bastille has done more for the queer community by just making all of their love songs about "you" instead of specifying a gender than taylor swift has in all of her discography. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Elemental Naming: Protactinium
Going through several names since its discovery, this actinide was originally called brevium when Kasimir Fajans and Oswald Helmuth Göhring identified it in 1913, thanks to its short half-life. Later in late 1917, early 1918, two groups of scientists - Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner of Germany and Frederick Soddy and John Cranston of Great Britain - independently discovered another, much longer lived isotope.
At that point, the element’s name was changed to protoactinium from the Greek πρῶτος, protos meaning first or before, because the element is part of the decay chain of uranium-235 before actinium. In 1949 IUPAC shortened the name to protactinium to ensure easier pronunciation.

Since KC is back, I wonder how Sun will handle it. Sun said he wouldn’t tolerate being treated poorly anymore. And Moon having his kill-code back doesn’t give him that excuse to do so.
But what I’m worried about is if Sun will allow it to happen, that “Moon can’t help it” he will try to force himself to deal with it again. Sun puts others before him, if he sees Moon struggling he’ll probably try to be there for him regardless if Moon is cruel to him again. And that will definitely take a toll on Sun.

gravity falls is so funny through robbie's pov
>be me, 15 year old emo in a bumfucknowhere town
>lives in a funeral home. my parents embalm bodies twenty feet and an entire wall away from where we cook dinner
>have a friend i want to be my girlfriend
>she starts hanging out with her boss' (???) twin niece and nephew outside of work hours even though they're like in elementary school
>friend becomes your girlfriend
>weird shit happens around these twins. conscience store ghosts, a weirdly pixelated adult man beating you up, your dirt bike gets stolen, your girlfriend's boss and his nephew make your gf break up with you???
>gets memories erased at some point
>suddenly in love with only other female friend, like instantly in love and it's like this came out of nowhere but she's so perfect and you loooooove her it's so great don't question why there's a part of you that doesn't remember ever actually falling in love with her. also those fucking twins had something to do with this again.
>apocalypse happens
>mfw im apparently part of a secret key of people that can save the world by holding hands but it gets fucked up last minute by your ex's boss fighting with his twin over grammar (did he always have a twin?? why are there so many twins??)
>the ritual you were a part of failed. you were supposed to be a special person and part of saving the world but nope. that failed.
>get turned into a statue
>apocalypse ends and you have no clue how or why
>things like immediately go back to normal
>still with girl you don't remember falling in love with
>the twins just fucking. leave the town. and now there's two of your ex girlfriend's bosses around. no one ever explains how or why any of this has happened. you still live in a funeral home.

thinking about moon and sun's original relationship in tsams
i don't think i've seen anyone talk about how codependent it felt. how, probably without realizing, sun was trapped into the relationship because as long as he was around moon's killcode could be somewhat kept in check
as long as the sun stayed up, people lived.
if we think about it, in a way the same thing happened with nexus and solar

trying to think of a name is downright impossible. how do you expect me to just think of a name to call myself ??? i have nothing. i picked jay because it was.the first thing to come to mind. but i don't know if i like it. but i don't know how to rattle my brain just right so that something else gets dislodged and slips out. do i need to wait for a bouncing logo to hit the corner.

i am afraid of what tiktok is doing to people's view of sharks.
i love sharks. i am obsessed with sharks.
and i'm glad that the "jaws" view of sharks is fading. but it worries me that people are saying things like "sharks are literally just ocean puppies". no, they're not as dangerous as a lot of people think, but they're still wild animals. do not treat a shark like a puppy. i've seen videos of people getting themselves bitten by nurse sharks. if you know anything about nurse sharks, then you know that these people were really harassing them. they're not monsters, but they're not your friends either. they're animals who will lash out if they're antagonized or crowded.
anyway sharks are still adorable and i love them very much

haha guys look how funny the Minecraft movie sheep has exotropia!! this is so goofy and weird!!! why are its eyes like that??? lolololol

