hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

Weighing out all my troubles is my absolute last resort option, but I really need some support.

There's not much i can say here that isn't said above, but this past few months I've repeatedly hit my absolute limit on what I can handle from living with my family. I'm both physically and mentally disabled (DID + fibro/CFS + others, if any of that matters) largely from their actions during my childhood, and needless to say, they don't offer much of a support network for me. I've been routinely exploited for their own benefit on multiple levels recently, and this accompanied further complex trauma processing has made my health decline. The only thing preventing me from reaching independence, besides disability and the hellish roadblock that is the SSI process, is the lack of support. Even if this isn't something I'm able to pursue immediately, just being able to build my savings and work towards this goal would be a huge feat for me. Thank you to anyone who considers helping me out in any way!

On the note of commissions: only pixel-type slots are open, as non-pixel work has been straining to my health the past month ( requires more hours sitting up straight using a tablet). Please also keep in mind that said chronic illness will affect the turnaround times. As always though, updates can be viewed on my Trello (linked in the TOS above).

quaker oats is disgusting and I will go out of my way to never eat anything made by them again. they kept at least one factory so disgusting that when the FDA said Hey you need to actually follow health regulations (in response to a MASSIVE fucking recall due to contamination that made a ton of people sick, and anecdotally myself and several people I know got sick from food that was NOT recalled) they said actually it would be too hard to follow health regulations and SHUT THE FACTORY DOWN INSTEAD

AND THEY TARGET SO MANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AT CHILDREN
