Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

#a samurai with a flintlock pistol sitting next to a guy dressed as a caveman drinking a styrofoam cup of dr pepper#and it fucks severely

so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you

the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman

but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything

What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.

I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode

ID. Moral: there was a sewer man. End ID.

the spirit is not willing and the flesh it is not so into the idea either

Hey, don't cry. A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shines, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design, ok?

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

A worm that can jump? It's more likely than you think! Asian jumping worms will thrash wildly when threatened, and have been known to leap nearly 30 cm (11 in) into the air! If that doesn't deter predators, they may also drop their tails just like a lizard.

If you send me proof that you’ve made a donation to UNRWA or another fund benefiting Palestinians– including esim donations and verified gofundmes– I’ll make art of any animal of your choosing.

im getting my oil changed and i heard the mechanic go "tee hee hee". whats happening

[ID. Cartoon of two blob-shaped guys. Left says, "sorry man I can't hang out, there's too much housework I'm behind on..."

Right puts a hand on Left's shoulder. "Hey man let me help, I just want to hang out with you and helping you is a bonus".

Then, Left mops while Right wipes something down.

Left and Right stand together happily. Right says, "see? It's okay to ask for help, dude". End ID.]

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]

as a cis woman who's had a hysterectomy and partial oophorectomy, this would be helpful for me, too! it'd be pointless to try to diagnose me for disorders that affect organs I don't have anymore, after all.

being inclusive helps us ALL. 💖

This process is often called "organ inventory" and it really tracks! Very much a process of "taking stock" of how one's complement of physical components has changed over the years and the current array of parts present within. Good stuff!

When I began teaching medical school we were just starting to introduce organ inventory as a practice. Now it's a standard topic in all of our clinical skills content. Students also learn about the versatility of this practice for a wide variety of applications in health care. As usual, sex and gender affirming care is part and parcel of quality care across the board!

Hello! There is a project in my sociology class for college that requires interviews! As someone with disabilities (physical and learning) and is in STEM myself (neuroscience major), I really wanted to do my project on this :D! So, if you have the time and identify with being disabled please fill out this form! It is completely ANONYMOUS! As for what is STEM, I am accepting anyone that is studying and/or has a job relating to the STEM field including social sciences. Hopefully it should not take too long to fill out!!! I would be SO appreciative!

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

Since the minimum is so low, this is a great place to put the last of a prepaid card, don't just give it back to the card company by tossing it with money still on it! Even a dollar can do good!

yeah, people do lie on the internet, however i am so passionate about things that if i lie it will feel like i committed an autistic sin

if i just accidentally say something wrong i panic tbh catch me putting "to my knowledge" and "from what i remember" disclaimers on everything to account for human error

From what I remember, 1 + 1 = 2. I think. Not an expert though, feel free to fact check me! This is just an educated guess.

lots of times if I tell my boyfriend that I am proud of him for dealing with a situation, or that I'm sorry he's having to deal with a situation, he will say "no it's my own fault." meaning that he feels like he doesn't deserve praise or comfort for dealing with a situation that is his fault. (for example a financial problem caused or exacerbated by him having been too anxious or absentminded to deal with the situation sooner.) and I tell him this and I will tell y'all this, that I don't believe that. I think you are even braver and stronger for taking steps to deal with a mess that is of or partly of your own creation, because you have to cope with guilt and shame on top of the thing itself, and because you're fighting against the same ingrained dysfunction in yourself that caused the mess. that's like the bravest and most constructive thing you can do and you should be proud and I am proud of you.

also, mistakes don't mean you deserve to suffer

I promise you your outlook on life will be so much better if you occassionally take the time to be as impressed by things as you would if you'd never seen them before in your life.

The indoor flushing toilet is a truly remarkable invention, do you ever think about that? Do you ever think about what a clever contraption it really is, and how much it revolutionised the history of the home?

And the electric toaster! Next time you use one, think about what a brilliant, clever little piece of engineering it is!

When you pour perfectly clear water over just a few spoons of hot chocolate powder, and it turns into a rich dark liquid that you can't even see through! Might as well be magic!

Pianos! Saxophones! All kinds of musical instruments! People thrpughout history put so much time and effort and trial and error JUST into inventing contraptions for the soul purpose of making a really nice noise, because it makes people feel good!

The world is incredible. Humans are incredible. Take the time to remember that.

One of my favorite presentations I ever did was about how impressive the can is as an engineering concept. A simple lever pressing down on a surface to crack it along preplanned paths, combined with an aluminum cylinder maximizing sanitation, comfortable shape, function, affordability and packing. Utterly amazing that we've made so many.

Yes!!! This is what it's all about!!!!
