The tallest tree in Wales had been damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, but chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolize the tree's last attempt to reach the sky.

Gregory works night security for a local pizza place. He loves to cook, sing, and create deadly animatronics. He favors 80s music but loves any kind of movie, especially when they include murderous robots. His favorite game is guessing if the stain on his shell is motor oil or human blood.
Made with real shell.

Give me the flammable life; I'm cold as a match, ready to strike...so here I go. Here lies a city on fire, singing along, the arsonist choir...now here I go.
It started with a spark and burned into the dark...now here I go. There is a river I found, into the wild, under the ground...so here I go.
A button on a string and I heard everything...now here I go. Well...Oh, sweet ignition, be my fuse; you have no choice. You have to choose.
Bid farewell to yesterday, say goodbye I'm on my way. But in the end we all, come from what's come before...so here I go.
Well...oh sweet ignition be my fuse, you have no choice you have to choose. Bid farewell to yesterday, say goodbye I'm on my way.
I threw it all away because, I had to be what never was. Been so hungry I could lie; you took my word I took your wine. And held you in my bloody hands, these rattled bones and rubber bands. Washed them in the muddy water, looking for a dime and found a quarter!
But you can't make me change my name, you'll never make me change my name! Pay no mind now ain't that something...

I'm something from nothing; you are my fuse! I'm something from nothing; you are my fuse! It goes oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! It goes oh oh oh!
AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!
No you can't make me change my name, you'll never make me change my name! Pay no mind now ain't that something!

I'm something, from nothing!
I'm something, from nothing!
Ohhhhhh Grohl, Shiflett, Smear, Hawkins (🕊), Jaffee, Mendel, and much, much later, Freese. Grohl and Hawkins definitely live in my brain, rent free.

“Normal” test results are not the relief people think they are. When you wake up in pain and continue to be in pain for hours every day and your tests come back normal you don’t stop being in pain.
#chronic pain#I guess#cripplepunk#crip punk#<— correct me if that’s overstepping#what do I tag this with#I obviously didn’t get a diagnosis#personal but I’m also really scared of needles#and having to go through the fear and pain and crying and screaming#for nothing#doesn’t feel good#people tell me it’s not “nothing#but I know exactly what I did before the tests#which is nothing!!#and I didn’t have to go through that pain for that!!!#also å few months ago I genuinely thought it was completely normal#later I realised that spending hours each morning warming up my hands to feel usable might be more pain and stiffness than other people#experienced#I genuinely didn’t expect all of my friends to say they didn’t feel ANY pain at all#and now I’m just hyper aware of how not normal this is#and I’m still in pain#and now I’m not gonna get any help other than a “try heat therapy from the doctor#which is what I was already doing#like no im not crying cause I’m not sick#it would be great if I wasn’t sick#but clearly something’s wrong

The Sound of One Hand on the Brink of Clapping
Norman Fischer, Rebecca Solnit, et al.: ''The Sound of One Hand on the Brink of Clapping'
[Image: “Warning: Bees Ahead (Joshua Tree National Park),” by John E. Simpson. (Photo shared here under a Creative Commons License; for more information, see this page at RAMH.)] From whiskey river’s commonplace book: What is this thing that has us chewing at our own selves, grating ourselves against our own sharp sieve? It is the act of stepping back. It is the act of separating, and judging.…

the h in nhl stands for homoerotic
bonus intricate rituals:

#this is my new fave live game :')#chiarot tried to scruff sid and my precious gigantic baby son drew said: NO!!!!!!#also it is my duty as a crazy sid/ek fan to say that after sid was freed from the box and was later back on the bench#ek who was still on ice circled back and skated towards him#and tenderly held him by the chin and said something to him (sweet dirty nothings i'm sure)... sid giggled like a schoolgirl about it#anyway. again a very good game for me sid/ek-wise#ek with his arms open waiting for his victory prize aka sid barrelling into him after the otgwg and keeping his face pressed close...#sidney crosby#pittsburgh penguins#ben chiarot#detroit red wings#again#long post#hockey#nhl#sports#GAY#SO GAY

