it's a beautiful day for some  

✨ 🌸HASHIIZU PROPAGANDA 🌸✨

remember the good olde days with those little print-at-home staple-bind zines? if you wanna experience the nostalgia in these trying times may I interest you in the hashiizu flower minizine I extorted from my amazingly talented friends: @beemosketches @silverutahraptor @craneace @writhingbeneathyou @good-grievance @maphel-n-doodles @codedredalert

This very cool and cute little minizine could be yours for the very affordable price of FREE / printing it at home.

🌺 get the digital version

🌺 get the A6 print version + 🌺 the sticker sheet

(Print instructions for zine: use A4 paper, recommended 90 gsm for laser/120 gsm for inkjet. Actual size, narrow margin, flip on long edge. After printing, cut pages in half and assemble. Staple the spine. Trim the edges.) (Print sticker sheet on sticker paper, actual size (1/4 of A4). Insert sticker sheet insert/ cut the stickers.)

We had a great time with this and hope you do too.

✨💮🌷 enjoy! send pictures! let us know how you liked it :) 🌷💮✨

Aww, thanks so much!  I miss you too <3

And seeing all your neat cosplay pics.

And I still miss tumblr (except for the parts I don’t) which is why I pop back in every now and then.  There’s so many really great people talking about really interesting things and I’ve learned so much and made so many friends and gotten to ramble about all my pet interests. <3

I do have a discord I call my fandom living room (as in, come hang out, talk about whatever, don’t be a jerk) that has a fun batch of former and current tumblr peeps I get to keep up with.  

Y’all are welcome to poke your head in and see if you like the atmosphere.

@codedredalert has fallen into rarepair hell and now ship Lawkins. Prompt was  “hawkins giving law some sort of safety talisman”. Have a snippet. I’m trying to keep it on track but good god these two just don’t want to play nice.

“Death stalks your shadow,” the man said to him.

Sleep paralysis is a completely different thing - it’s much more physiological. IRT would have no effect on it. Not sure about Prazosin.

So basically, this is a case where a gene(s) that gives you a reproductive advantage (just! keep! growing! GET AS BIG AS POSSIBLE!) also has a longterm disadvantage associated with it (you die of growing to death), but since you’ve already had lots of kids and passed on those genes by that point, there’s no way for selection pressures to fine tune that little glitch at the end.

selection doesn’t care if you die eventually, as long as you pass on more of your genes than the other guy.

since the “just keep growing” appears to be built in, sentient lobsters probably couldn’t short circuit that portion of the process.  if they don’t molt, they eventually outgrow their own exoskeleton, and if they nutrient-restrict enough to stop growing they probably muck up other physiological processes.

so does that mean a theoretical lobsteresque alien society with good medical care and/or a lot of energy drinks COULD achieve quasi-immortality, or at least create a ruling class of studly, geriatric giants?

In my opinion they could definitely extend their lives, probably a lot, with appropriate nutrition and advanced lobster medical care.  But they’d eventually start hitting other hurdles--for example, at some point their exoskeleton’s not going to be able to support their own body weight.  

Or, if they get big enough, they’d need to drastically up the oxygen content in their environment to counter the fact that they have an open circulatory system to deliver oxygen to their tissues. Their volume to surface area ratio would be slowly skewing, making that not a very effective plan anymore.  And oxygen is a pretty toxic chemical, so that’s going to start having its own problems.

It’s not!  which is a shame, because he’s a really good speaker!
