It may look like an innocent green plant, but its name evokes something far closer to a robot or interstellar rocket. Neo Px is a bioengineered plant capable of purifying indoor air at an unprecedented scale, the first in a potentially long line of such super-powered organisms. "It's the equivalent of up to 30 regular houseplants in terms of air purification," said Lionel Mora, co-founder of startup Neoplants. "It will not only capture, but also remove and recycle, some of the most harmful pollutants you can find indoors." Five years ago, the entrepreneur met Patrick Torbey, a genome editing researcher, who dreamed of creating living organisms "with functions." "There were plants around us, and we thought that the most powerful function we could add to them was to purify the air," said Mora, during a tour of a rented greenhouse in Lodi, California, two hours from San Francisco.

Something from watching a lot of chubbyemu is my fear of calcium oxalate.
It will fuck you UP.
And there's just so many plants out there that converged on, "hey, let's just make insoluble crystalline needles to ruin something's day (notably/mostly herbivores/ruminants)."
Just. You got dermal irritation. Respiratory fun times if it gets in the airways. GI shit on another.
AND pièce de résistance... tearing up the living shit outta your kidneys, 'cause that's what kidney stones are largely made of! :D
What a fucking incredible lil chemical that is. :,D

Sandwicensin's Botanical Chemistry with Wiliwili
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sandwicensin, despite its name, isn't related to sandwiches but is derived from the plant "Erythrina sandwicensis," also known as "Wiliwili" in Hawaii. This leguminous plant is found at around 600 meters above sea level on the leeward side of the Hawaiian Islands. Wiliwili, meaning "twisted repeatedly" in Hawaiian, refers to the plant's pods that twist open to reveal seeds. Local people use its seeds for crafting flower leis. 🌺🌿

Fun fact: I just learned that
Tumblr media
(Source)
I don't know why, but that's so funny to me. Imagine being a developing flower but you're on the edge of the flowerhead so you just have to grow your one single huge petal while your neighbors are making functional stamens and carpels, all to make it look like you're a single unified flower so your plant can get more pollinated. What a strategy, gosh.

“I wasn’t assigned female at birth; I was female at birth! A doctor didn’t look at me and decide I was female enough at birth, I’ve been female since the moment of conception.”
*loud buzzer sound*
Given how common the intersex condition is (~2% of the population - how many redheads have you seen?) and the fact that genitalia is not the only physical manifestation of an intersex condition, yes the doctor very much did look at you and decide you looked ‘female enough.’ Indeed your genetic makeup is determined at conception, and your genetic makeup could very well result in the development of an intersex body that may not be externally evident at birth.
Don’t get me wrong, there are issues with the afab/amab dichotomy both colloquially and medically speaking (some people are marked intersex at birth, the dichotomy just reinforces the gender binary with different language, etc.) but it is true that medical assumptions are made at birth based on your external physiology, regardless of genetic or hormonal profile. ‘Biological sex’ is far from binary and pretending otherwise is ignorant at best and dangerously intersexist at worst.

writing inspo when the point of inspo is so intricately specific is weird because its like you want to write something like that but also Not like that because then that would just be writing That story. like los angeles by ling ma is so inspirational to me but "i live with my 100 ex boyfriends" is such a not universal experience so i just have this abstract inspo that's like i want to write something with the same energy as living with 100 ex boyfriends but also not the same energy because the energy of living with 100 ex boyfriends would just be a story about living with 100 ex boyfriends. take a shot every time i said

One of the World's Most Toxic Plants!
Tumblr media
The Arrow Poison Tree, Antiaris toxicaria, is one of the world's most toxic plants. Its milky sap contains various toxic compounds, primarily 'Antiarins,' cardiac glycosides affecting muscles and heart tissues, causing symptoms like seizures and cardiac arrest. In most mammals, its LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) is below 0.1mg/kg. In animal experiments, death can occur within 5-30 minutes after administration.
Tumblr media
The 'Blood Sealing the Throat' tree (Antiaris toxicaria) is found in tropical regions of Asia and Africa. The Li people in Hainan, China, are known to be the earliest to use Antiarins for arrow poison in hunting, mastering this skill over 1700 years ago. Legend has it that when a poisoned arrow hits an animal, it usually runs seven steps uphill, eight steps downhill, and nine steps on flat ground, ensuring certain death, known locally as 'Seven up, Eight down, Nine won't survive!"
