I live for one reason:

1) i havent died yet

and because of this, i am pretty sure i’m immortal, because i have no proof that i am mortal or going to die ever.

Struggling to find a post I saw with a short story on someone’s Tumblr blog about a charlatan who pretended to be a paladin as part of a con, but ended up actually gaining Paladin Powers™ because the obscure god they chose was an Odin expy who was formerly known as a trickster

woudln’t it be great if tumblr had a working search-function

Transgender writer, historian, and prolific author Jan Morris passed away last night, on Trans Day of Remembrance, at age 94. She’s absolute legend. Her 1974 autobiography, Conundrum, was one of the first first-person narratives of transitioning. Her life was beyond incredible and deserves more recognition beyond her transition. Here are a few highlights:

- In the span of 46 years, she authored at least 45(!) books. These included Booker Prize-shortlisted novels, 8 memoirs, 6 history books, and over 20 travel volumes!

- In 1953, age 26, she assisted in the first expedition that summited Mount Everest. She invented secret code to communicate with the climbers, who didn’t want their messages to be intercepted. Morris waited at base camp and was the first reporter to hear the news Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the summit.

- She fought against Fascists in World War II as part of the 9th Queen’s Royal Lancers cavalry regiment. She later reported on the famous trial of Adolf Eichmann next to Hannah Arendt.

- She was nominated for and won dozens of awards. She held honorary doctorates from the University of Wales and the University of Glamorgan. She also received a CBE from Queen Elizabeth II in 1999, making her one of the first openly transgender people to receive the honor. In 2005, she won the Golden PEN Award, the highest award given to British writers by the PEN writer’s association.

- Her work and writing are survived by her wife, Elizabeth Tuckniss, and four children. She married Elizabeth in 1949, 71 years ago. She had to travel to Morocco in 1972 to get surgery because doctors in the UK refused to treat her unless she divorced Elizabeth. While they eventually divorced later, they were legally reunited when they entered a civil union in 2008.

How a Blobfish Looks with and without Extreme Water Pressure. Learn more 👇🏽👇🏽

Blobfish live in water pressures 60-120 times greater than at sea level. They lack both bones and teeth and have a very low muscle mass. This means that they do not actively hunt and instead, they drift along the seafloor, picking up mostly small creatures like crabs and shellfish. 

Interestingly, they do not possess a swim bladder - air sacs that allows fish to maneuver accurately in the water - and instead, they rely on their very gelatinous flesh (at a similar density to the surrounding water) to keep them at the correct depth.

Although Blobfish as a whole are a mystery to scientists, it is known that during breeding the females lay thousands of eggs (up to 108,000) and that they have complex nesting behaviors. For example, both the female and male will “nest” on the eggs, lying on top of them for protection. Not only that, the fish have been know to clean the eggs, removing dirt and other imperfections. Considering there is a very large necessity to conserve energy for all deep-water species, and given that Blobfish do not actively hunt, flee (or more broadly, move with purpose) it is odd that they show such extravagant breeding practices.

Blobfish are considered endangered. They do not have predators and do not generally have an instinct to flee so as a result, they are often pulled up by ocean floor trawlers, dying in the process.

recommended digital note for students!🍎

OneNote: i use this to take notes for every subject i have. it’s easy, simple + it’s FREE. i don’t have to worry about losing papers again (having a one drive account is a must to save all of the files) and i can access it everywhere.

Notability: this app makes everything easier, it’s simple and is my current fav app ever! they do offer monthly payment but if you have your school account, you’ll get unlimited access for free! 

those are the apps that i use at the moment and they’re the best!

Listen hear ya little sh!ts

Heat Miser is the older one and Snow Miser is younger

Now hear me out

Before the earth got water

It was hot and had volcanoes everywhere

Then because they’re brothers(step-brothers but still siblings)and like fairness or else they fight, there was an ice age which is probably when Snow was created or something.

I’m not wrong
