of those "amyloid plaques" in the brain. What makes the approval of the $56,000-a-dose drug so controversial is that while it does decrease plaques, it doesn’t actually slow Alzheimer’s. In fact, clinical trials were suspended in 2019 after the treatment showed “no clinical benefits.” (Which did not keep Biogen from seeking the drug’s approval or pricing it astronomically.)
Over the last two decades, Alzheimer’s drugs have been notable mostly for having a 99% failure rate in human trials. It’s not unusual for drugs that are effective in vitro and in animal models to turn out to be less than successful when used in humans, but Alzheimer’s has a record that makes the batting average in other areas look like Hall of Fame material.
And now we have a good idea of why. Because it looks like the original paper that established the amyloid plaque model as the foundation of Alzheimer’s research over the last 16 years might not just be wrong, but a deliberate fraud.
thanks for the text extraction, i was on my phone <3

This article is also a good science-focused take. Also, NIH program directors do not "award" grants. Grants are reviewed by other peer, (non-NIH) scientists, given a percentile score based on how good the reviewers think they are, and then grants are largely awarded up to a certain percentile (the top 10%, for instance). That's not to say that the whole field hasn't drunk the kool-aid about a possibly wrong model, but please don't make it sound like this program director is part of some kind of conspiracy. He is the PD of that grant because it's his field. But PDs jobs are just to make sure that the research in their portfolios gets done as the researcher promised they'd do in their application. PDs don't decide who gets the money.
