#it’s so hard to classify things

[gilded-moon]

My fiancée: hey babe, can you analyse Star Wars species for me?

Me, an ecologist: yeah! It’ll be fun :)

Ten minutes later

Me: *crying* Pantorans should have blubber but they don’t because they aren’t chunky enough

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

rei said the drbs were a test to find a bond shared between three people in order to wield the true hypnosis mic, and i love that they seeded out the idea of mic sharing via this moment between kuukou shakku and hitoya lol

hot take: Skibidi Toilet (as in the og series and not the stupid exploitative content farm shit) isn't even as bad as people say it is. like yeah it's definitely silly and nonsensical, and maybe super young kids shouldn't exactly be watching it, but can you really say that the insanity of Skibidi Toilet isn't at all similar to the types of Gmod videos we used to watch when we were kids and teenagers? are we seriously trying to act like our own nonsensical Source Engine shitposting from way back in 2007 is somehow better than the more modern shitposting of Skibidi Toilet? or are we just deeming anything liked by kids as "cringe" now. cause that's what it seems like.

also the whole "Skibidi Toilet Syndrome" thing is really stupid and is literally just describing kids reenacting stuff they like on the internet which is a completely normal thing for kids to do. i used to reenact Viva Reverie's old MLP toy horse nonsense videos back when their channel was still called "IMATOONLINK" because they were funny as hell. kids acting out their favourite medias isn't new and it isn't suddenly a bad thing or a "syndrome" when it's something that's generally considered to be "cringe" on the internet. you guys are just mean.

saw a lot of fungi on a hike <3

(image IDs under the cut)

Image 1: Close-up, top view of Mycena roseilignicola (Rosy Mycena) on a mossy log. They have clear pink caps with depressed centres, and stipes (hardly visible).

Image 2: Front view of Amauroderma rugosum on the forest floor. It has a brown stipe. It has a cap with concentric zones of brown and slightly rolled black edges.

Image 3: Fungus in the Flammulina genus on a vertical piece of log, with yellow-brown caps that are darker in the centre. It is broadly convex and has stipes (hardly visible).

Image 4: Rhodofomitopsis feei on a log. It is sessile (no stipe, bracket fungi). It has a cap with concentric zones of brown, and white edges.

Image 5: Fungus in the Trametes family on a mossy log. It is sessile and its cap has concentric zones of brown, light brown, green, and brown.

Image 6: Scattered Mycena roseilignicola (Rosy Mycena) and Mycena chlorophos on decaying sections of a log. The photo is overexposed and the caps of the Rosy Mycerna appear whitish, almost light pink. They have depressed centres and visible stipes. Mycena chlorophos are small and white, with broadly convex caps and stipes.

Image 7: Top view of Mycena chlorophos on a crevice of a log. They are small and white, with slightly recurved edges and less visible stipes.

Image 8: Fungus in the Ganoderma genus on a vertical piece of wood. It is brown with a sandy texture closer to the wood, has irregular concentric zones of darker brown, and is white at the edges.

Image 9: Fungus in the Ganoderma genus on a piece of wood. It is sessile, dark pink near the wood and white or light pink at the edges. It has slightly recurved edges and a moldy-looking texture.

Image 10: A further, point-of-view shot of Scattered Mycena roseilignicola (Rosy Mycena) and Mycena chlorophos on a log. The fungi appear to be very small, clustered along some sections of the log. There are dead leaves on the forest floor and various plants in the background.

Does anyone think the whole of cluster A could be included as part of the schizospec, or should it just be limited to STPD? Both PPD and SZPD seem to present commonly with a good deal of the negative symptoms associated with the spectrum, but lack the positive symptoms. However, STPD doesn't have the positive symptoms either - rather they're considered much more mild (e.g. ideas of reference vs delusions). Maybe some level of psychosis and cognitive distortion/deficit needs to be included to count under the spectrum?

I see SZPD being included in posts referencing the spectrum sometimes, but not PPD, and I wonder if it's because SZPD references the "schizo" prefix in the name so people automatically link it to the spectrum even though, as far as I can tell, it's not included medically. Maybe it's the lack of understanding for PPD that makes it excluded? Or maybe I'm still limited in my understanding of how PPD typically presents (curse the limited info on Clusters A and C). STPD does seem to be a mix of the two as well, re the social deficit and suspicion of others, so maybe there's some factor in that.

