if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified
#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing#i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though#at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself#as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed#escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date#although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL#ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting#workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety#i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back#AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO#im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts#i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem#in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material#and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school#maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess#only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard#hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms#i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work#not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall#anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh#yapping

YAYYYY oc posting :) anyone remember old fnaf fandom days? handing you heavily revamped and redesigned ocs of Vincent and who TECHNICALLY counts as Henry before Henry was even revealed??? >_<

ik the pride flags are a little "modern" for 1998 but idgaf this is for fun and sillies. yapfest in tags my bad
#carn1eposting#art#fnaf art#fnaf ocs#fnaf oc#fnaf vincent#it feels criminal to tag that oml#i wasnt really on tumblr during og fnaf fandom days i was on dA instead. i miss you old dA. i miss you FuzzFoxy rp chatroom#this also counts as an au sort of? vincent is william's nephew in this au and also has a younger brother around michael's age (10-12 diff)#i had originally split vincent and xander (the brother) into like#so xander is kinda more the flirty sexy fanon pg and vincent's more the laid back/depressed “heh... you can't *smirk*” fanon pg#so ig i should add these tags#fnaf au#fnaf fanart#fnaf#fnaf redesign#other oc is almost fully original and doesn't TECHNICALLY belong to me. im more like his foster parent HAHA#his name is gary my bestie at the time (we're still close :3c) made him just bc we wanted to be silly and also we were in like 5th grade#his name is funny. bc i remember it was originally just “Gary Guy”. which was supposed to be a joke calling him “Gay Guy”. he's gay. idk#he was created before the name william was revealed and before henry emily was sort of a existing character in people's minds at the time#we had a separate oc for “phone guy” and it wasn't gary#whoahhhh lore i love lore i used to think about these guys all the time oml LOL#if i hear shit about gary being gay and vincent being a she/they nby and blah blah IDC suck my peanits it literally doesnt matter blow up

I loath how one of my teachers handles grading and time allotted for assignments it is killing me slowly
#this assignment should NOT just be worth 5 points#I wanna say at least 7? 10??#labeling a buncha stuff across 3-4 pages#and then she rushes stuff#example- had to create a project in 2 days and people only got it fully done because they finished it home after first day#then scooting assignments to one day and either don´t or barely get to finish#another was a huge group poster project with multiple parts/questions had to break down a story as well#did NOT finish it#all that and it was worth 15 fucking points#sure my grade didn´t plumet as bad ig but it felt so pointless to do for that little amount#this is just complaining I´m not gonna be making a serious inquire about this all to her. she´s otherwise a good teacher#and I think she´s technically a long-term sub as well?#so idk#nico rambles

The good news is my smart typewriter arrived, the bad news is its battery is deceased
#basically i tried to turn it on right out of the box and it did not respond at all#so i put it on charge and left it for like 10 minutes; at which point it did turn right on when i pressed the power button#i did the quick start stuff and postbox works fine; send to email works fine; all the keys seem to work and it did a firmware update#which fixed the tiny bit of lag the screen had at first#i’m constantly hitting the wrong keys but i do that on any keyboard til i’m used to it. it’s a nice keyboard#the only thing is when i checked how charging was going just now; the battery percentage was still showing 1%. 🧐#it’s been charging for well over an hour and a half#i did a restart and switched to what i think is an optimal charger#(i.e. the usb cable that came with the device + the usb-c wall plug that came with my ipad#not the charging lead for my earbuds + a random wonky samsung plug which is what i was using before)#i’m also going to fully stop bothering it until probably like late in the evening at minimum#i SHOULD be working technically#in my defence i didn’t expect it to arrive so soon. tracking never updated so i thought it was stuck at a random international depot#when actually it made it to heathrow like 2 days ago#look i’m just going to try and count my blessings that everything aside from the battery is working beautifully right now#and if i was a lithium battery left in transit for like 10 days i’d probably die too#worst case scenario i’m just going to have to exclusively use the thing while it’s plugged in. and it has a long cable.. i’ll be fine#personal

ok yay finally planned out some kind of plan for tomorrow
1- Soane museum (seems real cool! also open earliest and easy access route)
2A- down to courtauld gallery (some very cool paintings there but Does cost)
2B- back up to gays the word (bookshop) then on to grant museum, then queer britain
3- idk something else based on how long and tiring this all is
i have ideas for sunday but im gonna see how i get on tomorrow i think!
#i could technically go to gays the word any time but it also makes sense to do specifically then bc its an easy tube#between holborn & russell square (literally 1 stop) but also seems to make the walk to grant museum easier#idk!#probably some kinks to work out#nyxtalks#sorry to talk foreverrrrrr but. thats me#im undecided on courtauld in general but esp for tomorrow. but also kinda a pain if im not already in the area#but £10.... buuuut. monet & van gogh and just. im way into impressionism these days apparently#(should i be posting a somewhat detailed plan of my day? probably not! but if you wanna stalk me join the line buddy!)

