I should have included the source long ago, I realize, for a previous post. Also, I added at the time the reference to a Major Arcana, the High Priestess

I expected that this photo would go touhou viral already. when playing the game a litle bit, usually beating it. and decoding the files a bit. an image came up called “Chang’e” and this is what it was. So i guess ZUN did draw Chang’e?

When you try to bully but end up being bullied

Here’s a comic that you partially gave me the idea for Mr. Ciryes sir.

Me to myself just into having read the first sentence:

"Ahhhh... [While imagining things] And now let's read the article."

Boning Up

To construct a building from scratch, you might first build a basic shell or scaffold, then replace that with the permanent structure. Building new bone is similar. An intermediate cartilage structure is established first, only to be converted to solid bone subsequently. This process is supported by a dense network of blood vessels, but exactly how they help is unclear. A new study has found that a particular type of these vessels, known as type H (yellow in the bone section pictured, with vessels stained green and red), help replace the cartilage when it’s time. Specifically, the vessels steer bone growth direction, and endothelial cells lining them lead the cartilage breakdown. Excessive cartilage damage is a hallmark of arthritis, and improving bone repair would benefit countless injured patients, so the next step is asking whether we can control and harness this important function of blood vessels.

This is becoming more common thanks to climate change. Though they do not deserve it, our grandchildren will be cursing on us because of how irresponsible we were with ourselves, and our planet. Anyway, do your best to survive

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

your friends are ignoring you

you’re stranded on an island 

you got rejected by a crush

you got fired from your job

you’re in an earthquake

your tattoo gets infected

your house is on fire

you’re lost in the woods

you get arrested abroad

you get robbed

your partner cheated on you

you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

I suggest using AI in order to improve the pace of ethical understanding and practice so that it matches up with the speed of technical improvement, so that the former may not delay the latter any longer

I’m not late, right? Just some hours from the achievement, right? It hurts my eyes to see the pristine, blurred beauty, interrupted by an artificially introduced emoji. Yet, as always, imagination can cancel it out. However, imagination is more useful when you can pair it with knowledge

Wait, people are mad that it's blurry? Isn't that black hole in another galaxy????

It’s literally like 55 million light years away

Precusor (Curie can easily be called one, by my own report)

GMOs, anyone? Nuclear physics? Artificial Intelligence? More. It’s all about understanding. Once you know, you fear less. The reason why one can fear it, is because one ignores it for the most part; when the basics are grasped, and more details, further on, it (the whole picture) becomes clearer. As if you were in a cave, dark and deep, but then, you could have its full map, and you would no longer be scared.

Quote of the day…

I want to have two hearts, so that if one fails, the other can still pump blood. A sub-product of falling in love with the concept of redundancy, I guess

I just wish we had invented immortality by now, and could today prevent events like this. We are losing many valuable brains.

In any case, a knowledge-seeker deserves a tribute.

Implying: low, but not negligible, amounts of micro-nutrients can make huge differences. For example, our hemoglobin has only four atoms of iron, but these are absolutely critical for the protein to work and carry oxygen. Wizards know their shit

using my resources to dump a inordinate amount of cucumber, into the water supply. i am talking 1:1 ratio. they will thank me once the subtle flavor kicks in

My girlfriend is the internet, my mother is Miku, my father is Pepe, my daughter is the future

Is this? Yeah, probably my children won't like this very much. (Probably)

tumblr is like wading through everyone else’s garbage until you find something good and go “ah. this is good” and take it and display it in your own garbage pile

HemoglobinA1C is a "precursor"

A precursor is someone who has contributed significantly and crucially to the development of the Übermädchen (preliminary definition)

I also aspire to become one with my actions, as Dr. Fisura

So long

Thank you to Lavoisier as well, although his names were poor for some elements (I mean, oxygen doesn’t form every acid)

Mendeleiev is my father! Not actually, but still. Take into account how we can actually predict nature. Hah... If only better. (Yes we can, and we are improving by the moment)
