he found a poster for a phineas and ferb theme party and just. decided to go. oh my god 😭

the thing is the king charles portrait is genuinely incredible and exactly how I would execute a portrait of a member of the british royal family but also I literally cannot fathom why the british royal family would have it made

like yeah if I were going to make a portrait of king charles I would absolutely have just his smugly smirking face leering out of a mass of red that could only be read as blood and gore, and have his military uniform fading ambiguously into the same background to lay bare the brutality of imperialism concealed by the pomp and ceremony of the british state, and make the entire thing sort of look like it was decaying to indicate the rot of the empire. like I really struggle to imagine a better visual metaphor for the nightmarish history of a dying empire than the king's spiffy military uniform and saber and sash and rows of epaulets being literally made out of a rotting field of blood and gore. but like why did he have it commissioned... why did he have it MADE and then say Looks great I'm putting it on the wall... HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN HELL

the portrait in question btw

BIG SILLY?

this is actually the coolest thing i've heard in a minute. there's something really reassuring about it, honestly. that there's a place in nature, carved out by these creatures, and that even with hundreds of years of separation, they slot back into these spots where they're meant to be

BISON WALLOWING!!

It creates a whole other type of habitat within the habitat!!!

Lots of plants need bison to wallow in order to create a place where they can grow and prosper!

Bison are a keystone species, they build and engineer the ecosystem, maintain it and give it life!

Bring back the bison!

Bison wallows are so important. You'll even see other species utilizing wallows as shelter, especially on short grass prairie where there's little shade and high winds.

There's a great book called Ecological Buffalo that I recall having photos of pronghorn sheltering from the wind in a wallow that hasn't been used by a bison in over a century.

Concentration camp.

They built a concentration camp.

I don't think words can describe what this other than genocide.

I was actually just up in Ohio for the solar eclipse, and did you know, I'd never seen Spring before?

I thought I had, because down here in Florida we do get some flowers and nice green leaves as the weather shifts from cool to hot, but the trees are never bare and the flowers just blend in with the rest of the trees and in comparison this Actual Spring was some sort of magical wonderland, I swear to god, I've never seen anything like it

Apple blossoms???? are so pretty???????? the subtle changes of the colors, and they take up the whole tree and they're so damn beautiful????????????????? I had never seen them before, we don't have any apple trees down here at all, but now they might be my favorite flower

I'm familiar with cherry blossoms- we do have some cherry trees- but not like this. This tree was entirely pink and stood out so much! No leaves or anything on the trees, just flowers everywhere!!! I see why people like spring and cherry blossoms so much, I think.

And idek what these are but LOOK at that!!!!!!! Life and color!!!! Spring!!!!

So yeah. I went to Ohio and I thought it was beautiful and i wanted to share that with you. Your state is wonderful!!!

its actually very silly that if ur any type of art kid as a teenager everyone is like oh have u thought abt graphic design or advertising. yeah the little emo dude who fills sketchbooks with anime gore all day would be great at making customers buy product.

It is so crazy how thick the walls of their echo chamber can be.

My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around

She cheers when the monster is winning.

99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.

you should have a rough outline of a plan for if any of your loved ones experiences psychosis, it really does happen a lot. UTIs can cause psychosis. taking drugs, even safe drugs, or prescription drugs, can cause psychosis. i was once prescribed a heavy regimen of vitamin D because i was deficient, but the doctor never told me to stop taking it, so i moved to california, stopped being deficient, and developed vitamin d toxicity with downstream hyperparathyroidism which triggered significant hypomania that was undetected and uncontrolled for yeeeeeeears. i just slowly got Weird and started making impulsive decisions based on slightly out-of-gamut beliefs. i drove cross country by myself to have a love affair. the love affair was real, the series of decisions leading to burning down my life in pursuit of it were based on not great brain function however. etc. you see what i mean. churchill mentioned depression being the "black dog who stalks us" (one reason for Churchgrim's multi-referential name) but theres another, stealthier dog called Insanity and it's closer to some people than others but man it sneaks up on you. every time i see one of those "guy gets weird and drives into the wilderness forever" missing persons stories i think "yeah i could totally pull that off"

I'm glad I'm not the only person who poisoned themselves with vitamin D - my partner got a higher dose of the same brand and as ADHD had already made it invisible, I didn't notice it was over 2.5x more. I overdosed myself for at least 6 months, and at the time my doctor figured it out I was at 102.0 ng/mL. A safe amount is 25-50.

It absolutely exacerbated my preexisting bipolar disorder. My mood swings got incrementally more severe, especially the depth of depression I was experiencing. My COVID related brain fog starting regressing and my word recall still hasn't improved much. My fucking bones hurt. But it happened so slowly. I'm in my 30s. Things just start going to shit, right? Doesn't everyone's bones hurt?

If you're feeling poorly, please check all your medications for dosage, expiration dates, etc. Maybe your psych meds aren't functioning as well as they used to - being "medicated" does not mean they're working the way they should.

If there's a silver lining in all this, while trying to figure out my physical and mental decline my doc decided to increase a dose/change the timing of one of my most important psych meds, and I feel SO much better now. But apparently this should have been done over 10 years ago, and that's 10 years I wasn't properly medicated. I lost my 20s thinking I was on the right track (but still struggling immensely) when taking 50 more mg, in the morning rather than night, could actually have fucking fixed me. Knowing that makes me want to lie facedown on the floor and scream until the walls cave in. But now I'm medicated, PROPERLY, so I don't.

tl;dr take your meds but not too many :) check periodically and be safe!

It’s Meep! Meep is a bit of a celebrity in the axolotl world. She is believed to have a form of dwarfism and is not significantly overweight, although she looks it especially in this photo.

The owner is a well-known and experienced handler who has four other axolotls that are way more… axolotl shaped lol. But she is healthy, not being overfed or suffering due to poor husbandry.

Actually Cute!
