unfortunately i want to make purchases :(
Averaged Faces of Members of the 116th United States Congress
It’s him, Gerry Mandering
me when we start eating billionaires and i have to kill gomez addams
Gomez and Morticia, telling us where they store the spare guillotines so we can go after Jeff Bezos after we finish with them.
Look, I know we don't want to admit that our heroes can be flawed, but this isn't just people baselessly picking a rich person and saying they're a billionaire.
Don't hold back. Gomez will respect the revolutionary fire burning in your heart!
The Addams would bring the guillotines for the other billionaires, give away literally all their money and then still ASK for executions because it’s been so long since they had a good beheading in the family
honestly, you'd break his heart if you said you WEREN'T planning on sticking his head in a guillotine. morticia, too. they'd be upset at the special treatment, too, but mostly they really want to be executed gruesomely as they stare lovingly into each other's eyes as their heads are separated from their bodies, and we need to respect that.

When I was in rural illinois this old farmer guy asked if I was a “Lezzy” and when I didn’t answer he said, in a heavy ozark accent, “I don’t care if y ‘ar, one my workers'is'n she’s a hard worker, she’s a good big girl”
“Sometimes, it’s not the people who we really miss, but the memories we had with them.”

If you ever think you can pack an entire apartment in three days because “everything is already together and there’s no furniture” don’t do it that’s the devil talking
If you think you have enough boxes that’s the other devil btw
That post about triggers reminded me also of this seminar I went to a few years ago at a dysautonomia conference which was about chronic pain. The doctor giving the talk explained that a big problem in treating chronic pain is doctors not understanding or accepting that the brain is really good at making shortcuts. We accept this for things like "practicing the tuba" or "playing a sport" or other things where repetition forms a pathway in your brain which then becomes automatic -- we all have stuff we do so much that our bodies seem to simply do them without our conscious input, right? Because it is generally beneficial for the brain to go "oh, it looks like we do this thing a lot. I am just gonna go ahead and put this shortcut in, so next time doing it is easier"
The problem is, THIS APPLIES for things like pain. This is why lingering pain after a major injury or surgery etc, even after the physical injury has healed and there is no PHYSICAL reason at the pain site for there to be pain anymore, is common. Unfortunately your brain is not immune from applying the microsoft clippy technique of "hey there, it looks like we are doing this thing an awful lot! I am going to install a shortcut for you!" with stuff like pain. And once those shortcuts are established, you can't really get rid of them easily if at all (think of something you used to do all the time but stopped doing for several years and your body just automatically remembered exactly how to do it right away when you picked it up again!)
This is depressing. Because it does mean that "there is no physical cause of pain" is meaningless when dealing with chronic neurologic pain (and therefore the approach of "let's find the cause and treat that" is not always super helpful), and because a lot of medical professionals don't fully understand or accept it and will approach pain management like "weaning you off" management is a reasonable goal.
But I also find it weirdly comforting because it makes me kind of... Sympathetic to my stupid idiot animal brain in a way. Like, my brain is just trying to help me be able to create a helpful subroutine so I don't have to consciously think about.. Like... throwing this spear at an antelope! Or whatever!!! It Doesnt know!!! My man Cornflake got the spirit!!!!!!!!
Anyway. I think I have posted about this before but I wanted to articulate it better. This applies to stuff like coping mechanisms that become maladaptive too. Ur brain makes pathways. Those you can consciously alter with hard work but your first INSTINCT may always be a certain thing that is no longer useful, bc of these shortcuts. That is just brains. That is why you can't get stuck getting angry with yourself about your first instinct in difficult situations, you have to suspend judgment and move past them.
So yeah
The dead don't die. No one is ever really gone. Etc.
Nothing is sacred under capitalism...

You ever think about how crows are acting not unlike how early humans probably did and you're just like. Oh ok
I saw a Thing one time about how the earliest sign of civilization is a healed femur because that shows that we were taking care of each other because if we Didn't a broken leg would mean you Die because you can't. Do things
And I was thinking about this and I remembered also seeing an article about this one mated pair of crows where one of them broke its beak and thus couldn't properly feed itself on its own. So the other one helps
So basically I have connected the two dots ("you didn't connect shit") I've connected them
And also they not only use tools but teach each other how to construct them, so uh
Really makes you think
Realistically I know immortality would kinda suck but I'd love to see where crows are going with this
Fun fact, there is little info on crows (as far as species of interest go) because they're so good at evading human tactics for collection and observation. I had a friend who studied them in grad school. Not only do they describe humans to each other (so crows you've never seen before will avoid you), they also learn the precise distance of net cannons (for trapping and tagging) after 1 encounter and then stand at that distance the entire time (making naive researchers think maybe they can juuuust caych em). So basically you need to befriend them (a common strategy), or find a murder that's never seen you before (researchers wear presidents masks to throw them off, but then they remember and describe the cars). In this case, you have one chance to collect enough in the group to get good data. Whatever crow you catch once, you probably will never catch again, ruling out biosensing devices (like they use with other birds and turtles n junk).
The latest big finding about crows is that they have a grasp of knowledge breadth, meaning they "know what they know" meaning they are conscious (self aware), have subjective experiences and can reflect on their knowledge. (Source) This also implies they have an understanding of the unknown.
Look up Andreas Nieder and Jon Marzluff's work if you want the deep skinny.
It’s okay if you as a disabled person are not independent. It’s okay if you need help doing even the most “basic” of tasks. You’re not less of a person, or less worthy for it. You are not any less lovable, and you certainly are not a burden.
It’s absolutely vile that there are people who believe no longer needing help is the absolute goal of living with or treating a disability. Independence isn’t the goal. Happiness is, quality of life is, being able to enjoy things day to day is. If you need a helping hand to get there, that is more than alright.
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
An actual World Heritage Post
how does this post not have a million notes but anyone online can quote it
You know the whole reason why I haven’t left Tumblr after all these years is because this site is so introvert friendly.
I don’t have the attention span or much less the strength to keep up with Discord conventions (bc apparently fandom is more in Discord these days?? I am not a talkative person to even take part in a group chat *shivers*) or follow with whatever’s going down on Twitter.
I can come on here, make a post into the void and reblog a bunch of posts then ramble in the tags. It’s great. You don’t have to be a person here, you can be a faceless blog and have a grand old time.
