Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

Shameless is basically what you would get if someone pitched the idea 'lets see how many people we can manage to offend before the show gets canceled' and production just ran with it.

the term "phasmid," meaning "stick insect," comes from a latin word meaning "apparition" or "phantom," due to the creatures' ability to hide in plain sight, and then move around and scare people.

the largest phasmids likely remain undiscovered; the longest insect known to science was a phasmid from a species that remains formally unnamed and undescribed, even since being captured for the first time in china in 2014.

a female specimen of the quasi-mythical australian species of gargantuan stick insect was sought by a curator of museum victoria for three years before he encountered one, also in 2014. upon realizing what it was, he says, “I started screaming."

London-based student Lewis Hornby is a grandson on a mission. When he noticed that his dementia-afflicted grandmother was having trouble staying hydrated, he came up with Jelly Drops—bite-sized pods of edible water that look just like tasty treats.

Each of these colorful “candies” is made up of mostly water, with gelling agents and electrolytes making up just 10% of their composition. Available in a rainbow of colors and presented in packaging reminiscent of a box of chocolates, Jelly Drops are an easy and engaging way to avoid dehydration—a common problem for those suffering from degenerative neurological diseases.

“It is very easy for people with dementia to become dehydrated,” he explains. “Many no longer feel thirst, don’t know how to quench thirst, or don’t have the dexterity to drink.” With this in mind, Hornby set out to find a solution. In addition to seeking advice from psychologists and doctors, he opted to “experience” life with dementia himself through the use of virtual reality tools and a week in a care home.

Once he was familiar with what dementia patients need, he brainstormed what they want. “From my observations, people with dementia find eating much easier than drinking. Even still, it can be difficult to engage and encourage them to eat. I found the best way to overcome this is to offer them a treat! This format excites people with dementia, they instantly recognize it and know how to interact with it.”

Case in point? Hornby’s own grandmother’s reaction: “When first offered, grandma ate seven Jelly Drops in 10 minutes, the equivalent to a cup full of water—something that would usually take hours and require much more assistance.”

helping me through this is thinking about how many people who voted for trump are going to have to deal with the consequences of their decisions. they're gonna be kneecapped and complaining about how it came out of nowhere but deep down they know that they caused this.

but i even more want the people who were smart enough to vote for the common good to live in a world where america hasn't rapidly been getting worse and worse since 2016. i want to live in a world where laws that protect the environment and minorities and low earners and our rights can be passed without having to claw and scratch for it the entire way, and to be spared from what we have allowed in.

i want to live in a world where the system has been purged of partisan politics where elected officials vote along party lines rather than what would be best. I want to live in a world where voting third-party is valid because there's not a looming threat on the horizon. i want to live in a world where people can say that they're voting for someone else because that someone else has a chance. i want to live in a world where instead of slinging mud at eachother electoral candidates treat their opponents with respect. I want to live in a world where the government doesn't let billionaires and the bible tell them what to do and only does things that would be for the good of the people, not what would line pockets or be in line with a 2000-year old book. i want to live in a world where the government cracks down on fascist rhetoric and bigots in positions of power. i want to live in a world where people can go to bed and not be worried about tomorrow. i want to live in a world where we can help and protect what we love. i want to live in a world where hope drives instead of hate. i want to live in a world where people can be who they want. i want to live in a world of international and cultural union. i want to live in a world where the earth can heal. i want to live in a world where billionaires pay their fair share. i want to live in a world where no one has to live in a state of poverty. i want to live in a world where everyone has access to an education and housing and healthcare and anything they might need. i want to live in the world republicans said they would bring before they went full mask-off. i want to live in the world the democrats are telling us they will bring. i want to live in a world where the international community has a backbone and shuts down attacks on others. i want to live in a world where genocide is a grim warning from the past and not something people have to live through. i want to live in a world where everyone has a chance to do what they want and what they love. i want to live in a world where if someone tries to undermine and corrupt the system they are stopped before anything happens. i want to live in a world where money is taken out of politics and the people choose, not corporations. i want to live in a world with clear water and fresh air and snow every winter. i want us to unite across the globe and into the stars. i want a world where those with different skin or different sexes or different bodies or different brains are accommodated because there's 8 billion of us on this planet and we're far past the point where homophobia has any possible minute semblance of logic to it, much less racism sexism and transphobia. i want to live in a world where life of all kinds can thrive in all ways. i want to live in a world where people want to work for the common good and the only differences are in how they want to go about it. i want to live in a world people don't want power for power's sake and don't punch down at every opportunity. i want a world where we can trust our elected officials to do what is right and not have to hope that it won't be blocked at any point. i want to live in a world where everyone has a voice. i want to live in a world where compromises can be made. i want to live in a world where i can't keep thinking of wants. i want to live in a world where people can love who they want. i want to live in a world where all those morally righteous people put their money where their mouths are and actually work to make the world better instead of making perfect the enemy of good. i want to live in a world where people can do the jobs they enjoy. i want to live in a world where people can do what they love. i want to live in a world where transparency and honesty are how we are spoken to and how we speak to others. i want to live in a world where we can grow and evolve and heal and help and advance and love. i want elections to be as stressful as a typical sports game, where everyone hopes that their candidate wins but takes comfort in knowing that their opponent's hands are safe.