Hi! Tarrlok anon just checking in.
I'm alive! I'm hoping to get some writing done this weekend--and watch an episode of two of LOK and Monster High (for a different anon) if I can swing it.
(Recently, I've just been posting my buffer chapters for the one fic I have actual buffer in that's not half a dozen bits of scenes I'm not actively working on, so it'll be nice to have a chance to actually write a little bit again as opposed to just the bit of writing that comes with editing, and I've a few three sentence fic requests in my inbox I need to do.)
#yes I realize I'm saying this when one day of the weekend is mostly gone but I only got home an hour and a bit ago#the most I've accomplished is being in the middle of laundry#technically also eating supper because my neighbour was making perogies all day and dropped some off so I ate them immediately#having lunch at 10:30 will do that to you#but I was gone over actual lunch so...yeah#early lunch it was#the problem is that I am tired now#but if nothing else I should be home by 2:00 tomorrow?#so I will have more of the day left than I did today#ladylynse#asks

You haven’t experienced peak autism hyperfixation on something until you have a interest that’s a franchise with multiple iterations and you learn every single thing about each one of them- but among the multiple series you maybe finished like one yet you talk about the others as if you had all the time in the world or the strong interest to go through all of them and not just consume one of them over and over.
#meg text#yes this is about mega man#cause good lord I’m so defensive for a guy who’s finished only a few games#to my credit I did finish every inti game (zero+zx)#and I almost beat every starforce game but 1 was the only one I ended up properly beating#because sf2 I got lost before I could reach the last dungeon-thanks mu maze or whatever-and sf3 the final fight I just- sucked so bad#oh I beat 11 but it was on easy mode 💀 (same with me almost beating 10)#x1 I would’ve also beat but “lmao castle save system” (I should beat x4 one of these days but uh ride chaser stage)#so technically it’s just classic/x I lack the appeal of bc I couldn’t get through them and legends/bn I never played#but legends I at least watched cutscenes (and when I finally get a computer and if it can run emulators I wanna try it)#but BN? Uh I played bn5 but didn’t like it rip#I’m waiting for the LC to go on sale but I either missed it or it never fucking wants too#bc in Germany it did but NOT OVER HERE#Also I wanna mention nothing particularly spiked my mm reinterest#Esp when I just started a mecha last night#My autism to just rant is taking over and flooding tags

nothing better than setting completely unreachable goals for myself for this febuwhump
#whispers in your ear#10k words ...#10k words per fic....#10 fics in total.... though technically nine and i could actually split that one into 5k per chapter....#so that would be 90k words average...#which is more than i have EVER EVER EVER written but im just silly.... im jusy silly like that....#since i have 10 fics to write and 29 days to write them (in time) that means i have 2.9 days per foc#fic*#this is extremely unachievable but i am a freak of nature#AND#and im a freak of nature that is on medication for thyroid problems which fucked up whumptober 4 me#do u.. do u see where im goin#anyways#leaving it at that#actually one last thing should i palworld or febuwhump. that is a very important question

hes just "killer" but its really funny to keep calling him "the killer" like its kindof the same thing but its funnier because ITS THE WENDY WILLIAMS THE KILLER MOMENTS thats what it keeps making me think of thats why its funny to me
and also image of little girl holding the hand of a guy with a thousand yard stare his other hand balled up white knuckles n shes like "and this is my best friend The Killer"
#ocs#unrelated note theyre so nothing cuz theyre technically just regular guys i should make their designs a little more interesting#but the point sort of is its just a group of generally verynormal humans. im not sure how weird and unrealistic things get#but theyre just some people minus all the murder that one time its not important and maybe wont be im still rewriting 2013 shit#i COULD make shit weirder they could have more situations going on. but the shit im working with is kind of rough ok its gonna take a minut#thats still not my strong suit in character design if theres not much going on or they have no reason to dress too crazy#im only picking up these characters like. maybe 10 years later from a few days ago they have a ways to go#i like korie tho but i always liked korie she was the least ugly design back then#the bar is pretty low but i actually dont mind looking at old art of her so that puts her pretty high up there

