trapped in(ch) trouble.

Going through several names since its discovery, this actinide was originally called brevium when Kasimir Fajans and Oswald Helmuth Göhring identified it in 1913, thanks to its short half-life. Later in late 1917, early 1918, two groups of scientists -  Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner of Germany and Frederick Soddy and John Cranston of Great Britain - independently discovered another, much longer lived isotope. 

At that point, the element’s name was changed to protoactinium from the Greek πρῶτος, protos meaning first or before, because the element is part of the decay chain of uranium-235 before actinium. In 1949 IUPAC shortened the name to protactinium to ensure easier pronunciation.

>weird shit happens around these twins. conscience store ghosts, a weirdly pixelated adult man beating you up, your dirt bike gets stolen, your girlfriend's boss and his nephew make your gf break up with you???

>gets memories erased at some point

>suddenly in love with only other female friend, like instantly in love and it's like this came out of nowhere but she's so perfect and you loooooove her it's so great don't question why there's a part of you that doesn't remember ever actually falling in love with her. also those fucking twins had something to do with this again.

i don't think i've seen anyone talk about how codependent it felt. how, probably without realizing, sun was trapped into the relationship because as long as he was around moon's killcode could be somewhat kept in check

as long as the sun stayed up, people lived.

i love sharks. i am obsessed with sharks.

and i'm glad that the "jaws" view of sharks is fading. but it worries me that people are saying things like "sharks are literally just ocean puppies". no, they're not as dangerous as a lot of people think, but they're still wild animals. do not treat a shark like a puppy. i've seen videos of people getting themselves bitten by nurse sharks. if you know anything about nurse sharks, then you know that these people were really harassing them. they're not monsters, but they're not your friends either. they're animals who will lash out if they're antagonized or crowded.

[ID: a CGI Minecraft sheep. it has exotropia and is making a funny face]

my eyes are not a joke. my eyes are not "derpy" they aren't funny. real people's eyes look like this. my eyes look like this. it's upsetting to have a movie make a joke out of your eyes and more upsetting to see everyone else not only follow along but amplify it.

yes, the Minecraft movie CGI is unsettling. it is bad but the problem with the sheep is everything except the way its eyes look. real. people. have. eyes. like. that. I cannot emphasize enough that real people have eyes like that. I promise you are capable of criticizing the Minecraft movie's appearance without mocking exotropia.

Like, you can make jokes about agab but you can't be doing this bullshit. AGAB terminology was coined by intersex people to talk about our experiences, this is well known, but we coined these terms specifically to get away from the idea that female/male are our actual sexes. Just because I was afab doesn't mean I'm female or that I have a biologically female body or any of that.

We keep saying that agab is an event that happened and has no bearing on how your body looks or your identity but no one listens! Agab is not your sex! Please get that through your heads! And if you like neoAGABs because you hate thinking about your agab then just don't think about your agab! No one has to know that information and, again, it says nothing about your actual sex, gender, body, or anything else!

You can reject agab language without mocking intersex terms and experiences!

And, btw, we shouldn't have to baby you or say this "nicely" for you to listen. We aren't your teachers or parents who need to hold your hand through this "tough moment of learning", we are real people who are being hurt by the shit you're doing and we're allowed to be angry about it!

and you as an autistic person tell them "hey! You can't go autistic, autism is an identity!"

And they respond with "actually no, social communication disorder is the (SCD) identity!! You actually have SCD and going autistic is the word to describe going awkward!"

That would be really annoying wouldn't it be? Someone using your identity, the word you use to find others like you and to find support which the term autism as ALWAYS described people like you, them trying to change the meaning then telling you, you are actually something else? Really, really annoying.

Apply this situation to people calling verbal shutdowns/temporary speech loss "going nonverbal" then telling nonverbal people who call them out they are actually mute.
