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.

making setting-specific warrior cat names is fun but difficult. how do i use armadillo as a prefix without the name taking 1000 years to say
#armadilloclaw. kind of cool!#also u never think abt it but so many animal and plant names are alreqdy compound words#killdeer....hummingbird....ringtail.....prairie dog.....#bluebonnet...honeysuckle.... and then super long names like coreopsis or portulaca#a lot of fun but challenging#AND THEN u get into names that arent english and its like what language are the cats even speaking??#im not doing a whole lotr watership down fake language translation thing. i cant. i simply cant#they speak english and some spanish because they are my characters and thats what i speak. i cant get more complex than that or i will . die

this took a while soz, I'm happy with it though.
Here it is in full/not broken in half.

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
#medical geekery#(nature is delightfully terrifying sometimes - man)#(obv - tho this compound has its relatively benign contexts)#(just in the subject of pathology and botany - terrifying)#(the various kinds of ways plants have been environmentally pressured into staving off various pests is great)

Sandwicensin's Botanical Chemistry with Wiliwili


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
(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.

What’s your Whumpee’s favorite hobby and what have you done to ruin that for them
#I’ll go first#Noah kinda liked to garden#he didn’t like mulching or weeding or anything but being around plants makes him happy#especially colorful exotic plants#so I locked him up so the most plants he’s encountered in years were the aquatic weed things in Declan’s fish tank#and the dying grass outside the compound but he’s only seen that a handful of times#whump#whump shitpost

“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.
#ra speaks#personal#found a t*rf on my dash. le sigh. still reaping the discontent of being young and stupid at 15.#some people don’t know they’re intersex until puberty. some people have the fact that they’re intersex hidden from them#either by their parents or hidden from them AND their parents by DOCTORS PRESENT AT BIRTH who perform nonconsensual cosmetic surgeries#without parental knowledge!!!! like the insistence that sex is binary and inherently obvious from birth is just wrong.#‘how dare the trannies mutilate children’ beloved doctors are butchering intersex infants to fit your narrow definitions of human sex.#maybe I’m just used to working with plants and bugs but like. no. lmao.#male and female are just two poorly defined spoonfuls in a soup of physical hormonal and medical markers of ‘gender’#which is further complicated and compounded by cultural and societal norms#I know it’s hard but maybe try learning about things beyond your middle school sex ed class??? you’re an adult. learn. grown. be better.

( betcha Vash can tank toxins/poisons up to a certain amount.
would love to see him spit out a mouthful of blood that he's carefully processed/metabolized toxins into )
#( would love to see him consume/take poison for a human companion and just *do that* )#( 'Plants carefully control how specialized compounds are built stored and released' )#( not a hot take but I'm apparently just adding little non-human traits as I go lately )#( i need to go to bed lmao )#( if this is in the manga or smth idek man it's canon to my Vash now )#curtains down ✧〗( ooc )#independent plant manual ✧〗( headcanon )

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
#DO I MAKE SENSE???? i want to train my brain to come up with ideas Like That but obviously not something similar to That idea#because its so specific i feel like i couldn't come up with my own idea without it being an obvious extension#when i get inspo/ideas from other stories it's things like. so i read a story about a carnival and that planted the idea#of wanting write a carnival in my mind. i didnt think about it too hard but of course a couple weeks later i get the between us girls idea#i think it falls into this category of weird idea but not like. technically impossible. like someone COULD do that#that's the kind of experimental ideas im drawn to at the moment#like that + the confidence of it all#anyway because im not as prioritised on nano im gonna skip my apocalypse mini TBR and start reading bryan washingtons collection#bc ive had it for two years and i feel a Need to write short fiction but#also feel like i need to Read some first#i prefer reading short fiction in print and flash/micro online btw is anyone else like this. i hate scrolling for a long time#i will say. los angeles + how many (bryan washington) has created a sort of compounded inspo#where i want to write a short piece with multiple lovers. i think my guy with ibs x wellness youtuber could be That one

One of the World's Most Toxic Plants!

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.

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!"

spent three hours trying to get a conveyor belt working only for the shift to end and my boss to get there and say ''don't worry we'll fix it. It's probably just [thing that wasnt the issue at all]". but that's alright. I don't care. beat me. take my blood
#god I popped the fucking heavy ass motor off the gearbox and it spat up oil all over me#the thing I hate about being THE person for everything for night shift is like...#I think at most I have the equivalent of like an advanced apprenticeship as a plant mechanic but I'm still alone#So it's me- 15' up in the air in a lift alone. In the dark. and the one problem turns out to be compound and I don't even know if I have+#+the parts because- well because I don't know if we have them in but also- I don't have the experience to know if I can swap this for that