I was approached by @ibrahim-family to post this comic he sent me for him. it’s not done by me, but by an artist that wants to be anonymous and gave him permission to post it.
Help Ibrahim’s family escape the Gaza war
€2,315 out of €20,000 goal
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/99dc08edde2f9ee425671cd6ca2532a7/e495f01b61f660a5-03/s540x810/62b48067552a624a3a6867c848febe362f52499a.jpg)
Ibrahim is only fifteen years old and trying to survive a genocide. I will reiterate what i’ve said on other fundraiser posts:
A child should never have to beg for help for his family online. He should be in school. He should be playing video games or hanging out with his friends. This is one of the many things this genocide has taken from him and many other children his age. A childhood. Ibrahim says his dreams are to seek asylum abroad with his family and developing his scientific and technical skills.
Please help Ibrahim’s family survive and give him a chance to go to school and have the future he dreams of 🙏🏼 every child deserves a chance, he has his whole life in front of him, don’t let that be taken from him.
Like every family in Gaza, they lack basic necessities like food and water, your donations can help them stay alive in this horrible situation.
Their goal is only 20,000 euro, this is very achievable. with 2,315 euro they are nearly a fourth of the way! they need 17,685 to reach their goal, and 7,685 to reach 50%
if only 10 people donate 25 euro each every day, they will be halfway to their goal in a month. I think we can do even better than that. your donation matters!
this fundraiser has been vetted by @gazavetters, as number 25 on their spreadsheet

"The first modern attempt at transferring a uterus from one human to another occurred at the turn of the millennium. But surgeons had to remove the organ, which had become necrotic, 99 days later. The first successful transplant was performed in 2011 — but even then, the recipient wasn’t immediately able to get pregnant and deliver a baby. It took three more years for the first person in the world with a transplanted uterus to give birth.
More than 70 such babies have been born globally in the decade since. “It’s a complete new world,” said Giuliano Testa, chief of abdominal transplant at Baylor University Medical Center.
Almost a third of those babies — 22 and counting — have been born in Dallas at Baylor. On Thursday, Testa and his team published a major cohort study in JAMA analyzing the results from the program’s first 20 patients. All women were of reproductive age and had no uterus (most having been born without one), but had at least one functioning ovary. Most of the uteri came from living donors, but two came from deceased donors.
Fourteen women had successful transplants, all of whom were able to have at least one baby.
“That success rate is extraordinary, and I want that to get out there,” said Liza Johannesson, the medical director of uterus transplants at Baylor, who works with Testa and co-authored the study. “We want this to be an option for all women out there that need it.”
Six patients had transplant failures, all within two weeks of the procedure. Part of the problem may have been a learning curve: The study initially included only 10 patients, and five of the six with failed transplants were in that first group. These were “technical” failures, Testa said, involving aspects of the surgery such as how surgeons connected the organ’s blood vessels, what material was used for sutures, and selecting a uterus that would work well in a transplant.
The team saw only one transplant fail in the second group of 10 people, the researchers said. All 20 transplants took place between September 2016 and August 2019.
Only one other cohort study has previously been published on uterus transplants, in 2022. A Swedish team, which included Johannesson before she moved to Baylor, performed seven successful transplants out of nine attempts. Six women, including the first transplant recipient to ever deliver a baby back in 2014, gave birth.
“It’s hard to extract data from that, because they were the first ones that did it,” Johannesson said. “This is the first time we can actually see the safety and efficacy of this procedure properly.”
So far, the signs are good: High success rates for transplants and live births, safe and healthy children so far, and early signs that immunosuppressants — typically given to transplant recipients so their bodies don’t reject the new organ — may not cause long-term harm, the researchers said. (The uterine transplants are removed after recipients no longer need them to deliver children.) And the Baylor team has figured out how to identify the right uterus for transfer: It should be from a donor who has had a baby before, is premenopausal, and, of course, who matches the blood type of the recipient, Testa said...
“They’ve really embraced the idea of practicing improvement as you go along, to understand how to make this safer or more effective. And that’s reflected in the results,” said Jessica Walter, an assistant professor of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, who co-authored an editorial on the research in JAMA...
Walter was a skeptic herself when she first learned about uterine transplants. The procedure seemed invasive and complicated. But she did her fellowship training at Penn Medicine, home to one of just four programs in the U.S. doing uterine transplants.
“The firsts — the first time the patient received a transplant, the first time she got her period after the transplant, the positive pregnancy test,” Walter said. “Immersing myself in the science, the patients, the practitioners, and researchers — it really changed my opinion that this is science, and this is an innovation like anything else.” ...
Many transgender women are hopeful that uterine transplants might someday be available for them, but it’s likely a far-off possibility. Scientists need to rewind and do animal studies on how a uterus might fare in a different “hormonal milieu” before doing any clinical trials of the procedure with trans people, Wagner said.
Among cisgender women, more long-term research is still needed on the donors, recipients, and the children they have, experts said.
“We want other centers to start up,” Johannesson said. “Our main goal is to publish all of our data, as much as we can.”"

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.
It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!
But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!
The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.
It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?
Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.
Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.
Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.
Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.
Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.
Lotta problems with lens caps.
For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.
This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:
However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.
#space#space history#venus#NASA#Venera#spost#I will talk all day about venus#ask me about venus floating sky cities#unpopular opinion venus > mars#this is probably my favorite space history story#the surface of venus is made of lens caps#don't try to tell me the universe doesn't have a sense of humor#well#I guess its more that people have a sense of humor and we happen to live in the universe