By now, there's lots of people have heard about the internal CDC memos for all newly prepared manuscripts (like future scientific papers waiting to be published):
There's so much to comment on, and I'm seeing it all right now. What the state of science is. What this means for the queer community. All of that.
But fuck, I think I might genuinely start crying over this. As a transgender biologist, this feels like a brutally personal blow. I slowly accepted my gender alongside my biology education. The more misinformation that was spewed about "biological sex" by mainstream media, the more my professors, colleagues, and primary sources would casually drop information that proved they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm not an expert on sex determination, gender, or transgender biology specifically by any means. But my worldview has been crafted by my studies in genetics and molecular biology.
Engaging with this research helped me demystify transition. It helped me optimize my transition. It helped me explain how HRT and other steps of trans healthcare work to other people. And it helped me overcome my own internalized transphobia, and finally start transitioning, despite knowing I wanted to since my preteen years.
Who knows how enforceable internal guidelines like this will be. But its certainly going to scare a lot of researchers away from transgender healthcare and science in the coming years, and that breaks my heart.
There's a lot I can say here, but fuck. I just needed to vent for a moment. Fuck.
#before this election#I had a backburner disillusionment with the current state of research and society#particularly in its impotence#climate scientists collecting data on a dying world and sending it to governments who do nothing#lab biologists generating more and more experimental data thats stifled from becoming real medical development by pharma and insurance#the events of the past couple of weeks have escalated that feeling a lot tbh#add it to the pile of reasons im leaving academia#i feel like i need to do SOMETHING with that feeling#but i dont know what#biology#transgender#trans#us politics

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.
(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#lost in the book with nightmare before christmas#hajimari no halloween#unique magic posters#this was so unforseeable!#i hope malleus gets pumpkinified immediately and sebek has to carry him around on a little velvet cushion#i hope jade puts his plant knowledge to good use by being extremely judgy about the firmness of everyone's rind#i hope that everyone is still wearing their silly little hats as pumpkins#(i know they won't. but if we don't have hope we have nothing.)#and i'm still feeling like oogie's gotta show up later and menace jamil just by existing#perhaps we'll have to team up against him with the scullsman or something 👀#also just to get it out before being proven entirely wrong#my theory is still that he's from the past and we gotta teach him about the True Meaning of Halloween (aka candy and funtimes)#so he can go back to his own time and become the founder of modern-day candy and funtimes halloween or something#bootstrap paradox be damned#i could be entirely off-base but that's what i'm thinking right now#idk he just has the vibe of an old-timey boy to me#he's had the great misfortune of being born before there were hot topics where he could meet other jack skellington fanatics#too late for the black plague too early for the black parade 😔

Just your average male living space.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen qing#lan wangji#A-Yuan#wei wuxian#(***Content warning for me talking about unhygienic living conditions in the tags today***).#The worst part of drawing this comic is that I've seen so much worse. This is a livable space.#I've helped out friends and family who were struggling and let me just say...I have seen some pretty dysfunctional living spaces.#Hell I've *lived* in some very dysfunctional living spaces.#Hording dishes under the bed was always something that grossed me out but it's unfortunately something I've seen people do way too often.#The horror everyone has upon walking into WWX's 'living' set up is so consistently 'Mate how are you living like this?'#It's honestly so integral to me that WWX's 'just left home for the first time' house/room be a depression/dysfunction pit.#You can learn a lot about someon's state of mind from how they keep their living space...and this guy is oozing 'deep depression'.#I don't think he's eaten anything but foods that classify as a struggle meal in a year.#Everyone is trying to stage an intervention but he just isn't in a good enough place to help himself.#By the way: I want to steer away from shaming people who have messy homes/rooms because life *does* hit hard sometimes.#My love language is coming into your home to do your dishes and do some housework. Don't apologize for the mess king.#Nothing could top some of the places I've had to help my older siblings out of.#I'd be okay with my flatmate having a severed limb and a blood pool at this point.#As long as he lets me take out the dishes from under the bed - We're good! My standards are so low at this point.

You’d think that omegaverse aus would work really well for SVSSS, what with PIDW being a shitty internet porn series with 10,000 variations of sex pollen, but if you really try to rework the whole universe for abo you’ll find that it would actually crumble the very foundations of the series. This is due to the simple fact that the entire plot is spurred by Su Xiyan’s pregnancy, with her giving birth to Binghe alone while Tianlang-jun is imprisoned, but if the series was omegaverse there is no way in all hell that notorious dom sugar daddy masc Su Xiyan wouldn’t be the alpha to submissive and breedable omega Tianlang-jun. ANY other possibility is OOC on a world-breaking level. In this essay I will
#svsss#svsss shitpost#omegaverse#su xiyan#tianlang jun#tiansu#like there ARE abo aus and they work fine on a smaller level#but if you try to do a series rewrite that covers the whole plot up you’re gonna have to make some Choices#and usually they’re incorrect!!#u ever reread something u wrote and think. oh this must be incomprehensible for normal people#rip all my followers from before but I regret nothing#my post