[ID: a CGI Minecraft sheep. it has exotropia and is making a funny face]
my eyes are not a joke. my eyes are not "derpy" they aren't funny. real people's eyes look like this. my eyes look like this. it's upsetting to have a movie make a joke out of your eyes and more upsetting to see everyone else not only follow along but amplify it.
yes, the Minecraft movie CGI is unsettling. it is bad but the problem with the sheep is everything except the way its eyes look. real. people. have. eyes. like. that. I cannot emphasize enough that real people have eyes like that. I promise you are capable of criticizing the Minecraft movie's appearance without mocking exotropia.
and if you really want to go above and beyond criticize the Minecraft movie for using exotropia as a joke. call them out for using a disability for laughs. this kind of humor will only continue while people find it funny. make it clear it's not funny.

If you're perisex and make/use "neoAGABs" I'm gonna politely ask you to shut the hell up
Like, you can make jokes about agab but you can't be doing this bullshit. AGAB terminology was coined by intersex people to talk about our experiences, this is well known, but we coined these terms specifically to get away from the idea that female/male are our actual sexes. Just because I was afab doesn't mean I'm female or that I have a biologically female body or any of that.
We keep saying that agab is an event that happened and has no bearing on how your body looks or your identity but no one listens! Agab is not your sex! Please get that through your heads! And if you like neoAGABs because you hate thinking about your agab then just don't think about your agab! No one has to know that information and, again, it says nothing about your actual sex, gender, body, or anything else!
You can reject agab language without mocking intersex terms and experiences!
And, btw, we shouldn't have to baby you or say this "nicely" for you to listen. We aren't your teachers or parents who need to hold your hand through this "tough moment of learning", we are real people who are being hurt by the shit you're doing and we're allowed to be angry about it!
When someone says "you're hurting me" you don't go "say it nicer and I might stop" you just stop!

Ok so. I have a question. If there was a full glass of human blood in front of you, and the was absolutely no health risk to drinking it, like, that's not ever a factor, how much of it do you think you would drink? Because I would at least take one solid gulp.
#i feel like I'd take a sip#mostly out of curiosity.#but if i was in a group setting???#like. sat at a big table. surrounded by people.#I'd down that entire glass no hesitation.#while making unbreaking eye contact with the person across the tabke from me.#just for the reactions

Imagine someone says they "go autistic" every time they get awkward,
and you as an autistic person tell them "hey! You can't go autistic, autism is an identity!"
And they respond with "actually no, social communication disorder is the (SCD) identity!! You actually have SCD and going autistic is the word to describe going awkward!"
That would be really annoying wouldn't it be? Someone using your identity, the word you use to find others like you and to find support which the term autism as ALWAYS described people like you, them trying to change the meaning then telling you, you are actually something else? Really, really annoying.
Apply this situation to people calling verbal shutdowns/temporary speech loss "going nonverbal" then telling nonverbal people who call them out they are actually mute.
ITS REALLY ANNOYING.

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.
#little kids would absolutely eat that shit up#hell i think most teens and adults would eat that shit up with the right teacher#I wish I'd had that kind of thing in school.#finding resources to learn sign language as an adult is not easy.#that or I'm just really bad at searching.#but anyway#I'd also like to emphasize how important it is for sign language to be taught by those who are hard of hearing#...i have more to say but my brain isn't forming the words properly.#so i hope you get what I'm trying to say

I think it’s kinda fitting that we the viewers get to know the one character who in canon was known for his writing, through his writing as well. Like in order to get the full scope of Ford, you have to read his writings!

Do you think people used to have ADHD Text Reply Anxiety back in the day. Do you think there was some girl in the 1870s going "Oh, a letter from Esther, how delightful! I must make time to write her a reply this evening!" And then later she was like "It has been 5 months since Esther wrote me, and I am yet to reply. I fear I have tarried far too long, and if she receives a letter from me now it will seem terribly rude and she will want nothing to do with me. And yet, it is ruder still to not write her at all! I fear I am the only one to blame for my current predicament, as I am most terribly forgetful. Ah, but what a fool I am! I shall pray this evening for guidance from the Lord"
