Helping Others is the Highest Aspiration

You can see one of her healing surgical sites in this pic. The stitches cam out a week ago. The largest tumor (and where her chain mastectomy will be) was on her other side.

We had to reschedule Lucy's X-ray/ultrasound appointment until the 27th (their earliest available atm) but she does have her surgical consult on the 20th still.

Also the surgeon called Lucy a stuffed sausage.

fucking look at this shit though

The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.

Motherfucker randomly started moving.

And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.

So of course, the power goes out.

And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.

Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.

And this guy hoped for the best and got it.

So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said, “We want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.”

The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass.  They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that.  And when they’d created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that.  One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said, “Wait a minute, I’ve seen movement like that before.”

He called up film of a chicken walking.  Everyone in the room said, “Holy shit.”

Net Neutrality is extremely important to many of us, from artists to teachers to everyday people.

We have seen over and over again that it is NOT good when a country wants to limit the information its citizens have access to. The small amount of limiting now can lead to a downhill spiral of censoring nearly everything unless it portrays a certain view. Often a view that, as far as I have seen, most Tumblr users do not agree with.

Think about how many people just fall for misinformation on facebook! They don’t give a shit what the source is as long as it backs up their beliefs! People of all ages have gotten used to just taking anything at face value and thinking it is the truth!

We are living in a day and age where people do not inform themselves, but rather sit around and wait for someone else to stand up for them! I will be honest I am guilty of this too, but as a student of history and a very concerned citizen of the United States of America I must wake up and not let things just happen to me! I must have an active voice in my future and the legislation that will and do affect me!

We must have an active voice in our future and the legislation that will and do affect us!

If we are not informed to the best of our ability we are liable to follow a narrow-minded rhetoric from anyone we, or those around us, perceive to be an authority.

For the love of all that is good! DO NOT just think that someone else will protect Net Neutrality for you! 

When everyone else turns a blind eye to the issue, remember there will not be a way to do something later. You have to act in your own interest NOW!

If you think you are safe because you live in Canada you are not! This also affects you too!

Please spread information about saving and protecting Net Neutrality as much as you can wherever you can!

Remember you have to act in favor of your own interests! Assume no one else will!

Here are a few links I have gathered from other posts to help spread them around!

Please Please Please! Add more links I know that I have not seen them all!

I think that citizens of the U.S. and our Canadian friends can both use these! I didn’t see anything that said you couldn’t.

yes, i know i’ve been away for a while. but i have my reasons. which in addition to being my usual health issues, i have been trying to start a business. please continue reading!

Being unable to work is a demoralizing experience, and creates a life of vulnerability and instability. Though I have a lovely family and group of housemates that love and care for me, generously providing for me in ways I cannot do for myself. My health issues, predominantly chronic pain, make me an unreliable worker for my previous career skills. Though some progress has been made, I am nowhere where I would need to be in order to be a fulltime employee.

For that reason I intend to open a small business. While it may never pay for the bills, it will at least contribute to the house and improve not only my quality of life, but the quality of lives for those I love. To work gives some independence, and it is time to go forward.

So, I intend to start a jewelry business. I’ve become to purchase the tools and materials required, and though I’ve made my first experimental piece I know I am far from what I need. Jewelry businesses, even costume jewelry, do not sell most materials in small pieces. Shipping is extraordinary.

I am only ASKING for help.

Please consider donating to the start-up costs of my jewelry business. This is my fundraiser.

Ah yes, the world he was now in was a strange one. Especially this city. Some of the citizens pointed out the giant robot that now stood in the town square while most weren’t bothered by it. Though considering some of these people looked a bit… off, with fangs, horns, or tails among other things, they were probably used to stuff like this. One citizen chuckled and shook his head at the Cybertronian just outside the city’s borders. “Oh man. Lambda’s gonna have a field day with this.” His friends laughed. “Yeah, it’s not often where he gets to make peaceful negotiations!”, another person cackled.

“Just warnin’ ya, things around here tend to get… weird…”

He nodded, noting the shift in emotion in both his host and the crowd around them, and took it all as a good sign. “Thank you. I would like to stay for a few days, then I’ll return and be back now and then. I have a means you can use to contact me if you’d like, regardless of where I am.”