It would be nice if I could find a clear reasoning for exclusion. Like I'm not arguing for their inclusion but I am curious about what classifies as part of the spectrum and what doesn't, given STPD does not seem to meet the full scope of positive symptoms.

:] Hi Happi!!! 1, 5, and 33 for the ask game.

Bababird!!! Hello hi hope you're having a lovely day 🖤🖤🖤

who is/are your comfort character(s)? Hard to pick, tbh! There's so many cool characters out there, but I don't know if I necessarily have any that I keep that close to my chest. I think maybe the closest ones to "comfort character" levels of affection are Ty Lee from alta and maybe Marie from the Aristocats, oddly enough. I just go :] whenever I see them lmao

5. what color are your eyes? Hazel! They can look green, brown, and sometimes even gold/yellowish depending on the lighting, what I'm wearing, or even sometimes how I'm feeling (they tend to look very green when I'm sad, I've noticed - probably since the area around them will get all red. Color theory!).

33. the last adventure you’ve been on? Probably seeing Fall Out Boy last month! It was one of the larger concert venues I've been to in awhile, and I went with my sister, who got us the tickets for Christmas. It was really fun and my voice was hoarse the whole day after :D Even got some kandi from a nice lady who was passing them out to all the concertgoers she could get to!

how many named NPCs has Rereha slept with?

Surprisingly few--for all that Rere is a shameless hedonist who flirts as easily as she breathes, has ogled many good-looking men and women across Eorzea, and whose usual qualifications for a bedmate are only "an adult and able to verbally consent," she does have a sense of propriety of when it's actually appropriate to try to sleep with someone. This is further compounded by the fact that not everyone she finds attractive is someone she necessarily wants to bang (personality clashes, yo) and not everyone she'd be DTF is interested in her in turn.

Of the various MSQ and side quest characters she has in fact slept with:

Thancred (once, and it was weird; they work better as the Scions' pair of shameless flirts tag-teaming off one another)

Moenbryda (very athletic, very awesome, Rere was walking funny for three days)

Leofard (regular FWB)

Radlia (only once, a shame, Rere would be down for more assignations)

Nero (very sporadically, usually only when they're both Bored and Nero's got a new "invention" to test)

Reyna Breakhook (Rere has zero idea about how she funds her fishing expeditions, they've merely run into one another in various taverns over the years; sometimes they bang, sometimes they just drink and swap traveling stories)

Cyella (before and after "Shadow Walk with Me")

Radovan and Sophie (separately and together, 10/10 highly recommended experience)

As a note: Rereha is aromatic, and all of her sexual encounters are precluded by a brief discussion to make it clear that Rere is here for a fun time and a fun time only.

i really hope ghost wins the Grammy for best metal performance, not because I think they deserve it more than the other nominees but because it would piss off a lot of metalheads and I think that would be really funny

thinking about beast/ars and how much it disappointed me.

"Wait, what's a normie? I keep hearing you say that, and I still have no idea what it means." ( anita )

          UNPROMPTED ASKS. » always accepting!

    "Simply put, it's people who gravitate towards social standards, accepted practices, and fads of their own time while never having to go through being an outcast in modern society. This could either mean they're popular, well-liked, or have what you would consider 'pretty privilege', to the point where if they aren't romantically involved with someone, then they would easily have many vying for their own heart," Vivian patiently explains. Of course, the whole entire time, she tries not to let bitterness seep through her voice, but given how her words seemed to imply deep-seated resentment, it's clear her definition was quite biased. ...Regardless, Anita should tread carefully if she didn't want to risk earning Vivian's ire.

tired of seeing people be stupid abt mental illness and symptoms btw "omg but everyone does that!!" yeah dipshit the point is that it reaches a pathological level and impedes functioning to a noticeable degree. everyone gets nervous but anxiety disorders exist for a reason, being sad sometimes is normal but depression is another level, etc. etc. I could go on with every other mental condition
