Force Jiratchapong as Arc Anol Perfect 10 Liners, ep. 6

[sigmastolen]

shower thought: for blue mutants like beast, nightcrawler, mystique, is that blue from pigment? or is it structural? like, there are only a handful of animals that produce an actual blue pigment and iirc they're all butterflies; any blue animal "with a backbone," as NPR put it, uses structural coloration

so if their blue is structural, is it pretty stable, like a macaw or a blue jay? or does it change from different angles, like a morpho butterfly or a hummingbird's gorget?

specifically: what if kurt has been iridescent this whole time ???

Hypatia would be a safety stickler in the lab. It’s like she feels it in the force. This drove Mercy up the wall because he is safety conscious. Not his first rodeo on things.

Here is a list of grievances and proof to Master Hypatia that he was being safe when he was manually doing old school pathology..

Hypatia: you aren’t putting your knife guard up!

Mercy: WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS UP!!!

Hypatia: oh

—————-

Hypatia: you better not have any fingers near that blade when you are ribboning.

Warning photo has a blade in the picture.

Mercy: I’m using the forceps like you told me. My fingers aren’t even close.

Hypatia: don’t back talk me my young apprentice.

Mercy: Oo seriously.

@paperback-rascal this was a lot funnier in my head. Though it could have been the headache that I had. Hope you enjoy it a little bit.

"What Case and Ramachandran (2012) have named alternating gender incongruity (AGI) calls for such methodology. They interviewed a subgroup of bigender-identified individuals who experience involuntary (and sometimes distressing) swinging between gender states. These gender states include a feeling of being male or female. When occupying a transgender state (that is out of alignment with their birth anatomy), some persons with AGI experience phantoms of the (transgender) parts that are expected but missing. For example, when an AGI person assigned male at birth (AMAB) switches into a female gender, they can experience phantom breasts; when an AGI person assigned female at birth (AFAB) swings into male gender, they can experience a phantom penis. AGI suggests cortical (or other brain) generation (or disruption) of identity or unstable plural identities (in contrast to nonbinary, queer, or gender-fluid identity). The authors suggest that a biological basis for AGI might relate to the coexistence of two (differently sexed) body images or of one body image with both male and female parts that are turned on and off with shifting hemispheric dominance."

(To be clear! I'm not trying to say that all multigender/genderfluid people have it programmed into their brains, or trying to medicalize multigender identity. I just thought it was cool that multigender folks were included in a scientific article.)

Made a volcano erupt. Was bored.

This is the results of a chemical reaction between acid and base. When bicarbonate and weak acidicness in the vinegar reacts, it traps the carbon dioxide and it forms bubbles.

If you're Cecil and Carlos Palmer, the answer to that last question can be all three.

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

Honestly bizarre that tomatoes get all the flack for “not being a vegetable” because they're technically a fruit when:

A) There are a ton of fruits that get categorised as vegetables. Like this also applies to pumpkins, squashes and cucumbers.

B) The fucking mushrooms are standing there at the back of the crowd in this witch trial, trying to look inconspicuous because they somehow got into the vegetable club with no fucking controversy despite the fact that they're not even plants.

shower thought: is land more likely to occur at particular latitudes? like, leaving aside the earth's actual topography and plate tectonics situation-- based on, idk, the slight centrifugal deformation of a rotating planet, and tidal effects and whatever else, how likely is landmass (instead of ocean) to occur at the equator vs. the tropics vs. temperate zones vs. the poles?

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.