i want to live in a world where laws are passed to protect and aid, not to harm and bind. i want to live in a world where war is a thing of the past. i want to live in a world where we can come to a peaceful agreement. i want to live in a world where terrorism is a thing of the past because the world is so good that we don't need to change our path. i want to live in a world where everyone is educated and thinking about their decisions and how they would impact themselves and others. i want to live in a world where everyone is educated and happy and free. i want to live in a world where everyone is free from all. i want to live in a world where people can do what they want, and if they can't, then it's not forever. i want the 12-year nightmare to end and just be a story on how things could be worse and we need to all do our part, to all help everyone we share this planet with, to ensure that it won't happen again. that empathy and compassion won't be undermined and torn apart by bigotry and hate. i want to live in a world where we're as far away from this as we are from WWII, far in the background, but still close enough that we know. that we know that it happened. that we know that it hurt. that we know that we have to do better, that we can never go back to that.

i want all of these things and more.

To anyone who voted 3rd party or chose not to vote: I get it, ok? I get that both of them suck. But you're not morally superior or a better person because you chose to not vote. You're a bystander. You sat back and did nothing. You stood there and watched a fire burn, watching everyone else struggle to get buckets and hoses and begging for help, while you stood and said "I refuse to help put out the fire with water! People drown in water every year!". And now the forest is on fire. I'm not saying this to make any of you feel like you're the worst person in earth, but know this:

Grab a fucking bucket next time

Or else we'll all burn

At least now, we still have some buckets. There are still ways for you to help. You were late to stop the spread, but you can help mitigate the burns at least a little now.

The official election counter is not over yet, that being said if you live in a red state and can not afford to move to a blue state or out of the country here’s what I recommend you to do.

If anyone asks your political party or sexual orientation and they are not someone you know and trust, LIE like your life depends on it.

Grow your own produce, get all your vaccines, and consider going plant based as the FDA regulations are going to change drastically.

Home school your children, get all the books that they’re going to ban and home school them babies.

Organize in your communities.

Plan B lasts for 5 years, stock up on it. Same with condoms, and Abortion pills that can be delivered to you discreetly to any state. No one has to know.

Start saving an emergency fund in the event that you have to head to a blue state for life saving care. On top of that make sure you have a form of transportation if you do not already.

If you or someone you know is trans or LGBTQ in a red state no they are not!

Get into contact with immigration lawyers, a lot of them do pro bono work. It is not illegal to be on stolen land. You have rights.

To any Americans currently contemplating suicide: Do you really want that wrinkled, old, dustless cheeto to win? To outlive you? Because I guarantee you, that bitch is like 80 yrs old and he aint got that much longer till he kicks the bucket, don't you want to be there when he does?. Trust me when I say that the satisfaction of finally seeing this wretched old man die will outweigh whatever you think death will achieve tenfold

I am an immigrant in America who comes from a family of immigrants. We haven't gotten citizenship yet and if Trump wins the election, we may never get the chance to. Keep in mind that I have a personal stake in the election results when I tell you that not voting is just not an option this year. Abstaining from the vote is just as, if not more harmful than voting for Trump and there are millions of people's livelihoods at stake. Trump has made it abundantly clear that he does not give a shit for anyone's life other than his own and he is not afraid to trash the country he is supposed to protect to keep himself in power. This man will drive this country to the fucking ground before doing anything even remotely helpful.

An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.

Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.

(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)

John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.

It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.

Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.

His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.

His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.

He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.
