EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SCIENTISTS AT THE SCHMIDT OCEAN INSTITUTE HAVE FOOTAGE OF A LIVE COLOSSAL SQUID FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑
choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty
hii, yes, i do!! i'm an inkling (among other things), but with more features from actual squids. could be called a xeno inkling, but still very human-like.
just today i was wondering why there's so few of us around. my sister is also an octoling, but she's not on here
are there any tumblr users here who kin inklings or octolings? like genuinely feel like them the way therians feel like animals? I’m questioning if I might be an Octoling as well as a dragon 😭

By taking biopsies from long COVID patients before and after exercising, scientists in the Netherlands constructed a startling picture of widespread abnormalities in muscle tissue that may explain this severe reaction to physical activity.
Among the most striking findings were clear signs that the cellular power plants, the mitochondria, are compromised and the tissue starved for energy.
"We saw this immediately and it's very profound," says Braeden Charlton, one of the study's authors at Vrije University in Amsterdam.
The tissue samples from long COVID patients also revealed severe muscle damage, a disturbed immune response, and a buildup of microclots.
"This is a very real disease," says Charlton. "We see this at basically every parameter that we measure."

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
tbh i'm very interested in your take on this one
THIS. ADMITEDLY. TOOK WAY LONGER THAN I EXPECTED TO BUT THATS BCAUSE I ENDED UP CONCEPTING BEFORE ACTUALLY MAKING THE DESIGN ..... anyway this is judge!
@beeb-oob you wanted to be @'d once i finished it

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.
>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.
>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.
>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.
>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.
>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.
>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.
>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!
>Lemmings problem now solved.
>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.
>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.
>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.
>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.
>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.
>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.
i'm a winged cat. now, i know for a fact there's others, but only met one who's type works similarly to mine.
basically, i'm a sapient, somewhat powerful, energy-based shapeshifty creature, that mostly turns into cat-thing with wings. no specific species, traits vary, but always a face like a housecat, long tail, and often prehensile thumbs. we get all kinds of wings, but the bird ones are most important. i'm part bird, in a dragon-like way.

also, don't go running around if you don't know the terrain is safe. falling is bad, and falling on something sharp or poisonous is worse. and even when you know there's no slopes, pits, or brambles ahead, still keep an eye on the ground. it's really easy to get caught on a root and sprain your ankle.
at the near spring and summer I'd like to remind y'all something: be careful when you go out in the woods. it means:
don't eat or touch any unfamiliar berries and mushrooms – take someone who knows or use guides. its always more interesting to explore together or play a scientist!
collect bones and feathers through a plastic bag and be sure to disinfect or boil it when you'll get home – various germs can survive even a rough winter inside of it.
you found a nest or den? oh it has cubs? great! watch and take photos from a big distance and take care to not disturb the animals! and i greatly beg – do not collect cubs or animals. the cubs are usually not as alone as you see, and if you see a wounded animal then call to rehab. you won't be able to raise or properly care for an one.
take a snack and a drink – eating things from the ground and drinking unboiled water is dangerous.
always have someone with you or at least tell someone where you are going – various dangers lurk in the woods.
feel free to add in tags or comments.
it's interesting how different the raw materials are, and get treated, compared to the typical modern paper. using bark and straw instead of just wood, and such a long, repetitive process to get them broken down... hard work, but the result looks really good. i suppose it's still less arduous than trying to turn solid wood to pulp without powerful machines.

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues
i'm like if the world's most anxious little scared kitten was a human being
when a dragons wings are too small to realistically fly thats fine its reasonable i think to size them down to allow them to fit in a space better and be more readable as a character. but outside of really specific circumstances (like cartoonishly small wings) when a dragons wing webbing stops way too far up? punishable by death. in seymourworld.

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
i love being around weird people.
like, i'll get to point out a moving company mascot (kangaroo with four wheels instead of hind legs, a pouch big enough to fit furniture, and a very.. expressive face) to my homophobic brother, tell him i know someone who'd want to be that, and watch his brain implode in real time.
