It's really interesting how food taboos work, since edible insects (such as crickets) and crustacean seafood (such as shrimps) look... not that dissimilar, but each one provokes completely different reactions.

NEW SHRIMPS!!!!!!!!!

[markscherz]

do you know any shrimp scientists? if yes can you ask them why thor amboinensis are apparently referred to as sexy shrimp. because what

I looked into this, and it turns out the answer is basically that these shrimp sway sexily (?) whilst they walk or feed. You be the judge.

Oh my god the Tim Drake shellfish thing. Okay, so as far as I’m aware it started and is mostly contained to Ao3 where a fairly popular “Tim joins the batfam early/tims parents are extremely abusive” fic had the fact that Tim is allergic to shrimp as like, a repeated thing in showing his parents neglect for him, in that they kept forgetting and what not. Not a terrible fic by itself but is very much stalker/wet blanket fanon tim. But I guess the fic was popular enough that other people started using Tim being allergic to shrimp and in at least one fic Tim’s parents force him to eat shrimp as a punishment.

Stop that's actually so funny like I've seen it before when a person in a fandom will write a fic so good that everyone else will get inspired so you can tell what fandom a fic belongs to sometimes just by a popular premise or au or smth but shrimp allergy parent abuse is just so goddam specific

met a VERY charming lil friend yesterday who i have never (knowingly) seen before!!! 🖤💛

this is the Sequoia Pitch moth (Synanthedon sequoiae), yes, moth! these fascinating little creatures bear an incredible resemblance to members of the family Vespidae, like common paper wasps and yellowjackets, and that’s no simple coincidence!

the appearance of these moths is an example of Batesian mimicry, a type of mimicry where one species mimics the warning signals of another species, but without having the same harmful or undesirable defences.

in this case these moths look like they may give you a nasty sting, but really they’re about as harmless as a moth can be! (plus they have gorgeous slightly iridescent black-lined wings and fluffy little shrimp-like tails! absolute cuties!)

Feferi: I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "seayond the troll range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other fins. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp moraylity", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that people can never comprehend

The line art is done! (The shirt decal is not outlined because it won't look right in the end if it is). Now for color... eventually...

Hi! I ran across your post on the scapularis muscle and went 👀 is this my problem?? But alas it was not. I went to the trigger-points website you have pinned and pinpointed that my sore spots are definitely in my right rhomboid. Any suggestions on self-releasing those? They’re kinda…hard to reach directly. Do I need to enlist another person or is there anything I can do myself?

That muscle is chronically tense for me, to the point that I’m pretty sure if I stretch the wrong way it tweaks other muscles that make it hard to move my head. I try shoulder rolls on a regular basis, and stretch the front right side of my torso with a goalpost-arm-then-roll-onto-right-side yoga stretch, but I’ve yet to find anything that reliably helps it release.

I had a therapist once who did a short adjustment in that front half muscle (pectoral maybe? It felt very internal) that made me catch my breath it hurt so much for a half second, but after that I had blessed release for weeks until regular use made it seize up again.

For reference—I’m a regular laptop user and do hunch like a queer shrimp over my phone and laptop, but I’m also a trained opera singer and familiar with body mapping and basic Alexander Technique, so when I’m NOT being a shrimp, my alignment is very good.

(If you’ve already posted about this, please pardon my inadequate searching skills. Damn you, Tumblr search.)

oh i know that pain!

obligatory I'm not a doctor, but with the combined head stiffness, i think the pain you are experiencing might be your levator scapulae alongside your rhomboids (and some trapezius), which work together to raise the shoulder blade (along with head movement)

HOWEVER. i don't think this is the true cause, especially with your mentioning the shrimp posture and your therapist releasing a muscle in your chest.

i think your problem is in the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis minor

the left is latissimus, right is pectoralis. notice how the latissimus loops around to the front of the arm bone. these two muscles work together to pull your shoulder forward and down--they directly oppose the levator scapulae and the rhomboids in function, so it sounds to me like you're pulling on the upper muscles whenever you hunch forward to use your phone or laptop!

so, and it feels a little counterintuitive, but in your case rolling the shoulders back and pulling them up should help counteract that.

but, it's also possible that tension further down your body could be the true source. if you look at that picture of the latissimus dorsi, you can see that it attaches to the pelvis as well. now, say you have tension in the backs of your legs. this would pull the back of your pelvis downwards, and everything attached to the pelvis ALSO gets pulled backwards and downwards, stretching out all those back muscles. then, when you go to lean forward, such as using your laptop, not only would you be double stretching the back muscles, but you would also be tiring out muscles such as the latissimus dorsi, which must expend more effort in order to pull the upper body forward, working Against all those stretched out back muscles.

it's this combination of factors that seems to result in most back pain. which makes sense, since you're basically pulling on your back muscles from two different directions.

so if treating the latissimus dorsi and the pectoralis minor doesn't bring you long lasting relief, the next place to check will be your pelvis/legs!

I don't think Stede was being bitchy in s2e5 when he said he wanted to "learn at the feet of one if the greats" and then chuckled when Izzy said "foot"

I read that chuckle as "Oh God I fucked up. I accidentally said something offensive and I'm so embarrassed."

[underwhelmingalchemist]

No thoughts, only post-reunion-and-reconciliation Ed seeing Stede's new red coat and gently taking it between his thumb and forefinger, and feeling the texture of the silk and calling Stede a madman because who chooses silk for a pirate coat? And Stede just replying, "Well, I know you fancy a fine fabric"
