The new Acht art is a parallel of their first album cover I’m gonna CRY.

I’m frustrated that the only posts of mine that get reblogs are low effort. Please go look at my art.

And I thought black people smoked the most weed...smh

According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an estimated 43.5 million adults (or 15.9% of the population) in the United States used marijuana in the past year. This represents a significant increase from previous years, and is likely due in part to the legalization of marijuana in several states.

The NSDUH also found that marijuana use is more common among men than women, with 19.5% of adult men and 12.9% of adult women reporting past-year use. In addition, younger adults are more likely to use marijuana than older adults, with 29.9% of adults aged 18-25 reporting past-year use, compared to 12.5% of adults aged 26 and older.

The NSDUH also found some differences in marijuana use by race and ethnicity. The highest rates of past-year marijuana use were reported among adults who identified as two or more races (28.9%), followed by white adults (17.5%), Hispanic adults (14.5%), and black adults (12.7%).

It is important to note that statistics on drug use should be interpreted with caution, as they can be influenced by a variety of factors such as social and cultural norms, access to drugs, and differences in reporting and data collection methods. Additionally, it is important to avoid making assumptions or stereotypes about individuals based on their drug use or their race and ethnicity.

Two People Of the Midnight Sun guarding a snared hare against a juvenile sunsinger, a wolf sized mustelid that lives as an ambush predator and opportunistic scavenger in the arctic tundra and gets its name from the male's yowling calls during the springtime breeding season.

These people primarily manufacture small knives for skinning prey and bloodletting their host animals, and do not have weapons capable of dealing with large predators. Their primary defense in this situation is the tried and true predator mitigation strategy of puffing up and making a lot of noise. Like their caelin/delkhin relatives, polar caelin have gular sacs that amplify their calls, primarily used for long distance communication and song but also adequate for making a general cacophony.

This sunsinger physically outmatches its foes by a long shot, but is hesitant to get any closer to a pair of loud, unfamiliar, and seemingly fearless opponents, and quite frustrated about this whole situation. It will most likely walk away from this confrontation hungry rather than risk a physical altercation, particularly when reinforcements from these people’s clan hear all the yelling and come to dive bomb the shit out of it.

I think it's funny how trans activists are always like "BuT wHaT aBoUt InFeRtiLe wOmEn?!?". As an infertile (technically sterile) biological woman who had my fallopian tubes removed at 22. I have never once not felt included in any definition of woman? Like wtf are they talking about?

/blows off a cassette hand-labeled "headcanon Tali" and slams it into the tape deck

if the boy quarians at least get to have those cool bundles of cables coming out of the backs of their helmets, surely the girl quarians have something similar under the hoods they wear. The way I draw Tali and her people might be stubbornly different from canon in some ways, but I can believe it's not too far off.

This might be a strange question, but do you think it would be cathartic for Machete to have a tamagotchi in the modern AU? One of those things where it heals his inner child but he isn't sure why?

Suguru teaching himself how to do nails so he's always able to do yours. He loves the look on your face when he finishes them. He tries so hard and at first, he's so ass at it. Nails are crooked, lines are jagged, little bubbles in the polish after it dries. Oh it's a fucking mess. He's embarrassed and always promises to do better the next time. But you love them regardless because even though it took 6 hours for Suguru to do, he made the effort for you. Now after months and months of you letting him practice on you, it's nothing for him to throw his hair up in a loose and messy bun and get your nails looking right.

And all your friends always ask for your nail techs info but you gatekeep so bad 😭🤭

Cloning a store-bought mushroom

Cloning a store-bought mushroom involves taking a tissue sample from the mushroom and transferring it onto a nutrient-rich medium to encourage the growth of mycelium. Here are the steps to clone a store-bought mushroom:

Materials needed:

Store-bought  mushroom

Sterile  scalpel or knife

Sterile  petri dishes

Sterile  agar medium

Sterile   gloves

Incubator

Instructions:

Select     a healthy and fresh mushroom from the store. The mushroom should be free     from any visible signs of damage or contamination.

Sterilize     the scalpel or knife by dipping it into a 70% ethanol solution or by     heating it until it glows red hot. Allow the scalpel or knife to cool     before use.

Using     the sterilized scalpel or knife, cut a small piece of tissue from the     mushroom cap or stem. Make sure to avoid touching the tissue with your     fingers or any other non-sterile object.

Quickly     transfer the tissue sample onto a sterile petri dish containing the     sterile agar medium. Seal the petri dish with parafilm or sterile tape.

Incubate     the petri dish in a warm and dark place, such as an incubator, at a     temperature of around 20-25°C (68-77°F). After a few days, you should see     mycelium growth on the agar medium around the tissue sample.

Once     the mycelium has grown out sufficiently, you can transfer it onto a new     petri dish or into a container of sterilized substrate to encourage     fruiting.

Continue     to monitor the growth of the mycelium and the development of the fruiting     bodies.

By following these steps, you can successfully clone a store-bought mushroom and grow your own mycelium for further cultivation and experimentation.

Remember that reproductive rights don't just mean the right to an abortion or other contraception. They mean the right to reproduce just as much. It's only really ever exclusively been the right not to reproduce for cishet, white, able bodied (especially able bodied) people.

When you hear someone talk about the poor having too many children or talking about overpopulation do you understand that that's an attack on reproductive rights (and also eugenics rhetoric)?

Do you consider the fact that many women have to have their reproductive organs surgically removed to be legally considered women an attack on reproductive rights? Do you consider it weird that this is what many democrats consider a "reasonable middle ground"?

Do you consider the fact that many neurodivergent people are put on medication that removes sexual function and essentially chemically castrates them, and most doctors don't see this as an issue (especially when the patient in question is afab) an attack on reproductive rights?

Do you consider the fact that people's wombs are being removed in the American concentration camps that continue to operate on American soil an attack on reproductive rights? (And have you thought about the concentration camps since it stopped being a talking point about an individual politician?)

If you do not understand attacks on the marginalized's right to reproduce as attacks on reproductive rights, than you do not get to call yourself pro choice. Your just pro abortions for privileged women.

thinking about haladriel. thinking about heroines and villains and the insistence that love in stories is only love if it is virtuous and selfless, and therefore the villain can never love the heroine because of all the reasons he is a villain in the first place.

hate to break it to you, but love that is plagued, hounded, and haunted is still love. love that is obsessive, cruel, and selfish is still love. at some point, you have to face the fact that stories are not crafted to reinforce a neat, overarching set of morals. once you accept that fact, you'll find love exists in deeply interesting places--like in the flaws and complexities that make a character compelling.

how boring if only heroes are allowed to love.
